Turning Red

"How could she? [growls as her sadness turns to fury] How could she do this to…her own… mother?! [her talisman pendant necklace breaks, releasing her red panda spirit as it merges into her body; everyone steps back in horror as she rises in mid-air with her eyes glowing red] MEI-MEI!!!"

"Mei-Mei! [angrily picks up her daughter] You are in big trouble, young lady! (Meilin: Mom, let go!) I'm shutting this down, RIGHT NOW! Everyone, GO HOME! Where are your parents?! Put some clothes on!"

"Get back here! (Meilin: MAKE ME!) You think you're so mature! Lying to me! Blaming me! How could you be so…so… CRASS?!"

"[as Panda Meilin twirks her butt at her; disgusted] What are you doing?! Stop moving like that!"

"I see you, Mei-Mei. You try to make everyone happy but are so hard on yourself. And if I taught you that…I'm sorry. So, don't hold back. For anyone. The farther you go, the prouder I'll be."

"This thing's hungry all the time. [starts feeding her digital pet red panda] Eat up, little one. Oh, you're so hungry. Munch, munch, munch."

"Hold on. You're not going out like that, are you?"

"[to Meilin] We love you Mei."

"[to Meilin] Panda or no panda, no matter what."

"Guys, if we can't all go, then none of us should go... Right?"

"Mei, what if you didn't do the ritual? What if you kept the panda?"

"Oh, no. 4*Town's the same night as the ritual?"

"Tickets to 4*Town are like, a bajillion dollars, and Devon's right here. (Abby: And free!)"

"Sick. I've always wanted a tail."

"Uh… This says Toledo."

"LET'S BURN THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND!"

"4-Town's coming to Toronto!"

"WHAT THE HECK IS TOLEDO?!"

"[rooting for Meilin as she fights Mingzilla] DESTROY HER WITH YOUR BIG BUTT!"

"(Meilin: Hey, Grandma.) Poor dear. It must be so difficult keeping that unruly beast at bay. Your family is here now, Mei-Mei. And we will take care of everything."

"I know how hard it is to keep the beast in. It feels so good to let it out. So free. But each time you do, the stronger it gets. And then you'll be bound to it forever, and the ritual will fail."

"Your mother and I were close once, but the red panda took that away. I couldn't bear to see that happen to you. So no more panda. I know you'll do what's right."

"Ming, this is a critical time. Mei-Mei needs a strong hand now more than ever. Don't let her out of your sight. (Ming: I won't, Mother.)"

"[looks up and sees 4-Town logos projected by searchlights in the sky] What is that?! (Ming: Um, I think it's coming from the SkyDome, Mother.) [scoffs in disgust] Four is the worst number."

"Long ago, the spirits blessed the women of our family with a great challenge. Mei-Mei, tonight is your turn. Like all the women around this table, you too will banish the beast within and finally become your true self. May Sun Yee guide you and keep you safe."

"[after Meilin abandons the ritual and dashes off to the SkyDome, deciding to keep her panda] This is a disaster! Unbelievable! Ming! (Lily: Too good to be true.) How could you let this happen?! She's out of control!"

"Sun Yee give me strength. [transforms into her red panda]"

"You don't have to apologize. I'm your mother."

"[turns to the viewers, wearing a red 4-Town pendant; annoyingly disgusted] So unlucky."

"Set in Toronto between 2002 and 2003, Turning Red centers around Meilin "Mei" Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian. One morning, she is horrified to discover that whenever she gets too excited or stressed, she poofs into an eight-foot-tall red panda, but can turn back, if calm. Soon Mei later learns that her ancestors have a shared history with the species as a family curse. Soon she must try maintain her new lifestyle as a teenager."
