    laotions kahn and minh move in, and hank does not particularly like them. bobby starts liking their daughter, 'kahn jr", or connie. hank thinks, because dale mentioned it, that they feed on dogs. this seems to be true when hank can not find lady bird. good episode and one of my favorites of the first season. it isn't the best story line or the funniest episode but it is a personal favorite of mine for some reason. overall my grade for this episode would be an A+, i really like this episode and think it is a great, well-written offeringmoreless

    I just think that it is so typical for southerners to be dumb headed rednecks. They are really dull in the head and this episode proved true to reality. I didn't like this episode and I have to say the only reason I watched it was because I got tricked into thinking I was going to see a better episode. This one had so many flaws that I am almost ashamed to even watch the show during the first season. The one thing that was even passable was the half hour. Overall, I have to say this was bad. Thank you.moreless

    Hank and Peggy go out of their way to make the new neighbors feel welcome but Kahn, Mihn and Connie J.R. aren't used to such hosptality. Kahn has spent the last two decades in competitive high priced California and Mihn is a genuine Soccer Mom. They both have insulting manners and it's taking a little bit of time to work out the kinks. Halfway through the episode, we see that Kahn strongly suspects Hank of racism because Ladybird is a purebred Georgia Bloodhound and will only be mated with another such purebreed. Hank insists that he doesn't like Kahn the man ("it doesn't matter where he's from"). Eventually things work themselves out, though it will always be a race with the jones's next door as far as Mihn and Kahn are concerned.moreless

    ADD QUOTES
    • Khan: (Sees Hank outside his window yelling) It's that crazy red neck again. Why is he so mad? Did we do something wrong? Minh: You're the one who insulted his propane. Khan: You're the one who made fun of Peggy Hill's monster feet.

    • Hank: Welcome to the neighborhood, Kahn (struggling with the last name) Soup-ha-nous-in-phone. Kahn: Just call me Kahn...I don't got all damn day.

    • Hank: uh uh, Peggy I can't go I won't not after what he said about Ladybird. Peggy: Oh, Hank come on. Now Minh, and I just made up, we have to go. And if you stay home people will think that you don't like Khan just because he's oriental. Hank: That is ridiculous I hate the man, because he's rude and nasty. Not because of what his people did to us in WWII. Peggy: Well I know that, but everyone else will say that Hank Hill is a racist. Hank: What the Hell kind of country is this where I can only hate a man if he's white.

    • Minh: (seeing Peggy's rabbit stew) God! You rednecks eat anything!

    • Peggy: Do you think my feet are too big, Hank? Hank: Oh no, sweetie. There's...just more of you to love. (Hank takes a step closer and he and Peggy are a good 12 inches apart) Peggy: Ow. (Hank looks down and realizes he stepping on her huge feet) Hank: Oh, sorry.

    • (furious about the jokes Minh made about how big her feet are) Hank: Oh, she was just kidding, honey. Peggy (enraged): It... it doesn't matter. You-you don't go over to a woman's house and insult her feet. You-you just don't.

    • (deleted scene) Hank: Dale, you're right. Their dog is gone, all gone! Bill: There's no leftovers?

    • Minh: Hello, dog pound? (Hank looks over) I'm looking for dog. Sweet, sweet dog. We had big barbecue and dog run out. About 20 to 25 pounds.

    • (Grabs one of Peggy's shoes) Minh: Wow Peggy Hill! What big feet you have. Like boat. Peggy: Well this is how God made me. (Peggy looks down at her large feet and clenches her toes in)

    • Hank: Oh, I get it, just because I'm from Texas I must be a redneck... Chinese and their damn stereotypes.

    • Bobby: So,your name is Kahn Jr.? Connie: Yeah. My dad wanted a boy. Bobby: Yeah, my dad did too.

    • Hank: Look at this recipe. It says a quarter pound chopped meat, not chopped dog. Dale: Dog is meat.

    • Khan: Howdy? What is this? Howdy howdy howdy. I'm not going. Minh: Try not to piss off neighbor. We kicked out of Laos, we kicked out of Anaheim, I'm tired of running. Kahn: I could stay home with a bucket of KFC and watch Hee-Haw. Same thing.

    • Minh: (trying on Peggy's shoes) Hey, I'm like little girl playing dress-up in Mamma's shoes!

    • Hank: How many burgers do you have under your belt, Dale? Dale: Zero. Hank: How come? Dale: I don't eat dog.

    • Hank: So are you Chinese or Japanese? Kahn: I live in California last 20 year, but first come from Laos....We Laotian. Bill: The ocean? What ocean? Kahn: We are Laotian! From Laos, stupid! It's a landlocked country, in southeast Asia. It's between Vietnam and Thailand, OK? Population 4.7 million! Hank: So are you Chinese or Japanese? Kahn (in disgust): D'oh...

    • Khan: ( reluctantly accepting a gift of propane from Hank) You honor me, by giving me gas.

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Hank: (about his dog, Ladybird) She's a purebread Georgia Bloodhound. Her mama tracked down James Earl Ray. James Earl Ray is the man convicted of shooting and killing Martin Luther King, Jr.

    • The title is a play on the movie West Side Story. Kahn's Doggie is a West Highland White Terrier or Westie for short. The brief "romantic" interest between Doggie and Hank's (Georgia) Bloodhound Ladybird resembles the romance between two principal characters in West Side Story (Tony and Maria) and the eponymous pair Romeo and Juliet the Shakespearean starcrossed lovers who originated it all.
