Distinction (2018) - full transcript

Ms Tsui (Jo Koo) is a music teacher in a special education needs (SEN) school, who is not able to switch to a mainstream school due to stereotyping and labelling; Zoey (Jennifer Yu) is an ...

Ms. Chui

According to your resume

You have an MA in Music from HKU

I'd like to know

Besides playing piano

Have you lead a choir before?

Although our school doesn't have a choir

I have experience in conducting our students

Have your students won any awards in competitions?

They have performed in
the HK Schools Music Festival

They've received an 'A' grade



Does an 'A' grade mean the top prize?

In which category?

There's no ranking or point system

In the 'Special Schools' category

Sun

And this one

Moon

Moon

Good morning

Good morning everyone

Okay, please sit

What number is this?

One, two, three, four

Four



Correct, that's four

One, two

Three

Four

Five

Six, seven, eight, nine

Ms. Sau, please help us out

After To-to changed his medication

He's lost his appetite

And hasn't eaten anything since last night

But he has to take this medication,
what should we do?

I'm not free right now

Go over there and line up

Okay

Let's consult your doctor

And see if there's a better option

"Mid-Autumn Festival folk songs"

We're learning about Mid-Autumn Festival folk songs

These are the songs

Does anyone know what these are?

These are staves

They go from C, D, E, F, G, A, B

To-to

We're in class now

No more playing with toys, understood?

Do you understand?

Ka-long, what are you doing?

Drawing

What Class are we in right now?

Music

Is it for music class?

Alright, put it away

This is music class

Go ahead

What are these? C, D, E, and what's next?

Can you sing it for me?

"Kai Kwong School"

I don't wanna go this way

Why not? School is that way

Come on, come on

No!

What's wrong? Behave

You're giving me a headache

Come on, let's go

I don't wanna go this way

I can't help that there's a roadblock

What's going on? Are you not listening?

The bell's ringing, let's go

Hey! What are you filming?

Please don't film him. You're scaring him

Nonsense, I'm not filming

Please just go

Please get up

The bell's ringing, you'll be late

- I don't wanna go
- Come on, let's go

What's wrong? Let's go, you'll be late

Ms. Chui, thank God you're here

Hey there, why are you sitting here?

I like the usual route to school

Take a look

"Park"

- Recognize this?
- Yes

This was the park you just walked through, right?

Yes

Alright then, let's go

This way

Thanks, Ha Tau

Please make a copy of this document

Yes, principal

Kit from my graduating class

Is as capable as Ha Tau

Kit is capable, of course

The school really wanted to hire him

But we only had one opening

If we can afford a musical

Why don't we hire more graduates?

Take a look at this clip

Kit's mother sent this to me

- No!
- Come out!

We don't know how long he has to wait

Until he's admitted to a sheltered workshop

He's doing nothing at home every day

"Landlord insisted on a 30% rent increase"

"How about we move to a smaller apartment?"

We don't want to see cases like Kit's

But if our school only hired our own graduates

It'll perpetuate the same problem

This musical that we're putting on

Is for the outside world to get to know our students

To change their perception,
so our students have a better chance

"Will you send your father to an elderly home?"

"Let me think about it"

Ms. Chui

How's the musical coming along?

We're prepping right now

Good, we're counting on you

On to the next topic on our agenda

"Kai Kwong Musical"

Thanks for participating
in Kai Kwong School's musical

Students from Kai Kwong, let's welcome our guests

Step forward

Shake hands and ask for each other's names

What's your name?

Go on, shake hands

I'm Hau-man

- Hello, Hau-man
- Shake hands

Nice to meet you

You can call me Ms. Chan

What's your name?

What's your name?

My name is Ka-long

Wash more thoroughly

We don't know what they've touched

Hello

I'm Chen-li from Yuk Choi Secondary School

You can call me Xiao-li

Do you know her?

Xiao-li

I'm Xiao-li

Think about it

We have to commute such along way to rehearsal

They're either retarded or from the mainland

What's the value in this?

I thought you wanted to impress Miss Chan

So that she'd give you a better grade

Hello? Mom?

I can't leave yet

I don't care about my grades

I'm going to Central Saint Martins anyway

Hey

What's up?

