  • Okay, so you never finished your college degree, and what is a squirrel snowboard instructor?

  • Have you ever seen a squirrel snowboard?

  • No.

  • Me neither, but man, did I really want to.

  • Uh-huh.

  • And why do you want to work at our company?

  • Well, first off, I love electric bikes.

  • We make electric cars.

  • Even better!

  • Well, your resume says you're proficient in Mandarin, and that's actually all we need.

  • Because we're expanding into the local market, so we look to hire someone with Mandarin skills.

  • Speaking, reading, writing, I'm sure that's all included in proficience, right?

  • Uh, yes.

  • 中文很好。

  • Hmm?

  • Sounds good to me.

  • 哈囉,可以點餐了嗎?

  • 哎呀,不好意思,老闆娘,剛剛忙著忙著忘記看 menu 了。

  • 沒問題,要不要我幫您做介紹?

  • Oh, you know what?

  • Jenny, why don't you help us order?

  • 她的中文非常流利。

  • 你好嗎?

  • 我很好,所以你們選哪種類型的飲料?

  • 咖啡?

  • 咖啡的話,我們招牌是來自南美的單品咖啡,有淺焙、中焙、深焙。 -... 好。

  • 可能還是要請你形容一下自己喜歡的口味哦,越詳細越好。

  • Hey look, that old man needs help with this tray.

  • 謝謝你啊,年輕人。- 不客氣。

  • 你真可愛,可以請你幫我念一首唐詩嗎? 我孫女以前常念给我聽。

  • Oh hey, is that international basketball superstar, Dwight Howard?

  • Oh yeah, I just wanna order. Can someone help me translate?

  • Jenny, why don't you go help translate with your super proficient Mandarin?

  • Alright, here's the deal. If someone can help me order a coffee, I'll give you a million NT 'cause I'm rich and I love Taiwan.

  • Jenny, if you do this, you won't even need our job.

  • Oh, I think someone's phone is ringing.

  • 喂?

  • 林太太嗎?

  • 什麼?你們綁架了我女兒?

  • 好,快给我地址,Jenny 可以幫我寫下來嗎?

  • 好,不好意思,請你再說一遍。桃園市龍潭區...

  • Jenny, why aren't you writing?

  • Yeah, write down the characters, Jenny.

  • Stop!

  • All right, you want to know the truth?

  • My Chinese is horrible, okay?

  • I mean, who knew a language could be so hard?

  • I can barely count to ten, let alone read a menu or a poem.

  • And writing those characters by hand? Forget it.

  • I shouldn't have lied on my resume.

  • I'm sorry I failed everyone.

  • Well, Jenny, at least you're being honest now.

  • Yeah, don't worry, Jenny, we have an English menu too.

  • I just really wanted this job, but what I did was wrong.

  • You know what, Jenny? I like you, so I'm willing to give you a second chance.

  • Besides, you have other valuable skills like CPR.

Okay, so you never finished your college degree, and what is a squirrel snowboard instructor?
