Our Lovely Asian Daughter

What do you think of this?

Ahhh... It's very nice.

Can you imagine?

Your wedding can be bigger than this.

Lot more people.

Why so many?

So we can show them how happy we are.

Congratulations, Lisa.

Don't I look like the perfect bride?

Is everything all right?

You know

traditions this, traditions that.

I wouldn't have married him.

I'll probably have ugly kids.

I mean, look at him.

Uhhh!

You know what?

Don't say anything, okay?

I won't.

Thanks.

Call you.

How much is this blouse?

It's twelve dollars, please.

Can you sell it for eight dollars?

I wouldn't make a profit.

How about nine dollars?

I come here alll the time.

My business has to make a profit.

Hello Ma'am.

I got here a few minutes ago.

After work she comes here to help me out.

She is so sweet.

Too bad I don't have a son. I would

love to have her as a daughter-in-law.

Thank you, but she is naive.

She can barely speak Vietnamese.

If you like I can sell this blouse for ten dollars.

That's fine, please wrap it for me.

But Ii have to add tax to it.

No problem.

It's eleven thirty five total.

Thank you, Ma'am.

Here's your change. Thank you.

Bye.

You should start dating.

People may spread rumor that you are a nun or something.

Mrs. Nguyen has three sons.

The older is an engineer,

and the younger one is

in medical school.

Mom...

I can find my own man.

Nonsense!

You must see three of them first,

and then we talk about your man, okay?

So I heard that you're an engineer?

Yes.

Okay...

What do you usually do for fun?

Not much.

Too quiet.

So basically the difference

between stocks and mutual funds

is like stocks, you're looking at one independent company.

And mutual funds, you're looking at like five or six companies.

I mean, do you know anything about retirement plans, IRAs, Roth IRAs?

I can take care of that for you.

Too intense.

I've had better conversations with a wall.

So here you're a computer programmer?

Yes, I...

Yeah, I majored in computer programming, but

decided medicine was more beneficial to me.

Besides, I like to live the more expensive lifestyle I requires

much more skill and...

So...

No.

Maybe you are a lesbian.

No, Mom.

Why can't you just let me find a man on my own?

I want what is good for you.

Mom, you think I'm so stupid that I'd marry a bum or something?

You are too naive.

You may not see it now, but you will thank me later.

Hey, girl.

Hey, Mark.

What's up?

I went on three dates my mom set up.

Oh, my. Almost sounds like a pre-arranged marriage.

It is.

I can't believe it still exists.

It's common in Asian cultures.

They also look at their children's astrology.

They believe they'll get along.

Betty, do you mind?

It's my story.

I'm sorry, honey.

I get excited knowing that someone's going through this.

Are you ready for marriage?

Eventually.

I'm 29 years old, and I live at home.

I need a life.

So why are you still living at home?

Traditions.

I can't move out 'till I'm married.

So what kind of a man does your mom want for you?

Okay.

Good job.

Good family.

Good background.

Good luck.

So try to bring this kind of guy home before your mom does.

And if you can't meet the right man,

you can always depend on your mother to find you the wrong one.

I didn't know, guys.

I'm kind of nervous.

You know, this is so much better than the nightclubs.

You can weed out the ones that are drunk.

Mm-hmm.

And in a few minutes, young, gorgeous men

are going to get off work and come right here.

Ooh... Ooh...

Here comes a cute one. Here comes a cute jogger.

You better let me do the talking.

For Hein's sake.

Hey, I can still look.

Hi.

Hi.

You're looking good.

Yeah?

Come join with me.

Maybe later.

Oh, come on.

Next time.

All right.

See?

It's as simple as that.

All you do next is get his phone number.

Yeah, too bad he doesn't have an ass though.

Mark! Mark!

I didn't know.

Maybe that accent of yours, helps?

No, no, no, no.

Look, here comes another one.

You try it.

Hi...

You're looking good.

Tramp.

Did you hear him?

Oh, no, he did not.

Oh, yeah?

Us girls don't want to talk to you anyway, okay!

And I don't even know who you're trying to impress with those ugly tattoos.

Keep on jogging.

Let's go.

We could always try the gym.

No way.

I don't even know how you talked me into this.

Let's just go to the Elite.

Let's dance, ladies.

We just got here.

Come on, I like this song.

Hein..., take my jacket.

Alright...

Hi.

Are you talking to me?

Yeah, do you mind if I sit down?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

I'm Robert.

I'm Hein.

Hein?

Hein.

Can I get you guys anything to drink?

Club soda please. Club soda.

Okay.

So do you come here a lot?

Um, actually, no, it's not really new.

It's my first time.

Hey, do you want to dance?

Huh?

Do you want to dance?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Look at them.

Ummm..That's our girl.

Pardon me, Miss Vu.

You could just sign here for me.

Oh, I have a pen.

Thank you.

All right, enjoy.

Wow!

Who sent those?

Stop it.

Robert.

He's so sweet.

You're so lucky.

Stop.

I had a great time.
