He's SHAKEN UP.
She turns. GLARES at him.
                            MOM
                What is going on between
                you two?
She looks him in the eye.
His eyes and face are strained.
                            MOM
                You've never been fond of women
                ever since elementary school. Now
                you've fallen for a native girl?!--
                            ZICO
                Mom... mom! You always say
                you're fine with Chinese people
                marrying native--
                            MOM
                But not with my son!
                            ZICO
                         (whispers)
                You are racist, mom!
                            MOM
                I married your dad!
                            ZICO
                Marrying dad won't make you not racist!
She goes ballistic.
STANDS UP.
                            MOM
                       (gets in his face)
                I'm not racist! I am rational!
