Episode Quotes
 
Kimi: (About ice-skating) But I can teach you right now. It's exactly like this... only on ice.
Chuckie: Remind me to read you the definition of "exactly."
 
Kira: (in kimono) It's almost like... going back in time. (bows, rips kimono) Apparently very far back.
 
Trevor: Oh, and Tommy, am I supposed to bring anything to dinner on Friday? Your mom invited me.
Tommy: You know my mom?
Dil: Yeah, she took T and me shopping for chicken jerky this afternoon.
Tommy: Wait, you're calling him "T" now?
Dil: It's the least I could do after he adopted me as his surrogate brother.
 
Phil: Call me crazy, but that kid looks kind of familiar.
Tommy: Maybe 'cause he sits next to you in every single one of your classes now. He's new.
Dil: Or 'cause he's rolled by 26 times in the past 10 minutes. Twenty-seven.
 
Phil: Oh! Can we eat already? I'm starving.
Chuckie: No. In Japanese culture, it's an insult to eat before everyone's at the table.
Tommy: This may sound crazy, but you know what I just realized? We're not in Japan!
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
After Dil says: "Or maybe it's because he's rolled by 26 times in the past 10 minutes," look at Trevor's hair while he comes back around. His hair is yellow.
 
In the beginning of the episode, when Kimi is sitting at the computer in the Java Lava and Chuckie is taking notes on their family history, the pen is in Chuckie's left hand. A few scenes later, the pen switches to Chuckie's right hand.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Episode Title: Memoirs of a Finster
The title of this episode refers to the novel Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden about a young Japanese girl who emerges from poverty to become a famous geisha in the 1930s and 40s.
 
Chuckie: We can always cash in on our humiliation by submitting the tape to America's Dumbest Home Videos.
An obvious reference to the show, America's Funniest Home Videos, where people can submit home videos that they think are funny.
