Rochelle: You need to apologize.
Julius: For what? I didn't tape over her show.
Rochelle: You are acting like a child.
Julius: Am not.
Rochelle: Are too.
Julius: Am not.
Rochelle: You are too.
Julius: You can't jump to her defense when she's wrong! If she was right, I'd understand.
Rochelle: [sighs] Julius, that is not what I am trying to say.
Julius: Well, what are you trying to say?
Rochelle: Well, if you don't know then forget it!
Julius: Whoa, whoa, wait. You can't be mad! I'm supposed to be mad! Rochelle! [door slams]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Mama wins again.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] I couldn't pick-out a mug shot, because I didn't want to get shot.
Police Officer: [to Doc] We'll do another canvas, I'll let you know if we find anything.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] No, they won't.

Doc: Chris, are you lying to me?
Chris: No, why would I need to lie?
Doc: I don't know. But every time I ask you a question, you're looking east and west like you're waiting for a train. Look, Chris, if you in trouble, it's okay to ask for help.
Chris: I'm not in trouble.
Doc: Then can you look me in the eye and tell me you don't know who robbed my store?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] If I lied again, Doc would never trust me.
Chris: No.
Doc: Okay.
Chris: It's okay?
Doc: No! You're fired, Chris.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] "The truth shall set you free, all right?" Free to find another job!

Chris: Hey, Dad.
Julius: My man. How's work going?
Chris: You know, that's what I wanted to talk you about.
Julius: You know, I'm really proud of you for keeping that job, son. It took a lot of courage for you to walk back in that store.
Chris: Thanks.
Julius: Do they sell Soap Opera Digest at your job?
Chris: Yeah.
Julius: When you go to work tomorrow, pick me up a copy. [Chris walks away] Is there something else you want to talk to me about?
Chris: No, it's all right. Forget about it.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My father being proud of me meant more than anything. Except being shot by Malvo.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] I figured it'd be easier to take a beating from Malvo than to tell my dad I'd lost my job.
Chris: Can I talk to you for a minute?
Malvo: I don't know if you can, but you may.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] While in prison, Malvo got a PHD in comparative literature.
Chris: I was wondering if you could, you know, out of the kindness of your heart return the stuff that you stole from Doc's.
Malvo: [laughs uproariously]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] He laughed like he was watching The Jeffersons. With the original Lionel.
Chris: Forget it.
Malvo: No. No, wait, kid! Wait, wait, come here! Man, you funny man. You should be a comedian when you grow-up, kid. That was funny, man. [grabs Chris and removes his jacket]
Chris: Man, what you doin'?
Malvo: You got a wire on boy?
Chris: What? No!
Malvo: My bad, man.

Malvo: Look man, let me explain some basic economic theory to you, all right? In life, there're people who make things, and there are other people who take things. I would be a taker. But I also can be a breaker. But, never ever, a faker. You follow me?
Chris: Not really.
Malvo: Okay, well, let me explain another economic theory. The stuff that I stole, is mine. Beat it! But you're funny though, kid! You funny. Give it back. [laughs]

Rochelle: Baby? Say you sorry.
Julius: What for? I didn't do nothing to her.
Rochelle: It's not what you did. It's how you did it. Julius, since day one, she's been your little princess, and all of a sudden, you screaming at her?
Julius: I didn't scream.
Rochelle: Julius, as big as you are, you weren't even talking to me and I was scared.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] The one thing I learned about women from my father is even when you're right, you're wrong.

Chris: I'm sorry for not telling you who robbed the store. I was scared.
Doc: And you're not scared now?
Chris: I want my job back.
Doc: Well, who was it, then?
Chris: [looks around] It was Malvo.
Doc: Malvo!
Chris: Man, would you be quiet?!
Doc: Come inside, boy. Now, why didn't you say so?
Chris: Because he showed his gun to me and he threatened to kill me!
Doc: Exactly my point. That Malvo is crazier than three dogs with rabies. Don't worry, you can have your job back.
Chris: What you doing?
Doc: Calling the police.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Since there were no witnesses to the crime, the only way to catch Malvo was to catch him in the act.
Doc: You ready?
Chris: Um... I don't know about this.
Doc: Listen, don't worry about nothing, I'll be right here. He tries anything? Hit him with this bag of quarters.

Malvo: So the money is here and he gone?
Chris: Right.
Malvo: Then you need to give up the money to Malvo.
[After Chris hands over the cash, two police officers come out and pull their weapons]
Police Officer #1: Freeze! Don't move!
Malvo: You set me up, boy!
[Malvo runs out into the street, where another police officer is waiting with his canine]
Police Officer #2: Hold it right there.
Malvo: That's right, I'm the bad guy.
Chris: Man! You didn't even have a real gun!
Malvo: It's hard to rob a gun store, man. They got guns. It's a catch-22 for Malvo.
