- Oh, no, no, no, darling.

You must never do that

to me again.

This is a hug.

Hug.

Did you like it?

It's most pleasant.

And the next thing is a kiss.

Oh, I know that.

No, no.

I don't mean that.

You funny little darling.

Don't you know what a kiss is?

Kiss?

Before kiss, I love you.

Now I know I will love you

for always.

Naughty Miss Massachusetts.

Bad Mister Connecticut.

Even if you very special present

from Mr. B.F. Pinkerton,

you know very well no one allowed

sit in that chair,

except him, my honorable husband,

the whole works.

They becoming very large.

It is the excellent American food.

It's more likely those four goldfish

that once inhabited this bowl.

Please not to speak

in such Japanese manner.

You must try to speak

my honorable husband type of English.

Okay. I go hoopy in big way

for everything.

You talk very sour, Suzuki.

My husband say American house

filled with laughter all the time.

You must laugh, Suzuki,

That's great improvement.

So many bells. I must count.

Must be very late.

Hurry, Suzuki, here he comes!

He very happy tonight.

He sing very loud.

He make big stride, so.

He must have very big present

for his wife, I think.

- Why you wait, Suzuki?

- I have nothing better to do.

Go!

Well, how's everything?

Everything okay.

- How are your everything?

- Couldn't be better.

That very strange lump,

Mr. B.F. Pinkerton,

Where you get it all of a sudden?

Oh, that, that... hm...

That's my shore leave.

- Shore leave?

- Certainly, Oh, yes, yes, yes...

If I don't have one of those I can't get

off the ship to see my Cho-Cho-San.

Then why I never notice it before?

Well, as a rule, I leave it down

at the dock in a pale of ice water.

What for this ice water?

Well, you see, a shore leave

is a very delicate animal.

It's sort of a cross between

an oyster and a shark.

And if he doesn't get his bucket

of ice water every day

he's apt to get annoyed

and bite holes in your pocket.

Oh, he sounds like very

destructive creature.

- May I see it please?

- Sure, go ahead.

Oh...

You make big joke with me like always.

So many beautiful presents

you always bring me.

Hello, Suzuki.

- You're looking fine.

- That is so.

What's all the noise for, Suzuki?

- She laugh.

- What at?

Just American custom.

Laugh at nothing.

Well, here's to looking at you.

- Down the hatch!

- Right!

Wonder where my pipe cleaners are.

Oh...

Oh, Suzuki use them to wire reverend

grandmother's hair for funeral party.

So sorry.

I have very bad house keeper.

All right, there's an extra pack

in the top drawer of my trunk.

May I get it?

Here we are.

I find them like this.

Oh, thank you very much,

Cho-Cho-San.
