The scene opens with the sound of the wind rising. The wind is blowing in the direction of Ling's house. Ling is crying because she is so happy. She tells her mother that she is too happy to wake up in the morning. She is afraid that she will lose her job, her career, her changes, and her love for her mother one day. She begs her mother to show her the rabbit ears that she has been wearing. Ling asks her mother if she can wear them with her, but she says she is not suitable for them. The director asks her if she is cute, and she replies that she thinks she is. Ling tells her that the crew of the show has come to her office to ask her to take off her coat. Ling begs her to let her go, but the director says he has to go to the shower. He asks Ling to wait for him at the lot where he works, and Ling says she can come with him.
