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.

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.
