They need to see me succeed at something for once.
Monica
For what? Isn't it more important for them to see us together?
Jacob
You go ahead and do what you want. Even if I fail, I have to finish what I started.
Jacob
Remember what we said when we got married? That we'd move to America and save each other?
Monica
I remember.
David
What's that?
Jacob
That? Male chicks are discarded there.
David
What is 'discarded'?
Jacob
That's a difficult word, huh? Male chicks don't taste good. They can't lay eggs and have no use. So, you and I should try to be useful. Okay?
Soonja
We should plant some minari. It'll grow well down by the creek.
Jacob
I'll think about it.
Soonja
What's there to think about? I'll just plant it.
Jacob
Come here. Look. Take a look at this. Look at the dirt. Look at the color. This is why I picked this place.
Monica
Because of the dirt color?
Jacob
This is the best dirt in America.
Jacob
This is how you farm in America. Why are you laughing?
Monica
So, it's not a garden. It's a farm.
Jacob
Garden, farm, it's all the same. Just think of it as growing money.
