"I wanted to make a pit stop."
"At a car wash?"
"I thought the car was looking a little dirty. I miss washing the car with you because it was something we did together back when we had more time for each other. But I was only looking at it from my side. I understand you have your book now and you're busy, and I'm all for that.
"

Louis Huang and Jessica Huang

"The Car Wash" is the thirteenth episode of the fourth season of Fresh Off the Boat. It first aired on January 16, 2018.

Synopsis[]

With Jessica's career as an author taking off, Louis worries that she is losing interest in him and attempts to rekindle the flame under Marvin's guidance.

Quotes[]

Emery: Okay, Evan, you're new to the class, so let me explain something to you: I'm this close to being Ms. Doris' favorite.
Evan: Really? It doesn't seem like she likes you. She told you to put your head down for the last ten minutes of class.
Emery: She knows I get overexcited. I'll admit, she's been a tough nut to crack. But I've almost got that walnut shelled.
Evan: Let me explain something to you. I've been the favorite of every teacher I've ever had. Much like Old Man Santiago, I refuse to be defeated.
Emery: You're out of your league, little man!
Evan: Turn around and get outta here!
Eddie: Whoa, I hear conflict. Are you guys fighting over a girl?
Emery: No, a woman.
Eddie: Oh!
Evan: It's our teacher.
Eddie: Oh. I don't care enough about this to watch it conclude. I'm gonna go see Spice World again. Turns out it was really good. I'm gonna stay for the end credits and everything. Everybody who worked on that movie deserves my respect.
Louis: Jessica normally loves practical gifts, but I think she was distracted by Terry.
Marvin: Who's Terry?
Louis: Her book editor.
Marvin: Wait, is this a male Terry or a female Terry?
Louis: Male Terry.
Marvin: Those are the worst kind of Terrys.
Emery: That's how you got her to like you? By playing trash basketball? You didn't make an extra-credit diorama or come to class early to make sure her chair was ergonomically set?
Evan: When? When did you do that?!
Eddie: Dude, stop trying to kiss up to Ms. Doris. That's not gonna work on her. If you had seen Spice World, you'd realize that life is about trying to find a way to make genuine connections with people.
Jessica: You tried to kidnap me?
Louis: I was going to take you on a romantic picnic. Until you shocked me with the stun gun I bought you.
Jessica: That's how you wanted to take me on a picnic? By sneaking up behind me in a parking lot? You're lucky I didn't have my gun gun.
Louis: You own a real gun?
Jessica: Ah, quit trying to turn this on me. What is going on with you, Louis?
Louis: I'm trying to get us through our 15-Year Itch!
Jessica: "15-Year Itch?" What is this made-up thing? What white friend told you this?
Louis: Marvin.
Emery: This is going on our permanent record.
Evan: Goodbye, Yale. Hello, Georgia Tech.
Mr. Carlson: Hey! No talking in detention. Oh, thanks. I didn't wanna bend down.
Emery: No problem. Do you need anything else?
Mr. Carlson: Yeah. There's, uh... there's lots of penises drawn on the back board. You can try to erase those.
Evan: Of course! If you've got any spray, I can also hit the faint outlines of the shadow ones.
Jordan: Can I help empty the trash can?
Mr. Carlson: Nice try, Stripes.
Jordan: My name's Jordan.
Mr. Carlson: Stop trying to humanize yourself, okay, Stripes?
Emery: Mr. Carlson was so thrilled, he ripped up the detention slips and let us go.
Evan: Yale is still in play.
Eddie: Mr. Carlson from detention? He hated my guts.
Evan: Well, he loved us. Gave us a couple Zippos from the lost and found. Mine has a shamrock on it.
Emery: Anyway, we just wanted to say thank you.
Eddie: For what?
Emery: You told us to be regular. This is our regular.
Evan: Ms. Doris may not like us, but as long as 99% of authority figures do, that's still an A-plus.
Emery: Not everyone has to like everyone.
Eddie: Word. Did you guys know Mom has a gun?
Jessica: It's hard to believe the Michelin Man is made up of a bunch of these.
Louis: Huh. I never really thought about that, but yeah. Why is he white, though? Shouldn't he be black?
Jessica: Let's not get into that whole thing. We're having a nice time.
