"Pick up the rope!" "This time last year, we lost to Hua-Yu Girls' school." "Don't forget how we lost." "Stand up from where we fell." "In most sports, you dash forward to win." "But in tug of war you have to step back instead." "A year ago." "We're here." "Here we are." "Chun-ying..." "You're going to study in Taipei." "You have to work really hard." "Don't let your grandma worry about you." "Yes, I know." "Be a good girl." "You see her off at the station." "I'll wait for you here." "Okay, thank you so much." "Don't mention it." "Uncle Tien, thank you so much." "Be good!" "Sir," "I want to see my granddaughter off." "She's going to Taipei." "How much is it?" "One ticket to Taipei, $263." "And one platform ticket, $6." "I need to pay to go to the platform?" "Well, yes." "You have to buy a platform ticket." "Grandma, you don't have to come with me." "I'll be fine by myself." "It's really alright." "Grandma you really don't have to see me off." "I'll be fine by myself it's alright." "Have these guavas." "Take them." "Have the money too." "Grandma, no need for that." "Grandma feels really sorry that" "I can't afford to send you to a local senior high." "Have the money too." "Grandma, the school gives us food and a place to live." "I won't need it." "Keep it for yourself." "Silly girl, Grandma grows vegetables." "I can make money out of it." "You have to study hard." "So one day you'll be successful." "Haven't you heard the old saying?" ""Roosters have to crow and men have to fight."" "Be dutiful and work hard." "Grandma, I know all these." "Right, right, my dear child." "Call me when you have time." "Take a good care of yourself." "I know, Grandma." "Hello, are you new students too?" "Yes." "I called Ms. Wu just now." "She asked us to wait for her here." "Are you the new students on sports scholarships?" "Yes." "I'm Ms. Wu." "Good day, Ms. Wu." "Which of you is Wang Chi-Hua?" "It's me." "Li Chun-Ying." "Here!" "Huang Yu-Chiao." "Here!" "I'll take you to the sports center first." " This way." "Yes." "Mei-Ling!" "Why do you keep your legs that far apart?" "Don't be nervous." "Mr. Kuo is actually very kind." "He's just a bit loud." "Don't try to lose weight." "It's a tug of war game not a beauty contest!" "Just see his loud voice as singing practice." "What the hell are you pulling?" "Don't be afraid!" "Amos!" "Is it your first day here?" "!" "Come in." "What the hell are you doing?" "Two rounds." "Good day, Ms. Wu." "Good day." "Mr. Kuo." "Ms. Wu." "Mr. Kuo, they're the new students." "New students." "Come over." "What are you waiting for?" "Your names." "My name is Li Chun-Ying." "My name is Wang Chi-Hua." "My name is Huang Yu-Chiao." "Hua Yi-Chiao (slip)?" "Sir, it's HUANG YU-Chiao." "Mr. Kuo, I'll leave them to you then." "Thanks." "Good luck!" "What made you decide to play tug of war?" "My teacher said my thighs are thick enough for tug of war." "My sister was on the team." "She asked to me to join it." "I want to study." "I want to be successful." "Very good." "But you have to remember." "It's not you who choose tug of war." "It's tug of war that chooses you." "1,2, 3, 4." "Li Chun-Ying, this is your bed." "Thanks." "Wang Chi-Hua." "Here." "You sleep here." "Yes." "Huang Yu-Chiao." "Here." "Yours is the one on the side." "Ask us if you have any questions." "If you're hungry and want some wild boar meat, ask Amos." "That's right." "I'm an expert on boar meat!" "If you have any problems in your studies ask Chieh-An." "She is the best student on our team." "Not really..." "But if you have any problem you must let us know." "If you get poor grades, you'll be told off." "Who should I ask when it comes to dating?" "Shut up." "Stop talking nonsense." "Enough, you two!" "Cut the nonsense." "Okay." "Sort out your luggage first." "I'll show you the shower rooms later." "Thank you." "Apart from this place, there are lockers over there." "You can put your stuff there." "Okay, thank you." "Our first day here was even tougher than what you just had." "But the school gives us food and a place to live." "Put up with it for three years and then you'll graduate from a prestigious school." "Work hard!" "Come on, eat as much as you like." "I'll cook more if it isn't enough." "Thank