Quote from Julius

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Back at home, I wasn't the only one who needed a new man on the job.
Mr. Omar: Oh! Excuse me, Mr. Julius. Exactly the man I was looking for.
Julius: Is everything all right?
Mr. Omar: Actually, I got a bit of a situation. You wouldn't know anyone looking for a job, would you?
[fantasy:]
Julius: Me! Me! I want a job! Me! Whoo! I want a... Me!
[reality:]
Julius: What kind of job? I mean, I might be interested.

Julius: Well, what would I have to do?
Mr. Omar: Well, you know, pickups, deliveries.

Mr. Omar: Well, all right, then, you're hired! Uh, here you go. Now, the van's out front.
Julius: What's this?
Mr. Omar: Oh, the address to the theater. I need you to pick up my dead assistant, row J, seat 15. And I believe he's entitled to a refund, so you keep that as a signing bonus.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] With a new job and a signing bonus, my father thought he had been hit by a chemical toilet and gone to Heaven.