What do you think?

Should we come again?

But...

If we quit the musical now

Will that piss off Miss Chan?

If accidents occurred, we'll be in trouble

With the parents, you understand?

I know, principal

But this is a completely voluntary activity

And I think it's a great opportunity

For our students to get to know

Students with intellectual disabilities

It's quite meaningful

7 to 8 students signed up originally

But they all said they were busy

So...

There's one more student on the way

I understand, It's okay

Ms. Chui, I see that other kids
have a lot of activities

- But Shun doesn't have any
- Ms. Chui, I'm glad I caught you

Sorry to interrupt

Why is Ka-long still counting from 1 to 100?

He's learned this before

He's really smart,
you can give him more advanced homework

I'll see to it

Ms. Chui, please give Shun another chance

I'll do my best

Ms. Chui, you really have to
give him more advanced homework

He's a smart kid, trust me

I'll see to it

- You really have to
- Alright

- You all better head home
- You promised

Thank you

Grace

Hey

Thanks for bringing so many students today

You're welcome

You've helped me out in school before

But just so you know

I can't come next time

This extra-curricular activity

Wasn't authorized by my school

I let the students come voluntarily

I understand

I won't make it difficult for you

Any updates on my interview?

I think they've hired someone

Don't worry, you can stay here for longer

Your work here is very meaningful

I've been here for eight years

I thought this would be my lucky charm

It didn't work

That's impressive

Where's your school badge?

Ka-ho

Please be more punctual next time

Punctuality is a virtue

Don't make others wait

- Whatever
- Big Brother

Let's play

Go play by yourself

Let's play

Let go, or I'll smack you

Ng Ka-ho

I'm just messing with him

He...

He's my little brother

Sir, let's cut the crap

When can I leave?

This special programme

Requires you to complete 30 hours
of volunteer service

You should've received a notice

That states very clearly

If you participate proactively

The school will pardon all your misdemeanors

Alright, I get it

I think I know more about people with special needs

They have a really rough life

Some can't control themselves

And some can't communicate verbally

So I feel that we should cherish our talent

Very good, any others?

I think it's very meaningful

Because they don't get to play with

People like us very often

I feel really happy being able to help them

I hope there will be more opportunities

To help others

I ...

Have learned a lot

Although they have these problems

They still try really hard

So I want to be as positive as they are

I can't believe they can spin the ball like that

They were teasing me just now

Seems like you belong here

Ng Ka-ho

It's not right of you to say that

Come on

She's only been here a day, what's the big deal?

So what now? Can I leave?

Alright, go ahead

What did you eat today?

Veggie

Was it good?

It was yummy

Hey

What's up? What time is it?

You're so late, I've already gone three rounds

It's not like I wanted to

I had to deal with Mr. Hung

Who cares about Mr. Hung?
You want to drop out anyway

I don't wanna get kicked out

Chickenshit!

I'm not as dumb as you are

Why would you quit school and work?

Everyone knows that your parents will

Give you money as long as you're in school

That's the life

Aunt May, three phones

Making money is so easy

I saw two schoolmates doing this as well

Don't get busted

Don't worry, we'll just get a 'white slip'

Aunt May

Six phones for two of us

She's new, show me her ID

Smart! The two of you can take six pieces

You earn $300 every trip

Double your earnings

Are you ready?

Let's go

Watch out at the customs

Got it

Its purpose is to encourage young people

To strive for the better, and cherish their time

And plan for their future

In terms of the format

Besides using acryllic

I'll also make a collage

Using newspaper clippings of these

Successful people as the background

Very good

That's a very good point

The topic is positive

And you've shown various techniques

You'll get higher scores with
the multimedia segment

Good job, take a seat

If everyone can adequately
show their train of thought

And show them clearly,
then you'll get higher scores

Alright, next student please

Zoey, your turn

My topic is 'food'

Few years ago

I attended culinary workshops with my mom

Then I got interested in cooking

No, do you have a grander reason for this?

A grander reason?

For example

'Hope', you understand?

We're here, wake up

I forgot my disinfectant wipes

My mom said I had to use those

I have antiseptic gel

Great

Is that new?

