Chowder, this is the third time I've told you not to take our glasses, so I'm going to have to...PUNISH YOU.
You don't kid around with your punishments.
Hi, are you a mirror?
PPorridge
[rubbing his nose] No. I'm a foreign exchange apprentice. My name is Porridge, and I'm living with Kimchi's family for the summer. Huh. Who are you supposed to be?
I'm supposed to be Chowder, Kimchi's best friend.
PPorridge
Ha! No, who are you really?
Ch-Chowder, Kimchi's best friend.
PPorridge
Well, I guess if you say so. Dinner has already begun.
[Chowder, Porridge, Kimchi and his family eat dinner around the table]
Yes, Kimchi's mom. Yes, I do think Kimchi's...new bride is...beautiful. Just can it, Kimchi. She's got a bag over her head. I bet she's all warty, or has an extra eye.
PPorridge
Actually, Chowder, the rich and ancient culture of Kimchi's people FORBIDS the groom from seeing his bride's face before the wedding.
Wow! So is she burned with acid?
PPorridge
Yes, that is also tradition.
How do you know all this junk about Kimchi's culture? Kimchi never talks about any of this stuff.
PPorridge
That's because Kimchi's ashamed of his culture. Why else would he leave his home and his two loving parents, and always go live with an outsider with weird hat, like YOU?
Is this true, Kimchi? Is my hat weird?
PPorridge
If you were really Kimchi's friend, you would know better than to be friends with him.
But Kimchi always said in his culture, if someone saves your life, you have to be their friend until you can return the favor and save theirs!
PPorridge
[gasps] Are you saying you saved Kimchi's life?
No, for reals.
