:37:02
I don't know.
:37:04
Maybe a week,
maybe a month.
:37:06
Maybe even longer.
:37:08
But I will do everything I can
to make your visit pleasant.
:37:12
If you would only relax and
let me improve our acquaintance.
:37:21
It's pretty hard to become
acquainted with a man
:37:23
who ruthlessly slaughters
helpless prisoners in one move,
:37:26
and in the next shows such a tender
reverence for the beauty of the moon.
:37:30
You have the true
missionary spirit.
:37:34
Really, Miss Davis,
:37:36
there are times when
I would like to laugh at you.
:37:41
But there are also times
when I find you admirable.
:37:49
There are also
moments when I...
:37:53
Perhaps I shouldn't
speak of them.
:37:56
I might astound you.
:37:59
Perhaps you believe us
incapable of such moments.
:38:03
Yes, I'm sure you do.
:38:07
Have you ever read
our poetry, Miss Davis?
:38:10
Do you understand
our music?
:38:14
Have you ever seen our paintings
of women walking among fruit trees?
:38:21
Where the fruit trees
look like women,
:38:24
and the women
look like fruit trees.
:38:29
There has never been
a people more purely artist,
:38:34
and therefore,
more purely lover,
:38:38
than the Chinese.
:38:42
I think we ought to end
this discussion.
:38:45
Certainly, if you
find it objectionable.
:38:48
But I wish you didn't.
:38:50
If you should
change your mind,
:38:53
if you would follow our custom
of accepting third invitations,
:38:58
we are having dinner at 8.
