INT. TABLE TENNIS CLUB - DAY

CHINESE CHARACTERS on the wall read:
"LITTLE TIGER"
TWELVE BLUE TABLES in three sections.
A WOMAN, age 33, pretty, walks to the center court.
Wearing a red table tennis shirt and blue pants.
Teenage boys and girls in ping-pong outfits run around the tables.
A LITTLE GIRL, age 3, trails behind.
BEAMING, she waves to the woman.

                                                LITTLE GIRL
                               Mama...!

She approaches the woman.
EMBRACES her legs.

                                                     WOMAN
                                               (in Mandarin)
                               Princess, go run with your friends.

The girl smiles. Shakes her head.
The woman gives her a smile.
CLENCHES her fist.

                                                    WOMAN
                                               (in Mandarin)
                               MIMI jiayou!

The girl smiles.
JOINS others.
