Tam quotes from Young Sheldon

George Cooper Sr.

(Sheldon's new friend is having dinner with the Coopers) So, uh, Tam... what kind of name is that?

Tam

Vietnamese, sir.

George Cooper Sr.

Sure. I spent a little time over there. Army. Your Mom's name isn't Kim Lee, is it?

Tam

No, sir.

George Cooper Sr.

[seeming relieved] Good, good. I mean, yeah. It's a small country. So... Mary, how's that food comin'?

Mary

[from the kitchen] Almost.

Georgie Cooper

So, Viet Nam. Like in Rambo.

Tam

Yes.

Georgie Cooper

That's a cool movie.

Tam

Yes.

Georgie Cooper

Are you in it?

Tam

No.

Mary Cooper

All right, Tam. I decided I was gonna make you a real Texas dinner: bar-b-que chicken and brisket.

Tam

Thank you.

Mary Cooper

Well, I figured you were probably tired of stuff wigglin' around on your plate. OK, let's say Grace. Now, Tam, when I say 'Jesus', feel free to say the word 'Buddha' in your head.

Tam

I'm actually Catholic.

Mary Cooper

Oh. Well, that's too bad.

Tam

You know, sometimes you sound like a super villain.

Sheldon

[excitedly high-pitched] Silence!

Tam

That'll be more effective after your voice changes.

Sheldon

[Tam steps away. Sheldon sighs]

Sheldon

Silence!
