Go out and wait for me.

Mrs Lim, I don't know if you know

how serious this matter is.

Are you driving me to my grave?

Aren't you ashamed?

Why are you dressed like that?

Teresa, I'm his mother, not you.

We, the citizens of Singapore.

Pledge ourselves as one united people.

Regardless of race, language, or religion.

To build a democratic society.

Based on justice and equality.

So as to achieve happiness, prosperity

and progress for our nation.

Discipline...

...is an integral part of our education.

...Is an integral part of our education.

Knowledge without discipline

is of no value to society.

Today, I want to take this opportunity...

...to warn all students...

...that fighting and all unorderly behavior...

...is not tolerated in our school.

Stand there.

Hands on the table.

Bear with it. The principal is watching.

Isn't it painful?

No.

Let's see if you still want to be naughty.

Come on.

Carry me.

- You're a big boy already.

- But my butt hurts.

Don't touch my breast, you dirty boy.

Your hair really has a smell.

Nonsense.

How old is he?

Almost 12 months.

You left the baby and

went away to work?

So why did your mother get a stranger

to look after her son?

Your mother.

Shut up.

Okay, wear your pants.

Sorry'

Don't let my colleagues see that.

Why have you come to pick me today?

I have something to discuss with you.

What is it?

I'm thinking of scrapping the car.

Can't you sell it?

Who would buy such an old car?

Look how you're coughing,

I've told you to stop.

How much you think our?at is worth?

Are you nuts?

You're thinking of selling at a time like this?

Where are you going?

I'll reverse.

Leng, aren't you coming for lunch?

You all go ahead, I have work to do.

Hello.

I signed up for a 10-day course.

I was told you would contact me.

Wrong number?

That can't be right. The number's

from your brochure.

Hello?

Hope is within yourself.

Shall we not kill the last chicken?

I think I want to keep it.

Then you better learn to take care of it.

Who's there?

Hope is within yourself.

Not sleeping yet?

What's with your leg?

I hurt it accidentally.

Only people that stupid would

fall for something like that.

That's how stupid I am.

Are you okay?

I lost my sales job.

I've been waiting for you to tell me.

Are you on day or night shift tomorrow?

You need to wash your uniform?

Nope.

I quit.

Can you do it?

I'm always the bad cop

and you the good cop.

I won't do it.

How should I put it across?

I don't care. Figure it out yourself.

Terry, are you sleeping?

Can we talk?

Yes, Ma'am.

Do you want water?

No thanks, Ma'am.

I don't know how to say this.

But...

I understand.

We have something to tell you.
