The Japanese ambassador just arrived.
He should be up shortly.
:09:32
Thank you.
:09:35
The Japanese are stalling, Henry.
:09:38
You know that.
:09:41
When Nomura took over as ambassador...
:09:44
...I had some hopes of settling
our differences.
:09:47
But our meetings so far
have been unproductive.
:09:51
He brings me proposals,
I offer compromises.
:09:55
He brings me counterproposals,
and so on.
:09:59
I tell you, Henry,
Nomura was sent here to buy time.
:10:04
That's what he's doing,
at our expense.
:10:07
The president thinks he's...
:10:10
...a man we can trust and deal with.
:10:16
Mr. Ambassador, we meet again.
:10:18
It is always a pleasure.
:10:21
I assume you know Mr. Stimson,
the head of our War Department.
:10:25
Oh, yes, of course.
:10:27
Mr. Ambassador.
:10:29
I do hope, Mr. Stimson...
:10:31
...your presence here
doesn't indicate anything ominous.
:10:35
Of course not, Mr. Nomura.
:10:37
Mr. Nomura, won't you please sit down?
:10:40
Thank you.
:10:45
Well, since our last talk
a week ago...
:10:49
...I have received a certain...
:10:52
...shall we say...
:10:54
...question from my government...
:10:57
...to put to you
to clarify certain matters.
