anything she wanted;
:08:02
the best piano prodigy
this side of China.

:08:12
I never practiced.
:08:14
Lucky for me, old Mr. Chong
couldn't tell the difference.

:08:17
He'd gone stone-deaf
over the years.

:08:29
Me and Beethoven,
we both hear it in our head!

:08:40
Okey-dokey.
Now, how many sharps...

:08:44
how many flats?
:08:47
- What key are we in?
- Z major.

:08:49
- What? Good.
- Z major!

:08:54
Now, for the recital...
:08:57
more feeling...
:09:00
more gusto!
:09:11
I'm a girl and by me
that's only great

When I was young,
Auntie Lindo...

:09:21
was my mother's
best friend and archenemy.

:09:24
Their weapons of choice
were comparing their children.

:09:28
Mom was sick of hearing
Auntie Lindo brag...

:09:30
about her daughter Waverly, who
was Chinatown's chess champion.

:09:34
That night Mom figured
I'd redeem her...

:09:37
- with my international piano debut.
- I ask my daughter...

:09:41
"Help me carry grocery."
:09:44
She think this too much ask.
:09:47
All day long she play chess.
:09:50
I dust off all her trophy.
Appreciate me? No.

:09:55
You lucky you don't have
the same problem.

:09:57
My problem
worser than yours.
