Lindo: This moment would decide for my whole life whether fear would rule or I would. I decided. Underneath I knew who I was. I promised myself never to forget.




Ying Ying: Losing him does not matter. It is you who will be found - and cherished.




Suyuan: Not expect anything! Never expect! Only hope! Only hoping best for you. That's not wrong, to hope.


June: No? Well, it hurts, because every time you hoped for something I couldn't deliver, it hurt. It hurt me, Mommy. And no matter what you hope for, I'll never be more than what I am. And you never see that, what I really am.



June: No speaking Chinese! How do I know you're not cheating?


Aunties: We are your aunties and we are very honest people.
