MIMI'S MOTHER
                        (in Mandarin)
                Where in the world does a mother
                let her child spend the night with
                a stranger?! Only in America?!
                            MIMI
                        (in Mandarin)
                Ma, we will have two separate
                rooms. I am a young adult now
                and he is not a stranger--
                      MIMI'S MOTHER
                       (in Mandarin)
                Are you crazy?! You just met
                last month--
                            MIMI
                        (in Mandarin)
                Ma, I may be spoiled but I am
                not like that.
                      MIMI'S MOTHER
                       (in Mandarin)
                I don't know what to say any-
                more.
                      (shakes her head)
                            MIMI
                       (half-whispers
                        in Mandarin)
                I trust his heart, ma. Like you
                trust papa's heart...
The mother falls silent.
Takes a long breather.
                      MIMI'S MOTHER
                        (in Mandarin)
                You take good care, okay. Don't
                forget to eat enough.
                            MIMI
                        (in Mandarin)
                I will, ma. So will he.
