Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates the Gout
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Since I had the cards in place, all I had to do was keep my mother and Mrs. Morello from seeing each other and I would be home free. Ms. Morello: Chris, do you have your signed report card? Chris: Sure do. My mother says she won't be able to come to the school tomorrow. My father has the gout. Ms. Morello: Did you say "the gout"? Chris: Yes. The gout. Ms. Morello: I'm concerned about your grade, Chris. Chris: Well, my mom is, too. She told me I better get a C on my next report card. And then she... Well, let's just say it's kind of hard to sit down. [Ms. Morello gasps] [Chris groans as he walks away]
