baoyu, casually at dinner: when i die, everything will be gone. who cares about the future?
baoyu's mother, casually side stepping the signs of her son's depression: you're so silly haha
baoyu: everyone's fate is uncertain. who knows when one could die? i could die today, tomorrow, or next year...
baoyu's mother, to everyone else in the room: lmao don't mind him