It's so pretty

It's a gift from my dad

This color only came out yesterday

What brand is this?

It looks expensive

Zoey, is that a new watch?

Let's see

This is a luxury brand

Mom said we shouldn't wear
expensive watches at school

I'm familiar with this brand

But I haven't seen this model

I'm not sure

My dad bought it when he was on a business trip

Let's go

Zoey, let's go

Ka-ho, there you are

Sir, I'm not feeling well

What? How are you feeling?

I'm alright now

What's wrong?

Ka-ho

Big brother, you need this

Ka-ho

You're always unwell, take this

It's okay

Listen to me

Put this in your bag, just in case

Alright

Oh no!

Only apply this when you're unwell

Good boy

Come on

Just keep it with you

I got it

Bear that in mind

Damn you, why did you push me?

Zoey, are you okay?

It's scratched

What? What's scratched?

Where? Let's see

Maybe it was already scratched before

Keep on rehearsing

What's going on here?

He pushed Zoey and scratched her watch

I didn't scratch it, don't accuse me

Then can you tell me

Why you pushed her?

She pushed me first

He suddenly grabbed my arm

Ka-ho, no matter whose fault it is

You should apologize to her

She pushed me

Be a gentleman

Sorry

To whom?

How would I know her name?

It's OK

'Miss OK', are you alright?

Miss OK, let's roller skate

Big brother, a butterfly

Big brother, let's go home

Hey, it's mom

Mommy!

Sweetie

What are you doing here?

He came to pick me up

Hello?

When do I start work?

They want to interview me today?

I can't, I have to take care of my son

No one's looking after him

Go to your interview

I'll take care of him

Wait! I'm available now

See you later, thank you

Let's go

Hello

You're smart

It's heavy

Big brother, it's heavy

Here's $20, shut up

Let's go

Against the wall

That's good

Thank you

You don't even play piano anymore

Why don't we throw it out?

Hello? Dad?

I visited you last week, didn't I?

I've been busy at work

What's wrong?

Was that your dad?

I think he's not used to living in an elderly home

My dad also had the same problems

Don't worry

"'Kai Kwong Musical' - Script"

"'Kai Kwong Musical' - Script"

Ms. Chui, is there dancing in this musical?

Yes, there's dancing

I wanna be Summer Girl

Summer Girl?

What's that?

I wanna be a chef

I wanna be a chef

No, you can't be a chef

You need to sing, understood?

Yes!

No more cooking

You can't be a chef

Don't touch that

That's not allowed

I want Miss OK, where's Miss OK?

Who's Miss OK?

Where's Miss OK?

I want Miss OK

Who's Miss OK?

Ka-ho

How many times do I have to tell you?

You have to be punctual

Ms. Chui, I'm really sorry

Ka-ho arrived late today

Is there anything he can help with?

All the roles have already been assigned

Besides being on stage

Can he help off-stage?

If you don't mind

Maybe he can be our photographer

Great

Hey, I don't know how

No problem

I can teach you

I took a photography class at the community centre

Thank you, Ms. Chui

Finished!

Done

Time's up, stop writing

Hello? Mom?

We're studying at Zoey's house in Sheung Shui

By the way, Zoey

Didn't your brother apply for a scholarship

For Stanford University?

How did he apply?

I'm not too sure

Time's up

Are you done yet?

I didn't even start

Zoey, your old house seemed to be bigger

No, it was just about the same

Where does your domestic helper sleep?

My mom said we didn't need one
because I've grown up

That's true, it's expensive to hire one

No wonder your mom stopped hiring
us to work part-time

Money is always the first thing you talk about

Do you think I like arguing?

We need money to keep this household

Auntie, uncle

You're all here?

Just carry on

Want something to drink?

Want a drink from the fridge?

I'll get some for you all

We're about to head out

80 soon?

You can stay for longer

It's getting late

Stay for longer

We're done with our homework

Do you need a lift?

No, it's okay. We can get our own ride

It's okay

Come more often

Alright

Zoey, let me know

If you have friends over next time

Big brother!

What's up?

