Mrs. Kwan: You're always so sensitive just like me. When I was young, my mother tried to toughen me up. We just want you to have thicker skin because life can be hard for someone with a sweet heart like yours.
Alice: Well, I am getting tougher. And I'm learning how to stand up for myself. I don't want you to make jokes and cut me down because that doesn't build me up. That doesn't make me feel good, and that's the only way that a sweet heart can survive in this world.
