1:03:01
What can we do?
We've got to outwit her,

1:03:05
to find a place somewhere beyond her reach,
where you can practice my skills without any interference.

1:03:09
Your first sumo match.
What?

1:03:11
Today you will meet (Chairman) Iwamura.
1:03:15
He is head of the Iwamura electric company in Osaka.
My client for years.

1:03:19
We will entertain him and his partner Nobu.
You may find Nobu quite a challenge.

1:03:25
He does not like Geisha.
1:03:38
Be attentive, I will do the rest.
1:03:43
Chairman Iwamura, President Nobu,
this is my new younger sister Sayuri.

1:04:00
Nobu-san? - Nobu-kashi-san
Injured in Manchuria, war hero.

1:04:04
Sayuri, is this your first sumo match?
1:04:07
Nobu-san will have to educate you,
I cannot tell one wrestler from the next.

1:04:11
That is the Chairman's diplomatic way
of saying he hates sumo.

1:04:23
Did you notice our contribution, we are harnessing the power
of water to bring electricity to some of the smaller villages.

1:04:28
It was in the newspaper wasn't it?
1:04:31
Ah, the Chairman's picture, yes,
you compensate for all my shortcomings don't you?

1:04:36
May I ask,
How does someone harness the power of water?

1:04:40
You should never ask an engineer to explain
a thing because he will!

1:04:46
Let the girl watch sumo.
1:04:57
Hatsumomo, that snake!
Quick, turn your attention to Nobu.