I have enough money, I want to buy this watch

Big brother, I'm tired

Nonsense, I've already given you $20

Papa

There's some leftover chicken

From the restaurant where your mom works

Heat it up if you're hungry

Share with Ka-long

What are you doing here?

Let's go back

Are you done?

Let's go

Mama...

Mama... Mama...

"Birth control pills"

Hello, is this Zoey?

This is Ms. Chui from Kai Kwong School

Yes, what's the matter?

Miss Chan told me that you've quit the musical

I understand that you need to study

For your upcoming DSE exams

But can you do me a small favor?

Miss OK!

Miss OK!

Yin's mom, are you ready?

Miss OK, this watch is for you

I have exams soon, so I can't come anymore

You have to be good

I will

I got you this watch

I don't wanna...

Yin, I know this isn't our usual route

But if you don't get up, we're going to be late

Hey, stop filming

Why are you fliming us?

You're scaring him

Let's take a break

We'll resume in a bit

Ka-ho, why is the screen so dark?

How would I know?

Let me have a look

It took us half an hour to cross the road

Everybody was staring at us

I'm fine with them staring at me

But they were staring at Yin

It was just a roadblock

He refused to go on another route

What'll happen when you get older?

I will grow old

And I Will die

I can't take care of you forever

I'm sorry

Mama

Ms. Chui

I know you have to prepare for your exams

Thanks for coming today

Ms. Chui

May I continue to participate in the musical?

Of course you may

Thank you, Ms. Chui

Within our embrace

It's hard to see equality

I've tried my best but no one can see

We are as unique

As we are normal

And ask for a helping hand

"Be With Me, Always"

Ms. Chui, thank you for
giving Shun this opportunity

We'll do our very best

Alright

Stand over here

To-to, you're a chef now, understood?

Understood

Ms. Chui, I wanna be a truck driver

Why?

Because my papa is a truck driver

Ka-long

What are you doing here?

It's heavy

What's heavy?

I have to carry my brother's phones

What phones?

I get on a train, it's tiring

My brother gave it to me

Big brother, put phones in here

We're not going

Stop

Are you smuggling phones with Ka-long?

What? No

Are you sure?

What?

Don't accuse me

Ka-long, tell me

What did your brother put in your bag?

Phones

What? I didn't!

He's retarded, why would you believe him?

Ms. Chui, Ka-ho is a bit of a handful

But he'll never do something like this

Ka-long said he's gone on many train rides

Saying he's tired from carrying his bag

His brother also gave him money

It's just playful banter, they don't mean it

Is that right, Ka-long?

We wouldn't want something like this to happen

That's why we called you two here today

To clarify exactly...

I understand

I will speak to them at home

Thank you, let's go

Wait, Mrs. Ng

Mr.

Give the bag to mommy

"Hong Kong-China Truck Drivers Association"

Hello, uncle

Didn't see you just now, thought you were working

I wish I had work

We only get 2-3 rounds a week

Ka-ho is here as well

Where's Ka-long?

He's... not feeling well

I heard from my son that he's changed schools

- He's at a 'special school'
- Yes

Auntie, we're heading out

Goodbye

I'm really sorry

I didn't know he ran away on his own,
he said that you're home

So I let him leave

Is this the police?

My child is missing

Ng Ka-long, 9 years old

Where are you going?

Your brother is missing!

I know where he is!

Come here

Why are you so naughty?

Why did you come here? Why are you so naughty?

Why didn't you behave?

Do you not want to go home?

Stop scolding him

Have you ever treated him like your son?

See what you've done

Are you afraid to be seen with him?

Ashamed that he's your son?

What are you?

You're just a truck driver!

Do you think that you're always right?

Do you know why Ka-long is here?

Do you know why?

He comes here to watch your truck leave every day

Did you know that?

You know why I don't take him with me?

Because you're ashamed of him!

No!

I don't care what they say about me!

But what they say about him!

Did you know that?

Papa... papa...

Let's go back home, okay?

Ms. Chui

When can the helper start working?

It's to care for an elderly

What are you doing here?

