Memoirs of a Geisha

00:03:15 Tanaka-san!
00:03:20 Tanaka-san!
00:03:31 A story like mine
00:03:36 For my world is as forbidden
00:03:41 Without its mysteries,
00:03:49 I certainly wasn't born
00:03:53 Like so much in my strange life...
00:03:56 ...I was carried there by the current.
00:04:04 The first time I knew
00:04:07 ...was when my father threw the fish
00:04:12 That night we went hungry.
00:04:15 "To understand emptiness,"
00:04:21 Mother always said my sister Satsu
00:04:26 As rooted to the earth
00:04:30 But she told me I was like water.
00:04:33 Water can carve its way,
00:04:38 And when trapped,
00:05:11 Stop here.
00:05:43 These are the girls from Tanaka?
00:05:45 Sisters, yes, from Yoroido.
00:05:50 This one, maybe.
00:05:53 - No, no, Chiyo! Chiyo! Chiyo!
00:05:58 - Chiyo!
00:06:12 Show your respect for Mother.
00:06:14 You must not speak.
00:06:27 Kneel.
00:06:29 And head down.
00:06:47 - How old are you?
00:06:54 Only 9.
00:07:16 Where is my sister?
00:07:19 Let me see those eyes.
00:07:25 Look at me.
00:07:29 Too much water.
00:07:31 But, Okasan, a little water
00:07:35 You won't have to worry
00:07:38 ...losing all your kimono.
00:07:40 These country girls.
00:07:42 Too late to send her back now.
00:07:55 Go.
00:08:01 Pumpkin. Keep her quiet.
00:08:07 Let me go!
00:08:09 Let me go! Let me go!
00:08:12 - Stop that.
00:08:14 Mother will hear you.
00:08:17 I want my sister! Satsu!
00:08:28 I cried too at first.
00:08:33 You know, it is easier
00:08:37 ...that happened before
00:08:41 If you impress Mother
00:08:45 ...she will send you to school
00:08:49 A what?
00:08:51 A geisha. Like Hatsumomo.
00:08:54 You will get to drink sake
00:08:59 Where is my sister?
00:09:02 Probably in another okiya
00:09:07 Your family sold you to this house.
00:09:11 You live here now.
00:09:28 Outside, you wear these.
00:09:31 Inside, these.
00:09:34 We don't display our naked feet
00:09:40 It's not flesh we're selling here.
00:09:43 This is a geisha house.
00:09:48 Remember to always honor
00:09:52 You listen, you learn.
00:09:54 Now get to work.
00:09:58 Be quiet. Hatsumomo is sleeping.
00:10:05 Pumpkin, when can I go outside?
00:10:08 Outside the okiya?
00:10:13 How will I find Satsu?
00:10:15 You can't just walk up to every house
00:10:20 Do you know how many there are?
00:10:24 Look.
00:10:54 Tighter!
00:11:20 Chiyo. Chiyo-chan.
00:11:23 Come. Two nights ago, Hatsumomo
00:11:29 That's what she told Mother. But she
00:11:33 Why can't you be quiet?
00:11:40 So this is the new arrival.
00:12:07 A pity she still stinks of fish.
00:12:16 Stay out of my room.
00:12:20 Your fingers smell.
00:12:22 I can't have you touching my things.
00:12:39 Only reason Mother tolerates
00:12:42 ...is because she brings in
00:12:44 Never forget.
00:12:47 It is Hatsumomo
00:12:50 ...the clothes on your back.
00:12:53 By the time she was 20...
00:12:55 ...she had already earned back
00:13:00 Unheard of.
00:13:02 She has been the talk
00:13:06 These are all hers?
00:13:08 Certainly not.
00:13:14 A kimono like this,
00:13:17 ...it would take a lifetime to earn.
00:13:24 A geisha needs
00:13:28 ...just like an artist needs ink.
00:13:31 If she's not properly dressed,
00:13:36 Nobody told me what a geisha is.
00:13:38 You will find out soon enough.
00:13:41 I have news for you, child.
00:13:43 Mother has determined
00:13:49 You are to become geisha.
00:13:57 Chiyo! Pumpkin!
00:14:01 Quick, quick! Don't be late!
00:14:05 You will be late.
00:14:07 Go. Go.
00:14:13 This way!
00:14:32 Pumpkin! Pumpkin!
00:14:35 Pumpkin! I'm going to run.
00:14:39 No, Chiyo-chan, don't!
00:14:43 You will ruin your own chances.
00:14:45 Please, stay with me.
00:14:55 Squid. Come on!
00:15:16 Look for your sister's name later.
00:15:33 You are late!
00:16:00 Chiyo! Where is Granny's food?
00:16:05 Where have you been?
00:16:08 It's freezing cold!
00:16:12 Close the window!
00:16:15 - With millions of people unemployed,
00:16:19 Banking institutions have continued
00:16:23 ...due to rapid inflation.
00:16:25 Another cause of Germany's suffering
00:16:28 ...to pay the heavy burden
00:16:31 Chiyo! Chiyo, come quickly!
00:16:35 Hatsumomo is at the bathhouse.
00:16:39 - But she told me to stay out...
00:16:45 The Japanese emperor has agreed to
00:16:58 Why, look who's in my room.
00:17:19 Did you touch this?
00:17:27 I can just hear the General now.
00:17:30 "Why, Hatsumomo,
00:17:34 What's this new perfume?
00:17:40 I told you never to touch my things.
00:17:47 Because your General will say,
00:17:55 At least you don't smell as bad
00:17:59 You know, she was here.
00:18:04 What?
00:18:07 Was I wrong to ask her to leave?
00:18:09 Please, tell me where she is.
00:18:16 Only if you swear yourself
00:18:21 Yes?
00:18:26 Now, get out.
00:18:49 Hatsumomo.
00:18:53 Your big sister is thirsty. So am I.
00:18:58 I'm not in the mood for beer.
00:19:00 I know what you're in the mood for,
00:19:08 What did you say, Korin?
00:19:11 I'm sorry. I forgot.
00:19:19 You're just jealous
00:19:26 Guess who this belongs to.
00:19:28 A geisha as desired as she is...
00:19:31 ...ought to keep a close eye
00:19:35 - It's Mameha's?
00:19:37 - How did you get it?
00:19:50 - There.
00:19:53 Give it to her.
00:19:57 - Little Chiyo, come. Come.
00:20:02 Now, then, little Chiyo,
00:20:16 There.
