• Soonja : Penis broken!

  David : It's not called a penis, it's called a ding-dong!

• David : There's a Korea smell! Grandma smells like Korea!

  Anne : You've never even been to Korea!

• David : What's that?

  Jacob : That? Male chicks are discarded there.

  David : What is 'discarded'?

  Jacob : That's a difficult word, huh? Male chicks don't taste good. They can't lay eggs and have no use. So, you and I should try to be useful. Okay?

• Soonja : Here. Try some.

  David : I don't want it.

  Monica : Drink it. Grandma brought it from Korea.

  Soonja : That's it!

  David : I don't want it.

  Monica : It's expensive. Drink it all. Good! Such a good boy!

  David : Grandma...

  Soonja : Yeah?

  David : In the future, never, ever bring this again.

  Monica : Stop, David. You'll drink one cup every day.

• David : I'm not pretty! I'm good-looking!

• David : Mommy... Sometimes, I dream I'm peeing in the bathroom, but I wake up in my bed.

  Monica : Then ask yourself before you pee: Is this a dream? Is this a dream? And pinch yourself like this! Okay?

• David : Can I sleep over at his house?

  Monica : You should sleep at home, with Grandma.

  David : But I don't like Grandma!

  Monica : Don't say that.

  Johnnie : No? Why can't you? Why?

  Soonja : Broken ding-dong. Ding-dong broken.

• Anne : We shouldn't be so far out here. David.

  Soonja : It's fine! Just a little further. This would be a great place.

  Anne : Grandma. We shouldn't be here because of the snakes.

  Soonja : Do you even know what minari is? You stupid Americans. I brought some minari seeds from Korea. We can plant them right over there.

  David : I'm going down.

  Anne : David!

  Soonja : The minari will grow well here.

  Anne : David, come up here now! I'm telling Mom.

• Anne : David, go change. It's time to go.

  David : Where?

  Anne : Church picnic. Grandma, please help him change.

  Soonja : Who cares what a little boy wears?
