Is your dad home? [The door is opened wider to reveal him standing next to her] [In Chinese] Sir... My name is Dre Parker. My actions have brought dishonor to your family.

But, if you give me a second chance... ...I promise that I will be... ...the best friend your daughter has ever had. That's it.
