Chapter 32 : The Fifth Spoonful of Sugar

Officer: And so by the time you reached the warehouse...
	The asian man and the arsonist had already fought...
	Seeing you, the asian man then fled the scene...
	Is that correct, Miss Anna Liebert?

Nina: Yes...

Officer: Well, this Neo-Nazi fellow has turned himself in, saying this was a "festival for the master race"...
	Your identity seems to check out, so we're done for today.

Nina: Then I can go home!

Officer: Yes...  Oh, some of the people in town called this asian man Dr. Tenma...
	Would you happen to know anything about him...?

 - Page 178 -

Nina: Not at all.

Officer: What do you think?

Other Man: About her?
	With that outfit, I'd say she's a local prostitute.

Officer: No.

Other Man: Huh?

Officer: About Dr. Tenma...
	At first all the people in the Turkish Quarter called this asian man Dr. Tenma...
	But when we told them he was wanted as a murder suspect...
	They all said they didn't know the man.

Rosso: I came to verify your identity.

Nina: Mr. Rosso!

Rosso: I'm glad you're safe, Anna!!
	I was so worried when you disappeared!!

 - Page 181 -

Rosso: Ah, you changed!!  Yes, I like that way better!  The other kind didn't suit you.
	You must be hungry.  Eat, eat up!

Nina: What about you, Mr. Rosso?

Rosso: I ate before I came...  I'll just have coffee!
	Come now, eat!

Nina: Thank you.
	Ahaha...

Rosso: What is it?

 - Page 182 -

Nina: You put in five spoonfuls of sugar, like usual.

Rosso: Of course.  Unsweetened coffee tastes like shit.
	You finally laughed.

Nina: Huh...?!

[Eckenhart, Bayern]

<<Rosso: You finally laughed.

<<Nina: Huh...?!

<<Rosso: You looked too gloomy to want to work for me.
	Is so much sugar that funny?!  Anna...

<<Nina: A...  Anna Liebert.
	Umm...

<<Rosso: Of course I'll take you!!  With a beautiful girl like you serving people, business will thrive!!
	However...

<<Nina: However...?

 - Page 183 -

<<Rosso: You should smile more!
	You're wasting your beauty.

<<Nina: T... thank you very much!!
	I'll work very hard!!

<<Rosso: Hahaha, it's not that tough!
	It's just a countryside Italian restaurant.  You'll find out how busy it gets.
	One vongole, one rigatoni!!

<<Nina: We've got a carbonara and a bariana, too!!

<<Rosso: Comin' right up!!

 - Page 184 -

<<Nina: Here you go.

<<Man: Rosso, you devil, where'd you pick up this sweet young thing?

<<Rosso: "Pick up"?  You better watch your mouth, sonny!

<<Man: Hey, Anna...  are you free tonight?  Let's go get a drink!

<<Nina: Uh...  um...

<<Rosso: I'll kick your worthless ass if you touch my serving girl.
	One fettucine, right here!!

<<Men: Listen to that old crybaby Rosso acting brave.
	I remember him crying when we watched a movie on TV at my house!!

<<Rosso: S...  shut up!!

<<Nina: Another ikasumi risotto!!

 - Page 185 -

Rosso: Aw...  they're playing "Summertime"...

Nina: Huh?

Rosso: They're playing "Summertime" at the Masterpiece Theater!!
	It must nice in Frankfurt with all those movie theaters...
	They were just playing it on TV.
	Ahhh, it made me teary.
	It's a good movie.  Wanna go see it?

Nina: Ah...
	Oh...  sure.

 - Page 186 -

<<Nina: I'm home.

<<Rosso: Oh, welcome back.

<<Nina: Um...  I'll do that for you.

<<Rosso: It's okay, I got it.

<<Nina: I'm sorry for always leaving every afternoon...

<<Rosso: Ah, it's okay.  It's not like anything happens anyway.
	I don't mean to pry...
	Where do you go everyday?

 - Page 187 -

<<Rosso: Ah...  don't worry.  What you do in your free time is none of my business.

<<Nina: Marksmanship training...

<<Rosso: Marksmanship...?

<<Nina: Yes, from a man named Wenkel...

<<Rosso: Oh, you're going to Wenkel's?
	Yeah, he's a good guy!!

<<Nina: Have you ever fired a gun, Mr. Rosso?

 - Page 188 -

<<Rosso: Guns are terrible.
	Just looking at 'em makes me tremble.

 - Page 189 -

<<Nina: Whew, how's this one?!

<<Rosso: Try it and see!
	What does it taste like?

<<Nina: Garlic, olive oil, parsley and...

<<Rosso: The taste of the other stuff you put in disappeared right?  Then it ain't real pasta.

<<Nina: Sigh, this is hard.

<<Rosso: Everything's training.

 - Page 190 -

<<Nina: You can use the bath now, Mr. Rosso!
	Good nigh...

<<Rosso: *sniff*
	They made the best movies when I was a boy...
	*sniff*

 - Page 191 -

Rosso: You know about me, don't you?

Nina: Huh?

Rosso: Well I did a little research on you when you left.
	Nina Fortner...  parents murdered, current location unknown...

 - Page 192 -

Rosso: Why did you want me?
	Do you have a job?  Or you want me to teach you?

Nina: I was going to have...
	You teach me...

Rosso: How did you find out about me?

Nina: There was a professor of law at my school that studied you.

 - Page 193 -

Nina: The "Ristorante Nino Murder", the "Sacco Milano Murder", the "Sabatini Bombing"...  you were an important reference at those three 
	cases that appeared to be the work of different men...
	Lack of evidence ended all of them with nonprosecution.
	But... that professor had an intriguing hypothesis.
	He said that you were...
	Without a doubt, a professional assassin.
	And...  a top class one, at that...

 - Page 194 -

Rosso: (sip)
	(tat)
	How many people do you think I've killed?
	I don't even remember, myself...

 - Page 195 -

Rosso: When I was kid, one day I woke up and realized I was a criminal.
	Theft, blackmail, I did it all.  I eventually became a assassin.
	The rewards enabled me to eat delicious food.
	I didn't question it at all.
	It was my job.
	I was lining up the sight as usual one day...  My victim was some guy, No. who knows what...
	In a cafe in the middle of the day...
	It was all as usual...

 - Page 196 -

Rosso: Then, the guy ordered a coffee.
	And he put sugar in it.
	One spoonful, two...
	Three, four...
	When he put the fifth spoonful of sugar in, the taste of the coffee I always drank flooded into my mouth.
	And this guy drank it like it was the best damn thing he ever tasted.
	That's when I put down the gun.

 - Page 197 -

Rosso: That was it...  that's what stopped me from killing people.
	Why didn't you ask me how to kill in the last 6 months?

Nina: I didn't...
	I didn't want to get you involved...

 - Page 198 -

[Frankfurt Center Station]

Rosso: You have to go?

Nina: Goodbye...

 - Page 199 -

Nina: Thank you, Mr. Rosso.

Rosso: Killing people is simple.
	All you have to do is forget the taste of sugar.
