Sayuri Nitta:
[turns to see the Chairman standing in front of her]
Chairman, where is Nobu-san?
Chairman:
He won't be coming.
Sayuri Nitta:
Is something wrong?
Chairman:
He knows what happened. It is not in his nature to forgive.
Sayuri Nitta:
Chairman, what happened on the island...
Chairman:
Please, you don't have to explain.
Sayuri Nitta:
But I have shamed myself so deeply, past all forgiveness.
Chairman:
No! I'm the one who must be forgiven.
Sayuri Nitta:
I do not understand.
Chairman:
Perhaps... if you had only known the truth.
Sayuri Nitta:
The truth?
Chairman:
Some years ago, I was on my way to the theater. I saw a little girl weeping by the Sunagawa. I stopped to buy her a cup of sweet ice.
Sayuri Nitta:
You knew I was that little girl?
Chairman:
Didn't you ever wonder why Mameha took you under her wing?
Sayuri Nitta:
Mameha came to me because of you?... I wish you could have told me long ago.
[turns her back to him]
Chairman:
What could I do? I owe Nobu my life. And so when I saw that he had a chance at happiness with you, I stood silent, but... But I cannot any longer. I hope... it is not too late. Don't be afraid to look at me, Chiyo.
Sayuri Nitta:
[turns around to face him again]
Can't you see? Every step I have taken, since I was that child on the bridge, has been to bring myself closer to you.
[finally kiss and embrace, cries in his arms]
