Student A: You can bet there's just Internet that I am interested to know. But I've got an assignment, it shows my great commitment(n.承諾)and I really feel that's the way to go.
Teacher: Everybody, gather around.

Student A: I help in the protests(n.抗議)outside the Legislative Council(立法會)building.

Student : Look at me and what do you see? Intelligence beyond compare. But inside I am stirring. Something strange is occurring. It's a secret I need to share.

Principal: This is not what I want. This is not what I planned. And I just got to say I do not understand. Something is really......Something is really wrong.
Principal: And we've got to get things back where they belong.
Teacher and Principal: We can do it.
Student : What's wrong with my way?
Teacher: Stick with what I propose!
Teacher and Principal: We can do it.
Student : Graffiti, hooray(int.好哇、萬歲)!
Teacher: You have to go!
Teacher and Principal: We can do it.

Principal: EVERYBODY QUIET!
Student : ......
