Transcript
(Title and episode production credits appears. We pan from the mountains to the streets of the village, where see the Vinet family walking)

Maggie Vinet: Daddy, why did we have to move from Albany to China?

George Vinet: Oh Mags, we came here because your mom was transferred from the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem to the consulate here.

Jojo Vinet: Besides, we'll have a lot of fun in this village.

(Transition wipe to Dongwa walking on the palace wall)

Dongwa: *sigh* Dealing with the shock of being diagnosed as autistic is troublesome.

(The Vinets walk into the palace courtyard. The Magistrate, Tai-Tai, and his staff are waiting for him)

The Foolish Magistrate: Ni hao Mr. and Mrs. Vinet! Oh, and Maggie too!

Tai-Tai: Welcome to our village!

George Vinet: Hello Mr. Shan-Tai-Yeh Soon! You do know our daughter has autism?

The Foolish Magistrate: Yes indeed! We have a cat named Dongwa who was diagnosed with autism 3 days ago!

(Transition wipe to Maggie in the garden)

Maggie Vinet: *sighs* No-one understands me half the time.

(Dongwa runs up)

Dongwa: Hi?

(Maggie turns around and looks at Dongwa)

Maggie Vinet: My oh my! I see a extraordinarily cute cat and he looks real... real soft.

Dongwa: Name's Dongwa.

Maggie Vinet: Oh! So you're the cat with autism, right?

Dongwa: *sadly* Yes.

Maggie Vinet: I have that condition too.

(Pang runs up, barking)

Maggie Vinet: Oh my! You have a doggy too?

(Maggie begins to rub Pang's belly as she rolls over)

Dongwa: Well, actually, four of them. That's Pang, she's a sleeve dog, and her brothers are Ping and Pong. We also have Cha-Siu, a dog adopted by my Uncle Miao and his wife Mei-Mei.