Ms. Chui, I wanted to apologize

He has Alzheimer's disease, thank you

Ms. Chui, let me help you

Ka-long, big brother is back

- What's the matter?
- Big brother, you should go

Papa will hit you

Big brother will behave

Papa won't hit me

Hands up

Yes, that's beautiful

Bring it up, that's right

Alright, the other hand

A bit more angled

A bit more curved, much better

Have you been dancing for long?

Yes,l have

I've just finished a solo show outside of school

Alright, turn around

Let's do that again

You don't hold it like this

Miss OK

You got it all over your face

Look

Wanna draw a smiley face?

Grandpa

Zoey, just got out of school?

Come up to my place

I'll cook your favorite curry

Alright

"2nd Runner-up-'16th Annual Cooking Championship'"

Visit me more often

I'll make you all kinds of food

Thank you, grandpa

Your mom used to love this too

Cook it low and slow

Remember, don't add water

That's the best way

Why are you always on the phone?

Who's calling you?

No, grandpa

I'm just recording the whole process

I wanna be as skilled as you are

Let me teach you

I'll teach you how to be a real chef

This is the secret

Add some chocolate

It becomes more flavorful

But it has to be a 75% cocoa dark chocolate

You can't just use any chocolate

What time is it?

I went to grandpa's house

I made this pot of curry with him

Why were you at grandpa's house?

I bumped into him on the street after school

Was he rummaging through trash again?

I've told him many times

Dad, why were you rummaging through trash again?

You did a great job

Very good

The theme is grand

And the multimedia segment showcased your technique

- Well done
- Thank you

Next... Zoey

Who is this?

This is my grandpa

But this method of expression

Might not get your message across

Examiner won't give you high score

Maybe you should try something else next time

Life could've been perfect

- Life could've...
- Mr. Hung?

What is it, Ka-ho?

Are you unwell again?

No...

I actually have something to ask

What is it?

Look, I don't know why

The screen is either too bright or too dark

Let me have a look

Sir, I don't think it's this button

I think it's this one

Hello?

Hey! A new phone's out

There's $100 more per trip

Are you coming?

I'm busy right now

I'm not coming, we'll talk later

Hands off

They're for worshipping

Let's pray that our ancestors

Watch over Ka-long

So that he can get into this good school

I said hands off

You need its blessing
to get into this school, understood?

Kneel down

Kneel down now

Three bows

Go ahead

Go lower, that's right

He's a great kid

He speaks fluent English too

He also participated in a... speech competition

And received an award. Take a look, Principal

There's more

All this homework

Was very well done

He did it himself, nobody helped him

Judging from our interview today

I'm sure Ka-long is a wonderful young boy

But he is studying in a special school

A regular school like ours isn't suitable for him

I thought if he passed the...

Entrance exam, he'd get in for sure?

He's passed already

Accepting one more kid
isn't too much trouble, right?

How can I help you, Mr. Ng?

It's nothing, I'm leaving

Ka-long took leave today

Is he okay?

I'm not sure

No matter how busy you are

Try to spend more time with Ka-long

Actually, what should I do?

These volunteers are all parents

The school is putting on a musical

They're here to help

Excuse me

There's an empty seat over there

If only my husband was like you

He really cares what others think

Our daughter was born this way

We shouldn't try to change her

We should accept her

Not everyone can accept it

Tell your husband to do what I do

Tell yourself in the mirror every day

My daughter is intellectually disabled

I couldn't say it out loud at first

But I kept trying

I can even say it with a smile now

Who said he should change schools?

Alright

Let's not make a fuss

Dad

Let's go

People nowadays

Throw away things that can be fixed

You probably don't know

Back in my day

We don't have the luxury of

Getting whatever you want

We never threw anything away

It's fixed

You won't need a new one

Thank you, grandpa

Grandpa, is this too much?

Be patient

Take it slow

I'll do it again

This looks good

Zoey, you seem different lately

Miss OK

Baking a cake?

You can use these two types of cake flour

This type of sugar is perfect for baking

My grandma has diabetes, she can't eat sugar

Over here

This one! Xylitol

What's xylitol?

It's an artificial sweetener, don't worry

I made this with my mom in a baking workshop

Miss OK, I wanna try

I'll make you one next time, okay?