00:20:21 Remember, you swore yourself
00:20:26 Yes.
00:20:54 Don't let anybody see you.
00:21:02 Go, go!
00:21:07 This will teach the great Mameha.
00:21:11 Come, come.
00:21:35 Thieving rat!
00:21:38 That kimono was worth more
00:21:41 Careful! You will hurt yourself
00:21:45 Let me.
00:21:59 Kneel!
00:22:03 What have you done
00:22:07 I haven't done anything.
00:22:09 Her little trick with that kimono
00:22:12 Whatever you have done to anger her,
00:22:18 Lie facedown!
00:22:20 I will beat you hard...
00:22:22 ...so Mother does not
00:22:55 I told you not to let anybody see you.
00:23:00 I have kept my promise.
00:23:02 So tell me, where is she?
00:23:08 She's in the next hanamachi
00:23:14 In the pleasure district.
00:23:17 Trust me, little Chiyo,
00:24:41 Tatsuyo?
00:25:10 Satsu! Satsu!
00:25:12 Satsu!
00:25:14 Satsu from Yoroido! Satsu! Satsu!
00:25:17 No! Satsu! No! Satsu! Satsu!
00:25:49 Sat...
00:25:52 Satsu! Satsu!
00:25:55 Chiyo-chan!
00:25:58 - What took you so long?
00:26:03 I went to your okiya weeks ago.
00:26:07 Please, I did not know!
00:26:10 I've missed you so much!
00:26:14 Let's leave. Tonight.
00:26:16 But we need money, Chiyo. I know
00:26:20 - No, please! Tonight!
00:26:23 Meet me at the Sasame Bridge
00:26:29 Now I have to go. Quickly,
00:26:33 What if I cannot get away?
00:26:35 Be there, Chiyo.
00:26:37 Once I've left, I can't go back.
00:26:39 I've waited as long as I can.
00:27:30 What is she doing here?
00:27:34 Stupid girl.
00:27:37 Your perfect chance to escape!
00:27:41 Get in!
00:27:44 - Koichi, please.
00:27:46 Sneaking around like criminals.
00:27:49 - Koichi, don't...
00:27:52 What's going on?
00:27:54 Koichi.
00:27:57 Who's there?
00:28:01 Go! Now! Go!
00:28:11 Show your face.
00:28:17 Look, Okasan! I caught her stealing!
00:28:19 She was running away
00:28:24 You little thief!
00:28:27 No! She is lying!
00:28:29 - After all we have done for her!
00:28:33 His name is Koichi!
00:28:34 Shut up!
00:28:42 Take her arms.
00:29:04 You are never to see him again.
00:29:10 What do you think?
00:29:14 Never.
00:29:17 Bolt the gate!
00:29:19 No one is leaving this okiya.
00:32:39 Dr. Moro is very expensive.
00:32:44 You seem to be racking up
00:32:50 Kimono destroyed...
00:32:52 ...geisha school...
00:32:54 ...rice and pickles, train ticket,
00:32:58 All this on top of the money
00:33:03 And for what?
00:33:07 And now I hear that your sister
00:33:11 She didn't wait for you.
00:33:17 You must forget
00:33:29 We are your only family now.
00:34:01 "Dear Satsu and little Chiyo:
00:34:04 As one who was once
00:34:08 ...this humble person
00:34:11 ...that six weeks after you left
00:34:15 ...the suffering of your
00:34:20 And only a few weeks afterward...
00:34:23 ...your honored father
00:34:27 This humble person feels confident
00:34:31 ...have found their places
00:34:35 At the temple...
00:34:36 ...there is a poem called "Loss"
00:34:42 It has three words.
00:34:44 But the poet
00:34:48 You cannot read "Loss. "
00:34:51 Only feel it.
00:34:55 My father and mother
00:34:58 My sister, I never heard of again.
00:35:03 I had dishonored the okiya,
00:35:09 I would pay back my debt...
00:35:11 ...year after year after year.
00:35:15 Not as a geisha.
00:35:17 As her slave.
00:35:32 It is too pretty a day
00:35:37 Did you fall down?
00:35:42 Why so shy?
00:35:44 Nothing to be ashamed of.
00:35:50 You see that enchanting lady
00:35:53 Once, when she was just a maiko,
00:35:58 It's true, I did.
00:36:00 And now look at her. So elegant.
00:36:03 Mr. Chairman, shouldn't we hurry?
00:36:07 We see the Spring Dances every year.
00:36:12 What's your name?
00:36:16 Don't be afraid to look at me.
00:36:25 Do you like sweet plum or cherry?
00:36:29 You mean, to eat?
00:36:32 I like sweet plum myself.
00:36:34 Come.
00:36:37 None of us find as much kindness
00:36:42 Hi. Both kinds, please.
00:36:48 My children wait for these
00:37:07 Now I'm a geisha too.
00:37:10 And so you are.
00:37:12 How did you come by
00:37:17 My mother gave them to me.
00:37:20 Generous of her, wasn't it?
00:37:22 As you have been to me.
00:37:27 Smile for me, won't you?
00:37:30 There, now. That is your gift to me.
00:37:39 This will buy your supper.
00:37:41 Now, promise me one thing:
00:37:42 Next time you take a tumble,
00:37:48 That's better.
00:38:00 In that moment...
00:38:02 ...I changed from a girl
00:38:06 ...to someone with purpose.
00:38:10 I saw that to be a geisha...
00:38:12 ...could be a stepping stone
00:38:16 A place in his world.
00:38:46 The money the Chairman
00:38:48 ...could have bought fish and rice
00:38:51 But I gave it back in prayer...
00:38:54 ...keeping only his handkerchief.
00:39:02 I asked one day
00:39:07 And then, somehow,
00:39:40 The Imperial War Ministry
00:39:43 A great victory for our friend
00:39:46 Today, Hitler demanded
00:39:49 ...for Germans living in Austria.
00:39:51 Hitler's quest for lebensraum,
00:39:54 Chiyo-chan, I can't find my comb!
00:39:57 Pumpkin, it's time to go.
00:39:59 - I found it.
00:40:03 Oh, I couldn't sleep last night,
00:40:07 Am I lopsided?
00:40:09 You look beautiful.
00:40:11 With your hair like that...
00:40:13 ...you look more like a pumpkin
00:40:17 Don't poke your neck forward
00:40:20 She's not ready? We will be late.
00:40:23 Poor Pumpkin. Her debut,
00:40:30 - Hurry up, huh?
