「诚如各位所知，我是李敏寧(lily)的导师；同时是刘可蓉(ariel)的英语指导老师。我十分清楚自己的责任与权责。我已明确表示，且不只一次，充分理解自己该做的事、责无旁贷；并且，准备好採取任何实际行动──要是採取法律动作，亦会从旁协助，如果本人必须在场。本委员会，纵使我已再三声明，仍不断妨碍我履行职责。既然现在，校长，女士，您在场。我想重申：『对你各位大失所望──』」

「自己去请个通译嘛──才不管咧──我该说的话，就大声、清楚讲出来。懂的就懂──管我讲哪国话，老师。只要你各位专心听，而不是在那边，又要叫嚣、又要嘘，要我闭嘴──啊、哦，又来了──拜託几类，让我讲完……」

「『我一直在想像，所有小朋友在一座大麦田里玩耍。好几千个小孩。没人在看──没大人，就我。然后，我就站在扯到爆的悬崖边。该怎办？我就得接住每个小朋友，要是他们跑起来，衝向悬崖──要是他们顾着乱跑，都不看跑去哪，我就得跳出来，接住他们。整天这样搞就饱。我就负责当麦田捕手。我知道听起来扯到爆，但就只有这件事，我得去做。』」

「我来跟你讲，各位同仁以及尊敬的长辈同事，我很后悔；此时、此刻，被要求『得』出席这场毫无意义的会议；不是说，我得陪你各位懦夫扮家家酒；也不是说，我得坐在会议室里，讨论某些无关紧要的事项，比如说，『校誉，』或者说，所谓的『应对当前公关危机的举措，』之类的，然后『浪费我的时间！──』喔、喔──」
