Quote from Tonya in Everybody Hates the Buddy System
Adult Chris: [v.o.] All that could save Tonya was a sad look. Julius: What's going on? Tonya: Mom's really mad at me. Julius: [sighs] Tell me what happened. Tonya: I just wanted to wear earrings like my friends, so I took Mom's gold hoops, and I lost one. Julius: Oh, Tonya. Tonya: Do you think maybe I could save up and buy another pair? Julius: It's not about the money, Tonya. I gave your mother those earrings. You can't replace them. Tonya: What are you going to do? Adult Chris: [v.o.] My father could've spanked Tonya, or grounded her until she was grown, but he said something that made her feel worse than all of that. Julius: I'm really disappointed in you. [fantasy: Tonya is on her bed wearing Oriental clothes:] Tonya: Father, I have brought disgrace to myself and to our family. Julius: Tonya, no! Tonya: Leave me now, Father. I must whup myself until you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
