Quote from Adult Chris

Adult Chris: [v.o.] When I was a kid I never had a chance to hang out with my dad much, because all it seem he did was work and sleep. I tried work with him.
[flashback to Chris helping Julius on his newspaper delivery round:]
Julius: Come on, Chris, we got to pick up the pace. We only got five minutes for this spot. Here you go! [Chris falls down as he catches the stack of newspapers]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I tried to sleep with him.
[flashback to Julius rolling over and crushing Chris in bed]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] But the one thing we love doing together was watching baseball.

Quote from Vanessa

Rochelle: Well, what would make him think that you would want go out with him?
Vanessa: Because I said "yes." And you know I never turn down a free meal. And I think he's kinda sweet.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Just like diabetes.
Vanessa: And besides, you never know where you might find love.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] In the arms of a bum.
Rochelle: Mm!
Vanessa: What do you mean, "Mm!"?
Rochelle: I just don't think it's a good idea. That's all.
Vanessa: Mm-mm. It's just dinner. You act like the man is moving in.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Keep an eye on your keys.
Rochelle: I'm just saying, every time you go on a bad date, I end up with a bad perm.
Vanessa: Don't worry, your hair's going to be just fine.

Quote from Jerome

Jerome: Go to the game, man. You know if my father wasn't in jail, that's what I'd do.

Quote from Greg

Greg: I don't know, man. That's a tough one. Game-girl, girl-game. Well... if you pick the girl, there's a good chance you're gonna hurt your dad's feelings, but... it is his job to love you unconditionally. Now, if you pick the game, you might hurt Tasha's feelings... Not to mention... [locker closes] you'll miss Back To The Future, which is supposed to be one of the best movies out this year, but... it will be a pretty good game, so I'd have to say girl. No, game. Girl. Wait, no... Game! [bus door closes] No, girl! [bus drives away] No, game!

Quote from Kill Moves

Drew: Whoa, cool.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Yeah, if you want a car that looks like a belt buckle.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] That explains the car. What about the White lady?

Vanessa: Your brother Michael.
Rochelle: What?! Vanessa, stop playing.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Everything means nothing but dinner.

Quote from Rochelle

Tonya: Is that it?
Rochelle: No.
Tonya: Is that it?
Rochelle: No.
Tonya: Is that it?
Rochelle: No. I got the light bill, the gas bill, and the telephone bill. There's nothing here from Billy Ocean. Not unless his picture's on one of these bills.
