Released Segment #1

 * Song Peili: Tomorrow is about giving respect to the forbidden lovers, Niulang and Zhinü. The only time they get to see each other again is on the Qixi Festival! We also have to burn paper as an offering to them.
 * Song Hui'er: But they're not real. It's just a story adults tell kids.
 * Song Gao: What do you mean, Hui'er? Of course it's real! Just look at those two stars; that's Niulang and that's Zhinü!
 * Hui'er: Please, Dad, those two are just Vega and Altair. The people who made the story up was probably just confused.
 * Song Lian'er: Sis, stop disrespecting Mama and Baba! And everyone else in this village.
 * Hui'er: Seriously, you too, Lian'er? Don't you want to major in Astronomy? You're gonna learn that it's just a myth sometime in the future!
 * Lian'er: (whispering) Even so, I think it's important to respect our culture. (stands up and carries her bowl of rice into the kitchen)

Released Segment #2

 * Hui'er: Ah! Who are you?!
 * Zhinü: Shouldn't we be asking the same question?
 * Niulang: What did you do?
 * Hui'er: What do you mean?
 * Niulang: Why did the Queen Mother banish you here?
 * Hui'er: Banished? I wasn't banished!
 * Zhinü: So why are you here, then? The Silver River—
 * Hui'er: Milky Way?
 * Zhinü: Precisely. Anyway, the Milky Way is for "criminals" like us.
 * Hui'er: Umm, what?
 * Zhinü: I'm Zhinü, that's Niulang.
 * Hui'er: The Cowherd and Weaver Girl?
 * Niulang: Yes?
 * Hui'er: No no no, that's impossible. It's just a story; the Milky Way consists of stars, not criminals.

A Weaving Tale (Song)

 * Zhinü:
 * Once we were ordinary
 * But now we're nothing but a simple story
 * At least to you, apparently


 * But I flew down one day
 * To the Mortal Realm, that day
 * I wanted nothing more
 * Than to be more! (tal)


 * Hui'er (speaking):
 * Um, okay, why do I need to know this agai—


 * Zhinü and Niulang:
 * You need to realize
 * We're Niulang, Zhinü up above the skies
 * We aren't telling lies
 * We swear!
 * We're not weaving tales
 * We were just waiting for the magpies
 * To make our trail
 * Every year (every year)


 * Niulang:
 * But then there came that day
 * That day those men came
 * We begged for mercy but they split us apart
 * To each side of the Milky Way


 * Hui'er (speaking):
 * But you guys are together now?


 * Zhinü:
 * Yes, so luckily
 * They finally gave us mercy
 * To see each other annually


 * Zhinü and Niulang:
 * You need to realize
 * We're Niulang, Zhinü up above the skies
 * We aren't telling lies
 * We swear!
 * We're not weaving tales
 * We were just waiting for the magpies
 * To make our trail
 * Every year (every year)
