Adult Chris: [v.o.] I didn't tell my mother I was in detention because then she'd come up to school. And there's nothing worse than a mad Black woman at an all-White school.
Rochelle: I thought I told you to be here, so I pick up my check.
Chris: I missed my bus.
Rochelle: What were you doing that you missed your bus?
Chris: Uh, I... Uh, I just forgot?
Rochelle: Oh. So you forgot to come home?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I'll look pathetic and she'll take pity. Uh-uh.
Chris: What's this?
Rochelle: It's a bucket and a mop for mopping. Do the steps, the bathroom and the hall. This will help you to remember to get your butt home on time. I'm going to pick up my check.
