Television (Full Length) – 2006

Research shows 95 percent of New Zealanders gamble. Seventy percent of gamblers in Christchurch are Asians. In Auckland it's 80 percent. 
– Reporter Milda Emza, in part one
...people've got to die sometime, so whether you die now or later doesn't really matter. When you die, that means your mission is over. But for me I believe in eternity of life; I believe in karma.
– Actor Yvonne Tan on her terminal cancer diagnosis, in the third clip
I decided to play bass because my sister played guitar, so we could make music together. And then when I was 13-years-old she unfortunately and very sadly passed away from leukemia . . .  I thought 'it's a shame that my sister never got to make music; I'm going to do that for her. I'll go out there and do those things that she always used to tell me about.'
– Musician Mailee Mathews, near the end of the first clip
It's something I've never really done. I've got nothing against it. Some people can do it and they can do it really well, and make really funny jokes about being Māori or Pasific Island or Indian. It's something that I've missed.
– Comedian Jerome Chandrahasen on not making jokes about his ethnicity, in clip two
