[AUNT RUTH] Nikolas showed the king
that it's not about the presents.
1547

Although they are wonderful.
1548

It's about what's behind them.

[WHISPERING] Here's one.

I asked for something new.
1558

You've brought me something
we'd forgotten we already had.
1559

Thank you.
1560
01:31:49,708 --> 01:31:52,208

- [MIIKA] Cheers.

I've given you the idea.
I've shown you how it works.

Great. When can you start?

I hardly know you, but it seems to me
1567
01:32:11,916 --> 01:32:16,208
that if anyone deserves the infinite joy
of loving and being loved,
1568
01:32:16,291 --> 01:32:17,875
it's you, my young friend.
1569