00:40:33 ...tune your shamisen
00:40:35 When you make a fool of yourself,
00:40:40 Stop crying, your face will run.
00:40:43 Pumpkin!
00:41:12 Pumpkin!
00:42:49 The winter I turned 15,
00:42:55 But that wasn't the only surprise
00:42:59 Along with the snow
00:43:10 Why is she here?
00:43:13 Chiyo! Chiyo!
00:43:15 Open the gate!
00:43:42 Now that your beloved
00:43:45 ...you'll have no need for a maid.
00:43:47 I would never question
00:43:52 ...but you could choose anyone
00:43:56 You flatter me, truly.
00:43:58 I'd give you my Pumpkin if she were
00:44:02 Please. I would never dream
00:44:05 Besides, I could always sell Chiyo
00:44:11 With your eye for beauty
00:44:14 ...surely you can see
00:44:17 If you were not the kind-hearted
00:44:23 ...then I might think you were
00:44:30 Then I'm grateful, Mrs. Nitta, that
00:44:35 Perhaps you can pique
00:44:37 Yes?
00:44:40 ...your offer.
00:44:43 I will cover Chiyo's schooling,
00:44:46 ...till after her debut.
00:44:49 Now I am confident you are teasing.
00:44:53 I could not be more sincere.
00:44:55 If Chiyo hasn't repaid her debt
00:44:59 Impossible! Too little time.
00:45:02 Then I will pay you twice over.
00:45:04 What?
00:45:08 No geisha could ever...
00:45:12 I am certain you will not object
00:45:16 Yes?
00:45:18 If Chiyo erases her debt
00:45:22 ...you will have no part
00:45:28 It's too good to be true.
00:45:32 She isn't in it for the money.
00:45:36 Rumor has it, ever since the prime
00:45:40 ...she's been rich.
00:45:41 That so? Absurd to think
00:45:46 It's that kimono.
00:45:48 She remembers
00:45:51 - Now she wants to get even.
00:45:55 Hatsumomo sweeping into teahouse
00:46:00 And Mameha with our maid.
00:46:04 I'm so far behind.
00:46:07 Don't worry, Chiyo-chan.
00:46:09 Pumpkin!
00:46:16 You are never to speak to her again.
00:46:20 Now you are rivals.
00:46:32 Pumpkin.
00:46:34 Pumpkin.
00:46:43 This is how it was,
00:46:47 Friend turned against friend.
00:46:50 And now the two greatest geisha
00:46:55 Hatsumomo at my back.
00:46:57 Mameha calling,
00:47:00 ...to become one of those elegant
00:47:05 ...floating in a silk kimono,
00:47:12 Chiyo is my new protégée.
00:47:16 As lovely as her big sister.
00:47:19 And with eyes the color of rain.
00:47:25 The Baron is a very special man
00:47:29 Someday, if you are fortunate,
00:47:35 Don't kneel. You are not
00:47:45 Step into the light.
00:47:52 I see water in you.
00:47:54 Does that displease you?
00:47:56 Water is powerful.
00:47:58 It can wash away earth,
00:48:03 But you have not drawn
00:48:06 About your kimono...
00:48:09 You may apologize if you wish.
00:48:12 Why, that is a perfect bow...
00:48:14 ...for a pig farmer.
00:48:17 Don't drop your head.
00:48:20 Elbows in. No weight on the hands.
00:48:24 Yes.
00:48:26 As for the kimono,
00:48:29 Hatsumomo cannot
00:48:32 She is jealous of you?
00:48:34 Not me, I'm afraid.
00:48:36 Someone closer to home.
00:48:41 Rise.
00:48:44 Not like a horse.
00:48:50 Slide your foot forward.
00:48:54 That's it. Now walk.
00:48:57 You are a magnificent geisha.
00:49:01 Tell me, Chiyo, does Mrs. Nitta
00:49:05 Not to me.
00:49:07 Well, someday soon,
00:49:09 One of her own geisha
00:49:12 Strange, isn't it,
00:49:16 That would be like releasing
00:49:19 You have a gift for expression.
00:49:22 And if Mrs. Nitta adopts Pumpkin...
00:49:25 ...that is hardly a threat.
00:49:28 But a young girl
00:49:31 But Mrs. Nitta would never
00:49:33 On the contrary, that is our goal.
00:49:37 - It is?
00:49:39 If you do not inherit the okiya,
00:49:48 Water's always in such a hurry.
00:49:51 Perhaps it is just as well.
00:49:53 We have no time to lose.
00:50:00 We must transform you.
00:50:03 And what takes years,
00:50:13 Say I'm entertaining the Baron.
00:50:15 Like so many clients, he's trapped
00:50:19 So in the teahouse, when he's
00:50:23 ...I reward him like this:
00:50:25 With a glimpse of my wrist.
00:50:28 Seeing this demure little trace
00:50:32 Well, it gives him pleasure.
00:50:36 Or when you're sitting down...
00:50:38 ...for the briefest moment,
00:50:42 Always by accident, of course.
00:51:01 Mameha, when does a geisha
00:51:04 I'm afraid it's the other way around.
00:51:06 Focus on your studies, Chiyo.
00:51:09 Music, the art of conversation.
00:51:11 That's the surest way
00:51:14 On your feet, not off them.
00:51:50 Remember, Chiyo,
00:51:54 And we are not wives.
00:51:57 We sell our skills,
00:52:01 We create another secret world.
00:52:04 A place only of beauty.
00:52:07 The very word "geisha"
00:52:11 And to be a geisha is to be judged
00:53:21 Agony and beauty, for us,
00:53:25 Your feet will suffer,
00:53:30 Even sitting and sleeping
00:53:42 You cannot call yourself
00:53:44 ...until you can stop a man
00:53:48 No one can do that.
00:53:50 Choose someone for me.
00:53:55 The grey hat.
00:54:18 Choose someone for me, Onei-san.
00:54:21 The boy on the bike, with one look.
00:54:44 You are ready.
00:55:25 Hurry up!
00:55:26 You are not making money
00:55:32 For luck!
00:55:56 This binds us together forever
00:55:59 Today you leave your childhood
00:56:03 From this day forward,
00:56:07 "Sayuri. "
00:56:13 When Mameha granted me
00:56:17 ...I felt little Chiyo disappear
00:56:23 I was a maiko now.
00:56:25 An apprentice geisha.