you, auntie." "Come on, don't be shy." "Eat!" "So you have the strength to win." "You won't get a boyfriend if you get too fat." "Don't say that." "Maybe you can consider Peng." "Please I look more like a foreign laborer." "Go back to work!" "You always send me away!" "You sure you won't consider it?" "Gosh, go away!" "I thought the new girls were coming?" "Where are they?" "They'll come in a minute." " Oh, okay." "Auntie, we've come for dinner." "Come on, the dinner is ready." "Come over." "Evening, auntie." "Okay, come on." " Evening." "Come, new girls." "Good, everyone at table." "Oh." "Here." "This is yours." "And this is for you." "See if it's enough?" "Auntie, how many people is it for?" "Just for one!" "It's so much!" "Come on, tuck in everyone." "Excuse me." "Are we really going to eat it up?" "Of course." "Eat all of it!" "Auntie, can I have more instant noodles?" "Come on." "Mei-Ling, you're a big eater!" "Be careful with the shoes." "They're very expensive." "Quick, take them out." "Pick up the rope and keep your left hand upwards." "Hold the rope." "Then pull it towards your left." "Move your feet slowly forward." "That's it." "Do you get it?" "Yes." "What do you think of the new girls?" "You wouldn't know until they're tried." "Well..." "Don't put all the pressure on yourself." "Many things can affect the results of the games." "Ms. Wu, the school expected the team to win when they hired me as the coach." "Or all the students' efforts are wasted." "You..." "I dreamed that someday" "I could wear the yellow uniform and the black skirt walking around in Taipei girls high school." "Thanks to Tug-of-War it made my dream come true now I have a new dream" "On Dong-Ting Lake I look at the spectacular scenery in Baling." "The Yellow River runs into the distance." "I am immersed in the grand view from Yueyang Tower." "Do you remember how to work out the equation?" "If you don't, see the column on the left." "Hey." "Look, Yu-Chiao is dozing." "I wake her up." "R equals 1." "It means X and Y are in a direct relationship." "If R turns out to be minus 1..." "Why did you do that?" "!" "Wang Li-Min, you're in the class!" "So if we use this method..." "Let's see the lower right corner on the page..." "I couldn't keep my eyes open." "It's more tiring to sit in the class than pulling the rope." "I always have to pull against sleepiness." "Pay more attention, please." "Your poor grade got Kuo into trouble again." "Please." "I got everything in red (failed)." "But I did very well in PE!" "Very well in PE?" "!" "Very well in PE?" "I'm sorry." "I'm Sorry." "What are you doing?" "I'm sorry." "You tug of war players!" "You get poor grades and you're so loud." "Have you no shame?" "Do you have to be so rude?" "We do study hard." "Or why don't you do the training and see if you can do better than us?" "You should ask yourselves why you get such poor grades." "If you love tug of war so much stop complaining about it!" "Alright." "Alright." "Stop fighting" "Or I'll tell you teacher and you'll all get punished." "Stop eating the food for sell!" "Are you really that hungry?" "Okay." "Okay." "You're all classmates to one another." "Don't be angry." "Classmates?" "!" "We're not classmates!" "We're different!" "We studied hard and passed the entrance exams!" "They got in by pulling some rope!" "Wang Li-Min, your mouth stinks!" "You're the one who stinks!" "You all stink of sweat!" "Who stinks?" "This is a school for pretty girls." "No one stinks!" "It smells so nice!" "Stop talking nonsense." "Go away." "Wang Li-Min." "Just like your good grades, our sweat is the result of our hard work." "If you feel our sweat stinks, your grades don't smell any good to us!" "Thank you." "I know you train very hard." "But still you have study even harder." "Quick, go back to the class." "Thank you." "It's all your fault." "You hit my head!" "Stop swinging" "Push down." "Ching-Ya, get down!" "Mei-Ling, step back!" "Stop swinging" "Push!" "Push down!" "What the hell are you pulling?" "What the hell are you pulling?" "What are you pulling?" "Stop!" "How long have you been practicing?" "You know what you're doing?" "Is it too easy for you?" "Shall I increase the weight?" "What are you pulling against?" "Use your brain!" "Sir, it