Chapter 98

Mr. Okamoto: "Very interesting."

Mr. Chiba: "What a story."

[translation]"He thinks we're fools.[/translation] Mr. Patel, we'll take a little break and then we'll come back, yes?"

"That's fine. I'd like another cookie."

"Yes, of course."

Mr. Chiba: [translation]"He's already had plenty and most he hasn't even eaten. They're right there beneath his bedsheet."

"Just give him another one. We have to humour him.[/translation] We'll be back in a few minutes."
