Is it you?

What is the matter?

I can't, I'm busy.

No, as I told you,

I don't have time.

Your sister is worried.

She wanted to show up to see you.

Sorry, are you there?

So?

Do you hear me?

I told you, I can't.

I will call you tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Why do you

think I'm calling you now?

I have been calling you

all evening.

What do you want?

A small translation.

It's barely five lines.

I can't tonight.

Tomorrow, if you want.

Five lines.

I'm not asking for much.

It's not possible tonight.

What are you up to tonight?

You sound weird.

Nothing special.

I simply have to work.

If it's urgent,

I could call Kobayashi.

Why call him for something

that you could also do?

I could also call him.

I want you to translate it.

Okay, fine.

Tell me then.

I will write it down.

Will you do it tonight,

or later?

I already told you

that I can't tonight.

I will do it tomorrow morning.

It's just five sentences.

What is the big deal?

Tell me, I'm listening.

I will start, are you writing?

"My respectable son...

What else?

You broke my train of thought.

What are you talking about?

You must have something written.

Read it to me.

"My respectable son...

"Sekigutsi Masahiro states"...

It's a permanent job

to be a parent.

Something you will also know.

Forget the comments and read.

I will give you the basic idea

and you write the words.

"The exposition

from my respected son...

"with support from

the cultural organisation Tanaka...

"will open to the public

on 18 December".

I have things to do.

Hurry up.

You wrote it all down?

About the rest

I'm not sure.

Make it sound nice.

Good evening.

What did you tell me before?

You can hang your coat

if you want.

Thank you, but I'm a bit cold.

I've been waiting for you

for some time.

Seat down.

You have a nice house.

Thank you.

Do you like this painting?

Isn't it beautiful?

It was given to me

as a gift.

My uncle gave it to me

went in my 14th birthday.

He told me that

he had painted my portrait.

When I arrived in Tokyo

two years ago...

I went to the University Museum

and I saw it.

Then I understood

that he was joking.

It is a very famous painting.

Really?

It's from 1900.

From 111 years ago.

Long before I was born.

It's a smart parrot.

Called

"Educating a parrot".

Seriously? Strange title.

The girl is teaching

the parrot to speak.

My grandma used to tell me...

That the parrot seemed

to be teaching the girl.

Why not?

That's how I saw it.

Before this painting...

all our paintings

were adopting a western style.

This was the first painting

with pure Japanese theme and style.

That's why it is special.

And therefore famous.

They used to tell me often
