Quotes 

• [Rory tells Lane about her first kiss] 

  Rory : Oh my God, He kissed me.

  [Mrs. Kim comes up to the girls] 

  Mrs. Kim : Who kissed you?

  Lane : The Lord, Mama.

  Mrs. Kim : Oh, OK then

  [Mrs. Kim leaves] 

• [Jess is eating a sandwich at the dance marathon and Mrs. Kim walks up to him] 

  Mrs. Kim : Who are you?

  Jess : I'm Jess... ma'am.

• 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.

• Zach : [singing]  I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.

  Mrs. Kim : Very nice. You may now take a fifteen-minute break while we finish our tea. Also, good time to retune.

  Brian : Was she looking at me?

  Zach : She wasn't looking at me, dude.

• Mrs. Kim : Boys don't like funny girls.

  Rory : Noted.

• [Mrs. Kim is angry that Dean has come over unannounced] 

  Mrs. Kim : You're science partners?

  Lane : Yes Mama, I invited him over to work.

  Mrs. Kim : Work?

  Lane : On our science project.

  Mrs. Kim : [very suspiciously]  Reproduction?

  Lane : Spores, molds and fungus.

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