Adult Chris: [v.o.] While I was was debating Caruso, my brother was debating what to buy with the ten dollars he found.
Risky: Hey, young blood, what's happening?
Drew: Hey, Risky. Hey, man, what you got for ten dollars?
Risky: Ten dollars? I got this leopard hat.
Drew: Nah, I want something cool.
Risky: Cooler than a leopard hat?
Drew: Yeah.
Risky: Okay, okay, okay. Uh... Uh-huh. How about an Olympic torch? Olympic torch right here. And that's from this year's Summer Olympics.
Drew: And how'd you get it?
Risky: Mary Lou Retton, man. Are you buying or are you asking questions?

Mr. Omar: Hey, Drew.
Chris: I'm Chris.
Mr. Omar: Hey, Chris. Is your mother home?
Chris: Ma? Come in.
Mr. Omar: All right.
Rochelle: Chris, go tell your daddy dinner's ready. Hey, Mr. Omar.
Mr. Omar: Well, good evening, Miss Rochelle. This is my friend, Mrs. Taylor.
Mrs. Taylor: Oh, we know each other. We both used to sell Yvonne products.
Rochelle: Yes, yes. How you doing?
Mrs. Taylor: I'm good. How are you doing?
Rochelle: Okay. [chuckles] So how do you know Mr. Omar?
Mrs. Taylor: Well, we met at my ex- husband's brother's funeral.
Mr. Omar: Yeah, got hit by a bus. Very sad.

Rochelle: Well, can I help you with something?
Mr. Omar: Well, I just wanted to stop by and tell you I love the apartment.
Rochelle: Great, great, great. Well, thanks for stopping by.
Mr. Omar: Well, we're about to go and get something to eat. And I noticed you're about to have dinner, too.
Rochelle: Oh, yeah, we were about to sit down.
Mr. Omar: We might as well join you.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] While Mr. Omar was chowing down, my father's blood pressure was going up.
Mr. Omar: Oh, no, no, I'll take the big one, baby.
Mrs. Taylor: So, uh, where are the kids?
Rochelle: Oh, they're having dinner in their rooms.
Mr. Omar: Oh, y'all got any more corn bread?
Julius: Yeah, it's... It's in the kitchen. Honey? Would you help me get some more corn bread?
Rochelle: Oh, it's right on the stove.
Julius: I really need your help.
Mr. Omar: Now you see, that's what I'm talking about. That's what a real relationship is all about. Bible says, behind every great man is a great woman. You're on it, brother.
Rochelle: I like that.
Julius: Thank you.
Mr. Omar: You got it.

Julius: Why did you invite him to dinner?
Rochelle: I didn't invite him.
Julius: He just showed up. How am I supposed to relax if you keep bringing home people for me to feed?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] He's not talking about Mr. Omar, he's talking about the kids.

Drew: Hey, Mom, can I have some more vegetables?
Mrs. Johnson: Oh, sure you can, son. There you go.
Drew: Hey, what's it like being around dead people all the time?
Rochelle: Drew, that is not dinner conversation. Now go on upstairs.
Mr. Omar: Oh, that's all right. The boy's just curious. Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Julius. Did you want any more of this?
Julius: No, no, I'm fine.
Mr. Omar: Mmm. This is a good dinner, isn't it?
Rochelle: Thank you.
Mr. Omar: I could do this every week. [laughs]
Julius: Every week.
Mr. Omar: I'm sure glad I came down here before I spent my good money.

Greg: You ready?
Chris: Yep. I got my speech right here.
Greg: You got any idea what Caruso is going to say?
Chris: No.
Greg: Whatever he's got, it can't be better than this.
Joey Caruso: [grabs the paper from Greg] Thanks, Kashif.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I guess great artists do steal.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] The one time I thought I had Caruso beat, he pulled something that even I couldn't believe.
Joey Caruso: Men should be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. [applause] And in closing, I'd like to say, keep hope alive. Keep hope alive. [cheering] Keep hope alive.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Caruso wouldn't know Jesse Jackson from Reggie Jackson.
Greg: You can't go out there. You don't have a speech. You're going to lose.
Chris: I'm not going to win if I stay back here.
Joey Caruso: Oops, upside your head.
Chris: Ow.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] The next politician to use that move was Jesse "The Body" Ventura.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Becoming class president really did change things. For one, my family was really proud of me.
Julius: My man.
Tonya: Now that you're class president, can you start a war?
Rochelle: No.
Drew: Hey, Chris, I bet now you'll get all kinds of girls, huh?
Rochelle: Drew, you do not use the presidency to get girls.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Too easy.
Julius: I'm really proud of you, son.
Chris: Thanks, Dad.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Yeah, class president felt really good, but later that night I had a dream.
[grainy dream sequence: Chris is waving to the people as his motorcade drives along, when Caruso throws a rock at him from a building window]

Ms. Morello: I was thinking. We should have another opportunity to hear our candidates in addition to the town hall meeting. So you're going to have to prepare a speech.
Chris: A speech?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I never feared speaking in public until I had to speak in public.
