Jack and Charlotte are getting ready to visit Charlottes mum.
Jack: "How do I say to your mum in her language: I'm really proud to be your son in law'?"
Charlotte smiles: "Oh that's easy. You don't"
Jack: "Huh?"
Charlotte: "You just don't say thing's like that in our culture."
Jack: "Okay, but how would you say it?"
Charlotte: "I really don't know, because you just wouldn't say that."
Jack laughs: "You call yourself Bengali and you can't even speak the language!"
Charlotte smiles: "Yes, just like you call yourself your father son and you can't even cook."
(Jack's father is a Chef).
Later on Jack speaks to his sister on the phone.
"Can you believe she said that to me(!)?"
Jack's sister: "Well...."
Jack: "Well what?"
Jack's sister: "Well, she's right. You don't know how to cook.."
A resolute Jack tells his sister: "Right, you're giving me cooking lessons."
Charlotte thanks God for Sister-In-Laws and looks forward to putting her feet up for a while.