00:56:28 From that moment, I told myself:
00:56:32 "When I make tea,
00:56:36 ...when I dance,
00:56:40 ...it will be for the Chairman.
00:56:42 Until he finds me.
00:56:45 Until I am his. "
00:57:00 Ready?
00:57:05 Thank you.
00:57:12 Friends...
00:57:13 ...we have the pleasure to witness
00:57:32 I remember those eyes.
00:57:34 What was her name?
00:57:38 Sayuri.
00:57:58 Determined, isn't she?
00:57:59 If there'd been a drop of tea in that pot,
00:58:04 Don't tease, Baron,
00:59:05 What a beautiful dance,
00:59:09 Her fans are so hypnotic...
00:59:11 ...that you never notice her feet.
00:59:16 - What's her name?
00:59:20 Sayuri? A name as sweet
00:59:25 I'm afraid these days...
00:59:27 ...even a common chambermaid
00:59:30 So it's nice to see such
00:59:36 Why, yes.
00:59:38 Surely you would like
00:59:40 ...for her gracious compliments.
00:59:42 There is so much I would like
00:59:46 Sometimes the smartest remark
00:59:50 What better advice to follow
00:59:54 Sayuri.
00:59:55 - I was a maiko myself once.
00:59:59 But it's been such a very long...
01:00:02 ...long, long, long time.
01:00:17 I shall destroy you.
01:00:23 She can destroy you.
01:00:26 ...stalk you from teahouse
01:00:29 All in the hope that Mrs. Nitta
01:00:32 - What can we do?
01:00:35 To find a place somewhere
01:00:37 ...where you can practice your skills
01:00:40 - Your first sumo match.
01:00:43 Today you will meet
01:00:46 He is head of the Iwamura Electric
01:00:49 My client for years.
01:00:51 We will entertain him
01:00:54 We may find Nobu
01:00:57 He does not like geisha.
01:01:08 Be attentive. I will do the rest.
01:01:14 Chairman Iwamura. President Nobu.
01:01:17 This is my new younger sister, Sayuri.
01:01:20 Nobu-san.
01:01:24 Nobu-san.
01:01:30 Injured in Manchuria. War hero.
01:01:32 Sayuri, is this your first sumo match?
01:01:36 Nobu-san will have to educate you.
01:01:40 That is the Chairman's diplomatic way
01:01:49 Did you notice our contribution?
01:01:52 We are harnessing
01:01:54 ...to bring electricity
01:01:57 - It was in the newspapers, wasn't it?
01:02:00 You compensate for all
01:02:04 May I ask, how does someone
01:02:09 You should never ask an engineer
01:02:13 Let the girl watch sumo.
01:02:24 Hatsumomo, that snake.
01:02:29 But, Mameha-neisan...
01:02:31 Hatsumomo finds him repulsive.
01:02:34 Mislead her. Go.
01:02:53 Perhaps Nobu-san will be kind enough
01:03:01 Three things matter in life:
01:03:05 Understand one,
01:03:07 But why should a geisha care?
01:03:09 You spend your time
01:03:15 I humbly beg to differ.
01:03:17 What is sumo
01:03:20 What is business
01:03:24 I'd like to know about
01:03:31 They are throwing salt
01:03:43 That man is Miyagiyama,
01:03:48 But he's so tiny.
01:03:50 Only compared to his opponent.
01:03:54 Miyagiyama may use hataki komi.
01:03:59 Are you listening?
01:04:01 Yes.
01:04:05 Hataki komi is a movement
01:04:09 ...to throw the larger man
01:04:12 Victory does not always belong
01:04:16 Look. There.
01:04:18 In his eyes.
01:04:22 I'm afraid our time
01:04:25 - Going so soon?
01:04:47 Now that is hataki komi!
01:04:49 I see now why you like sumo.
01:04:51 You can never judge a man's power
01:04:59 Mameha.
01:05:02 You may bring her again.
01:05:21 I scoured the newspaper
01:05:26 Anything to preserve
01:05:30 A moment stolen...
01:05:32 ...when I was forced
01:05:36 In that instant, I felt the world shift.
01:05:41 But not my own determination.
01:05:44 I made a secret promise:
01:05:47 Along with his picture,
01:05:51 ...and save it for him.
01:06:00 Come in.
01:06:03 Tonight we will deliver a quick blow
01:06:08 - How?
01:06:10 ...at the Tsunashima restaurant.
01:06:12 But first, a visit to Dr. Crab.
01:06:15 - Dr. Crab?
01:06:17 ...he's earned over the years.
01:06:19 Hold still.
01:06:22 I have something in mind. A plan.
01:06:26 Now cut your leg
01:06:28 - What?
01:06:30 Have you gone mad?
01:06:33 Do you trust me or don't you?
01:06:36 Well?
01:06:46 Go ahead, do it.
01:06:57 Careless with the sewing scissors,
01:07:00 Right through your beautiful kimono.
01:07:03 It won't leave a scar, will it?
01:07:05 Sayuri is a special girl
01:07:13 Yes.
01:07:14 With those eyes,
01:07:26 Clean cut.
01:07:28 Won't leave a mark, I promise.
01:07:31 But I had best prescribe
01:07:50 Your honorable sister says,
01:07:55 She says, "Follow me,"
01:07:59 My life had turned into a game...
01:08:01 ...and only she knew the rules.
01:08:05 Ekubo. At the right moment,
01:08:13 He will know what it means.
01:08:20 - You have kept us waiting.
01:08:26 The Chairman thinks I should
01:08:29 Music and the theatre.
01:08:31 What is your impression?
01:08:35 It is useless
01:08:39 One could not wish Nobu-san
01:08:43 I could not agree more.
01:08:45 I owe this man everything.
01:08:47 He gives me too much credit,
01:08:50 Probably.
01:09:00 It is a trinket.
01:09:02 I found it a few days ago.
01:09:06 Nobu-san. I had no idea
01:09:10 Call it my new leaf.
01:09:15 My mother...
01:09:17 My mother, she used to wear
01:09:23 You do not like it?
01:09:29 Forgive me. I've never received
01:09:36 What a beautiful comb.
01:09:40 Such a joyous moment, Sayuri.
01:09:43 You are finally getting
01:09:47 How lovely.
01:09:50 And now, will you excuse us,
01:09:53 We have another engagement.
01:09:56 Many, in fact.
01:09:59 Pumpkin.
01:10:15 You are most kind.
01:10:28 Now, give this one to Dr. Crab.
