Buster: You can't tell which kind of luck you're having when you're actually having it.
Carlos: That's kind of profound.
Buster: Are those firecrackers?
Mora: Oh yeah. There's gonna be lots more.
Buster: Yeah, I love explosions! The louder, the better.
Buster: You know, Mora, if it were me, this would be the Year of the Pizza.
Buster: Hi, Hayley!
Mora: Shh. We'll talk to her after the rehearsal.
Mora: Okay, Buster, we've had our donuts, but now we've gotta hurry.
Buster: Is it okay to start eating now?
Chinese Mother: Dig in, Buster, before it gets cold.
Buster: And the food. Does anybody get to, you know, eat it?
Bo: Tangerines instead of donuts? That's so... healthy.
Buster: I'd like to pour some good luck on my head.
Girl: There is a Chinese donut.
Buster: Great. Would you help me order a dozen?
Buster: How unlucky can I get? I'm doomed.
Buster: I'm in luck. The last bag of chips is mine. (The bag sticks in the vending machine.) Oh no!
This is the second of two San Francisco episodes, the first being "Beats By the Bay."
Wait! I forgot to tell you something I learned in San Francisco: Buster explains that the Chinatown in San Francisco is the oldest one in the United States. It's also where fortune cookies were invented.

Carrie's Mom: It's the largest celebration in California, maybe in the United States, of Chinese culture.
Each year, a massive Chinese New Year's Day Parade is held in San Francisco, California that stretches nearly two miles long.
Mora: Look! Another dragon!
Buster: It looks pretty fierce.
Mora: Well, they've got to be fierce to scare away the evil spirits and get rid of bad luck.
Dragons are a big part of Chinese culture. Some are said to symbolize bad luck, and others are said to ward away bad luck.
Carrie: This is the Chinese New Year and they go by a calendar called the lunar year.
The Chinese mark their years on a twelve-year cycle that is marked by various animals. The Chinese New Year usually takes place in January on the Gregorian calendar and the Year of the Monkey was 2004. Therefore, the events of this episode were filmed sometime around January 2004.
