Suyuan: Not expect anything! Never expect! Only hope! Only hoping best for you. That's not wrong, to hope.
Jing-Mei 'June' Woo: No? Well, it hurts, because every time you hoped for something I couldn't deliver, it hurt. It hurt me, Mommy. And no matter what you hope for, I'll never be more than what I am. And you never see that, what I really am.
