Nick Young Quotes

(On the airplane..)

Nick Young: I always imagined what me proposing to you would be like. You know what? I had it all planned out. I’d bring you to my favorite spot on the island. There’s a hidden trail that I used to go to as a child. Now there’s a cove there that opens up to this beautiful lake. When the sun hits the horizon, I’d get down on one knee. And the rest of the world would fall away. Because it would just be you… Because it’s just you… I know this is a far throw from a hidden paradise. But wherever you are in the world, that’s where I belong. Rachel Chu, will you marry me? And make me the happiest man in this world?

Passenger: Yes! Yes! Yes! She will marry you!

Rachel Chu: Yes!

(Nick is explaining how to make the dumplings…)

Nick Young: You put the baby in bed. You tuck, tuck, tuck. Same on the other side. You give him a kiss good night.

Rachel Chu: That’s so cute. And then you eat the baby.

Nick Young: Then you eat the baby after he’s cooked.

Rachel Chu: No, you gotta make sure he’s cooked. Did your Ah Ma teach you that?

Nick Young: She did.

Oliver T’sien: I, on the other hand, was taught by Grand-Auntie Mabel. You put the Botox in the face, and then you pinch, pinch, pinch. Then, voila!

Nick Young: When we first met, you had no idea who I was, who my family were. You didn’t care!

Rachel Chu: Yeah, I don’t care about that stupid stuff.

Nick Young: Well, exactly. You are so different from all of the women that I grew up with. And I love who I am around you. I don’t want that to change. And that’s selfish, I know. I’m sorry that you had to deal with that on your own. But I’m here now. Whatever happens, we’ll get through it together. Dead fish and all. All right?

Rachel Chu: It was so gross. But I buried it.

Nick Young: You dealt with it.

Rachel Chu: So your family is, like, rich?

Nick Young: We’re comfortable.

Rachel Chu: That is exactly what a super-rich person would say.
