P: Hey, Jon. What is Mr. Chu's son's latest film called? Never…
J: Never Say Never.
P: Never Say Never! Is it like a Bond film?
J: Eh… Not exactly.
K: Who's the lead actor?
J: Justin Bieber. Do you…? No? The Taiwanese media doesn't cover him? Hey, B. How do you say "Justin Bieber" in Chinese?
B: I dunno…
J: He's a teen pop star.
K: Ah.
J: Duck is by far the tastiest meat. Duck, lamb, chicken, beef, pork in that order.

J: I didn't think I needed a smartphone until buying cheese today.
A: What kind of cheese?

F: Sophie, show Uncle Jon.
J: Show Uncle Jon what? Oh. A cupcake creator iPhone app.
She put a menorah on her cupcake.
J: Did you create all of these cupcakes?
Another cupcake, another menorah.
J: Sophie, this isn't candles. Well, it is, but…
Why is a menorah a cupcake topping option?
J: Hey, Robert. We didn't get fortune cookies. Can I get…? Give me two, so I can opt to pass on the first fortune Showcase Showdown-style. Thanks.

"The star of riches will shine on you beginning next month."
Figures that I receive this fortune at the beginning of this month.
