Mary: Well I think they can all be problems.
Trang Nguyen: [in Vietnamese] Just agree with her and she'll go away!
Le Nguyen: I'm sorry, I agree with you. I will talk to Tam.
Mary: Oh, good. Thank you. Well, bye. Nice meeting you.

Le Nguyen: So what is the problem with this game?
Mary: The problem is, it goes against the teachings of the church.
Le Nguyen: All right. Listen to me. A problem is starving to death in a Communist reeducation camp. A problem is not seeing your family for many years while you remove land mines from the Ho Chi Minh trail. A game boys play with make-believe demons, not a problem.

Mary: Excuse me, Mr. Nguyen?
Le Nguyen: Yes?
Mary: Hi, you don't know me. I'm Sheldon's mother.
Le Nguyen: Ah, the smart boy.
Mary: Yes, the smart boy.
Le Nguyen: You are lucky. To have a smart son is a great joy. I do not have that joy.
Mary: Oh, I'm sure that's not true.

Pastor Jeff: Come on up here, Sheldon. Let's hear what you got.
Sheldon: I've spent the last week studying what people believe, and I've come to a conclusion.
Pastor Jeff: And what's that?
Sheldon: I'm starting my own religion.
Pastor Jeff: I'm sorry, what?
Sheldon: I'm calling it Mathology. It's based on a universal binary system.
Pastor Jeff: That's terrific, Sheldon, but this is a Baptist Sunday school.
Sheldon: I know, I'm here to convert everybody. Any takers?
Pastor Jeff: Okay. Let's go have a talk with your mom.
Sheldon: The only sin in Mathology is being stupid.

Pastor Jeff: Okay, "What God means to me." Who'd like to go first? Billy.
Billy Sparks: I'd like to go third.
Pastor Jeff: All righty.

Adult Sheldon: My mother didn't believe in elves, fairies, or dragons. But she did believe in the devil. And she did not view him as an appropriate playmate for her son.
