Chris: I got fired.
Drew: Why? 'Cause you got robbed?
Chris: 'Cause I didn't tell who robbed me.
Drew: Well, who robbed you?
Chris: I'm not gonna tell.
Drew: Man, you lost your job? Wait till Dad finds out. All he's been doing, lately, is bragging about you working. I mean, he was so happy! He's gonna be sad now. I bet he was telling everybody at his job how proud he was of you. He's gonna be so embarrassed. He'll never be able to let that down. I mean, you lost your first job! I mean, I can't believe it. Just glad it wasn't me.
Chris: Thank you. A lot.

Doc: Hey, where are you going with my quarters?
Police Officer: It's evidence now. Stand back, sir.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Doc never did, get his quarters back. Later that year, the Bed-Stuy Police Department won a video game tournament.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Working at Doc's corner store was pretty easy. I stocked shelves, I delivered groceries.
Doc: Hurry up, Chris, and don't let her ice-cream melt.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I even made pickled eggs. About the only work Doc never let me do was work the register.
Doc: Chris? Listen here. I have to go and do something, I have to leave for about an half an hour.
Chris: Ok, I'll help you lock-up.
Doc: Oh, we're not locking-up. I want you to stay here. You think you can handle the register while I'm gone?
Chris: For real? Where are you going?
Doc: I got to go to the bank.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Since Doc didn't leave the store during business hours, he never got to go the bank. I never knew where he kept his money.
[fantasy: Doc at the bank with his mattress:]
Doc: That will be a deposit.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] That mattress was his wallet.

Chris: What's going on?
Drew: Dad gets a Betamax.
Rochelle: Julius, what do we supposed to do without the tapes?
Julius: I got a bunch of blank tapes with it. They were practically giving them away.
Rochelle: Probably throwing them away.

Tonya: I'm going to record Billy Ocean videos.
Drew: And I'm going to record Knight Rider.
Rochelle: Well, what are you going to record baby?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] The 700 Club. So I can pray not to get robbed again.
Chris: I don't know, maybe Rocky?
Julius: Y'all can do whatever y'all want as long as I can record my stories.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Now, my father could catch up on his sleep and The Young and the Restless.

Greg: Hey, Chris. I brought you some old movies we had left over. I got Sharky's Machine and Young Frankenstein.
Chris: What's that?
Greg: It's a Mel Brooks movie, it's hilarious.
Chris: Thanks.
Greg: No problem. We were using them as doorstops.

Malvo: So, who's this?
Doc: That's my helper, Chris. Chris, say hi to Malvo.
Chris: Hi.
Malvo: Hi.
Doc: Yeah, he was here when it happened. He's helping me out with the sketch of the guy who did it.
Malvo: Oh, yeah? Chris saw who did it, huh? Let me see that.
Doc: Yeah, this is the latest.
Malvo: Man, that's Al Jarreau. I know his record sales are down, but I don't think he'd be robbing no store.

Chris: Doc? Can I talk to you for a minute?
Doc: I don't know if you can. But you may.

Julius: Tonya? [Tonya turns away in her bed] Listen the other day, I didn't mean to holler at you. I was upset. I was looking forward to seeing my stories. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but my feelings were hurt too.
Tonya: I didn't mean to do it.
Julius: I didn't mean to yell at you.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I didn't mean to do a lot of things, but that never stopped my father for smacking me upside the head.
Tonya: I'm sorry.
Julius: Me too. [they hug]

Tonya: Why do you watch soap operas, anyway?
Julius: What?
Tonya: Isn't daytime TV for women?
Julius: Um... We'll talk about that another time. All right?
Tonya: Okay.
