oh my queen said the royal sorcerer to

hachipset

with this amulet you and your

descendants are endowed by the goddess

!sis with the powers of the animals and

the elements you will soar as the falcon

soars run with the speed of gazelles

and command the elements of sky and

earth

three thousand years later a young

science teacher dug up this lost

treasure and found she was heir to

the secrets of !sis and so unknown to

even her closest friends rick mason and

rennie carroll she became a dual person

andrea thomas teacher

!sis

dedicated foe of evil defender of the

wake

champion of truth and justice

extra right there

if only you had gone to chinese school i

i could tell tea from ginger root but

then i wouldn't have as much time to do

the things i'm really interested in

like chemistry

you did not tell me you win

i i i was getting around to it

you are not pleased i am

about the award

the ceremony doesn't mean anything

julie

julie

what about the invitation forget about

it it's going to be a dull boring waste

of time

and i don't want to put you through that

hassle

i wouldn't go myself if i didn't have to

hello julie

oh

hi your friend oh yes this is my father

renny

hello remy so glad to meet you mr chen

oh i see you got the invitation i hope

you come

i am very proud of julie

and i am honored good i'll tell miss

thomas thank you

and excuse me

[Music]

i know i should explain

right

you lied to miss thomas and mr mason now

when your father comes to school you'll

have he's not coming to school but he

just said my father's different he has

old customs old ways

you know how people are they won't

understand i think they will i can't

take that chance i love my father i

don't want to put him in any situation

where

he'll be laughed at julie you're wrong

my father is not coming to school

i'll say that the awards were cancelled

so don't say anything

please

[Music]

you forgot your teeth

uh

i didn't know

it is i who did not know my daughter you

don't understand perhaps it is you who

do not understand

but i am proud of you

[Music]

julie

don't you think this has gone far enough

it's my problem

look you're getting in deeper and deeper

i know you won't like this but i phoned

your father you what

i thought you were my friend i am julie

and it's the duty of a friend to do

what's right

so i asked your father to come to the

awards you had no right

what did he say

he said he'd love to come

but not until you ask him

please julie ask him

i wish i could

but i can't

he'd be out of place his language the

way he dresses

i can't really not to think you're

selling your father's short

and your friends too the way a person

speaks or the way he dresses those

aren't the important things

the way a person is that's all that's

important

i can't help it

it's the way i feel

just leave me alone rennie

i have to think things over

i wish i'd never won that dumb award

julie

[Music]

hello kim lab miss thomas

oh miss thomas i am sorry to bother you

it is julie

i have not heard from her since this

morning

she promised she would come home early

to help me

she hasn't been in school this afternoon

excuse me mr chen

rennie do you know where julie is

may i speak with mr chen

mr chen

this is rennie

i told julie that you and i had talked

and she was very upset

said she wanted to go and think things

over

yourself

goodbye mr chen

[Music]
