- Dre, you're ready? - Yeah, one second.

Oh Dre, I am so excited! It's like we are brave pioneers,

on a quest to start a new life in a magical, new land.

You could say that.

Okay, all right, let's go.

- And don't forget to use the bathroom. - Okay.

Be careful with that guys, okay?

- I'll see you later, uncle Charlie. - C'mon Dre, we can't miss this plane!

Bye guys! We're gonna miss you.

- No man, it's yours. - C'mon Dre, just take it.

Thanks, man!

Okay Dre, c'mon, we have to go. Okay, bye guys!

We'll call you as soon as we land.

- Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to flight CA982. - You got it? - Yeah.

- With our service to Beijing. - Oh Dre look, we are already on lesson ten.

How are you?

- Remember what that one is? - No.

Dre, you're killing me.

Mom, look, in China everything is old. There's old houses, old parks...

old people...Look, this guy is at least four-hundred years old.

Dre, please focus. Okay?

What's your name?

You need to practice. Yeah, you need to try.

No, mom.

- Yes, Dre. Dre... - Mom?

- Ask him. Go ahead. - No, mom.

Ask him "what's your name" and "how are you". Do it, now.

Dude, I'm from Detroit.

What's up?

It's said to meet her at number five.

Mrs. Packer?

- Hi. It's Parker. - Oh, apologies, Mrs. Parker. Welcome to Beijing.

Look! There is Omatek village. Isn't it beautiful?

Yes. I guess there's nothing old in China, huh Dre?

Look at that, Dre. Beverly Hills.

We've always talked about living there, huh?

I think we have talked about the other one, mom.

I got a good feeling about this.

Oh, yeah. You must be the new dude in 305. I'm Harry.

- Hey, what's up? I'm Dre. - Here. Let me help you.

Thanks, man.

- Welcome to the building, Dre. - Thanks.

Can you please explain this electricity card, because we-we don't have these in America.

- Know any Chinese? - Nah.

This is China. Might not be a bad idea.

Oh, that's our park. You should come.

Look at you. Making friends already.

- Hi, I'm Dre's mother. - Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too. You can call me Miss Sherry.

- I'm Harry. - Hi, Harry.

- So, I guess, I'll see you later, then? - Maybe.

Okay, cool. See you.

Ok, this is your rental agreement in English.

So the landlady is Mrs. Wong. Her English is not good.

But if something goes wrong, you go to Mr. Han.

- His English is very good. - Okay.

Okay. So, welcome to Beijing, Mrs. Parker. Um, so I see you tomorrow, okay?

Okay, sure! Thank you. Oh, wait, wait!

Um, you mentioned something about going...

Oh, this is perfect, Dre. Everything we need is in walking distance.

Oh, you know what, we can have lunch together

every day at your school, if you wanted to.

Negative! Not a chance.

Dre, we are not doing this in Beijing.

Dre, pick up your jacket!

Mom, I'm tired, okay? I have airplane lag.

Airplane...

It's jet lag.

I know baby, I got it too.

But, we can't go to sleep. Cause then we'll be up at 2 A.M. You have school tomorrow.

Dre, can you please go find the maintenance man?!

I need to take a shower, and the hot water is broken!

Yes.

Excuse me.

Um, the maintenance man? Mr. Han?

Thanks.

Mr. Han?

Me and my mom, we just moved in. 305. The hot water is not working.

Mr. Han?

Okay. Alright I just come back another time.

Or you can just show me how to do it so, I can get out of your hair.

Um, I can always come back if this is bad time.

- Hey man, you made it. Welcome. - Thanks.

- You play, right? C'mon. - Yeah.

- Us three against them four. - All right.

Pass!

What's up? What's up?

You know, I'm just...

You want this?

You want me to play? You know I have no problem beatin' old people.

Back where I come from they call me "Ping Pong Dre", alright?

I'm going to take it easy on you.

He is really good. I've never seen him lose to anybody.

Yeah.

- Dude. You're gonna talk to her or what? - To who?

- To her. The girl you've been staring at. - I wasn't staring at her, dude.

