Adult Chris: [v.o.] While I was trying to find an answer to my problem, Drew was trying to dodge a problem with his answer.
Julius: [groans] Somebody been sitting in my chair?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Middle bear.
Drew: I don't know. Why?
Julius: It's broken, that's why.
Drew: Broken? How?
Julius: I don't know. I didn't break it.
Drew: Are you sure? 'Cause you could've just broken just now when you sat down.

Maxine: Don't feel bad, Chris. I taught Rochelle everything she knows, but I didn't teach her everything I know. Teaching is a skill. No different than flying a plane.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Except you don't fall 35,000 feet to your death.
Maxine: How come you didn't come to me in the first place?
Chris: Because she didn't want you to think that she couldn't do it.
Maxine: Mmm-hmm. So, I guess you just want to keep this between me and you.
Chris: Could we?

Julius: What's all this?
Risky: Ah, well, I figured while you sell the newspapers, I open up a whole new customer base.
Julius: How about I open up your skull with a tire iron? I can't drive around with a truck full of stolen goods.
Risky: Eh, I'm not a thief. I'm a wholesaler. Cut out the middle man.
Julius: How about you cut out the bail man? 'Cause that's what we're gonna need.
Risky: Have you ever known me to be in trouble with the law?
Julius: Come on, now. Have you ever known me to sell radios out the back of a paper truck?
Risky: I'm sorry. Look, let me just move this stuff today, and after that, it'll be newspapers and only newspapers.
Julius: One day. And that's it.
Risky: Thank you.
Julius: How much for this?

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Back home, my mother was looking at my test, and she didn't like the score.
Rochelle: "X" over "2Y", over square root... I know I showed him how to do this right.

Chris: I'm sorry, Ma. I just needed to get some help.
Rochelle: Oh, so I just rassled you to the ground and stopped you from learning?
Maxine: Rochelle, all you did was holler at the boy.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My mother was hollering at her boy long before it was cool to holla at your boy.
Rochelle: Is that what you told her?
Maxine: He didn't have to tell me, Rochelle, I know you. You are impatient. You couldn't teach a rock how to hit the ground if you dropped it.
[fantasy: Rochelle is holding a rock out on the street:]
Rochelle: Now, all you got to do is fall straight down. Ow! Didn't I tell you to hit the ground?!

Maxine: Are you saying I don't know how to raise my children?
Rochelle: See, that's another thing: you don't listen.
Rochelle: Well, if he just did what I said, we wouldn't have a problem!
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I did what you said. That's why we're here.
Maxine: Did you hear what I said? Better yet, do you hear yourself?
Rochelle: What, Ma, are you telling me I don't know what I'm doing?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Yes.
Maxine: Don't ask me, ask him.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I'll tell her, and you tell everyone my last words were "Thanks a lot, Grandma."

Rochelle: So you're just gonna stand there, look me in my face and tell me I didn't help you, not one little teeny, tiny little bit?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Yes!
Chris: No.
Rochelle: No?
Chris: Yes?
Rochelle: Oh. Okay, well, I'm gonna take my little behind home.

Risky: Hey, Julius.
Julius: Man, where's your uniform?
Risky: Yeah, I got to talk to you about that.
Julius: Man, look, I told you, we're not selling your stuff out here.
Risky: Uh, I'm not going out with you. I'm gonna have to quit.
Julius: Quit? Man, we got work to do! You can't just up and quit every time you don't like something.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] It works for Terrell Owens.

Risky: This ain't my thing. I'm a businessman.
Julius: You can't compete with these crackheads around here. You told me that.
Risky: Yeah, I know, I know.
Julius: Well, what you gonna do?
Risky: Get off the streets. Open up a storefront. Go legit.
Julius: A business?
Risky: Yeah.
Julius: You?
Risky: Yeah!
Julius: That's kind of risky, ain't it?
Risky: Yeah.

Chris: Ma? Are you okay?
Rochelle: I'm fine.
Chris: You're not mad?
Rochelle: No. Why would you think that?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Because those mashed potatoes just started bleeding.
