- Soonja: Minari is truly the best. It grows anywhere, like weeds. So anyone can pick and eat it. Rich or poor, anyone can enjoy it and be healthy. Minari can be put in kimchi, put in stew, put in soup. It can be medicine if you are sick. Minari is wonderful, wonderful!
- Soonja: Penis broken!
- David: It's not called a penis, it's called a ding-dong!
- Soonja: You're crying again? Because of anchovies?
- 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: There's a Korea smell! Grandma smells like Korea!
- Anne: You've never even been to Korea!
- Soonja: Stop, David! Leave it alone! It might crawl away and hide! David. It's better to see it than to have it hide. Things that hide are more dangerous and scary.
- Monica: I'm sorry you have to see how our life is now.
- Soonja: Why? Because the house has wheels? It's fun!
- 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: I'll try to be a real grandma from now on.
- Soonja: Who cares if I drank a little pee? It was fun!
- Monica: She doesn't look like a grandma? Oh! Really?
- Soonja: What a good boy! I'll give you a present for that compliment!
- Soonja: Getting hurt is all part of growing up.
- 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.
- Soonja: The wind is blowing and the minari is bowing. They're saying thank you very much!
- 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.
- Jacob: You're fast enough for Arkansas.
- Jacob: See. It's a tornado watch, not a warning. We worried for no reason.
- Paul: We'll grow them the Arkansas way.
- 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.
- Monica: What's in it?
- Soonja: Anything good for you. It has everything, even deer antlers.
- Soonja: They come to America and forget everything.
- Jacob: David? Never pay for anything you can find for free.
- 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.
- Monica: But Jacob... Things might be fine now. But I don't think they will stay that way. I know this won't end well, and I can't bear it. I've lost my faith in you. I can't do this anymore.
- Soonja: I heard American kids don't like sharing their rooms.
- Monica: He's not like that. He's a Korean kid.
- Mr. Harlan: Let's give 'em a big Arkansas welcome!
- Randy Boomer: Now, let me tell you, with farming these days, you gotta go big or go home, that's just how it is.
- Jacob: David! Daddy's going to make a big garden!
- Monica: Garden is small.
- Jacob: No! Garden of Eden is big! Like this!
- Mrs. Oh: I've never seen anyone as fast as Mr. Yi. Must've made good money in California.
- Monica: He did. But I wasn't fast enough to work there.
- Mrs. Oh: How long have you been working?
- Monica: About six months.
- Mrs. Oh: In any case, you're fast enough for here. You came to the right place.
- 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.
- 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?
- Soonja: There's another one. So fat! That man is so fat! Look at him!
- 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!
