Quotes12

  • Jacob: They need to see me succeed at something for once.
  • Monica: For what? Isn't it more important for them to see us together?
  • Jacob: You go ahead and do what you want. Even if I fail, I have to finish what I started.
  • Jacob: Remember what we said when we got married? That we'd move to America and save each other?
  • Monica: I remember.
  • 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: We should plant some minari. It'll grow well down by the creek.
  • Jacob: I'll think about it.
  • Soonja: What's there to think about? I'll just plant it.
  • Jacob: Americans... Believing that nonsense! David. Korean people use their heads. Okay? We use our minds.
  • Jacob: Come here. Look. Take a look at this. Look at the dirt. Look at the color. This is why I picked this place.
  • Monica: Because of the dirt color?
  • Jacob: This is the best dirt in America.
  • Jacob: You're fast enough for Arkansas.
  • Jacob: See. It's a tornado watch, not a warning. We worried for no reason.
  • Jacob: David? Never pay for anything you can find for free.
  • Jacob: David! Daddy's going to make a big garden!
  • Monica: Garden is small.
  • Jacob: No! Garden of Eden is big! Like this!
  • Jacob: This is how you farm in America. Why are you laughing?
  • Monica: So, it's not a garden. It's a farm.
  • Jacob: Garden, farm, it's all the same. Just think of it as growing money.
  • Monica: Mom, it's bad enough you're in this hillbilly place.
  • Jacob: Why 'hillbilly' place?
  • Monica: It's hillbilly, so David lost all his manners.
  • Jacob: Just because you're from the city doesn't make you better.
  • Soonja: You two will fight over anything!
