:09:00
more gusto!
:09:11
I'm a girl and by me
that's only great

:09:16
I am proud that
my silhouette is curvy

:09:19
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.

:10:01
If I tell June
time to wash dish...

:10:04
she hear nothing but music.
:10:07
It's like you can't stop
this natural talent.

:10:10
Being a girl
:10:26
Until that night,
I didn't believe I was a prodigy.

:10:34
Twerp.
:10:45
In fact, I used to go out of my way
to prove my mother wrong...

:10:48
that I wasn't cut out
to be the best anything...

:10:51
I could only be me.
:10:57
It was incredible. It was like my hands
were possessed by Mozart.
