Quote from Julius

Adult Chris: [v.o.] The line was getting shorter, and so was my father's patience.
Julius: What?!
[After a DMV employee places a "Back in 1 hour" sign in the window, Julius brays on the door. After the employee comes out and gives Julius a questioning look, they share a few argumentative looks.]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] You'd think they were married.
DMV Clerk: May I help you?
Julius: You got people out here. You can't just go to lunch. People have stuff to do.
Drew: Then why don't you come back another day?
Julius: Because my license expires today.
DMV Clerk: Well, then I guess you're just gonna have to wait. And don't bang on this door again.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] She's lucky he didn't bang on her head.

Quote from Rochelle

Adult Chris: [v.o.] In the meantime, my mother decided to give Tonya a lesson in making the hard sell.
Rochelle: Hey. What's wrong, baby?
Tonya: Nobody's buying my bookmarks.
Rochelle: So what, you're just gonna sit here and mope?
Tonya: I don't know what else to do.
Rochelle: Well, these bookmarks ain't gonna sell themselves.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Especially because you can use any piece of paper for free.
Rochelle: If people ain't coming to the bookmarks, you take the bookmarks to the people. [chuckles] Take that side. Lift it higher, girl.

Quote from Adult Chris

Adult Chris: [v.o.] That was a bigger fire hazard than pyrotechnics at a Great White concert.

Greg: I wonder what they're doing at school.
Chris: Feeling like suckers.
[meanwhile:]
Joey Caruso: On behalf of the Corleone Junior High students I'd like to welcome a very special guest... Earth, Wind & Fire!
[present:]
Chris: Yeah, suckers!
Ms. Morello: Excuse me, can you be quiet?
Greg: Ms. Morello?
Chris: I thought you were at a funeral.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] No, stupid, she's at yours.

Quote from Ms. Morello

Greg: I don't mean to be disrespectful, but what are you doing here?
Ms. Morello: Well, Greg-
Thalmus: Hey, baby. I got the popcorn. You want Junior Mints or Goobers?
Ms. Morello: I got both.
Chris: You're on a date? Chris, we all grieve in our own way.
Thalmus: Grieve? Who's grieving?
Greg: Did you go to the funeral, too?
Thalmus: What funeral?
Chris: So you lied about your sister dying?
Ms. Morello: Yes.
Thalmus: Your sister died?
Ms. Morello: No.
Chris: How could you do that?
Ms. Morello: That's neither here nor there.

Quote from Ms. Morello

Chris: Sorry. Come on, Greg, let's go.
Ms. Morello: Chris, wait. Stay.
Greg: Are you serious?
Ms. Morello: Yes. But don't you ever let me find out you've done anything like this again, you understand?
Chris: Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Morello: Could you not mention that you saw me here?
Chris: Yes, ma'am.
Thalmus: Nice meeting you.
Ms. Morello: Enjoy the movie.

Quote from Julius

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Back at the DMV, my father was DOA.
DMV Clerk: I'm sorry, sir, you fail.
Julius: What do you mean, fail? Let me see that! What's wrong with this one?
DMV Clerk: The speed limit in a school zone is 25, not 50.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Not if he's late.
Julius: Fine. I'll do it again. [goes to grab another test]
DMV Clerk: What do you think you're doing?
Julius: I'm going to take the test.
DMV Clerk: You got to get in line, get a number, wait for that number to be called, proceed to my counter, where I will give you a new exam and then you can go to the testing area.
Julius: I have to do this again?!
DMV Clerk: If you want a license.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Good thing she can't read minds.

Quote from Julius

Rochelle: Hey, baby. Where you been all day?
Julius: Getting my license. It was horrible. Remind me to renew early next time.

Quote from Chris

Rochelle: Chris, how was your day?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] The hardest thing about having such a great day was pretending it never happened.
Chris: What do you mean?
Rochelle: What do you mean, what do I mean? It's a simple question.
Chris: I know.
Rochelle: Okay.
Chris: Okay what?
Rochelle: Did anything interesting happen in school today?
Chris: Like what?
Rochelle: Like I don't know. You were there all day, that's why I'm asking you.
Chris: Nothing happened.
Rochelle: Why didn't you just say that?
