How strange of you to be talking to a cat! Is that normal thing to do in your country? Grace? ?????Maya, say you’re not trying to steal Chris. Maya? I’m not trying to steal Chris. Grace? What makes her say such thing, and who is she? Maya? What makes you say such thing? And who are you? Deborah? My name is Deborah. Deborah Holtzman. I’m Jon’s ex-wife and Chris’s mother. Grace? ????????????…??????? Maya? I see. It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Holtzman. Deborah? Oh, don’t play games with me. I know what you’re up to. . . Grace? ???????????????? You haven’t even met Chris. Maya? I haven’t even met Chris. Grace? Ask her what makes her believe you’re trying to steal Chris. Maya? Mrs. Holtzman, what makes you believe I’m trying to steal Chris? Deborah? Don’t you try to fool me with that innocent look. I know everything. Jon’s trying to make you look like a decent girl with good manners and nice clothing. And you and Jon are trying to take Chris away from his fiancee who I introduced to Chris. He’s in love with his fiancee. Grace? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Maya? I have nothing to do with Chris. Deborah? Whatever you say, I don’t like Japanese women. And I don’t believe any of them. A long time ago, Jon was seeing a Japanese woman when he was serving in the Navy in Japan. With her innocent looks, she seduced Jon and then left him to marry another man. Grace ? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Maya? …?????????? Deborah? That’s right. It was Haruko. I suspect you’re related to Haruko. Because of Haruko, Jon never truly loved me. Because of Haruko, our marriage broke up. And now you! Grace? ?????????????????????????????????????…??????????????????????????? Maya? ??????????????????????????…? Grace? ???????????????????????????????????????? Maya, tell her that’s not true. And you’re not related to Haruko. Maya? That’s not true. And I’m not related to Haruko at all. I know about Haruko only because Jon-san told me about her…. Grace : Good going, Maya. ???????????????????????????? Holtzman? Ladies and gentlemen. Chris has just arrived!
