358
00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:19,609
MARY: Almost.
359
00:14:19,610 --> 00:14:21,709
So, Vietnam, like in Rambo.
360
00:14:21,710 --> 00:14:23,809
- Yes.
- That's a cool movie.
361
00:14:23,810 --> 00:14:24,750
Yes.
362
00:14:24,751 --> 00:14:25,849
Are you in it?
363
00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:27,979
- No.
- Hmm.
364
00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:31,019
Why would you think you knew his mom?
365
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:32,989
MARY: All right, Tam.
366
00:14:32,990 --> 00:14:35,959
I decided I was gonna make
you a real Texas dinner.
367
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,529
Barbecued chicken and brisket.
368
00:14:37,530 --> 00:14:38,510
Thank you.
369
00:14:38,511 --> 00:14:40,229
Well, I figured you were probably tired
370
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:42,129
of stuff wiggling around on your plate.
371
00:14:42,130 --> 00:14:44,290
Okay, let's say grace.
372
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:45,999
Now, Tam, when I say "Jesus,"
373
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,069
feel free to say the word
"Buddha" in your head.
374
00:14:48,070 --> 00:14:49,269
I'm actually Catholic.
375
00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:52,009
Oh. Well, that's too bad.
376
00:14:52,010 --> 00:14:53,889
Thank you, God, for this food,
377
00:14:53,890 --> 00:14:55,430
and bless the hands that prepared it.
378
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,409
And thank you so much
for Sheldon's new friend.
379
00:14:58,410 --> 00:15:00,779
ALL: Amen.
380
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:03,480
So, Tam, tell us about your family.
381
00:15:03,490 --> 00:15:05,059
What brings y'all to Texas?
382
00:15:05,060 --> 00:15:07,149
Well, after the American War...
383
00:15:07,150 --> 00:15:08,459
You mean the Vietnam War.
384
00:15:08,460 --> 00:15:09,959
We call it the American War.
385
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,309
- Hmm.
- Anyway,
386
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:12,959
after the war, my father was sent
387
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,399
to a reeducation camp
388
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,809
because he fought on the wrong side.
389
00:15:15,810 --> 00:15:16,860
You mean our side.
390
00:15:16,870 --> 00:15:19,469
I was trying to be nice.
391
00:15:19,470 --> 00:15:21,220
So, for many years,
392
00:15:21,230 --> 00:15:22,959
my mother and my sisters and I
393
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,309
were very poor
394
00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:26,639
and very often didn't have much to eat.
395
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,759
Then, when he was released...
396
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,849
What'd they teach him
at the reeducation camp?
397
00:15:30,850 --> 00:15:32,079
How to be a communist.
398
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,049
Cool, like in Rambo.
399
00:15:34,050 --> 00:15:35,219
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
400
00:15:35,220 --> 00:15:36,439
When he was released,
401
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,289
we escaped on a small boat
402
00:15:38,290 --> 00:15:41,859
and spent many weeks at sea
dodging Cambodian pirates
403
00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:43,739
until we reached Thailand.
404
00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:46,670
Oh, that's supposed to
be a beautiful country.
405
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,929
- Lovely beaches.
- TAM: I wouldn't know.
406
00:15:48,930 --> 00:15:51,099
We were forced to
live in a refugee camp,
407
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:54,339
where the only thing we had
to eat were pigeons and rats.
408
00:15:54,340 --> 00:15:56,430
Ha! That's a job for hot sauce.
409
00:15:58,170 --> 00:15:59,549
Finally,
410
00:15:59,550 --> 00:16:01,509
we were allowed to come to United States
411
00:16:01,510 --> 00:16:03,109
and start over in Galveston.
412
00:16:03,110 --> 00:16:06,079
My father saved money and
bought his own shrimp boat.
413
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,780
There's a happy ending. Huh?
414
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:10,919
See, kids? When the going gets tough,
415
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,289
- America provides.
- TAM: It did.
416
00:16:13,290 --> 00:16:16,059
Until the Ku Klux Klan burned our boat
417
00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:17,729
and chased us away.
418
00:16:17,730 --> 00:16:20,190
You gonna put a good spin on that one?
419
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,059
So we came to Medford
420
00:16:22,060 --> 00:16:24,069
and opened up a convenience store.
421
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:26,499
My parents work 16 hours a day,
422
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:28,239
seven days a week
423
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,420
for very little money.
424
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:37,730
Well, that was depressing.
425
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:46,130
I don't understand why it didn't launch.
426
00:16:46,140 --> 00:16:47,539
Me, neither.
427
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:50,869
Evil Nazi scientists
did it 50 years ago.

How hard could it be?

operation in Canada

Okay, maybe it's not a mistake.

It's ridiculous.

He's just a little, itty-bitty thing.
