Your character is strong, assertive.

You always get what you want...

...no matter if it takes a long struggle.

An important deal will end successfully

thanks to your perseverance.

A major monetary gain will result.

But don't be blind! There is a man loving you madly

and secretly suffering for you, in the shadow.

Who is this man? What's his name?

Just the first letter!

Not yet. It is hard to read.

Perhaps you'll need to come here once again.

Happiness can be just around the corner,

but you still have to grab it.

Defeat the adverse forces. Have confidence.

Please let me meet him. Help me fly away with him!

one, two, three... one, two, three.

The queen of spades is being held prisoner in the tower.

The Emperor watches her...

She can't meet the Jack of Swords.

Who the hell is the Emperor?

He's the man who holds the power. Money.

Then the queen of spades could be my wife!

And what about the jack of swords?

I didn't get that. Ours is a big family, we've two sons

and two daughters too, the last just a few months old.

Then there is grandma and my brother-in-law,

with a grown up son.

We own three household appliance stores

and we are in need of all working hands.

We enlarged our house and I care for everybody's needs.

I'm the man in charge.

But I can't watch everybody!

The last thing I'd wish would be something secret going on

in my own home, something hidden from me.

Mine has always been an honorable family.

Can't you be more explicit about this issue?

About my wife...

about her last-born son.

The cup, please.

How many people...

At the end of such a day I'm tired, yet happy.

- Here, have some more.

- Please no, I'm full.

Eat- Some more meat will be good for you!

Come on, have some more. You're such a paleface, my son!

You really gave that poor man the shits today

when you appeared with his coffee!

Even I was scared!

Careful, dont be so stealthy. Make some noise before appearing.

You frighten them way too much!

I came when you called me.

I have my own ways to call for help when I need it, right?

He was asking for too many details.

Some family entanglements I knew nothing about...

...lucky that you came at the right time!

It's easier with coffee.

He wanted to know everything about each card...

...but he's a good customer.

To think he owns three appliance stores!

With all the troubles he's into

he's going to return here pretty often.

He's such a drag...

Anyway, one's got to respect rich people.

Some of them pay without a second thought,

no matter the price.

They ask for nothing in particular;

Just to hear someone talk about them.

It makes them look pretty vacant.

How badly some of them get frightened...
