• Mary : All right, Tam. I decided I was gonna make you a real Texas dinner: bar-b-que chicken and brisket.

  Tam : Thank you.

  Mary : Well, I figured you were probably tired of stuff wigglin' around on your plate. OK, let's say Grace. Now, Tam, when I say 'Jesus', feel free to say the word 'Buddha' in your head.

  Tam : I'm actually Catholic.

  Mary : Oh. Well, that's too bad.

• George Sr. : [Sheldon's new friend is having dinner with the Coopers]  So, uh, Tam... what kind of name is that?

  Tam : Vietnamese, sir.

  George Sr. : Sure. I spent a little time over there. Army. Your Mom's name isn't Kim Lee, is it?

  Tam : No, sir.

  George Sr. : [seeming relieved]  Good, good. I mean, yeah. It's a small country. So... Mary, how's that food comin'?

  Mary : [from the kitchen]  Almost.

  Georgie : So, Viet Nam. Like in Rambo.

  Tam : Yes.

  Georgie : That's a cool movie.

  Tam : Yes.

  Georgie : Are you in it?

  Tam : No.

• Tam : [telling the story of his family's escape from Viet Nam]  After the war, my father was sent to a re-education camp... When he was released, we escaped on a small boat and spent many weeks at sea, dodging Cambodian pirates, until we reached Thailand.

  Mary : Oh, that's supposed to be a beautiful country. Lovely beaches.

  Tam : I wouldn't know. We were forced to live in a refugee camp where the only thing we had to eat were pigeons and rats.

  Georgie : Hahhh, that's a job for hot sauce.