01:10:31 - Mameha, please.
01:10:33 I want to trust you, I do. But you
01:10:37 I am ensuring your future.
01:10:38 But tell me how. I beg you.
01:10:41 I'm trying to orchestrate
01:10:43 - What for?
01:10:46 - And what is that?
01:10:50 Did Mother ever tell you
01:10:54 Well, every once in a while...
01:10:56 ...a man's eel likes to visit
01:11:00 - Yes, I know.
01:11:02 I live with Hatsumomo.
01:11:06 Your cave is untouched.
01:11:09 We call this mizuage.
01:11:10 And to become a full geisha,
01:11:14 Did you sell yours?
01:11:16 The largest sum ever paid.
01:11:19 I freed myself from debt.
01:11:21 And so will you.
01:11:24 When you slip the rice cake
01:11:26 ...it is a sign that says
01:11:32 The doctor has no desire
01:11:36 Or any night.
01:11:43 Pumpkin. Hatsumomo
01:11:47 I have to go, Chiyo-chan.
01:11:48 - Didn't she?
01:11:51 Of course you know.
01:11:54 You expect me to betray
01:11:55 Has she made you cruel as well?
01:11:57 - No.
01:12:03 But...
01:12:05 The truth.
01:12:12 Tonight we went to the teahouse
01:12:15 I sat outside, but I could still hear
01:12:18 And Hatsumomo then said to him:
01:12:19 "I live in the same okiya as Sayuri.
01:12:21 Did you know that she brings men
01:12:24 "No," he said.
01:12:26 "Common sailors
01:12:28 The doctor looked queasy,
01:12:31 But she kept going.
01:12:33 And Hatsumomo said to him,
01:12:35 Have I told you more
01:12:39 I'm so sorry.
01:12:43 ...but how could I,
01:12:47 Am I really like her? Am I?
01:12:51 Of course not.
01:12:54 Is Mameha-san cruel to you too?
01:12:57 No. She's so kind to me.
01:13:01 But sometimes I worry she's taking me
01:13:07 That man Nobu.
01:13:11 Do you really like him?
01:13:13 - No.
01:13:17 Do you like somebody else?
01:13:29 Don't worry about me,
01:13:33 Better than fine.
01:13:34 Mother plans to adopt me...
01:13:36 ...so my dream of having someplace
01:13:41 I have to go.
01:13:51 We could still win, Sayuri.
01:13:53 How? Hatsumomo has poisoned
01:13:57 Forget about him. There are plenty
01:14:00 - The Chairman has been kind...
01:14:03 Nobu and the Chairman
01:14:05 They would never bid
01:14:08 It is time we cast a wider net.
01:14:11 Suppose there was a night in Miyako,
01:14:16 - ... eager to bid for you.
01:14:18 Where you are the object
01:14:21 The most famous geisha
01:14:24 - But I'm not.
01:14:36 Who is responsible for this?
01:14:39 Ask Mameha.
01:14:41 I'm asking you, Okasan.
01:14:43 How come Sayuri
01:14:45 It's your own fault.
01:14:52 What did Mameha do?
01:14:56 Speak to the director in private?
01:15:00 Not every geisha
01:15:07 I'm looking forward
01:15:11 You know how I adore
01:15:48 They've all come.
01:15:49 The Baron, Nobu-san...
01:15:52 ...our beloved Hatsumomo
01:15:56 Anybody else?
01:15:58 And even your old friend, Dr. Crab.
01:16:14 What if I dance poorly?
01:16:16 What if I disgrace myself
01:16:21 You will be glorious.
01:16:36 Now it's time.
01:19:44 Sayuri, you remember the doctor.
01:19:46 I hope my performance
01:19:48 Oh, you dance
01:19:52 I most humbly thank you.
01:19:54 It seems you've once again
01:19:57 And I am most grateful.
01:19:59 - If you have heard any gossip...
01:20:02 ...then I hope you will follow
01:20:05 And what would that be, pray tell?
01:20:10 Seek a second opinion.
01:20:21 Chairman.
01:20:23 Sayuri gave such a passionate
01:20:26 Indeed.
01:20:28 Mameha, did you invite the Chairman
01:20:32 It's my annual blossom-viewing party.
01:20:34 Baron, I told you I can't go.
01:20:38 Taking care of a little nuisance?
01:20:40 Or was that a naughty secret?
01:20:43 Baron, wouldn't Sayuri
01:20:46 ...among the flowers
01:20:49 Yes, very pretty.
01:20:53 With a chaperone, of course.
01:20:55 I'm certain Mr. Bekku will oblige.
01:20:59 That's a fine idea, Baron.
01:21:03 Mameha, I expect her there.
01:21:06 Nobu. Coming Saturday?
01:21:09 All that way to see a cherry tree?
01:21:14 Wonderful tonight.
01:21:21 If you would rather not go...
01:21:24 I'd like to go very much.
01:21:27 Then be on your guard,
01:21:30 There is a reason Hatsumomo
01:21:33 Trust me, I know my Baron, Sayuri.
01:21:36 He has a weakness
01:21:39 And now you are the most
01:21:45 The most desired as well.
01:22:23 Pardon. Pardon me.
01:22:27 Today, even the cherry blossoms
01:22:39 There's something I've been wanting
01:22:44 I'd like to...
01:22:48 To thank you for your attention
01:22:51 Nobu can be a difficult man.
01:22:54 Hates parties, sake
01:22:57 And he disdains geisha.
01:23:00 But he...
01:23:02 He's fond of you.
01:23:05 Because you admire him,
01:23:10 He will never tell you himself.
01:23:15 We were fighting
01:23:17 There was an explosion.
01:23:19 He protected me
01:23:22 As you might imagine,
01:23:27 Nobu has taught me a great deal.
01:23:29 Patience, for one thing.
01:23:31 I, in turn, have tried to teach him...
01:23:34 ...you have to savor life
01:23:36 The lesson of the cherry blossom.
01:23:39 That is why Nobu likes you.
01:23:42 We must not expect
01:23:44 It is not something we deserve.
01:23:47 When life goes well,
01:23:50 It cannot last forever.
01:23:59 Sayuri.
01:24:02 There you are.
01:24:11 Mameha asked me to show you
01:24:15 It's quite venerated.
01:24:17 My grandfather and father
01:24:22 I've given a number
01:24:26 I like to give present
01:24:32 It's for you.
01:24:37 Come. Have a closer look.
01:24:45 Isn't it lovely?
