第5話: キートンのパリでの講義とスコット教授との再会

5

At the Simmons Adult Education Center in Paris, Keaton gives a special presentation about European civilizations originating in Egypt. The adult school president informs Keaton that the forty-year-old building will soon be demolished. Moreau, the Minister of Culture, plans to construct a retirement home in its place and preserve a mural. When Keaton returns to his apartment, he is shocked that his daughter Yuriko Hiraga has arrived. While they eat on the rooftop, Keaton expresses his desire to study archaeology, equating it with attics. The next day, Yuriko attends the second special presentation, in which Keaton reveals the possibility of European civilizations originating along the drainage basin of the Danube. The lecture is interrupted by Moreau, who is busy examining the mural. Keaton wants to come back to Japan in order to be near Yuriko and live out his dream as an archaeologist. In the past, Keaton failed his thesis, but Professor Yuri Scott gave Keaton a key to a study room during nighttime, allowing him to research more about the Danube. However, after Scott left the college, Keaton learned that the theory about the Danube came from Scott, who encouraged him to follow his dream. In the present, Keaton concludes with the last special presentation on the following day and even stops Moreau from interrupting. Keaton explains that Scott still lectured at the college during The Blitz. After the building is later demolished, Keaton attends a farewell party at night and reunites with Scott, who appraises his excellent work. (Source: Wikipedia)
