Hwee Leng:
You will need a cup. [takes out two cups from kitchen cabinet] Red or blue?

Terry:
Red.

Hwee Leng:
[dismissively] Blue better. Plastic won't break.

Terry:
[to Jiale] Why you do that to me, huh? Why you do that to me? I don't care if you like me or not. You don't like, I don't care. But your mum, she employed me. I'm here to do my work properly. I am your maid, but I didn't come here to be bullied.

Maid Next Door:
[in Tagalog] Brought your rosary?

Terry:
[in Tagalog] Yes.

Maid Next Door:
[in Tagalog] Forget it. There is no room for God here.

Terry:
[to Jiale, in bathroom] What, you think I haven't seen before? I've seen bigger ones, okay?

Terry:
[pleasantly surprised, laughs] How come you so clever... you know how to come up here?

Jialer:
[cheekily] It's not I clever, it's you stupid. [looking over parapet, then in blithe insensitive manner] The news say the man jump down from here one. But the view so nice, no wonder so many people come here and jump.

Terry:
[pulls Jiale away from parapet and slaps him, then in emotional tone] You think killing yourself is so funny, huh?

Teck:
[after hurling Jiale's Tamagotchi out of car] Damn chicken.

Elder Brother:
[to Hwee Leng, in Hokkien, referring to Terry] Leng, you let her sit outside. We will order something for her to eat.

Teck:
[in Hokkien] But Siti is sitting inside.

Younger Sister:
[in Mandarin] My little daughter won't eat without my maid Siti.

Elder Sister:
[in Hokkien] Leng, it doesn't matter. Let your maid sit outside.

Hwee Leng:
[to Terry] You sit outside. Follow her.

Teck:
[to Terry] Sorry, ah.

Hwee Leng:
[to Teck, in Mandarin] Why are you apologizing to her?

Jialer:
[praying behind tomb, to deceased Grandpa] Ah Gong, please. I've given you my pet chicken. Please let my teacher strike 4D lottery.