01:24:50 Try it on.
01:24:54 The Baron is too kind.
01:24:57 I will happily try it on with Mameha
01:25:01 Who knows when that will be?
01:25:03 Put it on now. Don't be shy.
01:25:12 Don't worry.
01:25:13 I am experienced in knotting obis.
01:25:19 Please. Mr. Bekku is waiting.
01:25:22 Bekku is waiting for no one.
01:25:27 Please!
01:25:31 Stop!
01:25:39 Please!
01:25:41 Stop now!
01:26:05 Sayuri...
01:26:08 ...I only want to have a look.
01:26:11 No harm in that.
01:26:13 Any man would do the same.
01:27:25 I heard a message on the wind.
01:27:27 So careless.
01:27:29 - You have ruined all our plans.
01:27:32 Please, Sayuri, do not insult me.
01:27:36 He gave me a kimono.
01:27:38 - You sold yourself for a kimono.
01:27:41 Today is the day I accept bids
01:27:44 What kind of price
01:27:46 ...with a finger pointed at your back?
01:27:48 He looked at me,
01:27:50 You will be examined
01:27:53 If you are found to be worthless...
01:27:54 I am not worthless!
01:27:59 I am not worthless.
01:28:14 How much longer is this bidding
01:28:18 Besides, who wants a plum when
01:28:40 What is it?
01:28:42 Twenty yen? Thirty?
01:28:44 This can't be the right amount.
01:28:47 I trust you agree.
01:28:52 Sayuri's made history.
01:28:54 No mizuage has ever been sold
01:28:59 Fifteen thousand yen.
01:29:01 Unbelievable.
01:29:06 Of course, none of it will go
01:29:09 Or to you, Mameha.
01:29:14 All 15,000 yen to this estate.
01:29:18 I do not understand.
01:29:20 That Sayuri will inherit
01:29:25 - What?
01:29:28 I'm entitled to do as I choose.
01:29:31 But you promised
01:29:35 Look at her. Still a virgin maiko.
01:29:41 - Pumpkin!
01:29:43 Quiet, Sayuri. I'm no fool.
01:29:47 Pumpkin would only be
01:29:51 How long will it take before
01:29:55 I have given you my life.
01:29:58 Yes.
01:29:59 Your impudence.
01:30:01 Your foul temper.
01:30:06 Who paid for the silk on your back?
01:30:11 The tobacco in that pipe of yours?
01:30:13 Don't exaggerate!
01:30:18 - Don't say it. Don't say...
01:30:22 - Stop it.
01:30:25 - ... at all hours of the night.
01:30:27 Not like a geisha.
01:30:30 Like a common prostitute.
01:30:33 Enough!
01:30:35 Besides, you are getting old.
01:30:40 But Sayuri?
01:30:42 Sayuri is destined
01:31:02 My dear Okasan.
01:31:08 We will see...
01:31:11 ...won't we?
01:31:17 Sayuri, your room is too small.
01:31:20 Take Hatsumomo's.
01:31:25 From now on,
01:31:30 May I congratulate you both.
01:31:33 You too.
01:31:43 Everything we wanted,
01:31:50 May I ask who?
01:31:52 Dr. Crab.
01:31:55 Was Nobu disappointed?
01:31:57 Nobu did not bid.
01:32:03 Dr. Crab was opposed by the Baron.
01:32:06 My Baron.
01:32:08 Do you want to know
01:32:11 He was the highest bidder.
01:32:13 Forgive me.
01:32:17 I think you understand why.
01:32:19 I swear to you, I am innocent.
01:32:22 Of course you are.
01:32:24 No man would ever bid so much
01:32:29 It was my own fault.
01:32:39 Celebrate this moment, Sayuri.
01:32:42 Tonight, the lights in the hanamachi
01:34:22 My daughter.
01:34:33 You are full geisha now.
01:34:59 What are you doing in my room?
01:35:05 I came to congratulate you.
01:35:10 Please get out.
01:35:14 Why, little Chiyo.
01:35:17 Look what I found.
01:35:20 His initials, how elegant.
01:35:23 You've been hiding your love
01:35:28 The sacrifice every geisha
01:35:30 Don't!
01:35:53 Isn't this where you keep it?
01:36:07 Give it back!
01:36:15 Give it back!
01:36:26 No!
01:36:27 Mother!
01:36:29 Pumpkin! Mother!
01:36:39 Kimono!
01:36:45 Kimono, Sayuri!
01:36:52 Kimono! Pumpkin!
01:37:52 I could be her.
01:37:54 Now I am geisha to this house.
01:38:01 I could be her.
01:38:03 Were we so different?
01:38:06 She loved once.
01:38:08 She hoped once.
01:38:11 I might be looking
01:38:15 Until the real future
01:39:29 Stop.
01:39:43 Oh, Korin. Have you seen Sayuri?
01:39:46 No. I don't know.
01:39:58 Chairman!
01:40:00 They are sending us away,
01:40:02 Osaka. But you must not go.
01:40:07 Get your things, quickly.
01:40:11 Nobu and I are trying
01:40:13 ...for as many of you
01:40:20 Here.
01:40:22 Work certificate. Nurse's aide.
01:40:24 Friend of mine is chief surgeon
01:40:27 What about Sayuri?
01:40:29 Don't worry.
01:40:36 Here you are. Here we go!
01:40:39 Sayuri.
01:40:42 Sayuri! Come.
01:40:44 This is Arima.
01:40:48 Nobu has got a friend there.
01:40:52 Anyone stops you, show them this.
01:40:57 - Do I have to go?
01:41:03 What about you?
01:41:06 Our factory is there.
01:41:15 Go!
01:41:17 I will express your gratitude
01:41:41 A year without news...
01:41:43 ...except news
01:41:50 Rumors of cities evaporating
01:41:56 Then another year...
01:41:58 ...and then another...
01:42:00 ...until the old life is a dream life.
01:42:05 Was I ever geisha?
01:42:08 Did I ever dance...
01:42:10 ...holding a fan?
01:42:12 Who would hold a fan now...
01:42:15 ...or paint their lips?
01:42:20 And then another year.
01:42:22 Nothing.
01:42:24 Rice.
01:42:26 Work.
01:42:27 Rice.
01:42:29 Work.
01:42:31 Nothing.
01:42:39 Sayuri!
01:42:44 Sayuri! A man from Osaka
01:43:11 Nobu-san.
