Quote from Adult Chris in Everybody Hates the Buddy System
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Even though Caruso had got on my last nerve, I was afraid I might be his last chance. Gang Member: [to Caruso] So, you take that to Brooklyn Beach stop, and you're right there, all right? Joey Caruso: How'd you get here before me? Chris: I took the express train. This is the local train. Gang Member: Hey, man, why'd you leave your boy out here like that? We could've hurt him. Chris: I came back to get him. Gang Member: What you want me to do? Joey Caruso: Nah, leave him alone. If he gets hurt, I think it effects my grade. Gang Member: Hey, man, in the buddy system, you never leave your buddy. No matter what. You understand? Chris: Yeah. Gang Member: Good. Now give me your wallet. Chris: I don't have any money in it. Gang Member: Did I ask you all of that? Adult Chris: [v.o.] I guess this is what Martin Luther King fought for, Black and White bullies side by side ready to kick my ass.
