Rochelle: Oh, hey, baby. How was work?
Julius: Hard.
Rochelle: You know, I was thinking that maybe we should go out, you know? Have dinner relax a little.
Julius: Why would I go out to relax, when I can relax at home for free?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] That was my father's rationale for everything.
[flashback:]
Julius: $20 to get in the club? We can dance at home for free.

Tonya: Does Yvette live with you?
Mrs. Sanders: Yes. Why?
Tonya: My mama said if I have a baby before I get married, she says she's putting me out because she ain't raising no babies. You like raising babies?
Mrs. Sanders: No.
Tonya: How come you didn't put her out?
Mrs. Sanders: How old are you?
Tonya: Nine.

Mario: I'm Mario. Is that my baby?
Chris: I don't know. Is it?
Mario: I know. He takes after his mom.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] We didn't know if it was his baby, either. But trust me, there ain't no Black man picking up a baby that ain't his.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] I wanted this to be a good night for my parents. And I didn't want my father to think I couldn't handle things. So, I decided to keep everything that happened to myself.
Julius: You know, Yvette, are you free next Friday?
Chris: No, no, no, no, no! She left us to go get a baby. But then when she came back, she burnt your chicken. So then, this guy came to the door asking for the baby. He said his name was Mario and he was the baby's father. So then when he left, she came back, and the baby wasn't here. So then she went too get baby back, her mother came the door looking for her and the baby. So then they had a big fight about where to live. She said she'd live at Mario's house. Who is Mario?! So then when she came back, she started braiding Tonya's hair. Drew got to watch the game, you guys came back. She's trying to make it look like everything was all peachy and fine. It's not!
Julius: I told you we should have let Chris baby-sit. Girl, give me my money back.
Rochelle: I'm going to kick her ass. Hold my wig.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Thanks to Drew and Tonya, I was taking care of kids until I was taking care of my own kids.
Tonya: Chris, get me some potato chips.
Drew: Chris, help me with my homework.
Tonya: Chris, find my doll.
Drew: Chris, go make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Tonya: Chris, make me some Kool-Aid.
Drew: Chris, strap up my shoe.
[montage:]
Julius: Chris, I'm going to take a shower, watch the kids.
Tonya: Chris, tie my shoe!
Rochelle: Chris, I'm going to pick up my Porgy's. Watch the kids!
Drew: Chris, help! My head is stuck!
Julius: Chris, I'm going to eat some peanuts. Watch the kids.
Rochelle: Chris, I'm going to get my mustache waxed. Watch the kids.
Drew: Chris!
Julius: Chris!
Tonya: Chris!
Rochelle: Chris!
Drew & Tonya: Chris!

Julius: Hey, babe. What's for dinner?
Rochelle: Well, the kids are having chicken.
Julius: What about me?
Rochelle: Well, you got two jobs. You could take your two-job money and go buy you a two-job meal.

Julius: Chris, I don't want that girl calling us. So if there's a problem handle it. Me and your mother don't go out often, so I don't want nothing to spoil it. Here. [gives Chris money]
Chris: Whoa, what's this?
Julius: That's emergency money.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My father believed there's nothing $10 couldn't fix.
Chris: What if something costs $11?
Julius: Talk them down to ten.

Cashier: Welcome to Pastures and Shores. May I take your order?
Rochelle: Okay, I'll have the all-you-can-eat shrimp and sirloin combo, well done, order of coleslaw and a Coke.
Cashier: And you, sir?
Julius: I'll have the ultimate surf and turf and a large Coke.
Cashier: [cash register dings] That'll be $17.99.
Rochelle: Wait, baby. Are you sure we can afford this?
Julius: It's okay. I have coupons.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] If there was a coupon for something, my father had it.
[flashback to a meter maid writing a ticket:]
Julius: Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Meter Maid: What's this?
Julius: A coupon. No tickets on Tuesday.

Cashier: This doesn't include the all-you-can-eat shrimp and sirloin combo.
Rochelle: Oh, you know what? I'll just order something else. I'll take the...
Julius: No, it's okay. I want everything to be perfect. Get what you want. I'll pay for it.
[As Julius gets his wallet out, he hesitates before handing over the cash]
Cashier: Is there a problem?
Julius: Can I have my coupon?

Manager: Is everybody okay?
Julius: No, we're not okay, man, we just got robbed.
Rochelle: Julius.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] After everything that happened you would expect my mother's reaction to be a little like this...
Rochelle: You are such a brave man. Oh, baby, thank you for taking me to dinner and standing up to those robbers. Oh, baby, I love you so much.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Instead, it went a little something like this.
Rochelle: Are you crazy? What were you thinking arguing with a masked gunman?! You could have been killed! Do you think I got married to raise three kids by myself? The next time somebody tries to rob us, get robbed! Let's go!
