Rochelle: You know what, kids? I had a dream. Every time I see Shirley Chisholm, I think, "Wow, hey, that could have been me." [chuckles] Yeah, I could have done a lot of things. [chuckles] I could have won a Pulitzer Prize.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] If she only learned how to Pulitzer.
Rochelle: I could have been a Poet Laureate.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] That don't rhyme.
Rochelle: You know what? I even could have won a Cy Young Award.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] If she could only throw a knuckleball.
Rochelle: But instead I decided to raise your family.
Julius: My family? Now it's my family.
Rochelle: That's right. Your family. And what thanks do I get? [mimicking] Whatever you want to do, Chris, just make sure you like it. That's what he said to you.
Julius: I didn't mean it like that.
Rochelle: You know what, Julius? I don't want to make you any more unhappy than you already are.
