Joey Caruso: All right, Kingfish, you got the floor.
Chris: Okay, over the past few days, rumors have been circulated about me. The press have put out stories saying that I'm guilty of a lot of things.
Joey Caruso: Are you done?
Chris: No. I didn't do any of those things. I'm not a crook. Nevertheless...

Julius: So you're just gonna quit, huh? All these people who made it possible for you to become the first Black class president, and now you're just gonna quit?
Tuskegee Airman: Yeah, and what if we quit? Black people would never have become pilots.
Aunt Jemima: If I had quit, pancakes would taste like crap!
Cream of Wheat Man: If I had quit, Cream of Wheat would have been called Cream of White!
Uncle Ben: If I had quit, it would take hours to cook rice.
Julius: Chris, I know you don't think being eight-grade class president is a big deal, but one day, it will be.