was Chun-Ying's fault." "Two rounds." "Go!" "Yes, sir." "You senior girls, be more careful!" "I'm so tired." "I can't slack off at all!" "That's fine." "Someone even picked on me." "Mei-Ling did that for your own good." "Tug of war is a team sport." "One makes a mistake and we lose the game!" "Chun-Ying." "Chun-Ying." "Chen Mei-Ling." "Why did you snitch on me?" "You weren't paying attention." "Yes, I surely was!" "I stood at the back." "I saw only too well how you were pulling." "I was paying attention and pulling really hard!" "Then what happened to you just now?" "You kept leaning on the rope." "We could lose the game just for that!" "We don't want to lose just because of you." "If you're not strong enough you should do something about it." "Okay?" "Come on, let's go." "I'm waiting for your challenge." "Let's go." "She means well." "Do extra training when you have time." "Chun-Ying, forget it." "Let's eat." "Come on." "Get up." "Get up!" "Quick!" "Eh?" "Where are the new girls?" "What happened to them?" "Chi-Hua, were you sobbing last night?" "I feel homesick." "Since you're here don't be afraid." "Be strong." "Do we have to work so hard?" "I'll definitely surprise Mei-Ling." "I can't do it anymore." "Hang in there." "Chun-Ying." "Chi-Hua." "Good afternoon, Ms. Wu." "It's lunch break." "What are you doing here?" "Because..." "Because we aren't as strong as our seniors we want to do extra exercise." "Good." "Don't get injured or heatstroke, okay?" "Okay." "Good luck." "Thank you, Ms. Wu." "You didn't salute in unison." "Try again." "Yes, Captain." "Good afternoon, Ms. Wu." "You're practicing in the lunch break?" "Yes." "As we're doing a show soon we need to practice hard." "You're keeping the tug of war team company!" "Good luck." "Thank you, ma'am." "Okay." "Okay." "Sir." "What's up?" "We want to pull against our seniors." "Why?" "Because..." "Because we want to prove ourselves." "Three minutes." "We'll start when you're ready." "Pick up the rope!" "Take the strain." "Steady." "Pull!" "Pull harder!" "What?" "After all, they're new girls." "Count down." "Ten seconds." "3,2,1." "Stop!" "Come over, you juniors." "Remember you can't make it overnight." "You have to work harder." "Got it?" "Yes, sir." "Come over." "When you finish stretching, you can leave for the weekend." "What time do you have to be back on Sunday?" "Nine o'clock." "Don't you look forward to it?" "What time?" "Nine o'clock!" "Finish the final stretch." "Yes, sir." "Work harder!" "I'm off." "Please clean the toilets before you go." "Yes, ma'am." "Bye, Kuan-Ping." "Bye, ma'am." "Kuan-Ping, just wait for a little longer." "We'll go home when I finish cleaning the toilets." "Sure." "Hi, long time no see." "Hello, Hsia-An!" "Hello." "Amos, you've got even darker!" "Well, thanks to Kuo." "Ha, Mr. Kuo!" "They are the new girls." "Say hello to your senior." "Hello." "Hello girls." "See if you like anything." "My treat!" "Really?" "I think it looks very nice on you." "Excuse me." "You've got customers." "We should leave." "That's fine." "Keep looking." "It's okay." "We'll catch up soon." "Okay, see you soon." "Bye-bye." "Work hard!" "I bought it only yesterday and it fell off." "It got broken after just one use." "Look, the stones are gone." "I want a new one." "But you checked it before you bought." "The elastic got loose as soon as I put it on." "But you didn't have the problem yesterday." "Dad, please stop drinking." "Why should I stop drinking?" "You think you're better than me because you join tug of war team?" "Tell you what." "As a father," "I feel ashamed to tell anyone my daughter is a tug of war player!" "What a shame!" "What are you talking about?" "If you're so capable, you go earn money!" "Give me money." "I want to eat." "I've no money." "You ask me for money all the time." "Have you no shame?" "Mom, please stop it." "Why should I stop?" "I work during the day and wash dishes at night." "I even have to take up cleaning jobs at mid-night." "If it wasn't me we'd have starved to death." "When did you ever starve?" "Tell you what." "If I didn't earn any money, how can I raise a daughter so strong that she can play tug of war?" "What are you talking about?" "If you're so capable just give me the