Sophie and the Rising Sun Page #3

which is "surrender" in German.

These are believed to be

the Nazi battle plans

for the near east and Africa.

Sophie Willis is here.

To the north against Turkey, to

the south... Anne, what is it?

Those damn Nazis, they're...

they're slaughtering the Soviets.

Where the heavily

outnumbered British...

So sorry, Anne. I can't

believe it's happenin' again.

Oh, do sit down.

Would you like some tea?

- Do I have to sit?

- Well, no, you don't.

I think I have Autumn fever.

Autumn fever?

I never heard of that, but it

certainly agrees with you.

Oh, come see my garden.

It hadn't looked so beautiful

since Scott died.

Have you ever seen

hydrangeas looking more perfect?

Mm-mm.

Wherever he comes from, he was

raised with the best manners.

Anne, let's take in

the picture show in Brunswick

and then dinner

at the Belmont hotel.

I'm afraid I wouldn't be

very good company.

I'm just too preoccupied

with the war news.

Oh, dear Anne,

your mood hardly matters to me.

In their occupation of Nanking,

the Japs again outdid themselves

in barbarism.

The helpless populace was attacked by

the city walls and could not flee.

Japanese soldiers went berserk.

They raped and tortured.

They killed and butchered.

Again!

In one of the bloodiest

massacres of recorded history,

they murdered 40,000 men,

women, children.

No.

I've never been able to paint

the sky exactly as I like.

I avoid the sky when I paint.

It's impossible to capture.

I don't even know

your first name.

Grover.

Grover?

I am the first son

born in America.

So you have brothers

who were born in China?

Japan.

I was born in California.

Everyone thinks you're Chinese.

I don't mind.

Look! That clematis

you suggested arrived.

Here it is.

Very good.

Oh, I do hope it survives.

This is the one with the same

bloom time as this rose.

- Do we plant it next to the rose?

- A foot away.

It will attach itself to the

rose and climb to 20 feet.

The purple of the clematis

and this pink will be beautiful.

Sounds gorgeous.

Oh, my goodness!

Scott would love it!

Anne, you and Mr. Ohta make me

wish I had a garden of my own.

Well, you should have a garden.

Well, I can paint

just about any flower,

but I don't know a thing

about how to make them grow.

Well, we can't do anything till

we get your yard cleaned up.

May I help?

With your permission, miss Anne.

Of course.

Grover, did you ever

want to marry?

Yes, of course.

Why didn't you?

My father planned it

with a cousin in Japan,

but she couldn't

come to America.

Are you still waitin'?

No.

I had a sweetheart. Henry.

He died in the great war.

I'm sorry.

Mama didn't like him.

Grover.