01:43:20 General Tottori was captured
01:43:24 The Baron lost his fortune
01:43:29 What about the okiya?
01:43:31 Mr. Bekku is gone, but the others...
01:43:33 Auntie and Mother?
01:43:36 Indestructible, as always.
01:43:40 And the Chairman?
01:43:44 As well as can be expected.
01:43:49 This is all that remains
01:43:56 I'm so sorry, Nobu-san.
01:44:01 Sayuri...
01:44:06 We want to rebuild, but to do that
01:44:11 What can I do?
01:44:13 Somewhere, under those rags...
01:44:17 ...are you still the greatest geisha
01:44:24 If a tree has no leaves or branches,
01:44:30 With nothing but rubble at my feet,
01:44:45 I should have taken
01:44:47 Please, you saved my life.
01:44:51 I owe you so much in return.
01:44:57 The Chairman and I
01:45:00 There is a man,
01:45:03 ...who has the power
01:45:06 I showed him your picture.
01:45:10 He asked to meet you.
01:45:17 I am not a persuasive man, Sayuri.
01:45:20 But if you and a few geisha...
01:45:23 ...would once again put on
01:45:27 ...we could show the Americans
01:45:31 How I wish, Nobu-san.
01:45:36 But that was a long time ago.
01:45:38 I have no doubt, Sayuri...
01:45:41 ...that you could still melt the heart
01:45:45 No matter how resistant.
01:45:50 I am not accustomed to begging...
01:45:54 ...but please know
01:45:59 ...the Chairman and I would be
01:46:08 One dollar. One dollar.
01:46:09 - What?
01:46:37 The Chairman needed me.
01:46:40 But I was a far cry from the geisha
01:46:44 Hey, mama-san, let's step inside.
01:46:45 The secrets of our hidden world were
01:46:51 Any streetwalker with a painted face
01:46:54 ...could call herself a geisha.
01:47:00 I looked for the one person
01:47:03 Mameha.
01:47:05 The war was written on her face.
01:47:08 Everything about her, not just
01:47:14 Sayuri, when my poor Baron
01:47:18 ...I was desperate.
01:47:20 What could I do?
01:47:22 I sold my kimono,
01:47:27 It was painful at first,
01:47:31 Now, I make a small but tidy living
01:47:35 I am not about to go
01:47:38 It might do you good.
01:47:41 - How?
01:47:44 ...with a single glance, you could bring
01:47:57 Well...
01:47:59 ...I did keep one kimono.
01:48:11 The Baron gave it to me
01:48:21 Thank you, Onei-san.
01:48:28 So tell me. What do we know
01:48:49 - Was she worth it?
01:48:51 - Come on.
01:49:09 Chiyo-chan! Is that you?
01:49:23 I have no right to ask favors of you,
01:49:27 Guess what. I only smoke
01:49:30 I have wanted to apologize to you
01:49:34 These soldiers, you know
01:49:36 - It should have gone to you.
01:49:39 If it is in your heart to forgive me...
01:49:42 Sayuri, don't.
01:49:47 The honest truth?
01:49:50 I'd rather chew sand
01:49:54 Then you are not angry with me?
01:50:00 Don't worry about me, chickadee.
01:50:03 I've got more clients
01:50:08 You seem so at home
01:50:12 They're bastards.
01:50:15 So who's this colonel?
01:50:20 He has the power to approve
01:50:23 ...for Nobu and the Chairman.
01:50:26 So is he willing to pay us
01:50:30 Cash?
01:50:33 Don't waste my time.
01:50:36 You think I'm a sucker?
01:50:37 I want 60 cases Lucky Strike...
01:50:40 ...or I'm taking my business
01:50:46 I had to become a geisha
01:50:50 Mother had reopened the okiya,
01:50:55 My charcoal had turned to dust.
01:50:59 And yet, it was my one chance
01:51:04 Would he notice
01:51:06 The threadbare silk?
01:51:08 See? You are yourself again.
01:51:12 The world had changed completely.
01:51:18 And would I finally find the strength
01:51:45 Just look at you, Sayuri.
01:51:50 I am so glad to see that
01:51:53 Accept my apologies
01:51:55 No.
01:51:57 There is nothing I can do
01:52:02 - I've wanted to tell you that...
01:52:09 May I present Colonel Derricks.
01:52:14 My God, you're more stunning
01:52:17 This is my associate,
01:52:19 It's an honor, ma'am.
01:52:20 Sayuri is one of the mysteries
01:52:24 A mystery that perhaps
01:52:27 - Would you mind? Can we? Colonel.
01:52:30 Okay, sure.
01:52:34 Good.
01:52:35 All right, hold it. Beautiful.
01:52:38 Hey, who likes whiskey?
01:52:40 Look at this. We got a live one, sir.
01:52:42 Chairman, please don't tell me
01:52:46 May I present Pumpkin.
01:52:50 - Hello!
01:52:53 One sec.
01:52:55 Okay! Gentlemen! Please.
01:52:58 - Oh, it's been a long time.
01:53:00 You haven't changed.
01:53:05 This is a... My!
01:53:11 It's huge! Like an elephant.
01:53:17 Please, have a seat. Buckle up.
01:53:21 I'm excited, but I'm scared.
01:53:23 You're not going anywhere! Okay?
01:53:51 Good for him, not so good for us.
01:53:54 May we join you, gentlemen?
01:53:56 - Yes, please.
01:53:59 Back home, a bath is nothing more
01:54:02 ...with a bar of lye soap, right?
01:54:04 But here, you make everything
01:54:06 That is the art of turning habit
01:54:10 Spoken like a true geisha.
01:54:12 If we are in business together, then
01:54:17 I'd like to see the United States.
01:54:19 I know a little game we can play.
01:54:21 It's called Truth and Lies.
01:54:25 I know this game.
01:54:30 No, I'm serious. Now, listen closely.
01:54:34 - Sayuri know the rules.
01:54:38 Each person says two things.
01:54:42 If you guess right,
01:54:47 So it pays to lose.
01:54:50 There you go.
01:54:52 Okay, I'll go first. Let's see.
01:54:55 One day in Sapporo,
01:54:59 ...a fisherman caught
01:55:02 The other story is the true one.
01:55:04 And I haven't even heard it yet.
01:55:06 - How would you know?
01:55:10 - If I drown, it's all your fault.
01:55:14 I'm no match for these geisha.
01:55:18 I'm an expert in one thing
01:55:22 Sake.
01:55:24 Sayuri, the truest story you know.
