                      (half-whispers)
                In SF, why didn't the vampire
                bite the tiger that night?
                           MOMO
                      (half-whispers)
                Cuz if he did, he couldn't stop.
                           JAMES
                      (half-whispers)
                Is it wrong to feel right?
                     MOMO'S MOTHER
                You won't grow without letting
                go.
                      MIMI'S MOTHER
                      (shakes her head)
                Aiya...

                Zero-COVID, zero profit...
                            SARA
                    (whispers in her ear)
                Your boyfriend's hot...
                            JASON
                        (in Mandarin)
                I doubt it'll work, sis.
                            MIMI
                        (in Mandarin)
                I'd rather fail than doubt.
                Doubt shatters more dreams
                than failure.
                        JAMES (TEXT)
                MIMI, wanna go to SF?
                           MOMO
                Who's JP?
The car drives around DOWNTOWN.
                           JAMES
                Welcome to the shithole city!
                            MIMI
                        (in Mandarin)
                Ma, please send my ping-pong
                bag here.
                           JAMES
                         (whispers)
                Uh, kimochi...
                            SARA
                      (half-whispers)
                Kimchi?
                            MIMI
                In the garage, why didn't he
                get to her? Didn't he find her
                attractive?
                           MOMO
                She's irresistible. If he did,
                he couldn't let her go.
                           JAMES
                It's sudden death. Whoever
                gets the point wins the match.
                Everything.
                      JAMES' MOTHER
                Death is not a wall, it's a door.

                families like no other sport.
                           JAMES
                      (clinches his fist)
                MIMI, man up!
                            SARA
                        (elbows him)
                MIMI, woman up!
                           JAMES
                    (whispers in her ear)
                When you're angry, count four.
                When very angry, swear!
                            MIMI
                     (raises her paddle)
                Bring it on, motherfuckers!
                           MOMO
                Never apologize for speaking
                the truth.
