Two-part trivia Q

Watched "The Red Dot" tonight. When George pawns the cashmere sweater off on the cleaning woman, she says this to him:

"When I was a little girl in Panama, a rich American came to our town, and he was wearing the softest, most beautiful sweater. I said to him, 'What do you call this most beautiful fabric?' And he said, 'They call it...cashmere.' I repeated the words - 'cashmere, cashmere.' I asked if I could have it, and he said, 'No. Get away from me.' Then he started walk away. But I grabbed onto his leg, screaming for him to give me the sweater. And he dragged me through the street! And then he kicked at me with the other foot and threw some change at me! Oh, but I didn't want the change, Georgie. I wanted the cashmere."

So, then. Tonight's trivia...

Two other characters have begun lines/speeches concerning their childhoods in the same way ("When I was a little boy/girl in ______"). Which characters said the lines, and what was the name of the country spoken in each? As always, feel free to give the episode names if you remember 'em.

[Too easy, maybe...]

Manya in Poland - The Pony Remark

The Korean girl - when she met an American business man The Understudy

What about The Gymnast did she talk about being a young girl and learning about The Comedian?

Those sound good to me but I think the gymnast said something like -

"In my country, they speak of a man so virile, so potent, that to spend the night with such a man is to enter a world of sensual delight most women dare not dream of. This man is known as The Comedian."

So that's not one.

GRANDMA MANYA: POLAND Episode 7 "The Pony Remark"

When I was a little girl in Poland, we all had ponies. My sister had pony, my cousin had pony, ..So, what's wrong with that?

KIM (RUBY'S NAIL PARLOR): KOREAN Episode 110 "The Understudy"

That voice? It sounds so familiar. It reminds me of when I was a young girl in Korea and I met an American businessman. He was a very unusual man. Quick temperd with a strange halting way of speaking. We fell in love but when I brought him home to meet my father? He refused to take his shoes off. And there was a terrible fight.

How about Peterman and Costa Rica in The Secret Code?

Poppie and Venezuela in The Couch

Poppie kept refering to his mother, he never said anything about being a little boy.

"DFrank1068" wrote in message news:[email]...

Peterman in Costa Rica was the one I was thinking of.

"You know George, growing up as a boy in Costa Rica, I heard a rumor that Mama had taken a lover. Perhaps Bosco was this man's name."
