  [gestures toward Robertsons]

  [pats Blanca on the shoulder] 

  Mike Baxter : I feel blessed to be sharing this country will all of you. Want to do the honors?

  [gestures to Brody] 

  Brody : Sure. Let's pray. Lord our God is one God. We pray that we love you with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and we pray that we love our neighbor as ourself. There is no greater commandment than this. Amen.

  Mike Baxter , Vanessa Baxter , Mandy Baxter , Eve Baxter , Kristin Baxter , Kyle Anderson , Boyd Baxter , Uncle Ray , Blanca : Amen.

  Mike Baxter : All right.

• Vanessa Baxter : Boyd is learning Spanish at his new school.

  Blanca : And I will say, with *that* they are doing a very good job.

  Mike Baxter : Why are they teaching him Spanish in the first grade?

  Vanessa Baxter : Well, honey, it's a bilingual school. The teacher says everything in English and then says it again in Spanish.

  Mike Baxter : So you work twice as hard to learn half as much.

  Vanessa Baxter : Or they are learning twice as much because they're learning another language.

  Mike Baxter : How do they even understand "twice as much" if there's no time for math?

• Mike Baxter : Hi, Blanca.

  Blanca : Welcome home, Mr. Mike. I have your favorite, a frosty mug and spiced nuts on the tray.

  Mike Baxter : Thank you. You know when an American woman serves your nuts on a tray it means somethin' totally different.

  Blanca : But, Mr. Mike, an American woman did serve nuts to you.

  [points to American flag pinned to her apron] 

  Mike Baxter : No way. Oh, congratulations.

  [hugs Blanca] 

  Blanca : Thank you.

  Mike Baxter : That is such good news.

  Blanca : It's good to be here, I mean to *really* be here.

  Mike Baxter : Now you're part of the club. Confidentially, at the Alamo, we weren't really trying.
