I'm sorry.

That's all for today.

Give me a break, will you?

I can't interpret for you

and concentrate at the same time.

I'm sorry.

A curator who can't speak French is a joke.

I'm not interpreting any more.

You're on your own.

'French Grammar"

ls Ms Rinda from around here?

Riko?

She's from Hateruma Island.

In Okinawa?

Believe it or not,

her marks in school were awful.

They were?

Between you and me, she seems

to have been kind of stupid.

I can't believe that!

That's what she said.

Before she came to Tokyo...

Why don't you just go to Tokyo

and try to get a job?

Look at these marks!

I wonder what the problem is...

The teaching, maybe?

As your teacher...

...l've worked hard with you for three years.

You've taken more of my time

than any student I've ever had!

You like painting, don't you?

Yes!

I love that one painter...Kilimangelo?

'Michelangelo'.

Yes! Leonardo Michelangelo!

You're mixed up!

And Suzanne.

'Cezanne'!

'Cezanne? 'Suzanne?

Just one thing...

If you go to Tokyo,

keep out of the 'water trade'.

You mean don't sell water?

SO no convenience stores...

No! Sell all the bottled water you want.

The 'water trade' means...

An aquarium? Don't worry. I hate orcas, anyway.

She thought the sex trade

meant working in an aquarium.

She learned about appraising from working here?

The owner realized she had talent.

Do you know 'mnemonics'?

'Mnemonics'?

The owner taught her to use them.

You use feelings to help you remember things.

You associate images and remember

how you feel about them.

No?

No...

It's like you take a strong emotion

and use that to help you remember.

'A strong emotion'...

A certain smell might make you cry...

A smell makes you cry?

There. That's all for today.

Excuse me?

About what you were saying...

'Since nature has no contour lines...

'...he uses a blurring technique...

'...achieved through color gradations.'

ls that right'?

Exactly.

Not at all.

Feel free to ask questions.

'With her prodigious memory,

at the age of 20...

...she went into business for herself"

as 'All-round Appraiser Q'."

"Honing her logical skills,

she took on the errors of...'

Um...

Keep going.

Right!

'Letters found hidden in Mona Lisa's eye'?

'Da Vinci initials "L" and "V"

confirmed in pupil...

'...of Mona Lisa's right eye.'

'L' and 'V'?

Riko?

What is it?

'L' and 'V' in her eye?

Yes, so they say.

The details are here...

...in this article.

It's in French.

Can you read it?

Yes.

Experts examining the letters...

...experienced a loss of function...

...of the occipital lobe.

It's an important part of the brain...

...that processes vision and color.

The experts who saw those letters...
