But all my friends are here, and I have mom..

You are too smart, gifted, you should go to a

special school, you can make new friends.

We are your friends always. I've heard the children

in Beijing are very nice, you will have a happy life there.

I dont like the numbers at all, I like my friends.

I dont want to make new friends, I dont like maths.

You go there to do maths, we will write to you...

send mail to Beijing every week.

You promise?

Sure, you'd like us to lose a famous friend?

We are always here for you Mei....AAh.

Mom, enough

You've no right to be here.

You should be in jail

until you put him in a comma

which frankly I did not give a sh*t about

but you cost me a million dollars

which nothing compared what you cost to Cheski

You recognize the name?

I bet on you big time to take a dive

and he was going to take out on me too

because he know i'm the schmuck that

set this hold thing up

unless I delivered your head with

a down-payment

You know how the Russians are

Ah Mei, your brain doesn't work well..

You know that eh, very nice, I dont like computers,

you know why? They leave traces...

They also said..

Go away, go away..

You won't forget what you said,
