  • Sorry I'm late, Mom!

  • You wouldn't BELIEVE the traffic.

  • Maybe I'll stop for a quick surf on the way.

  • Well, glad to see you're enjoying your life out here.

  • Heck yeah!

  • Who knew dropping out of college could be so fun?

  • That's all well and good, Jenny.

  • As long as you can support your lifestyle.

  • Ah!

  • What was that?

  • Uh, that machine was broken.

  • That makes sense.

  • So, have you been paying your rent to Uncle Kevin every month?

  • Uh, yeah.

  • Rent.

  • Uh, Jenny, this is a bunch of receipts.

  • Yeah, but I'm sure one of them is going to win big.

  • Oh, Jenny, I was never going to charge rent to my favorite niece.

  • Just don't tell your mom, okay?

  • Uh, rent is something one pays every month.

  • Huh?

  • Uh, rent is something one pays every month.

  • I'm proud of you, Jenny.

  • You know, when you said you wanted to stay in Taiwan,

  • I really had my doubts.

  • Oh, look!

  • I miss that smell.

  • Jenny, can you buy me one?

  • Sure, no problem.

  • Oh, why don't we get some for the whole family?

  • Ah!

  • Here, keep the change.

  • Jenny, I checked the deadline.

  • If you apply now, you can start law school in the fall.

  • Mom, I haven't even finished college yet, remember?

  • Yeah, sometimes I like to fool myself.

  • My favorite is picturing you driving up in a sports car to pick me up for lunch.

  • Gross! I would never drive a sports car.

  • It just screams too much money, not enough exercise.

  • Give this to the nurse up front.

  • Oh, Jenny, it's just that you're so smart.

  • You could have been so good at so many things.

  • What do you mean, could have?

  • Oh, it's only $1,200 NT without insurance.

  • Jenny, can you get this for me?

  • I assume since you've been supporting your lifestyle while paying rent, that you have at least a part-time job, right?

  • Yeah, job.

  • Aw, thank you, Granny.

  • I promise I won't spend it all on surfboards and beer.

  • Just don't tell your mom, okay?

  • Jobs are what people do in exchange for money.

  • Wow, Jenny, you've really come a long way.

  • Bang!

  • Bang!
