Third Uncle, we would like to go
into the courtyard and talk privately.
:54:06
Will you graciously grant permission?
:54:09
The night is cool.
I shall have tea waiting to warm you.
:54:28
Suyin, will you marry me?
:54:31
But you are not free...
:54:33
I'll get my freedom as soon as we return.
:54:37
I don't want to make you do
anything that will hurt others.
:54:41
You won't like that.
:54:44
And you won't like me.
:54:52
I want to know if you'll marry me.
:54:55
I will always do what you want me to do.
:54:58
Then is settled.
:55:01
It is settled.
:55:02
Yet I should like permission of my uncle.
:55:05
It would hurt him not to make this gesture.
:55:17
Sit here, Suyin. There, Mr Elliott.
:55:35
Third Uncle...
:55:36
I respectfully ask your permission
to become the wife of Mark Elliott.
:55:42
- Where would you live?
- In Hong Kong, with Mark.
:55:47
And will you now give up your vow
to medicine for devotion to Mr Elliott?
:55:52
I won't ask Suyin to give up
being a doctor to be my wife, sir.
:55:56
Suyin... you are a Chinese citizen.
