Kiranoko Family Revisited Again/Transcript

Teenager Troubles
'''Ruth: "In the afternoon, Monique refused to do her social studies homework. As a result, she was sent to the Reflection Room." '''

[Monique is watching The Gods Must Be Crazy on DVD]

Marie-Anne: "Monique, please do your social studies homework and turn off the television. If you don't, you will begin to fail it and be held back a grade."

Monique: "Shut up, woman! I am watching The Gods Must Be Crazy!"

Marie-Anne: "If you continue with your attitude, I will immediately send you to the Reflection Room. Is that clear?"

Monique: "I AM NOT DOING MY SOCIAL STUDIES HOMEWORK, YOU (bleep)!"

Marie-Anne: "OK, it's time to turn off The Gods Must Be Crazy and you will be sent to the Reflection Room and when your time is up, you must do your homework."

[Marie-Anne presses eject on the DVD remote, puts The Gods Must Be Crazy DVD back into its case and switches off both the TV and DVD player]

Monique: "I AM NOT GOING TO THE REFLECTION ROOM, MOTHER! (Bleep) YOU!"

[Marie-Anne sends Monique to the Reflection Room]

Marie-Anne: "You're in the Reflection Room for disobeying me and talking back. Stay there for 14 minutes. And when the time is up, I expect an apology and you need to do your homework. I am also taking away The Gods Must Be Crazy DVD for a week."

[Marie-Anne closes the door and confiscates Monique's The Gods Must Be Crazy DVD]

Monique: "GIVE ME MY DVD BACK, YOU WORTHLESS (bleep)!"

Marie-Anne: "No, you won't until a week has passed. Sit down!"

Monique: "Whatever..."

[Monique reluctantly sits on a couch in the Reflection Room]

[Monique escapes and smuggles a drug]

A chat with Monique's siblings
Ruth: "I wanted to talk with Monique's siblings, which are Sun Wei, Sun Chen, Hans, Satoko, Setsuko, Ania, Adele, Dita, Agape, Alda, Mi-Yung, Akim, Rolf, Elliot, and Matti."

Ruth: "How do you feel when you guys are around with Monique?"

Hans: "Well, she makes our lives a living nightmare."

Ruth: "How so?"

Elliot: "She swears at us, takes our stuff and destroys it, and attacks us."

Ruth: "That's sad to hear."

Setsuko: "Hai, we know."

Ruth: "When she's around you, what do you guys do that does not involve hurting her?"

Alda: "We politely tell her to stop."

Monique turns over a new leaf
Monique: "Stupid parents, I will show you how bullying feels like."

[Monique grabs a sheet of paper, crumbles it into a ball, throws it on the ground and stomps on it 13 times]

Monique: "There, that's better. Now, my apologizies."

[Monique writes "Dear Family, I will take my own angry away, I promise I will be good. Love, Monique Kiranoko" on the piece of paper.]
