She is worldly and she knows too much, but this curse of lost innocence turns out, in a corrupt world, to be Zhao Pan-er's virtue.

-(Lee Attar)

She is able to judge peoples characters clearly, and is knows that this marriage will lead to trouble.

but they are out to gain

whatever little edge they can;

corrupt of morals, every one,

false in action, rash in deed.”

Her sense of moral justice is being stated and restated in this zaju. We see this courtesan female character as a moral standard in the story.

These lines from the beginning of the play not only foreshadow some plots for the audiences, but also reveals Zhao Pan-er's intelligence.

“I’ll make these powdered cheeks of mine rescue your daughter-cadaver, I’ll risk myself, in spite of all”

I think this line reflects Zhao’s strong dedication to save her friend Song. Such strong determination was not necessarily associated with prostitutes in traditional Chinese society.

Also, Janis heavily critiques Lindsey Lohan for falling into the mean crowd. However, she also helps her come into herself at the end of the movie. Zhao Pan'er does the same with Song Yin-zhang because she simultaneously berates her for her silly decisions yet also helps her redeem herself and get the divorce papers.

"I've explained each detail to Your Worship

to split greedy man from suffering girl." In this case, the greedy man is Regina George, and the suffering girl is Lindsey Lohan.

(Jack, Wilson)

just a no-good dancehall girl, fickle in heart and always

meaning other than what I say.

If a guy has visited me a few times, and then I don't ask him for money, he'll think, "This girl's a golddigger."

I've explained each detail to Y our Worship to split greedy man from suffering girl. If Miss Noodlebrain stops making lifelong vows, in the quarter for lovers

our lovebirds will join once again,

man and wife.

Transactional in her dealings. Honest? Says things how they are so no one is deceived? - Bow

throw tantrums for nothing at all;

we are merchants of illusion, with an eye

to earn interest on our capital- but if one of us gets married,

soon she comes to feel

the jab behind the feint.

And that's a girl who cannot learn from another girl's blunder.

She just knows it!?

"Vigilante Shit" (but they didn't have it one here)

"Anti-hero"

"if he'll sign the divorce papers, that'll be it. But if he won't sign them, then I'll give him a few pinches here and a little fondling there and a few hugs and a few squeezes till his whole body melts like butter and goes completely numb."

I feel like this song goes along with what she's talking about in this scene. While she plans her manipulation, there's also an edgy vibe, and I feel like this song could played during the background of the scene.

having no one to support her;

and second, being so used to the road,

I've a special pity for travelers;

and third-well, craving a drink myself,

I take pity on a drunkard.

It shows her good character of pitying the poor and the old.

It shows her bravery.

It shows her heroic spirit of compassion for her fellow man.
