Quotes[]
Emery: The Masters. Nice. Eddie: Tiger Woods is dominating the field like a boss. Evan: He's the freaking best. Emery: Wow. He'll be the youngest player to ever win. Eddie: Exactly. Evan: Which is why we can't let Mom find out. Emery: What are you talking about? Eddie: Tiger Woods is half-Asian. Emery: What? He is? I've never heard that before. Eddie: Yeah. Nobody talks about it for some reason. Emery: Wait, but why can't we let Mom find out? Evan: "Why can't we"... This guy wants to know why we can't let Mom find out. Psh. Eddie: You know how Mom gets when she sees an Asian person succeed publicly. Remember Kristi Yamaguchi? Or Michael Chang? Evan: Or Connie Chung? |
Eddie: Mom can't find out. We have to keep this from her. Evan: Agreed. Nobody talks. Jessica: I'm going over to Honey's. Evan: Tiger Woods is half-Asian. He's about to win the Masters. Jessica: What's this, now? One of our own succeeding in the public eye? Eddie: If you start punching yourself now, it'll be easier for you when Mom leaves. Evan: I'll take that into consideration. |
Louis: I'm more lenient than you because I choose to be. My dad was a tough man, and I promised myself when I had kids, I'd be different. Jessica: That's wonderful. I can really see that. All I mean is that Earl and I do a lot of the heavy lifting to push our children to succeed. Louis: And sometimes, kids don't need that. Sometimes, they need their parents to step back so they can find their own interests and talents, because that's also important for success. |
Dave: I love everything about Tiger. Especially that he's an African-American dude dominating a sport full of white guys. Emery: Tiger's also half-Asian. Trent: What? Brian: No, he's not. Emery: It's true. His mom is Thai. That's the brim of her sun hat in background. Walter: None of us have ever heard that. Trent: And we know everything about him. Dave: I've seen Tiger's dad Earl, and he's definitely African-American. Emery: Right. And his mom is Thai. Trent: Come on. Emery: He's half-Asian. Student: Half-Asian? We talking Keanu? |
Eddie: Well, this is exactly what we didn't want to happen. Thanks a lot, Evan. Evan: I was mad at myself too, but look at these clothes. They're like my regular clothes but with an athletic cut. Louis: This is gonna be great, right, guys? We'll work hard, but we'll also have fun. Jessica: Fun? This isn't a cartoon, Louis. We're not mermaids and reggae crabs singing at the bottom of the sea. |
Jessica: Evan, you're golfing with Daddy now. I'm training Eddie. It's nothing personal. I just need to win, and I think he gives me the best chance. Evan: I see. Well, thank you for everything. It's been wonderful working with you. And I wish you the best of luck. I'm gonna pray for seven plagues to befall your house. Jessica: What? Evan: Nothing. Enjoy your time with your first-born son. |
Jessica: You're a better parent than me. Louis: Oh. You're really upset about this. Jessica: I ruined two kids in two weeks. I thought my pushing brought out the best in them, but I've been holding them back. I failed and you've succeeded. Louis: Jessica. Parenting isn't all or nothing. That's what I've been trying to tell you. We share equal roles. The boys are who they are because of the both of us. |
Emery: So, I recently learned that Tiger Woods is part Asian. Reba: No way. If that was true, people would be talking about it. Emery: Well, people aren't. That's why I have to. I pulled a few articles where they only refer to Tiger as an African-American golfer. Reba: Nice file folder. Mead Five-Star in teal. Solid choice. Emery: Anyway, after Tiger got his green jacket for winning the Masters, even his dad Earl said, "Green and black go well together." No mention of his Asian half. It's almost like him being Asian makes the story less meaningful for some reason. I'm not trying to take anything away from Tiger's African-American side, but I just want kids to know about his Asian side. Tiger's a superstar. And we should get to take pride in it too. |
Reba: This is big. Tiger Woods is half-Asian. Emery: Yes, that's literally what I've been saying. Reba: I decided to give you the P.A. mic. We're gonna blow this thing wide open. But listen, when I hit that button, they can't un-hear any of it. Emery: Yeah, okay. That's the point. I want them to hear this. Reba: I mean, you're talking about bringing down the greatest golfer in the world. Emery: We're not talking about bringing him down. We're just saying he's half-Asian. |
Emery: Good morning, this is Emery Huang. And I'd like to talk to you about Tiger Woods, a great golfer we all admire. We all know about his dad, Earl, but I want to tell you all about his mom, Kultida, who is from Thailand. Historic. This is not to take away from Tiger's African-American side, but to paint a complete picture so all Asian kids out there can see themselves in him and make his success their own. |
