Ms. Morello: I'm not part of the hall monitor program. But, as a friend, I think you should slow down a bit.
Chris: Why? You just said I was impressive.
Ms. Morello: To me, yes. But to the rest of the students... Well, they hate you.
Chris: They've always hated me.
Ms. Morello: True, but they used to hate you because you were Black. Now they hate you because you're acting like a jerk.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And because I'm Black.
Chris: So what do you mean?
Ms. Morello: You judo-flipped Rodney for wearing a hat.
Chris: And I'm just doing my job.
Ms. Morello: I know how aggressive the down trodden can get when they get a little taste of power. But, Chris, you're just a hall monitor. Calm down.