money!" "Kuan-Ping, are you alright?" "Hello." "Kuan-Ping, you nearly missed the time." "What happened to your arm?" "I'm sorry." "What happened?" "Kuan-Ping, did your dad hit you again?" "Don't make things up." "Kuxan-Ping..." "None of your business!" "Why did you flare up?" "We just care about you." "Kuan-Ping." "Raise your arm." "It really hurts, doesn't it?" "Amos, get down." "What the hell are you doing?" "Kuan-Ping, come over." "You keep making mistakes." "You're doing even worse than the new girls." "Sir," " Kuan-Ping's hurt." "Did I ask you?" " But there is a reason why her arm is hurt." "Who asked you to answer?" "Her dad beat her so she's hurt..." "An athlete can't afford to get hurt." "What sport do you play?" "Tug of war." "What sport?" "Tug of war." "Tug of war!" "One player gets hurt and it affects the whole team." "Sir, how can you say that?" "Who wants to get hurt?" "You've got too much energy?" "Chun-Ying, shut up." "100 frog leaps." "All of you." "Go!" "Yes, sir." "Count it yourself." "Start!" " Chun-Ying, come on!" "It's all your fault." "Can't you just shut up?" "I'm not going to do it." "I've done nothing wrong." "Suit yourself." "100 more jumps, all of you!" "You want your teammates to do more jumps?" "Chun-Ying." "Li Chun-Ying." "Chun-Ying." "Stop." "Take a rest." "Kuan-Ping, come over." "Your hand." "Hello Grandma, it's me." "Chun-Ying!" "Do you eat well in school?" "Are you doing okay?" "Grandma, I'm doing very well." "We're going to the competition soon so I'll be busy." "I'll come home when I'm on vacation." "Okay." "Be a good student in school." "Don't cause trouble for the teachers, okay?" "Grandma, I know." "I'll call again soon." "Is anyone home?" "Are you?" "Hi." "I'm Kuan-Ping's coach." "Oh, Mr. Kuo." "Please come in." "It's fine." "I come to see Kuan-Ping's father." "I'd like to have a word with him." "I don't know where he is." "Please wait inside." "Oh, it's fine." "I'll just wait here." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Here he is." "That crazy guy over there..." "Hello Mr. Li." "I'm Kuan-Ping's coach." "Excuse me." "I come to talk with you about Kuan-Ping." "There is nothing to talk about." "Please listen to me." "We're going to the competition soon." "Go ahead then!" "I just want to tell you if you hurt her again," "I'll report you to the police." "What did you say?" "I'll call the police..." "What are you doing?" "Mr. Kuo, are you okay?" "I'll get the first-aid box." "Did you see her hands?" "Tug of war players rely on their hands." "How is she going to compete when you hurt her hands like that?" "Their future lies in tug of war." "Pull yourself together." "When you're free, come to see how hard she practices tug of war!" "Mr. Kuo, please stay still." "Let me put some anti-septic for you." "I'm sorry." "Mr. Kuo," "I'm sorry." "You must go to see a doctor." "Mr. Kuo, we've got the official invite to the Chinese Cup Tournament." "What happened to your head?" "You got hurt?" "Thanks." "Good day, sir!" "Attention!" "I'm going to make changes of your positions today." "Hsia An, you're the lead." "Yes, sir." "Chieh-An, second position." "Yes, sir." "Amos, third." "Kuan-Ping, fourth." "Yes, sir." "Fifth, Jing-Ya." "Then Yu-Chiao, sixth." "Seventh, Chia-You." "As usual." "Mei-Ling, the anchor." "Yes, sir." "Chi-Hua, guard the rope." "Go!" "Thank you, sir." "Sir, where should I stand?" "Hurry up, all of you!" "Sir, I want to practice." "Sir, I want to practice." "Please leave the sports center." "I said, "Please L-E-A-V-E!"" "Now!" "Sure, I'll leave." "Even if I can graduate from here," "I might end up running a stall in the night market!" "Chun-Ying, it's not Sunday." "How can you come back?" "Are you hungry?" "Let Grandma cook something for you." "Don't think too much." "Come, have an egg." "Chun-Ying hasn't come back yet." "Isn't she coming back?" "Do you think we should call Chun-Ying?" "What's the use of it?" "Or should we plead with Kuo?" "We?" "Who dares to speak to Kuo about it?" "You." "You must be joking." "Chun-Ying." "Chun-Ying." "Uncle Tien, you're busy working?" "I need someone to help me." "Can you?" "I can't do it." "Yes, you can." "I'll teach you." "Come on." "That's good, Chun-Ying." "You learn so quickly." "Your