Mom had picked up FW from school, and they had parked next to a coffee shop, where they apparently stayed for a while. These recordings start after they finished and was returning back to Mom’s classroom.
(NOTE: Some of the audio, especially FW’s voice in some parts, is very low in volume. I had to use VLC Player to play back the videos using headphones at 200% volume in order to be able to hear a lot of it. For parts which I am unclear as to what is being said, I have put the words in [square brackets] or denote as [xxx].)
| S . no | Party | Dialogue |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | (Long period of apparent silence. Voice starts at 01:28 of the file, or 16:29:09 based on the video timestamp.) | |
| 2. | Daug. | Arrrrgggghh…. [will you marry already?] |
| 3. | Resp. | I don’t want to, FW! I am financially able. Yah, I am confident, and I’m happy. Right? |
| 4. | Daug. | I want [xxx]… |
| 5. | Resp. |
Why do I want… Why? FW, trust me, OK? Yah, it would just mess up our lives, OK? FW the more you imagine you’re missing something, the more you’re going to feel the emptiness. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. I feel I’m complete. Hell man, do not add any burden on me by having a stupid husband. OK? Do you understand that? Do you understand… FW it’s not what you think, yah? OK? I want him to die. That’s what would make me really happy. That would complete me. Then I would feel REALLY complete. I don’t, I don’t feel I [xxxx] thing. I feel like, wow, I feel relieved, OK? Really, honestly, I feel relieved. I mean, if Popo dies and he dies, then life would be… TRANSCENDENTAL. |
| 6. | Daug. | (moans) |
| 7. | Resp. | What? |
| 8. | Daug. | I like Daddy… |
| 9. | Resp. | FW you don’t need it! STOP IMAGINE, FW, IF YOU FEEL THERE’S SOMETHING MISSING THEN IT WILL SHOW IN YOUR DEMEANOR, YOUR CONFIDENCE, AND EVERYTHING. YOU ARE NOT MISSING!! RIGHT?! I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR BOTH OF US, RIGHT, WHAT’S MISSING? |
| 10. | Daug. | Maybe that’s the reason why I don’t have confidence… |
| 11. | Resp. | Well FW then start having confidence… |
| 12. | Daug. | Give me a Daddy! |
| 13. | Resp. | FW, No! I won’t! FW, I’m two parents combined. OK? Trust me, OK? |
| 14. | Daug. | Why…. |
| 15. | Resp. | FW, trust me on that. OK? Right now at least we have confined the arguments that we’ll only have in the house is between you and me, with no one else, you see? That’s already much better than before, OK? He finds little things to pick on me, and it’s really stupid, OK? Even when I speak to you, remember? Right? I don’t pick on him and every time I speak to you whenever there’s anything he doesn’t like to hear, or maybe he picks on me on purpose, OK? Yah? Remember, you forgot how unhappy I was. |
| 16. | Daug. | Why is it about you [and not me]… |
| 17. | Resp. | FW! If a household, that’s what they say, if a household has an unhappy mother usually the household would not be happy, because the mother is the one who dominates the household. |
| 18. | Daug. | Yah, but the CHILD is the one the household is for. |
| 19. | Resp. | Yes, well it’s for everybody. |
| 20. | Daug. | So you need to look at MY HAPPINESS!! |
| 21. | Resp. | So you’re saying that before when you see like [Barney/Daddy] blaming me for almost everything you’re happy? |
| 22. | Daug. | No, I’m just saying he brought more happiness than he got rid of. |
| 23. | Resp. | FW, most of the time he just let you do whatever you want, that’s not happiness, that’s indulgence. |
| 24. | Daug. | No… no not even that part. I don’t care about the times that he indulged me. I care about the times when he actually did stuff with me. |
| 25. | Resp. | And I do stuff with you! |
| 26. | Daug. | You don’t! You don’t even exercise or play badminton or anything… |
| 27. | Resp. | I didn’t? FW it’s raining, what am I gonna to do? |
| 28. | Daug. | In the parking lot. |
| 29. | Resp. | FW! Really? As soon as we do that I’m sure people will call on us, call security on us. They already said, OK? |
| 30. | Daug. | People even play in 五合一 (main lobby), 二合一 (tower lobby)… |
| 31. | Resp. | 二合一? Where is二合一? Huh? Where’s二合一? That’s fine! Cos there are no cars, yah? If you get run over by the car then they’ll say 活该 (serves you right), they’ll say, who told you to do it there? |
| 32. | Daug. | Well then play in二合一! |
| 33. | Resp. | SURE IF YOU DO YOUR WORK!!! I TOLD YOU ALREADY!! IF YOU SAVE YOUR TIME INSTEAD OF RESTING YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME!! RIGHT?! YOU ALWAYS… |
| 34. | Daug. | Mom, you always yell at me. |
| 35. | Resp. | You always [xxx]…. |
| 36. | Daug. | You always yell at me. |
| 37. | Resp. | FW, you always… |
| 38. | Daug. | You always yell at me. |
| 39. | Resp. | Only when you pick issues with me. |
| 40. | Daug. | STOP YELLING AT ME! |
| 41. | Resp. | Only when you pick issues with me first. |
| 42. | Daug. | I didn’t even pick any issue with you. |
| 43. | Resp. | Didn’t you say… |
| 44. | Daug. | What issues did I pick with you?! |
| 45. | Resp. | That I don’t spend time with you. That I don’t do things with you. |
| 46. | Daug. | No… I only said that Daddy does more things with me. |
| 47. | Resp. | Of course, FW, he has all the money in the world and the time… |
| 48. | Daug. | Yah! SO I’M NOT WRONG! So don’t yell at me. |
| 49. | Resp. | But had you said it with the understanding, Mommy I understand the reason you’re not doing as much is because you have to support me… |
| 50. | Daug. | Yah! Well I said it with an understanding tone, I can’t help it if you can’t pick it up. |
| 51. | Resp. | Well, OK, maybe if you [xxx] |
| 52. | Daug. | I already did. That was my understanding tone. I’m a work in progress. |
| 53. | Resp. | OK alright then. I’m sorry for mishearing your understanding tone. |
| 54. | Daug. | You’re welcome- yes, I mean, it’s OK, I forgive you. |
| 55. | Resp. | [xxx] |
