Nobu can be a difficult man.
:10:12
So you see dear, at parties, sake only in moderation.
:10:17
And he disdains Geisha.
:10:21
But he
:10:23
hes fond of you.
:10:26
Because you admire him, I respect him more.
:10:29
He would never tell you himself.
He's far too modest.
:10:34
We were fighting in Manchuria together,
and there was an explosion.
:10:38
He protected me from the worst of it.
As you might imagine, I owe him quite a debt.
:10:46
Nobu has taught me a great deal, patience, for one thing.
I, in turn, have tried to teach him.
:10:54
You have to savour life while you can.
:10:58
The legend of the cherry blossom.
:11:01
That is why Nobu likes you.
We must not expect happiness Sayuri,
:11:05
it is not something we deserve.
When life goes well, it's a sudden gift,
:11:10
it cannot last forever.
:11:20
Ah Sayuri, there you go.
I have a present for you.
:11:33
Mameha asked me to show you my kimono collection.
:11:38
It's quite venerated, my grandfather and father,
:11:42
collected kimono before me.
:11:45
I've given a number of valuable kimono to Mameha.
I like to give presents to beautiful girls.
:11:54
It's for you.