grandma told me you go to school in Taipei and join the tug of war team." "You can't make a living out of tug of war!" "If you're willing to work you'll always find something." "But I think..." "Like planting the rice seedlings in tug of war to step back is in fact to move forwards." "You have to finish whatever you started." "Believe in yourself and don't be afraid." "Look, the only thing I've done in my life is growing rice but it's nice!" "Yeah, right." "Chun-Ying." "Chun-Ying." "Chun-Ying." "Your classmates called yesterday." "Ms. Wu called just now." "Ms. Wu called?" "What did she say?" "I've cooked you noodles." "Get up and wash yourself." "Breakfast is ready." "Go get ready." "Steady your feet." "1, 2, 3." "Up!" "Together!" "Very good." "Keep it up." "Juniors, you're making good progress." "Come, watch out!" "When you get up you must steady your feet in unison," "Or if you don't..." "Good day, Ms. Wu." "Please give Chun-Ying another chance." "How am I going to give her a chance if she doesn't come back?" "Chun-Ying." "Come here." "Sir, I want to come back to the team." "What are you staring at?" "Did I ask you to stop practicing?" "Keep practicing." "Yes, sir." "Come on, Take the strain." "Pull!" "Sir, I'm sorry." "Please let me come back." "Up!" "The value of tug of war lies in persistence." "Only people who persist can survive." "Look, every player knows his duty and practices hard." "What makes you think you can come and go as you please?" "Sir, please let me stay on the team!" "I'll do the training dutifully." "Everyone, take a rest." "Thank you, sir." "Okay, you say you'll do the training." "You haven't done the 200 frog jumps." "Sir, can I stay when I finish the jumps?" "Fine, you can stay." "But not before you finish 300 frog jumps." "300 frog jumps?" "Thank you, sir." "How many jumps has she done?" "Sir, she's already done 87 jumps." "So another 213 jumps to go." "Mr. Kuo, aren't you being too harsh?" "It's not a problem of me being harsh or not." "This is what we call training." "Everyone here is treated the same." "Can't you tell she's exhausted?" "Ms. Wu, I'm their coach." "I know what I am doing." "Fine, I respect your decisions." "Sir, I'll do it for her." "Sir, I'll help her too." "Li Chun-Ying." "You have to remember this." "Tug of war isn't about individuals." "Everyone is helping you." "Your teammates may become the support you have for the rest of your life." "Do you understand it?" "Yes, sir, I do." "Attention, everyone." "When you finish jumping," "Chun-Ying will be welcomed back to the team." "Thank you, sir." "Thank you, sir." "Thank you, sir." "You can come back." "Stop crying." "Silly girl." "Stop crying" "Thank you all." "Come on, stop crying." "Do you bring the guavas back?" "Enough!" "Are you going to allocate a huge budget to the tug of war team that never wins?" "Ms. Tsai." "We'll raise extra funding for the team." "It's not a problem of fund raising." "Their academic performance is a lot worse than other students." "Can you teachers help the players?" "Is it okay?" "You give them extra lessons." "Excuse me." "I don't agree with Ms. Tsai." "As a tug of war team, they're the best in my opinion." "I'm sorry, Mr. Kuo." "It's not for you to judge if they're the best or not." "There must be good grades and figures!" "Besides, they need good competition results to go on to higher education." "Didn't they lose the game last year?" "Ms. Tsai, you can't deny all their hard work just because they lost once." "This is not fair!" "Even if you win the championship every year, it's still just a domestic game!" "I don't understand why we should keep such a team." "Sorry, Ms. Tsai." "I don't understand what you're talking about." "So you mean the championship in Taiwan doesn't count?" "Yes, it does." "But academic performance is important too." "Don't you think..." "Ms. Tsai, wait a second." "Please sit down." "Enough about this subject." "Let's move on to the next thing." "Slowly." "More slowly." "Take it easy." "Hey, what are you doing at the front?" "Hey." "It's fine if you don't want to study." "Can you not disturb us?" "You love picking on us, don't you?" "You're so loud and you do badly in the classes." "What a waste of resources!" "Such a