A scene from Turning Red 2022
Tyler

You want your money? Then get your butt down here now!

Forget your money, and forget you!

Mei! Let's just go.

[growls in anger]
Tyler

What about our deal?!

SHOVE YOUR DEAL!

Tyler

Fine, get out of here! Go back to your psycho Mom and your creepy temple, you freak! [Panda Meilin growls furiously, having to have heard that, and jumps off the roof and attacks him] Oops!

Mei, no!

Take it back! Don't talk about my family like THAT!

[shocked]

Mei, you're hurting him!

[screams in frustration]

I HATE YOU!!!

[off-screen]

Mei-Mei, STOP! [showing up] What is going on here?!

Tyler
[Meilin looks at her mother, then to Tyler] [sobbing; sickness]

I'm sorry. Just get off of me, please.
[Panda Meilin looks at everyone gasping fearfully at her with a horrified expression of what she has done; Later… Tyler's parents scold Ming while Meilin remorsefully watches, along with her friends] Tyler's Mom: [weeping] I cannot believe you would let your daughter do this! This is a civil and a society. And we see this!
Tyler's Dad: Do you understand what she did to my boy? We have invited people to have good fun.

I am so sorry. She's never done anything like this before. I don't know what came over her. [in unison] I'm sorry again.
Tyler's Dad: No! No! I don't want to hear your apologies, okay?
Tyler's Mom: [looks at Meilin as they go back inside the house] She is an animal!
Tyler's Dad: [to everybody] Alright, party's over! Everyone, go home! [Meilin braces herself as Ming walks over to her for chastising, but passes her instead]

[to Miriam, Priya and Abby; sharply]

I can't believe you girls would use her like this.

What?

But we didn't.

No, we'd never.

Meilin

What?

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 defenseless boy! You think this is a joke? Do you know how dangerous this is?

We didn't mean to, we just wanted to see 4-Town.

4-Town! You manipulated her for a bunch of tacky delinquents?!

No! She wanted to…

Don't you blame her. She is a good girl, and you've taken advantage of her.

Mei, tell her! [Meilin looks up at her mother and she looks down to her, then buries her face in her chest, refusing to tell since she's torn between two worlds]

What?

[provoked]

Dude.

[stares coldly at the girls before turning to her daughter; starts to leave]

Come on, Mei-Mei. [holds out her hand] Let's go.