01:55:29 Once, when I was a little girl...
01:55:33 ...on the banks of the Sunagawa...
01:55:36 ...a handsome stranger
01:55:39 ...to buy me a cup of sweet ice...
01:55:41 I think we have to stop the game.
01:55:43 If Pumpkin drinks any more sake,
01:55:46 - That is a true story.
01:55:51 - I'm sorry.
01:55:56 So...
01:55:58 ...what is the protocol?
01:56:01 Excuse me?
01:56:02 Suppose I wanted to see you
01:56:05 I beg your pardon, colonel,
01:56:11 Don't be coy. I mean,
01:56:14 If there were a price,
01:56:22 I saw the two of you whispering.
01:56:23 You have arranged some kind
01:56:26 - What did you promise him?
01:56:29 He seemed to expect a great deal!
01:56:31 If I had wanted a common whore,
01:56:35 What are you trying to say?
01:56:36 Just the idea of you with him,
01:56:41 ...you'd be dead to me!
01:56:53 Can't you see that I want you
01:56:57 You have ruined me.
01:56:59 Before we met,
01:57:05 I should not have asked you
01:57:08 The Chairman was against it.
01:57:10 I should have listened to him.
01:57:23 I must beg your forgiveness,
01:57:26 I was foolish to think
01:57:30 Then you made no arrangement
01:57:32 Please don't insult me again.
01:57:37 If he ratifies our contract...
01:57:40 ...then I will be
01:57:42 There is nothing
01:57:47 ...than to become your danna.
01:57:53 I already owe you far too much.
01:57:55 - I will not be refused.
01:57:57 We are tied to each other.
01:58:01 I never meant to mislead you.
01:58:06 Sayuri...
01:58:09 I do not like things
01:58:14 ...that I cannot have.
01:58:18 When you first introduced me
01:58:21 ...I was such a fool to give him
01:58:23 - You cannot refuse him. You must not.
01:58:26 What is he to think?
01:58:29 - So he owns it?
01:58:31 I know what it is like to try
01:58:34 I will do something, anything else.
01:58:36 Renting rooms?
01:58:39 Is this the life that you want?
01:58:41 I want a life that is mine!
01:58:44 Nobu has never treated you
01:58:47 - I don't want mere kindness.
01:58:50 What more can we expect,
01:58:55 You had feelings for the Baron,
01:58:59 I never allowed myself that.
01:59:02 Don't lie to me.
01:59:04 In time, you learn.
01:59:06 - I don't want to learn!
01:59:10 We don't become geisha
01:59:13 We become geisha
01:59:35 Pumpkin.
01:59:36 What is it? What's wrong?
01:59:38 Nothing. I have a favor to ask,
01:59:41 Ask.
01:59:43 At 9:00, bring Nobu to the pool
01:59:47 Not a minute before,
01:59:52 And, please, do not tell Nobu
01:59:56 It's a surprise?
01:59:58 Yes, it's a surprise.
02:00:38 Whoa, in here?
02:00:41 What..? No, no, no. Hang on.
02:00:57 I think we have done it.
02:00:59 Let's make sure he signs.
02:01:10 Wait!
02:01:12 Are we doing this or not?
02:01:15 Yes?
02:01:46 Chairman.
02:01:49 Chairman!
02:01:58 How could you?
02:02:00 You don't know
02:02:03 But I do.
02:02:06 I do not understand.
02:02:09 Why did you have to bring
02:02:12 Because I know how you feel
02:02:16 A long time ago,
02:02:21 The only thing I'd ever truly wanted.
02:02:26 Well...
02:02:29 ...now you know how it feels.
02:04:01 The heart dies a slow death.
02:04:06 Shedding each hope like leaves.
02:04:10 Until one day there are none.
02:04:13 No hopes.
02:04:15 Nothing remains.
02:04:20 She paints her face
02:04:24 Her eyes are deep water.
02:04:28 It is not for geisha to want.
02:04:32 It is not for geisha to feel.
02:04:37 Geisha is an artist
02:04:42 She dances.
02:04:44 She sings.
02:04:46 She entertains you.
02:04:49 Whatever you want.
02:04:52 The rest is shadows.
02:04:55 The rest is secret.
02:05:06 Sayuri, quickly.
02:05:11 You are to meet
02:05:15 Who?
02:05:16 It must be Nobu. Yes.
02:05:22 He is going to be
02:05:27 He wants to honor his promise:
02:05:31 To become your danna at last.
02:05:37 Give me.
02:05:39 It's about time.
02:05:42 Finally, a return on my investment.
02:05:47 Keiko, maybe one day
02:05:54 No geisha can ever hope for more.
02:05:58 Let me see it.
02:07:09 Chairman.
02:07:11 Where is Nobu-san?
02:07:13 He won't be coming.
02:07:15 Is something wrong?
02:07:16 He knows what happened.
02:07:23 Chairman, what happened
02:07:26 Please, you do not have to explain.
02:07:30 But I have shamed myself so deeply,
02:07:35 No. I'm the one
02:07:42 I do not understand.
02:07:46 Perhaps...
02:07:48 ...if you had only known the truth...
02:07:52 The truth?
02:07:57 Some years ago...
02:08:00 ...I was on my way to the theatre.
02:08:02 I saw a little girl weeping
02:08:06 I stopped to buy her
02:08:10 You knew I was that little girl?
02:08:13 Didn't you ever wonder why
02:08:19 Mameha came to me
02:08:30 I wish you could have told me
02:08:33 What could I do?
02:08:35 I owe Nobu my life.
02:08:38 And so...
02:08:40 ...when I saw he had a chance
02:08:45 But...
02:08:49 But I cannot any longer.
02:08:53 I hope...
02:08:56 ...it is not too late.
02:09:02 Don't be afraid to look at me, Chiyo.
02:09:19 Can't you see?
02:09:22 Every step I have taken...
02:09:26 ...since I was that child
02:09:30 ...has been to bring myself
02:10:36 You cannot say to the sun,
02:10:40 Or to the rain, "Less rain. "
02:10:43 To a man, geisha can
02:10:48 We are the wives of nightfall.
02:10:51 And yet, to learn of kindness...
02:10:54 ...after so much unkindness...
02:10:58 ...to understand that a little girl
02:11:03 ...would find her prayers
02:11:07 ...can that not be called happiness?
02:11:11 After all...
02:11:12 ...these are not the memoirs
02:11:19 These are memoirs
