Quote from Rochelle

Alyson: Hey. Um, I just came by to apologize.
Rochelle: Really?
Alyson: Yeah, Latrinda went and got herself in more trouble. She said if it was okay for me to act this way, then why wasn't it okay for her?
Rochelle: That's a good question. What did you tell her?
Alyson: I just told her, I said, "Look, I'm your mother and if you don't straighten up, then I'm gonna knock the medulla out of your oblongata."
Rochelle: That's what I'm talking about! Good for you, girl.
Alyson: So, um, anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for talking to me the way that you did. It really helped.
Rochelle: Any time.
Alyson: And you know, who knows? Maybe sometimes, Latrinda can come over again...
Rochelle: Take care, girl. [closes the door]

Julius: So, you enjoying my four dollars?
Drew: That's long gone.

Quote from Chris

Chris: Well?
Malvo: I scored in the 70 percentile. I passed!

Adult Chris: [v.o.] But on this day, I got the worst news I could imagine.
Manny: Did y'all hear? Malvo is out of prison.

Quote from Chris

Kill Moves: Hey, Chris! Chris, Malvo's looking for you-oo-ooh!
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Say what?!
[After Chris vanishes from the barber's chair in a flash, he runs down the street... straight into Malvo]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Somebody help!
Chris: Let me in! Please! [sobbing] Malvo. Where you been?
Malvo: Jail.
Chris: Yep, that's where you were.
Malvo: Yeah, well, now I'm out-- and I need you to help me.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I could only imagine what he wanted help with.
[fantasy: Malvo fires a shotgun as he backs out of a bank. Chris is in the driver's seat of a waiting car:]
Malvo: Drive, boy! Drive!

Quote from Julius

Julius: [screaming] No...!
[fantasy: the Earth implodes]

Quote from Julius

Drew: Wait, Dad, don't be like that. Just admit it. The Mets are a better team than the Dodgers.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My father believed in the Dodgers so much, he did the unthinkable.
Julius: You want to put some money on it?
Drew: A bet?
Julius: Yeah. The Dodgers are in town this weekend against the Mets, for three games. We'll see who's the better team.
Drew: How much?
Julius: A dollar.
Drew: Okay, you're on.

Quote from Adult Chris

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Except you.

Quote from Manny

Chris: So Supercuts Johnson taught you how to cut hair?
Manny: Not only that, he told me that everybody deserves a second chance.
Chris: Well, where is he now?
Manny: Oh, he's dead. He got the chair.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] But he looked good.
Chris: So, do you think Malvo deserves a second chance?
Manny: Look, your life is on the line, man. Do you think he needs a second chance? Think about it.
