A Useful Way

Father: Jack, why do you drink so much water?
Jack: I have just had an apple, Dad.
Father: What's that got to do with it?

So close and so unreachable, a luxury high-rise in Mumbai stands aloof from a decaying housing complex occupied by Untouchables. ... Almost the only way an Untouchable can rise in Indian society is to land a government job or university scholarship, available to a few under a federal quota system.

如此的接近而又如此的遙不可及,孟買的一幢豪華大廈冷冷地避開“賤民們”佔據地破敗的居住區……對於印度的“賤民”來說,爬出這個階層的唯一方法只有獲得一個政府部門工作,或者獲取大學獎學金;由於政府的配額限制,這樣的機會也只有少數人能得到。

A Fight 吵架

Eva: How many times shall I tell you? Put ashes in the ashtray, not in a glass.

clark: sorry.

Eva: And the newspapers. Look! You scatter them everywhere.

Clark: I'm sorry.

Eva: How much longer do you plan to watch TV? Don't you have anything else to do?

Clark: Will you stop nagging?

Eva: What?.. You know what you are? You are a lazy bone. You're a born loser. If you'd ever listened to me, we wouldn't be living in this rotten place. You....

Clark: That's enough. Don't go too far. I don't want to have words with you.

EVa: That's because you're a coward.

Clack: Shut up, Eva. Why do you have to be like this? Don't annoy me.

Eva: you can't be annoyed. You don't have the guts. Do you know how much Melody's husband makes? Thirty thousand a year. How much do you make?

Clark: That's because you spend too much, you want too much, and you nag too much. You'll be much more better off if you're content with the life you have now.

Eva: How can you say that to me? I'm not the one to be blamed. You are.

Clark: You're unreasonable.... Where are you going?

Eva: Out! I'll spend the night at Melody's place.

Clark: But how about dinner?

Eva: That's not my business.

I'll Be There For You
Rembrandts

So, no one told you life was going to be this way

Your job's a joke, you're broke, your live life's D.O.A.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear

Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. But

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour

I'll be there for you like I've been there before

I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight

You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great

Your mother warned you there'd be days like these

But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour

I'll be there for you like I've been there before

I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me

Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me

Someone to face the day with, make it through the rest with,

someone I'll always laugh with. Even at my worst, I'm best with you. Yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear

Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. But

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour

I'll be there for you like I've been there before

I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too (Repeat)
