Quotes
-
Mrs. Kim : [to David, in response to his request to take Lane to the prom] "Let never day nor night unhallowed pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done."
[he leaves, confused]
Mrs. Kim : [the next day, David confronts Mrs. Kim]
Dave Rygalski : I stayed up all night. I read the entire Bible cover to cover. I don't know what it means.
Mrs. Kim : David...
Dave Rygalski : You have to tell me what it means. Is it "yes?" Is it "no?" I can't feel my right elbow any more. I don't even know why, but I... I can't.
Mrs. Kim : David!
Dave Rygalski : [pleading] Please. Just tell me. I'm so tired.
Mrs. Kim : It's not from the Bible.
Dave Rygalski : What?
Mrs. Kim : It's Shakespeare. Hevry VIth. I like to goof off now and then too, you know.
Dave Rygalski : Shakespeare?
Mrs. Kim : That is a very difficult thing to do, reading the Bible in one night. I myself have only done it three times. You need great determination and excellent light. I'm very impressed.
Dave Rygalski : [he looks at her expectantly]
Mrs. Kim : All right.
Dave Rygalski : All right what?
Mrs. Kim : You can go to the prom, but you can not get married.
Dave Rygalski : That seems fair to me.
[the quotation is from Henry VI, Act ii, Sc.1]

Mrs. Kim : [talking to relative at a Kim wedding] Ming-Jei. Look good. Lost weight. Not so fat.

Dave Rygalski : A few weeks ago you told me that Lane had a crush on me. Well, I have a crush on her, too. Now, I know you have very strict rules about dating and boys, but I just want you to know that I'm a good person. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I've never gotten a ticket, I'm healthy, I take care of myself, I floss. I never watch more than 30 minutes of television a night partly because I think it's a waste of time and partly because there's nothing on. I respect my parents, I do well in school, I never play video games in case they do someday prove that playing them can turn you into a serial killer. I don't drink coffee. I hate soda because the carbonation freaks me out. I'm happy to give up meat if you feel strongly about it. I don't mind wearing a tie. I enjoy playing those hymns on my guitar, and I really, really want to take your daughter to the prom.
Dave Rygalski : [Mrs. Kim doesnt say anything] Mrs. Kim? Please don't make me repeat that list again.
Mrs. Kim : Let never day nor night unhallow'd pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done.
Dave Rygalski : Okay, thank you.
Dave Rygalski : [Dave and Lane walk outside] Did you hear what she said?
Lane : Yes, I did.
Dave Rygalski : What did it mean?
Lane : I don't know.
Dave Rygalski : Was it a yes, was it a no?
Lane : I'm not sure.
Dave Rygalski : Well, it's gotta be from the bible, right? So I'll just go home, do some research, look on the Internet, see what I can find. I'll call you when I know something.

Mrs. Kim : Watch it. You break it, you buy it. Ten percent off for cousins, twenty percent off for nephews and nieces.