What do I need to do now?

Start by cracking an egg

Then start beating the egg

I'm pouring it in

I'll start mixing

Add some water, right?

No, don't!

Don't add water

That'll turn into steamed egg

How long do I have to mix?

Mix it until...

It doesn't stick anymore

That's a great drawing

I'll be counting on you for our poster

Ms. Chui

You lost your bracelet

I'll go find it

Yin

Miss OK

What are you up to?

Ms. Chui asked me to design a poster

You know how to draw?

I had no idea

Big brother, the phone

Okay

Take a look

Look

That's me

Let's say out loud

How was the cake?

The cake was yummy

It was yummy

How are you?

I'm good

- Did you have fun today?
- Yes

Lucky we ran into you

Or else I couldn't have made the cake

I couldn't have made it just by watching tutorials

My grandma and Ka-long both enjoyed it

I'll leave you be, it's impressive

Thank you

You know how to bake cakes?

I wanna make one too

I found some recipes online

But they're all in English

I don't get it

Show me

This website is great

This brownie is delicious

If you bake it perfectly

The crust will be crunchy

It will be gooey inside

The molten chocolate will ooze out

Zoey passed most of her subjects

But her ranking is a bit low

Especially for visual arts and mathematics

If she'd like to apply for HKU or CUHK

The chances are quite slim

I personally recommend

Perhaps City U or Poly U

Might be easier for her

Miss Chan

My daughter is struggling now

Then teach her to be better

She will improve

But if you've made up your mind already

She definitely won't improve

I was also a student of
your chancellor Sister Paulina

Should I have a conversation with her

To discuss your method of teaching?

All I wanted was for you to study hard

You couldn't even do such a simple thing

Did you even make an effort?

I was already open-minded

You wanted to study art

I knew there was no career in that

But I let you do it anyway

But you still failed it, didn't you?

Tell me, what do you want?

Crying again

All you do is cry

How will you survive in the real world?

And why are you still so terrible at math?

How about this?

You're free every Tuesday and Thursday after school

We'll add another tutoring class

It won't change anything

I have an extra-curricular activity on Thursdays

What activity?

You should be studying in your free time

Your DSE exams are coming up next year

Looking at Ka-ho's progress

He probably won't get into local universities

He has potential in photography

Instead of wasting time here

We should let him...

Just let him take the DSE exams

He's just not trying hard enough

I've told you to study harder

Do I really have potential?

Mr. Hung, are you serious?

Where can I study that?

Still messing around?

In fact, photography is an expertise

Mrs. Ng, please reconsider

This is the photography guide I bought

For the class at
the community centre a few years ago

I dug it up especially for you

Thank you, Mr. Hung

Your thirty hours of volunteer service is completed

Your previous misdemeanors are pardoned

But I hope you'll go through with this musical

"Life could've been perfect"

Hello?

Zoey, are you at the tutoring class?

I can pick you up later

I'm studying at Tiffany's place

I don't know when we'll be done

You don't need to pick me up

Alright, come home soon

What's going on?

Do you want a pony tail?

I'll help you with that

Give it to me, I'll help you

Thank you

You look so pretty with a pony tail

Thank you

It looks so pretty

Take a look at what I got you

Open it and see if you like it

Didn't you say that you liked this backpack?

I'm so hard on you for your own good

Think about it

You worked so hard to get into this school

For what?

So you can get into a good university

And have a good career in the future, right?

I actually want to be a chef

You say that now, but what about the future?

You won't know what you want in the future

You wouldn't know

I understand

I'm not saying being a chef is bad

But I want you to have more options

I promise you

Once you graduate from university

You can do whatever you want

I won't stop you, alright?

This upcoming year

Will determine the next few decades of your life

Just do well on the DSE exams

And forget about everything else, okay?

I don't care if you'll lack money or achievements

I'm just worried that you'll be working

At a job that you don't like

It'll be too late for regret

And I won't be able to help

What's wrong with studying in Hong Kong?

If you send her abroad

She'd end up in a crappy university anyways

That's not what you said
when her brother got into Stanford

This is different,
he got the scholarship on his own

Cut the crap, you only care about your money

If you're so capable,
then think of a solution yourself

I've decided to send her abroad

Without spending a dime from you

You're being unreasonable, I'm done with this

Hey!