vulgar bunch." "Hey, you." "Who is vulgar?" "Watch your mouth." "You fatty." "Who do you think you are?" "Weird." "You, vulgar bunch!" "Quiet." "Quiet." "Leave this matter to me." "Tie your hair up!" "Alright, leave it to me." "Don't be so loud, miss." "It doesn't look good." "I know how stressful it is for students." "Let me sing a song for you." "Shut up!" "You good-for-nothing." "You can fool only the students on sports scholarships." "Don't you push your luck!" "I'm going to deliverjustice on behalf of God." "Mr. Kuo is here!" "Good evening, Sir." "Sir, I'm speaking up for tug of war team." "I was going to teach her a lesson." "Go running." "Go!" "Yes, sir." "Stop." "Come over." "Hurry UP" "Are you tired?" "Do you know why I ask you to run?" "You must feel it wasn't your fault at all." "What did the other students call you?" "Students on sports scholarships." "Are you students on sports scholarships?" "Yes..." "Are you?" "Yes!" "You're students on sports scholarships." "I asked to you run because" "I want you to remember your duty." "Understood?" "Yes." "Do you get it?" "Yes." "Sir, but they just..." "Sir, it was our fault." "We know we did wrong." "I'm sorry." "We're willing to run ten more rounds." "Go!" "I miss them again." "I'm with them." "All of you, come over!" "Hurry up!" "Quick!" "The Chinese Cup is coming up next month." "I've arranged you to have special training in Yilan this weekend." "I made a change to the list." "Forth position, Kuan-Ping." "Since Kuan-Ping's hand is injured," "Chun-Ying will stand in." "The rest remains the same." "Any problems?" "No." "Chun-Ying, you have to work hard." "Or you'll be replaced." "Got it?" "Yes, sir." "Dismiss." "Yes, sir." "Is it free to send texts?" "You never stop texting..." "Who pays for text messages nowadays?" "You country bumpkin!" "Would you like some instant noodles?" "Do you need any help?" "I'm fine." "I can do it myself." "I hope it'll heal soon." "It's fine even if I don't play." "Well, as long as you beat the boys." "Cheers." "Hurry UP!" "Take your luggage with you." "Pick up the rope!" "Take the strain!" "Hold it tight!" "Pull, quick!" "Tighten it." "Girls, quick!" "Steady." "Steady." "Pull." "Press it tight." "Push.Push.Push.Push." "Chun-Ying, the rhythm." "You're not breathing in unison with the others." "Rhythm." "Left, right, right, left right, right, left, right." "Stop." "Did you get hurt?" "Are you alright?" "Are you alright?" "Smile!" "Why pulling such a long face." "It's a friendly." "That always happens in a mixed gender match." "But it was bit too easy this time." "Mr. Chen." "Don't look down on the girls." "They just weren't ready." "I didn't look down on them." "How could you win in a situation like this?" "They're not only much weaker but girls." "Mr. Kuo, you think the girls will be beaten?" "Cut it out." "But honestly, your team is stronger this time." "Mr. Chen, do you dare to try again?" "Mr. Kuo, you wouldn't object it, would you?" "Okay, let's do it." "Come on, everyone." "Let's have another game." "She's so fierce." "Pick up the rope!" "Take the strain." "Ready." "Pull!" "Chun-Ying, breathe, breathe." "Feel the other's breathing." "Breathe." "Breathe." "Breathe." "Yes, right." "Very good." "Very good." "Again." "Again." "Very good." "Push.Push.Push." "Mei-Ling, step back." "Breathe." "Chun-Ying, feel the rhythm." "Chun-Ying." "Well done." "Thank you, sir." "Take a rest." "Shame on you!" "Thought you were on a date?" "Yes, I'm talking about you!" "Chen." "You're right." "The girls are indeed weaker." "But you..." "Drink water." "Drink." "Mr. Chen." "You boys have great strength!" "Give you a round of applause." "Congratulations!" "I don't want to let go of it." "It's me who pursues dreams." "Holding pride in my hands," "I'll persist before I get it." " Can't give up." "Hsia An." "I hold not only dreams but darling you and me." "You look so happy." "Come on, let's go." "Nice song?" "Look, I've got the driver's license." "You've the driver's license." "It's so nice." "You can get it too." "For Chris's sake, I'm not 18 yet." "I really want to be 18." "Mr. Kuo says you have to be over 18 to play in the World Games." "That's fine." "We're going to university soon." "We'll play in the