1. The scene with the Nguyens is a scene where Baba ventilates the frustration that he feels after he came to America, where nothing is like home and Afghanistan. The thing that upsets him the most is that he takes the procedure to check ID personally. He thinks that because they ask for his ID, they do not trust him, which is shown in the quote: "What country is this? No one trusts anybody!"
2. Baba says that he came to America for Amir's sake. Even though Baba does not know why Amir was so discontent in Afghanistan, he understands that something happened. That thing, in addition to the unstable condition of the country, make them move to America.
3. For Amir, it is a way to bury his past and add on new memories and finally forget what happened in Afghanistan. For Baba, it is not the same. He is no longer an important member of society and can no longer throw huge parties. So all Baba wants is to move back really.
4. As Soraya tells Amir of her past and her "secret" Amir wishes that he could do the same and hopefully, he will be inspired to tell the truth about his past.
