Each week
they hoped to be lucky...
:06:05
and that hope
was their only joy.
:06:10
Their connection with each other
had more to do with hope...
:06:13
than joy or luck.
:06:19
- You win like your mother?
- Uh, I only played once...
:06:22
- with some Jewish friends in college.
- Hmph! Jewish mah-jong.
:06:26
Not the same thing.
Entirely different.
:06:30
Now, Chinese mah-jong
very tricky.
:06:33
You have to watch
what everybody throw out...
:06:37
and you keep all this
in your head.
:06:41
And if nobody play well...
:06:45
then the game is just like
Jewish mah-jong: no strategy.
:06:49
You American girls
play Chinese, Jewish.
:06:53
What's the difference?
:06:56
Oh.
:06:59
They were worried.
In me, they see their own daughters.
:07:02
Just as ignorant of all
the hopes and dreams...
:07:05
our mothers brought
to this country.
:07:16
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
No talking in Chinese.
:07:20
- Huh?
- How do I know you're not cheating?
:07:22
- We would not cheat.
- You don't know, but not we.
- Ah.
:07:24
You don't know, but we are your auntie,
and we are very honest people.
:07:29
- We will not cheat you.
- Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe.
:07:41
Hey, June, why you not
take the piano home?
:07:45
You only one who play.
:07:53
When I was nine years old...
:07:55
my mother's version
of believing in me...
:07:57
was believing that
I could be anything...
