I don’t want to force you.

It is not likely that your boss scolded you. You are a beautiful woman and being the harvest beauty queen you should not get scolding from your boss. Judith: Haro karaja nobosugan ku momonsoi.

Au nu po noilaan nung olundus id ginawo ku. Jimmy, be patient. Please do not be easily attracted to a woman like me. It is my facial beauty that causes you to fall in love with me. That is a dangerous move. You might not know that I would not be beautiful in the heart. Jimmy: Kada pongindorosi doho. Aiso pokiduaan id ginawo ku do tondu ko do olundus wuros om ginawo nogi.
Please do not try to scare me. I have no doubt that you are a beautiful woman, facially and in the heart as well.
Judith: Nung au kito popiontokon do Minamanung, kada kaus kumaa doho om kada oku nogi dika pokouso.
If God would not match us, please do not regret and please do not cause regret to me as well.
Jimmy: Judith, Judith, kada po ibok andado oku po haro po poboroson ku dika.
Judith, Judith, please do not go away yet wait for me I still have something to say to you.