Why aren't you in bed?

Go back to bed

Hello?

Don't worry

I'll handle it first thing tomorrow morning

Yes, there won't be a problem

Don't worry, I'll handle it

Please put your student ID on the desk

For the invigilators

Please turn off your mobile phones

If your phone rings during the exam

Points may be deducted

Students from the same school may not sit together

Otherwise, you will be disqualified

Where is Miss OK?

Miss OK isn't here

Xiao-li will take over, understood?

Is Miss OK gone?

Just do your best, okay?

Do you wanna sing?

Do you wanna sing on stage?

Alright, good

Ms. Chui, do we follow
the original dance arrangement?

Yes, follow the original plan for the dance

And same for the singing, understood?

Ka-long, hold my hand

You're not wearing roller skates

I don't know how

Just walk with me

Hey!

Come back, come back

Stand still!

Honey, are you ready to leave?

I'm still rehearsing, I can't leave yet

Again? You've been rehearsing so much lately

When will you be done with it?

Let's talk about this at home

Alright

Ms. Chui, where should we be standing?

We've been doing this all day

What's the point of this musical?

We should be in class

Ms. Chui, we're leaving now

What are you all doing?

Why is everyone all over the place?

Principal, I can get it done

I promise there won't
be complaints from the parents anymore

Ms. Chui, are you under a lot of pressure?

No

I haven't seen you smile all this time

Are you unhappy teaching here?

In fact...

The show is happening in two weeks

I still have a lot of things to prepare

A student from Elite Girls School dropped out

I really don't know what to do

I'm really worried, but I've tried my best

Ms. Chui, come take a look

These leaves are like our students

No matter how hard we try

They are who they are

But if you look closely

They're all different

Take a look

Some leaves are bigger

Some leaves are smaller

Each one of them is unique

Why aren't you coming to rehearsal?

I've told Ms. Chui that I've quit

You've quit just like that?

We have less than a month until the show

They're a mess

They couldn't rehearse like before

They're missing all their cues

I really can't come anymore

Why not?

I'm late for my tutoring class

Hey!

Stop following me

I'm not coming back

It'll be done within a month

Is it that difficult?

I'm not like you

I need to take my DSE exams

I need to take the DSE as well

I'm not from a lower tier school,
I need to get into university

Yes? Speaking

What?

Can you say that again?

Which hospital?

Alright

I'm on my way

I'll be there

Zoey, get changed

We're going to the hospital!

Dad was fine all along

Who knew it would be a heart attack?

Hello?

Zoey, tell your mom that I can't make it

Help me take care of her

There are thousands of people in this world

But I'm all alone

These are tough times

I sincerely hope that

The day will come

Someone with a caring heart

Can walk beside me every day

There are thousands of people in this world

No matter how difficult our road becomes

Alright, one more time

There are thousands of people in this world

No matter how difficult our road becomes

I will have you here

Shoulder to shoulder

Rid us all of our troubles

Go forward together with love

Next verse

I can't leave yet

Keep going

Alright, ready?

You don't need to be afraid

Life's become clear with you beside me

Going through tough times together

Hand in hand

Push away the snow

Go through any obstacles

As long as you're here

Honey

What is it?

Do you know why I didn't want kids all this time?

I'm not as compassionate as you think

I see my students every day

But I never got to know them

I just knew that

Whatever I taught them today

Will be forgotten the next day

Day after day

I couldn't see a future for them

I've been really worried

If I were so unfortunate

To have a child

With their disabilities

I don't think I can take it

Silly

If you're fed up at work

Then find another job

It's not about getting another job

I've been thinking of getting a new job for 8 years

But now I know why I want to stay in this school

Even if something were to happen to my child

I won't be afraid

Dad

I'll pick you up from the elderly home soon

Yin, let's go

I don't wanna!

Yin...

