I watched Fresh Off the Boat – Season IV a while back, and I cannot remember anything from that season except that Emery experienced an unlucky year, Grandma Jenny learned English, and Jessica finally finished her novel. Due to this lapse of memory, this introduction is short.
For related entries, please read Fresh Off the Boat – Season I, Fresh Off the Boat – Season II, Fresh Off the Boat – Season II in Jessica Huang’s Words (Mostly), Fresh Off the Boat – Season III A (In the Words of the Huangs), and Fresh Off the Boat – Season III A (In the Words of the Huangs).

Honey: You have no idea how tight my clothes are. There’s no margin for error.

“I can’t believe you’re really at a Hooters, Louis. I am so proud of you.” – Jessica Huang
“You have been doing a child’s Science project! And don’t say Evan. He thinks that glitter is a distraction from quality work.” – Jessica Huang

Eddie: What are you doing?

“Miss Doris may not like us, but as long as 99% of authority figures do, that’s still an A+.” – Evan Huang
“Ah, those two kids are going to make it after all.” – Marvin Ellis
EPISODE 14
“See, boys, it’s just like I’m always telling you. If work hard, sacrifice everything, and look good in a tight bun, you can’t lose. Michelle Kwan is the proof.” – Jessica Huang
“She’s strong, beautiful, and hungry for gold. Reminds me of a young me.” – Grandma Huang
“Tara Lipinski is too busy flirting with boys and wiping Tater Tot grease on her leotard. I mean, look at her face. Does that look like the face of a winner to you?” – Jessica Huang

“Michelle Kwan … lost.” – Jessica Huang

Jessica: She … won!
Emery and Evan: Yes!
“Eddie went out. And I’m going to a midnight showing of ‘Rocky Horror’. There’s a beautiful man in high heels.” – Grandma Huang
“Clearly we’re both tired, and saying things we don’t mean. Let’s just go to bed and we’ll talk about this in the morning.” – Louis Huang
“Tara Lipinski won gold. Michelle Kwan came in second. That’s why they’re doing a special on Lipinski cuts at the mall.” – Honey Ellis
“I can’t believe it. Fake Michelle Kwan.” – Evan Huang
“The railway? How old are you?” – Louis Huang
“Fathers can’t be friends with their sons, not if they want them to grow up to be responsible adults.” – Marvin Ellis
“You have to be the angry bull elephant. Only discipline can bring the herd back together.” – Marvin Ellis
“Eddie, you might be taller than me now, slightly, but I’m still your father.” – Louis Huang
“Grab that brick. We need a door stop.” – Louis Huang
“So Tara Lipinski did replace Michelle Kwan with an impostor! I knew it! There’s no way somebody who works that hard comes in second place. It just is impossible.” – Jessica Huang
EPISODE 15

“I’m sorry I lost my temper and threw glitter at those girls. It won’t happen again.” – Evan Huang

“What is the difference between now and later? If you gonna put in the effort for later why not put in the effort now?” – Jessica Huang

“Fine, I will admit that Evan could benefit from talking to you. But I would need a detailed report on everything he says.” – Jessica Huang
“You have a therapist? That’s like a barber going to a barber to get his haircut.” – Jessica Huang
“Oh, God! Oh, no! He’s having a panic attack. Who has a knock-off Chanel purse he can breathe into?” – Louis Huang
“Is there a child-lock or some safety switch we’re not seeing?” – Emery Huang
“Thank you for almost dying for the chili that bears my name.” – Louis Huang
EPISODE 16

