"Mother have you s—" Ken said.
"Oh, Ken!" Katy said.
"What are these?" Ken said.
"Roses." Katy said.
"They're red." Ken said.
"Of course they're red." Katy said.
"But mom, I don't want red roses. I want white. Like a swan. Have you seen Hide?" Ken said.
"No." Katy said.
"Has anyone seen Hide? Would you feed this to a swan?" Katy said.
"I…" the servant said.
"Take it back. Get something light, something fresh. No no no no no, Tsukiyama, hold it." Ken said.
"What's wrong?" Tsukiyama said.
"Tonight the music must be played rubato, soft and graceful, like a swan." Ken said.
"A swan?" Tsukiyama said.
"Have you ever seen a swan, Tsukiyama?" Ken said.
"Of course I've seen a swan." Tsukiyama said.
"If you could play a swan, what would it sound like?" Ken said.
Tsukiyama Laughed.
"Soft and graceful, Tsukiyama. Where is Hide?" Ken asked.
"No one has seen him, Ken." Katy said.
"You're kidding! Who's gonna be my best man?" Ken said.
"Best…? You mean? You – oh – Ken! Oh!" Katy said.
"There you go, Tsukiyama, that's the stuff. Come on, mother." Ken said.
Katy Laughed. "Don't be so secretive, Ken, tell me who she is." Katy Squealed
Ken Laughed.
