Quote from Adult Chris

Tonya: Chris? Chris. Hmm.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] The idle sister is the Devil's workshop.

Quote from Chris

Adult Chris: [v.o.] With a bullet hole in it.

Quote from Julius

Tonya: So how was the play?
Rochelle: Well, we never saw it because we got kicked out because your dad knocked out one of the actors.
Tonya: You knocked out one of the dogs?
Julius: He snuck up on me.
Rochelle: You were in a theater, not an alley.

Quote from Rochelle

Drew: Hey, look at this. A guy got shot last night right down the street from where you guys saw the play.
Rochelle: Oh, too bad we didn't go see a movie. Maybe your dad could have knocked out the shooter.

Quote from Chris

Walter Dickerson: Hey, Chris. What happened at the movies Friday night? We couldn't make it, but I heard somebody got shot.
Chris: Somebody got shot?
Walter Dickerson: Yeah.
Chris: Oh, well, I wouldn't know, 'cause I didn't go.
Walter Dickerson: Hold up. You stood us up?
Chris: But you just said that you didn't go.
Walter Dickerson: It don't matter. If we invite you someplace, we expect you to show up. That's just rude, man.
Chris: Sorry.

Quote from Julius

Rochelle: Okay, Mr. Hurt Feelings, exactly what is it that you want me to do?
[fantasy: Rochelle walks in with three swim-wear models as Julius watches TV on the couch:]
Rochelle: Happy anniversary!

Quote from Chris

Adult Chris: [v.o.] To get that cold, hard cash, I needed someone to take the heat.
Jerome: So, all I got to do is go into the police station, give a description of the guy, they give me a thousand dollars, and I could keep half?
Chris: Right.
Jerome: No, thanks. I ain't trying to be no snitch.
Chris: Oh, no, no, no. See, you're not snitching, I'm snitching. You're just collecting the snitch money.
Jerome: Hmm. Okay, I'll do it, but don't tell nobody.
Chris: What you think I am, a snitch?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Yes.

Quote from Jerome

Jerome: Then I picked him out of a lineup.
Chris: You did what?!
Jerome: I picked him out of a lineup.
Chris: You never saw him. What if you picked the wrong guy?
Jerome: Hey, it happens to me all the time.
Police Officer: Hold it right there. You're under arrest.
Jerome: Wha-wha-what?
Police Officer: Falsifying a police report, obstruction of justice.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Back then police still cared about arresting the right person.

Quote from Chris

Adult Chris: [v.o.] At the barbershop, rumors about Jerome were spreading faster than Britney Spears for the paparazzi.
Risky: Cannot believe Jerome snitched.
Kill Moves: Ain't nothing they hate more in jail than a snitch.
Ryan: There's a few things they hate more, but let's say snitching's in the top five.
James: Man, I know a dude that committed suicide, didn't leave a note, 'cause he didn't want to be a snitch.
Chris: Is it really that bad in there?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Nah, prison is fun.
Chris: You guys don't think they'll kill him, do you? [others murmuring]
Kill Moves: [talking through a sock puppet] Don't look at me! I don't know nothing.
