Rochelle: You got suspended?
Chris: It was an accident.
Rochelle: Well, how can you accidentally have an accident?
Chris: Some kid was messing with me, so I tried to hit him with my book.
Rochelle: Chris, if you were reading the book instead of throwing the book, maybe people wouldn't have time to mess with you.
Chris: They always find time to mess with me.
Rochelle: I don't even want to hear it. And don't think you just gonna be laying around here watching Knight Rider all day, okay? You're gonna be here working, you're gonna have chores. You know what? Just go upstairs in your room and wait for your father to get here.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] In our house, "Wait for your father" meant I was getting a whupping.