University Cup together!" "Sure." "But if I become fat then, you can't abandon me." "But if I become fat then, you can't abandon me." "How it could be possible?" "!" "I love you so much!" "Love you." "Love you, too." "Have you had enough?" "You're so annoying." "Hsia An." "You looking for trouble?" "Hsia An." "Okay, don't be so depressed." "Don't get trapped in the past." "What a joke." "In Taiwan, no one cares about physical education." "Your team is lucky enough." "At least you've got the principal's support." "Look at us..." "Well, forget it." "If they could compete in the int'l games they'll have a better chance." "You're daydreaming!" "I've done the research." "Since the 18th century, no Chinese team has ever entered the quarter-finals." "Ms. Wu, what you're talking about is what I worry most." "By the time they can compete abroad," "I will have retired!" "And you even talk about the outdoor games." "We aren't even qualified for the indoor ones and you're mentioning the outdoor games." "Hey, you two!" "Call yourselves coaches?" "You keep urging your players not to give up." "Now, listen to you moaning like this!" "The players will laugh at you if they hear you like this." "When did we ever give up?" "Or we wouldn't be sitting here, right?" "Okay." "Drink a toast to the future!" "Mr. Chen, thank you for your help." "I didn't help." "I lost." "But you have to go on." "Is it another game?" "You even want this?" "You're being so childish!" "Pick up the rope!" "Take the strain." "Steady." "Pull!" "It's all yours." " Why did you sigh?" "I didn't have smoked duck this time." "You think of nothing but food." "Gosh!" "What happened to our dormitory?" "What happened?" "How are we going to sleep?" "What is this?" "How are we going to sleep?" "Who left these music instruments in here?" "Call Mr. Kuo." "Quick!" "Okay." "Hello, Mr. Kuo." "Many music instruments are stored in our dormitory." "We can't sleep in here." "What?" "How could that happen?" "Sports Center?" "Okay." "Thank you, sir." "Everyone, Kuo asks us to go to the sports center first." "Come on, let's go." "No." "I'll help you up, come on." "1,2,3." "Ma'am, we should care more about them." "Not like how they're treated now." "They even have no place to sleep." "How can they concentrate on the training?" "How can they compete like this?" "I really don't know anything about it." "If I knew, I'd tell you as soon as possible." "Ma'am, I'm sorry." "I got so worked up just now." "I didn't mean it." "Please help us sort out the dormitory." "Thank you." "What's up?" "What happened?" "It's about the team." "Evening, Mr. Kuo, Ms. Wu." "Evening." "Come on, you're exhausted." "Go to bed as soon as possible." "Thank you, sir." "They?" "They"." "...train so hard every day." "It's fine no one cares about them." "Now they even get bullied." "Bullied?" "There must be some misunderstanding." "You know what?" "Every time I look at them, I'd think... if they could compete internationally, they'd have a very different future." "But didn't we see the news on the web?" "The tug of war association says they'd lower..." "Lower the age limit?" "Yes." "Well, it's just a proposal." "No one can tell when that will happen." "Mr. Kuo, think positively!" "You never give up on them." "You'll definitely have the chance to prove yourselves." "Good luck." "Thank you." "Can you give me a ride home?" "Sure, if you pay for the gas." "Sure, if you treat me to late night snacks." "You're so stingy!" "Let's take turns then." "Okay, that's all for today's meeting." "Ms. Tsai." "Wait, Ms. Tsai." "As for the tug of war team..." "Ma'am, please listen to me." "Those music instruments are donated by the Parents Committee." "The vendor sent them in earlier." "I thought the players were training in Yilan so we put them there for now." "In that case, where are they going to sleep?" "Excuse me, I've already asked the workers to move them to the equipment room." "Ms. Tsai, please tell us in advance next time." "Ma'am, we provide them with not only food and accommodation but expensive special shoes." "Do we really have that much money?" "Don't worry, Ms. Tsai, we raised extra funding for the tug of war team." "Please inform Ms. Lin before you make any move in the future." "I'm