Dialogue Nadia Gates: [inspects painting] Oh! This looks Japanese. "Master and Concubines"? Walter Davis: It's Yakamoto! Nadia Gates: What is? Walter Davis: No, no, the reason for this big business dinner tonight is this Japanese industrialist new client of ours. He's old world Japanese and he's got a wife that's more like a slave and he keeps concubines! Nadia Gates: You gotta be kidding me. Walter Davis: No, no, his wife knows all about it. It's "traditional" or something. Nadia Gates: Tell me something, Walter: Are you into those kind of "traditions"? [chuckles] Walter Davis: No, I'm actually a one-concubine kind of guy.
