Medium: No, sow-ah cweem. Sow-uh-uh-uh cweem.
Boppa: Sow-ah cream?

Postscript:
As I was typing this up, and trying to remember this dinner conversation from last night, I asked Dad about Medium's near-guffaw-inducing line, because I couldn't remember if she'd actually said "You'wre missing da point," or if it was another similar phrase.
Dad looked at me kinda blankly.
"Last night. Pronunciation lesson," I said.
"Ah." He shook his head. "I don't remember." He hefted the full trash bag out of the kitchen trash can. "Sow-uh cweem," he said on his way to the garage.
"Sow-woo cweem," Medium corrected.