Yeah, you were.

- You should go talk to her, unless you're scared? - I'm not scared of anything.

Then do it. Go. Come on.

Right now.

Hey, what's up?

I forgot. No English, um...

What language was that?

You speak English? Me too.

- So, what are you listening to? - Bach.

Bach, I listen to them all the time. They are tight. Have you ever heard of this?

Oh yeah, you like it huh, right?!

Great move, one over here.

- Wait, wait it's coming back. - May I touch your hair?

You want to touch my hair?

Um...Sure.

You shoud be practicing.

I'm practicing.

- What you're doing, you won't be needing these. - What's your problem?

Leave it.

Come on, dude.

I said, leave it.

You want to fight?

- Are you okay? - Leave me alone.

I'm fine.

- Dre, dude... - Leave me alone.

Dre, are you ready? Cause we got to be there in like 20 minutes.

I know, mom.

- And you have your uniform on, right? - Yes, mom.

Don't break any rules on the first day.

Okay, come on, I'm waiting for you.

Wait, you don't have to comin', I mean... I can handle it.

Dre, don't be silly, it's your first day.

Plus, we both have to meet the assist principal Mrs. Pong.

I can find her. You need to get to work, right?!

- Are you trying to get rid of me? - No, mom.

Mrs. Pong. Hi, Mrs. Pong.

- Mrs. Parker, we've been waiting. - I'm so sorry we are late...

We just flew from Detroit last night...

- And this is my son Dre. - Hello.

- We only wear uniforms on Uniform day. - Oh, that's my fault.

I didn't have a chance to read the school packages sent to me. Will be better tomorrow.

- And hats are not permitted. - Yeah, I should've read up on the dress code.

- Dre, is that make-up? What is that? - Mom, I ran into a pole.

- No, you have a black eye. You've got into a fight? - Fighting is not tolerated here.

You heard him, he ran into a pole. Come here, Dre.

- Mom, don't start. - Who did it?

Nobody mom, I ran into a pole. I ain't tell you cause I know you would react like this.

Dre, you know I don't play, if somebody hit my baby, I would tear...

I know mom, that's why I don't tell you stuff.

- Just relax, I just ran into a... - Yeah, yeah, you ran into a pole.

Alright Dre, alright, alright. Look, go to class, go to class, but we will talk about this later.

Okay? Alright, go!

- Okay, I love you too. - Okay, have a good day.

- Hi. - Hey!

You know, we only wear uniforms on Uniform day.

Oh yeah, I still got that one.

Thanks.

- I'm Meiying. - I'm Dre.

Sorry about Cheng.

So that's his name?!

- Is he your boyfriend? - No.

- Our parents are very close. - He definitely likes you.

- I have to go practice. - Wait...

- You eat and practice at the same time? - Yes.

But, my mom says if you eat standing up, it gives you gas.

You're funny.

- Come to fix the hot water. - It's in there.

Kid? Kid?!

Did you just hit me in my neck with a toothpaste cap?!

Hot water fine. Flip switch.

Wait half hour, take shower, flip switch off.

Why don't you just leave it on?

- You leave on in America? - We don't have a switch in America.

Get switch, Save planet.

- What happened to your eye? - I ran into a pole.

Interesting pole.

- Dre?! I'm back. - That's my mom.

End it, do the handle, it's messed up.

- Are you ready for school? - Yeah.

- Hey, let me help you. - They have your favorite cereal here, I found it.

Dre, for the one hundredth time, can you please pick up your jacket?

- One second, mom. - No! Not in one second, now!

This programme is about to be over. Give me two minutes.

Dre, I don't care! Come and pick it up now.

- God, how many times do I have to ask you? - Once.

- That's right. Make it happen. - "What's with you and the jacket?!"

- I'm sorry, what was that? - Nothing.

Okay, just what I thought... Nothing.

Thank you.

From the top again.

Okay. It's enough please. You are rushing it. You must play the pauses.

Do you know how important this is for your family? What it will mean for your life?

We have to work this weekend. I'm calling you father.

We continue.

- How that sound? - Almost like a Chinese.
