• David : What's that?

  Jacob : That? Male chicks are discarded there.

  David : What is 'discarded'?

  Jacob : That's a difficult word, huh? Male chicks don't taste good. They can't lay eggs and have no use. So, you and I should try to be useful. Okay?

  Jacob : Why 'hillbilly' place?

  Monica : It's hillbilly, so David lost all his manners.

  Jacob : Just because you're from the city doesn't make you better.

  Soonja : You two will fight over anything!
