字號(hào):

They go to the sports park to set off the sky lantern
    Morley: I know what I'm going to wish for.
    Kathy: What's that? A new girlfriend?
    Morley: No. That I can be an aikido master like you.
    Kathy: Ha-ha. You know, these lanterns were originally used in wars.
    Morley: Really? Did they set them off as a signal to attack?
    Kathy: No, the Han Chinese in Pinghsi used them to let women and children know that it was safe to go home after an attack by the aborigines.
    Morley: No wonder they came to represent peace.
