How It All Goes Down
- Mameha introduces Sayuri to Nobu and Chairman Iwamura.
- Sayuri is so flustered to again be in the presence of her beloved Chairman that she pours tea from an empty pot.
- Nobu is kind of a grump. He makes fun of geisha traditions and their beliefs in superstition.
- However he compliments Sayuri as being prettier than Mameha.
- When the sumo wrestling begins, Sayuri notices a surprise in the crowd: Hatsumomo.
- She infiltrated the exclusive event somehow and she's amused to see Sayuri with Nobu.
- Hatsumomo often makes fun of Nobu because of his injuries. Very classy.
- But Sayuri won't let Hatsumomo embarrass her. She turns on the charm for Nobu.
- They all watch an impressive sumo match, which gives Mameha an idea on how to handle Hatsumomo. (Feed her protein bars and make her big like a sumo wrestler?)
