What are you doing?! Stop moving like that!
[final lines of the film]
Sometimes, I miss how things were, but… nothing stays the same forever. We've all got an inner beast. We've all got a messy, loud, weird part of ourselves hidden away. And a lot of us never let it out. But I did. How 'bout you?
[first lines of the film] [She lifts a tray to her mom in a photo]
The number one rule in my family? Honor your parents. They're the supreme beings who gave you life who sweated and sacrificed so much to put a roof over your head, food on your plate, [Ming gives Mei a whole load off food] an epic amount of food. [Ming and Mei do the peace sign] The least you can do in return is [Ming and Mei holding a trophy] every single thing they ask. [In the spa with Mei and Ming] Of course some people are like, "Be careful". Honoring your parents sounds great, [Mei now grown up in her teen years lifts the tray to her mother Ming] but if you take it too far, well, you might forget to honor yourself. [the scene cuts to her in close-up; to the viewers] Luckily, I don't have that problem. [She leaps out of the picture frame and lands onto the sidewalk, carrying a case] I'm Meilin Lee. And ever since I turned 13, I've been doing my own thing, making my own moves; 24/7, 365! I wear what I want, [revealing her case] say what I want, and I will not hesitate to do a spontaneous cartwheel if I feel so moved! [She tries to do a cartwheel] Crap! [crashes and quickly collects her stuff; on the trolley] Not to brag, but being 13 means I'm officially a grown-up. [Showing her card to the driver] At least according to the Toronto Transit Commission.
[freaking out when she learns that 4*Town's concert and the red moon ritual are on the same night and realizes she can't be in two places at once]
I CAN'T MISS 4*TOWN! WE WORKED SO HARD! But...but the ritual. I'LL LET EVERYONE DOWN!
[from trailer]
My whole life, I've been perfect little Mei-Mei… but maybe I like this new me.
[furiously trying to rip the tapestry of Sun Yee into shreds]
YOU CURSED US! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!
[looks up and sees 4-Town logos projected by searchlights in the sky]
What is that?! (Ming: Um, I think it's coming from the SkyDome, Mother.) [scoffs in disgust] Four is the worst number.
[scolding herself after Ming confronted Devon about her private drawings and being publicly embarrassed]
You sicko! What were you thinking?! Why would you draw those things? THOSE HORRIBLE, AWFUL, SEXY THINGS?!
[scolding Miriam, Priya, and Abby]
I knew you were trouble. Putting all these thoughts into Mei-Mei's head, parading her around. Now she's lying, sneaking out. She attacked a defenceless boy! You think this is a joke? Do you know how dangerous this is?
[scolding to her reflection]
You are her pride and joy, so ACT LIKE IT! [slaps herself]
[thinking]
Don't look at the notebook, don't look at the notebook, don't! [glances down at her notebook] No!
