Adult Chris: [v.o.] I was even getting lucky at school.
Joey Caruso: [beating up an Asian kid] Take that, Mr. Miyagi! [stops] Hey, Chris. Want to smack this kid?
Chris: No, I'm okay.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] This kid needs a pair of lucky socks and a gun.

Drew: What's wrong with you?
Tonya: I asked Mama for pink carpet, and she said no.
Drew: Why did you ask her? You know Dad's the one that spoils you.
Tonya: You think he'd give me pink carpet?
Drew: Yeah. He never says no to you. But I asked him for a suit, and he said no.
Tonya: You asked him already?
Drew: Yeah.
Tonya: You should have asked Mama. You know she don't like a suit raggedy.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] That was the moment Drew discovered the oldest parent trick in the book. When one parent says no, just ask the other one.
Drew: You know what? I got an idea.

Girl: Hi, Chris.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] If they were miracle socks, I would have had a shot, but they were only lucky socks, so I just got a smile.
Chris: I don't care what you say. The socks work.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] If O.J. Simpson had been wearing these socks, he'd be covering football games now.

Ms. Morello: Okay, don't forget to study for your history test on Monday. It'll be on people in history who have achieved their goals against all odds.
Greg: You want to study after school?
Chris: I don't need to study. I got my lucky socks.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] That night, even my dreams were lucky.
[dream sequence: Chris wakes up to a masked man in his room:]
Jason: Calm down! Calm down.
Chris: You scared the heck out of me.
Jason: Listen, I'm just looking for the woods.
Chris: Wait. You're not going to kill me?
Jason: Why would I do that?
Chris: Okay, you go downstairs, make a left. Go down the corner, make another left, and there should be a park about a mile away.
Jason: Thanks. Hey, by the way, you know the date?
Chris: Thursday the 12th.
Jason: Thanks.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Later, I had one of those dreams where I was falling and Jennifer Beals caught me.

Chris: Where are my lucky socks? Who took my lucky socks?
Drew: Wasn't me.
Rochelle: Those socks were stinking up this whole room. I got them things out of here. You're lucky you didn't die from the smell.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Hey, that was a lucky scent.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Tonya and Drew thought they had pulled it off. Then the "it" hit the fan.
Drew: Tonya, why are you moving furniture?
Tonya: Because Daddy's giving me pink carpet.
Rochelle: Julius!
Julius: Drew, where'd you get that suit?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] The Peach Suit Warehouse.
Drew: Mama bought it for me.
Julius: That's $63.72 worth of suit. Rochelle!

Rochelle: I told Tonya she couldn't have pink carpet. Why would you say yes when I said no?
Julius: I didn't know she asked you first. But what I want to know is, why you spent money on a suit for Drew after I told him no?
Rochelle: Well, if you would have asked me, I would have told you it was okay.
Julius: Wait a minute. So when you say something's okay, it's okay, but when I say something's okay, it's not?!
Rochelle: Sure.
Julius: What kind of sense does that make?
Rochelle: It makes perfect sense. And besides, I am not going to have my baby on stage looking like he can't sing.
Julius: Well, I'm not going to have my baby walking around acting like she can't have... pink carpet on the floor.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Talking to my father always made me feel better. And maybe he was right. Maybe it wasn't the socks after all. [Chris is soaked as a taxi drives through a puddle] Wrong!

Adult Chris: [v.o.] As for me, I was still as lucky as a three-leaf clover.
Chris: Hey, man, I forgot my bus pass again. Can I just go ahead?
Bus Driver: Yeah, you can just go ahead. You can just go ahead and jog alongside the bus. Go on, go on. [snarls] Kids.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] On the second bus, my luck got worse.
Chris: Hi, Darlene.
Darlene: Who are you?
Chris: I'm Chris. Remember? You said you liked my name.
Darlene: I really don't care. Who the hell do you think you are? Just because somebody sits down, doesn't mean you have to talk to them. Do I look like I want to talk? And what the hell kind of name is Chris anyway? What you need to do, is you need to sit down, shut up and ride the bus to wherever you got to go.
