Max Bright:
I'm gonna go throw some britches on before somebody gets sick.

Max Bright:
What's there to discuss, because I 100% approve of Mai Ling, totally approve. So what's to discuss?

Mr. Wroth:
Mai Ling has to approve of you.

Max Bright:
Oh. Oh. Well, that's fair... What do I gotta do, drop my shorts?

Max Bright:
Lady experts really trained you?

Mai Ling:
Yes.

Max Bright:
For thousands of years...

Mai Ling:
I'm only 28 years old.

Mai Ling:
Spirit in toilet very friendly.

Max Bright:
[to caretaker] The next time you see me, you forgive me if I don't hold up my end of the conversation.

Mai Ling:
Why are Americans so passionate about family arranged marriages?

Temple:
Western families, they don't spell-out what the marriage should be, they do however procure airtime, prenuptials, spelling out to the last silver teaspoon who gets what, should the thing belly-up.

Mai Ling:
You have now reached the end of your journey. You are safe.

Max Bright:
You let a man suck your dick?

Arlis:
Well... I didn't tell my dick.

Max Bright:
Men want to marry their mothers: someone who will do anything for them and expect nothing in return.