sorry, Ms. Wu." "I guess you don't know how hard it is to raise money." "Ma'am, I think we should spend money wisely." "Would you consider disbanding the team?" "Good!" "Disband it then!" "Mr. Kuo, please don't be so impulsive." "I agree we should disband the team." "If we take less students on sports scholarships, we can admit more good students." "Ms. Tsai, aren't students on sports scholarships good?" "Are you any good?" "Of course they are!" "What are they good at?" "Enough." "Stop it." "As an athlete..." "Ms. Tsai, please leave us for now." "They're no good at all!" "Mr. Kuo, I understand how you feel." "We must keep the tug of war team." "But it really doesn't matter if they can compete internationally or not." "It feels so good." "You childish brat!" "Hsia-An, we're leaving Yilan now." "Okay, ride carefully." "Call me when you get here." "Okay, see you later!" "Sky lantern!" "Sky lantern!" "Sky lantern!" "Sky lantern!" "I've never seen a sky lantern!" "Are we nearly there?" "Just wait for another second." "We've been riding for ages." "Here they are." "Chun-Ying, your money dropped." "Be careful." "Wait." "What the hell!" "Hsia An." "Hsia An." "What happened?" "Are you okay?" "Are you alright?" "Are you okay, Hsia An?" "You okay?" "I'm fine." "Okay, let's move aside." "What a terrible driver!" "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm okay." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm fine." "Good." "That's good." "Let's go." "Don't get caught by Kuo." "What is this?" "Lion King helmet." "Helmet?" "You sure you're alright?" "Yes!" "Let's go." "So annoying!" "You want mine again!" "That suits you better." "Look!" "Look!" "Ximending." "Let's go to Yangming Mt." "Idiot!" "Yangming Mt. is too far to go!" "Let's go to the shopping mall." "Okay, let's go there then." "Okay." "Let me have some popcorn." "Wow, it's so pretty." "You'll make a great couple!" "What are you staring at?" "You're drooling!" "Keep staring then!" " I wasn't staring!" "Wait for me." "Chun-Ying." "Chun-Ying, are you there?" "Yes." "Yes, I'm here." "What are you doing?" "I can't pull it up!" "Then don't force it!" "But this one looks so cute." "No, you look ridiculous!" "Take it off!" "Really?" "Yes." "Stop it." "If it splits, you'll have to pay for it." "Alright." "Alright." "Do you have a bigger size?" "I'm sorry." "This is the biggest we have." "Thank you." "I'm sorry I don't like it." "Thanks." "Don't you want to try another style?" "No, it's fine." "Never mind." "I don't like jeans anyway." "Then what do you like?" "Miniskirts." "Miniskirts?" "!" "What are you laughing at?" "Am I not allowed?" "You don't like it or is it too small?" "Too small." "You looking for trouble?" "Nonsense." "Hsia An." "Don't touch me." "Don't be angry." "I'll get them for you when you lose weight." "Okay?" "Promise." "Yes, I promise." "I heard that too! Ma'am." "Ma'am good news!" "Look!" "They've lowered the age limit!" "It's lowered to sixteen!" "So we can compete internationally!" "I'm sorry, ma'am." "Even so, they have to win the national games before going abroad, right?" "Besides, who is going to pay for that?" "Ms. Tsai, if we manage to represent Taiwan, can you hold a fund raising dinner for us?" "I..." "Ms. Tsai, thank you!" "No, things like this..." "Ms. Tsai, we'll definitely need your help this time." "Thank you, Ms. Tsai, you're great!" "Thank you." "Attention, everyone." "Ms. Wu has an important thing to announce." "You have the chance to play in the World Games!" "The World Games."

"Come on!" "Mei-Ling." "What?" "You want me to eat your noodles?" "Bring them over." "Thank you so much!" "Hsia An, what's wrong?" "Hsia An, what's up?" "Are you okay?" "Ms. Wu, I ate too much just now." "It's so tough for you." "Ms. Wu, the bun is so big and round!" "Mei-Ling, your face is as round as the bun!" "That's right. it's as round as it can be." "I want to be as slim as Ms. Wu." "I'm so jealous too." "Ms. Wu, you're so skinny." "What's good about being so skinny?" "I admire you girls." "Not everyone can be a tug of war player." "So..." "I'm very proud of you!" "Thank you, Ms. Wu." "Right, Hsia An, are you alright?" "It really hurts me when I see you throwing up like that." "I'm fine, Ms. Wu."
