Kumiko and Daniel in “Unfinished Business”

[At Yukie's old house, Daniel and Kumiko browse through Mr Miyagi's old letters to Yukie but Daniel looks at one particular envelope]

What is it?

This was... this was written the week Mr Miyagi died.

Do you like me to read it?

[looks at her] Please.

[translates Japanese text] "One umoyagawa, my sweetheart Yukie. I'm sorry it has been a long time since my last letter. I'm so happy to hear that Kanhizakura is in good health."

Who is that?

Kanhizakura is Okinawan cherry blossom. [reads letter] "I am sorry to tell you that I am back in hospital. Please do not worry. There is nothing to do except watch TV and think. Think about family. Think about us. Think about where I have been and where I am going. In life, I have always looked for signs to show me the right way, but I got lost. Until I met Daniel-san. [Daniel reacts at mention] His kind heart, strong chi, and loyalty and love for those around him is a guiding light to me. I am very proud for the man he has become even though he still has a hard head. [Kumiko sighs but her face changes as the gravity of the words hit her too] I never thought I would have a family again. Daniel-san has welcomed me into his family, and he has passed on what I teach him in Miyagi-Do to his daughter. Samantha... makes me feel like I'm her tanme."

What's tanme?

Grandfather. [continues reading] "In life, we always lose our way, but it is people, not the signs, that guide us back to the right path. Do you like that, Yukie? I heard that in a car commercial. [Daniel and Kumiko laugh at the joke] Kanashii, love, Nariyoshi Miyagi."

[looks up after Kumiko puts the letter back in the envelope] Thank you Mr Miyagi. [to Kumiko] Thank you.

[presents him the letter] Arigato.
