Chris: And I get to kiss you?
Tasha: Yes.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Ask for more, ask for more!
Chris: In front of other people? Not just strangers, even people we know?
Tasha: Yes.
Chris: And if anybody asks me, I can say, "Yes, Tasha is my girlfriend"?
Tasha: Yes.
Chris: All right. I need you to sign this. I need your thumbprint there. All right, now, turn that around. [takes out a Polaroid] Smile. [a woman takes the documents] Thank you.
Tasha: Who's this?
Chris: She's notary public. There.
Notary: Here you go. It's official, Chris. Tasha is your girlfriend.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Somebody record this so she can't lie and say it didn't happen.

Chris: Look, I memorized it, I'm gonna recite it, and you're gonna listen to it.
Thurman: Is that a fact? Sit down.
Chris: "Called from a retirement which I had supposed would continue for the residue of my life."
Thurman: All right, that's enough. You know it. Take your seat.
Chris: "to fill the chief executive office of this great and free nation." [bell rings]
Thurman: Talk.
Chris: "which will govern me in the duties of these discharge which I had to perform."
Thurman: Enjoy. Good-bye.
[later, Chris is still talking as Thurman visits a urinal:]
Chris: "I fear that a strict examination of the annals of some of the modern elective governments would develop similar instances of violated confidence."
[later, Chris in the passenger's seat of Thurman's car as he drives off:]
Chris: "I, too, well understand the dangerous temptations to which I shall be exposed "from the magnitude of the power, which it has been the pleasure"
[later, Chris is talking on the phone as Thurman reads a book at home:]
Chris: [on the phone] "If parties in a republic are necessary to secure a degree of vigilance sufficient to keep"
Thurman: All right, all right! I get it. Now leave me alone. You know the speech. I'm sorry.
Chris: Thank you.

Rochelle: What's that?
Julius: Chris's G.E.D. results.
Drew: Did you pass?
Rochelle: Open it.
Julius: Is that fried crust?
Drew: Yeah, and it's good.
Chris: What's it say?

Chris: I don't know about you. I'm just going to cram it in the night before. It'll be easier to remember if I just read it.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Historically, White people prepare in advance, while Black people deal with things at the last minute. From going to the movies...
[fantasy: a Black couple are at the ticket booth of a movie theater:]
Man: So what's playing? Anything good? [the attendant points to the movie board] Let me see... Spaceballs? What's that about?
Adult Chris: [o.s.] ...to natural disasters.
[fantasy: A Black woman and her children are staring out of the roof of their submerged, floating house:]
Woman: [on the phone] Yeah, girl. You know anybody with a boat?

Adult Chris: [v.o.] I decided to take Doc's advice and ask every girl in the neighborhood.
Tasha: Sorry. I'm going to Robert's school dance.
Susan: Look, I kissed you. It was a game. It's over. Now leave me alone.
Yvette: Are you crazy? I'm not going to Brooklyn Beach to no dance. It's all White people over there!
Diedra: Dance? With you? Please.
Puerto Rican Girl: [speaking Spanish]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Better move to a bigger neighborhood.

Chris: Hi. I'm Chris.
Angel: Hi. I'm Angel.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Ahn-Hel? More like, "What the hell?"
Chris: Ahn-Hel? What's up with the outfit?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And the makeup?
Angel: I'm androgynous, silly.
[fantasy: Dr. Information presents a newscast:]
Dr. Information: Around 1986, a new trend emerged called androgyny. Inspired by the looks of personalities such as Boy George, Prince, Grace Jones and Attorney General Janet Reno, gender benders, as they were also called, stretched the perceptions of what it meant to be male or female.

Chris: Hey, how come you didn't come to the game?
Greg: I felt bad not being there, but I would have felt worse seeing you miss all those shots, trip over the ball and pass to the other team.
Chris: You sure you weren't there?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] The good thing about hanging out with nerds was they were happy to hang out with anybody.

Greg: B-plus. Cool.
Chris: Wait a second. I thought I had a C-plus.
Ms. Martella: I thought you were on the team.

Greg: You gonna watch Rocky tomorrow?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My favorite movie of all time was Rocky. A Black man kicking a White guy's ass. My father always thought the movie should've been called Apollo.

Chris: Hey, pick that up! Pick up the citation, too! She must think she lost her mind.
