su-lin: when i go out i'm always afraid i'll crash into a pregnant woman.
poach: well! that definitely counts as a unique fear.
me: what? you want bus lane, pregnant woman lane....
poach: then what about old people.
su-lin: yes but for pregnant women the consequences are worse...
poach: yes, that's true...

xinyi complaining about her piano teacher who is mean, arrogant and overcharges:

xinyi: it's because he thinks of himself as an artist.
poach: oh, so you think it's his "artistic temperament?"
xinyi: yeah, but if he were a real artist, then he shouldn't care about the money.
su-lin, poach, minzhi: WHOA!
xinyi: but i thought artists don't mind starving in garrets!
minz: i can tell that's a science student talking
poach: minzhi, you have to put this on your blog.
