在“Freeman”餐廳裡，老鷹對茉莉花說，“你們住在東亞大陸的人工作如此地辛苦，你們不願意花時間設計、發明與創造新產品，你們只願意做美國產品的代工，你們只願意生產廉價的產品，你們只願將自己變成廉價的勞工，你們不覺得你們的文化有問題嗎？”茉莉花以手做了自刎的姿勢後說，“在中華文化的世界裡，每一個人從小開始，他們的‘Individual dignity, self-confidence, independent thinking and creativity’就被父母踐踏光了，他們就是奴了，他們就死了，他們如何能有足夠的‘Individual dignity, self-confidence, independent thinking and creativity’去進行‘文化設計、發明與創造’呢？”
老鷹驚訝地說，“你們不讀《Holy Bible》？你們不知道‘All Human Beings Are Created in the Image of God’(ex. love, justice, wisdom, goodness, kindness, fortitude, prudence, etc.)與‘All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.’嗎？”
