Conversation with Dad


I watched this movie on Netflixe Instant Play, and they didnt have subtitles during the scene where the Chinaman speaks with his father. I was wondering if thats how it really is or did if I missed an entire scene. If so, what was said during that convo?

Thanks!

I think it was supposed to be like that. Later when they're on the beach, he's telling the girl his conversation with his father.

The Chinaman says:"I think you already know I've met a French woman, I acknowledge I'm always with her, I can't leave her; I truly love her."

"One year. Please dad, let me marry her for a year. After one year, then we can decide on what to do. Dad?"

Dad: "I can't agree to that. Ten years ago, I already arranged your marriage. I already (confirmed?...can't hear what he's saying) with the bride's family. No one can break the arrangement."

The Chinaman: "Dad?"

Dad: "It's alright"
