Dicky:
Good morning, sir.

Mr. Cao:
Dicky Chow! Just look at yourself. You're covered in dirt.

Dicky:
[stepping forward] I just...

Mr. Cao:
[stepping back] Don't move. And don't give me the usual routine. Why are you always so untidy?

Miss Yuen:
What's the matter, Mr. Cao?

Mr. Cao:
[to Dicky] Explain yourself!

Miss Yuen:
Let me talk to him. Where did the dirt come from, Dicky?

Dicky:
Well, on my way to school, I slipped and fell over.

Miss Yuen:
Don't your mom or dad bring you to school?

Dicky:
My mom died a long time ago, and my dad's very busy.

Miss Yuen:
What does you dad do?

Dicky:
He's a coolie.

Miss Yuen:
I'd like to meet him one day. Would that be possible?

Dicky:
I don't think he has the time.

Miss Yuen:
When he's available, then. Will you let me know? Go clean up before class starts.

Dicky:
Thanks Miss Yuen. [runs off]
