:20:02
There's one thing I'd like to ask you.
:20:07
What is it?
:20:08
I read your letter to Ayako.
What did you mean by it?
:20:17
It was a fine day when I wrote it.
:20:23
I didn't ask you that.
:20:27
But on a bright and sunny day like that,
:20:32
man is filled with hope.
:20:34
Hope concerning what?
Ayako? Are you in love with her?
:20:40
No.
:20:42
Are you sure?
:20:48
I think so.
:20:49
"I think," indeed!
And how does Ayako feel about you?
:20:54
There's more abuse than praise.
:20:57
She calls you an invalid and idiot.
:21:02
Don't be offended though.
:21:04
She's my child to the core?
Willful and a bit crazy.
:21:09
She criticizes or teases anyone
she happens to like.
:21:15
But don't hold any false hopes concerning her.
:21:20
It's a constant worry having grown-up daughters.
:21:25
Know about Kayama?
:21:27
No. What about him?
:21:30
He has high hopes about Ayako, too.
:21:34
He regained her trust by using that money.
:21:39
He gave it back to that woman.
I established his credit.
:21:45
Be that as it may...
:21:47
Oh, yes, I think I'd better warn him, too.
:21:54
Take care.
:21:57
By the way, you'd better not visit him.