EPISODE 17
“Buddy, I know angry folding when I see it.” – Eddie Huang
“I want to visit you at Stanford, not jail.” – Evan Huang
“I told you I’m not sitting next to the poop. Either the poop is in the front and I am in the back, or the poop is in the back and I am in the front.” – Jessica Huang
“Look at him. So happy. The only thing he loves more than St. Patrick’s Day is Kenny Roger’s. How can I tell him he’s been fired by the man he loves on the day he loves?!” – Louis Huang
Evan: Well, well, well, look who needs his little brother, after all?
Eddie: Really? You bought a bus ticket just to gloat?
Evan: Of course not. I have a pass.
“Oh, ‘I’m Sorry flowers’. What did you do?” – Emery Huang
“I want to visit you at Stanford, not Georgia Tech.” – Eddie Huang
EPISODE 18
“Can we not bring reincarnation into this, please?” – Louis Huang
“Louis, stop grinding your teeth. We spent all that money on a retainer.” – Grandma Huang
“And I have improved throughout my lives, that’s why I am the perfect being you see before you.” – Jessica Huang
“Very unhygienic, that’s why I brought my own ink. We don’t know some pedophile co-signed for a van.” – Jessica Huang
Louis, we decided this already. Pee or get off the toilet.” – Jessica Huang
Louis: This is a big decision. Maybe we should sleep on it.
Jessica: We just woke up from sleep! It’s morning.

“The longer you resist, the more fun she’ll see in her future.” – Jessica Huang
Emery: Regis and Kathie Lee are giving up underwear for 40 days, so we’re gonna try it, too.
Evan: Why on earth would Regis give up underwear? Kathie Lee, maybe.
Emery: So they could be more like Jesus. Because He did not wear underwear.
Evan: Excuse me. Jesus wore underwear.
Eddie: Not according to them. He didn’t. They said it was too hot in the desert.
Emery: Plus, even if He did own a pair, you’ll know He’d lend it to the less fortunate.
Evan: You guys, you’re just messing with me.
Eddie: Oh, yeah? How many times have you … underwear in the Bible you’re always reading?
Evan: …
Emery: And you call yourself a student of religion.
Eddie: If you don’t believe us, watch the tape.
Evan: A-ha! You’re trying to make me break Lent. I should have known, you’re never even going to watch the show.
Eddie: Yes, we did.
Evan: Oh, yeah? Then who was the guest?
Eddie and Emery: … McIntyre
Evan: Oh. That sounds right.
Eddie: Come on. Let’s find a super cool homeless kid who needs underwear.
“Louis, I told you she has a gift. Stop fighting it.” – Jessica Huang
“Yes, that sounds right. He makes decisions like a turtle. Slow.” – Jessica Huang
“It worked! A vision! I’ve achieved the ultimate level of being. Morning mist.” – Jessica Huang
“Marvin! Get out of my mist! Why are you talking like that?” – Jessica Huang
“I’ve come back as…Honey and Marvin’s white baby?!” – Jessica Huang
“Help! I’m Jessica Huang! I’m supposed to be reincarnated as morning mist, not in this white baby cage. Ah, a party. Okay, listen up before anyone become too attached to me, I am not supposed to be here. I was reborn in the wrong body.” - Jessica Huang
“What?! I’m a boy? No way! I’m out of here! Ahhh! I can’t do anything! But I’m a woman of action. Let’s talk about this. Weigh the pros and cons. Noooo!” – Jessica Huang
“You know what? It wasn’t that bad. I felt faster, streamlined.” – Jessica Huang after her circumcision
“You let a piece of prime meat hit the market, it’s going to get snatched!” – Madame Xing (June Angela)
“I married Madame Xing?” – Louis Huang
“This is ridiculous! We’re debating nitrous gas dreams.” – Louis Huang
Grandma Huang: Stop bickering! You’re both right.
Louis: How can we both be right? We’re saying opposite things.
Grandma Huang: Yin and Yang. Your opposite energies balance each other out. The black is Yin, slow and yielding. Like you Louis, always thinking before you act. The white is Yang, focused and active. Like you Jessica, jumping into action before thinking it through. Your two energies complement each other achieving perfect balance. It’s the reason ‘Tommy Boy’ didn’t work. Too much white. No balance.
Jessica: That’s why I couldn’t’ follow it.
Grandma Huang: Yin-Yang is why you work so well together. Stop fighting your differences and embrace them.
“I acted before thinking, but that’s what you love about me.” – Jessica Huang
“God forgives unconditionally, but I don’t.” – Evan Huang
“You let me die and stole my husband. You’re fired, Xing.” – Jessica Huang
