Storyboard Text
- Problem: Amy's crush, Robert, was coming over for Christmas Eve dinner! "What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas?
- OH NO!!!
- Robert and his family will be joining us for Christmas Eve dinner!
- I must pretend I don't like him!
- Event 1: "And then they arrived ... Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence."
- Amy, you remember Robert!
- Oh, yeah, Robert! Hi!
- Hello.
- What kind of "Christmas" food is this?
- Event 2: "On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu."
- Event 3: Dinner threw me deeper into despair. ...
- It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied!
- BURP!
- Climax: "Then my father … plucked out the soft meat... offering me the tender fish cheek … I wanted to disappear.
- Fish Cheeks! Amy, Your favorite!
- Resolution: " It wasn't until many years later – long after I had gotten over my crush on Robert – that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson"
- You want to be the same as American girls on the outside. But inside you must always be Chinese. You mustbe proud you are different.
- Your only shame is to have shame!
