- Shi Fen: [having been called a poor student] What a joke! I got 398 on my last test.
- Shi Miao: So what! I got 538!
- Shi Fen: But I never studied. No matter the weather at school, I never did. I copied others the next morning.
- Shi Miao: [confused] Does that make you proud?
- Shi Fen: It DOES make me proud. You work so hard every day, revising "abundant" at 5 A.M. What have you achieved? You got 538 marks. It's only 140 more than me. You studied eight hours more than me. Times it by four for the whole term - that's one thousand hours! That means for every ten hours, you only get one extra mark! Who's the poor student?
- Cheng Hao-nan: When someone leaves my gang, it breaks my heart.
- Stocky Drummer: Hao-nan, who has left your gang?
- Cheng Hao-nan: No one has so far, so my heart is not broken yet.
- Shi Fen: [staring intently at Wan Sui] Look at him. His grandfather's gone, but he's not upset at all. He'd cry for half an hour when he can't open a bottle of Coke; his grandfather disappears and he doesn't even shed a single tear.
- Zhen Kai-xin: You don't look so sad either.
- Shi Fen: This isn't good. It's nearly the holidays. We must help him release his emotions.
- Zhen Kai-xin: Otherwise, it will affect the holiday mood.
- Shi Fen: Not only that - think about it - during the holidays, we won't be around. He might hang himself. Aren't you worried?
- Zhen Kai-xin: That sounds frightening.
- Shi Fen: Don't worry. I'm an expert at making people cry.
- Wan Xing: Anyway, as long as we pretend we don't care, Mom won't be concerned about him. He should be safe.
- Shi Miao: [voiceover] Time can be deceiving. Sometimes it's too long. Sometimes it's too short. A British scientist said learning to lie is an important stage in child development. We lie to others, saying "I'm fine." We lie to ourselves, thinking "I will be fine." Sometimes a lie doesn't need to be exposed. It needs to be understood.