Life could've been perfect

But not everything can be expected

Regrets surround us

And fill our hearts

Our admittance rate to the top 3 universities

Has declined from 88% to 86% these past few years

Students are really fragile these days

The student suicide rate is increasing

Whilst it's important for you to push your students

Please be aware of your choice of words

These questions might be on the DSE next year

Start studying, we'll have a quiz next week

Please expect to come back

For extra summer classes

Happy birthday

I hope you can get into a good school

Daddy also has a present for you

Happy birthday

Make a wish

Mr. Hung

Ka-ho, what's the matter?

I'd like to return your book

You're already done with it?

A lot of the cameras in there are outdated

There are a lot of tutorials online

What are you working on?

Ms. Chui asked me to design a poster

I've spent hours on it, but I can't get it right

Everybody take a step forward

Let's hold hands

Stay still

Ready

There will be a musical organized by

Our school and Kai Kwong School this summer

And thanks to our very own Ng Ka-ho

For designing this beautiful poster

Thank you, Ka-ho

Check out the date

It's on July 8th

Please come and see our musical

Please support us

We wrote our own music

Please come and support

Thank you

Good morning madam

Please support our musical

Sit tight

We're heading to the performance venue

Take your seat

Big brother, will Miss OK be there?

It's hard to see equality

I've tried my best but no one can see

Look, you're so pretty

Who's prettier? You or me?

Miss OK!

Ka-long, want a piece?

Is it yummy?

Yes!

Ka-long

Want a piece?

Is it yummy?

Ka-ho, I made this myself

Thank you

Shun and Shun's mom

Please try a piece

Ka-ho

It's going to get dark here

Is it bright enough?

Don't worry, Mr. Hung

Mr. Hung

You mentioned about

Photography courses outside of school

I've decided

I think I'll enroll in those courses

Instead of wasting time here

Welcome to

'The Extraordinary Musical' by Kai Kwong School

Please enjoy the show

Yin, let's go

No, this isn't our usual route

Yin, I can't help that there's a roadblock

The school's right over there

He can't find his way because of a roadblock

What will happen in the future?

I will grow old

l Will die

I can't take care of him forever

Please stop filming

Please stop filming

Please stop filming

Ms. Chui

Yin's mom, I'll handle this

Yin, take a look

Recognize this?

Follow me

Take a look

This leaf looks ordinary

But if you observe it closely

You'll realize that each leaf is different

Some have crooked edges

Some have holes on them

Some are bigger

Some are smaller

Leaves are just like people

Each one of them is unique

And they're all extraordinary

Life could've been perfect

But not everything can be expected

Regrets surround us

And fill our hearts

Within our embrace

It's hard to see equality

I've tried my best but no one can see

We are as unique

As we are normal

And ask for a helping hand

There are thousands of people in this world

But I'm all alone

These are tough times

I sincerely hope that

The day will come

Someone with a caring heart

Can walk beside me every day

Granny, that's Ka-long

Where?

Right there, on stage

What a smart boy

Hello, student from Kai Kwong

I'm a special student journalist

Can you tell us about your dreams and aspirations?

I want to be a truck driver

Because papa gets really tired from work

You don't need to be afraid

Life's become clear with you beside me

Going through tough times together

Hand in hand

Push away the snow

Go through any obstacles

As long as you're here

"4th Grade General Studies Textbook"

Don't throw that out

Give it to me

To you?

What for?

It needs a suitable environment

Come on, granny

I don't feel well, I don't wanna eat

Mother, please eat

I don't feel well, I don't wanna eat

Grandma, you don't feel well, use this

Where did you get this from?

My schoolbag

Hello?

This is Ying Yan College calling

We'd like to schedule an interview

It's okay, thank you

Ms. Chui, you lost something

What have I lost?

You've lost 'don't touch, don't touch'

Thank you, Yin

How are you?

Got class later?

- Yes
- What class?

Math

My mom said because of exams

I should cut my hair short to save time,
what do I do?

You have to listen to her

Zoey, ready to go?

Louisa, I missed the last tutoring class

Can I photocopy your notes?

My notes are very messy

What about Alice?

I left them at home

Isn't this your notebook?

I can't chat anymore

I got to go, bye

Work hard, guys

You can borrow my notes

Thank you

That's all for today

Goodbye class

Goodbye Miss Wong

See you later
