SMASH!

MAN: And now the $64,000 question.

Why you and why human rights?

WOMAN:

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

It was a pleasure. You're a natural.

The process is...very delicate.

WOMAN: Speak to you later.

Marks for German Deutschmarks.

Yeah, sure.

And can I get 10 in coins, please?

MAN WHISPERS:

QUIET MURMURING

So, we have come together
to sign this contract,

which will ensure future
development collaboration

for our future.

INTERPRETER TRANSLATES

Mr Matsuhito,

I believe the negotiations
were completed successfully.

We have prepared all
the documents here

and they are already signed
by our chief lawyer, Barbro Nyqvist.

MR MATSUHITO SPEAKS JAPANESE

INTERPRETER: We respect memory
of your late director.

And we'll allow you time
for mourning.

It is our custom in Japan.

But, um...

May I propose a moment of silence

in the memory of
our esteemed Director Kairamo?

HE SPEAKS JAPANESE

INTERPRETER: Of course.

Mr Matsuhito, did you feel anything?

I felt as if our Chief Executive
Officer Kairamo

was here with us in this very room.

INTERPRETER: We brought
the spirit of Mr Kairamo here.

Please.

I thank you deeply
for your compassion

and for considering postponing this
matter to give us time to grieve

and for our company to recover.

Our Director Kairamo was
a man of honour.

The future of the company
meant everything to him.

He decided to move...

He decided to move on from here

in order for the company to prosper.

We who have been authorised
to deliver you

the documents Kari Kairamo and your
company's management have negotiated

together wish that we could take the
negotiations to their conclusion

in Kari Kairamo's memory.

HE SPEAKS JAPANESE

INTERPRETER: You speak
about your director

in a beautiful and dignified way.

This is personally very
important to me.

In Finland, we believe

that if we complete the work
a dead man has begun,

he will be able to reach
his destination in the afterlife.

I would like him
to reach that destination.

HE SPEAKS JAPANESE

INTERPRETER: Yes, we were
on our behalf

satisfied with the terms
of the contract.

He was a good man.

We want to honour your director

and help him

to reach his destination.

Thank you, Mr Matsuhito.
