Adult Chris: [v.o.] I always felt like an outsider at Corleone, but I never felt more like an outsider than when it was time for the ninth grade dance.
Greg: So, you going to the dance?
Chris: You're joking, right?
Greg: No, seriously. I think it's going to be cool.
Chris: For who?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] When it came to dances, there were two kinds: the White kind... and the Black kind.
Chris: Why would I go to that dance anyway? It's just a bunch of people who hate me, hating me in a room while dancing.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] We could film it and call it Dancing with the Bigots.

Greg: Well, I'm going.
Chris: Yeah, right. With who?
Girl: What are you looking at?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Not her!
Greg: Look. There's only so many athletes. They can't get all the girls.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Try telling that to the Knicks.
Greg: Dude, come on. I mean, when you look back on your last year in junior high school, what are you gonna tell people?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] "I got my ass kicked at the ninth grade dance."

Drew: Hey, Uncle Ryan! What's up?
Julius: Ryan?
Ryan: Man, why you got to say it like that? You sound like I found you in witness protection.
Julius: All I want to know is, what big plans you have this time.
Ryan: Why I got to have big plans? How come I can't just be coming through to say hello?
Julius: Because you're not.

Drew: Oh, man, a car dealership? Man, that is so cool. You should sell Ferraris.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] He'll have to steal them first.
Julius: A car dealership? All I see is a vacant lot.
Ryan: That's 'cause you got no vision.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] No, that's because it's a vacant lot.
Julius: Look, you know how people have their cars repossessed, right? Well, you could buy those cars at an auto auction for, like, three, $400, then sell them for four times as much.
Drew: Oh, man. Then we could use the extra money to buy a new car.
Julius: You know I don't like loaning money.
Ryan: No, don't think of it as a loan. You're letting your money work for you. Think of it as getting your money a job.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Looks like my dad's getting a snow job.
Julius: How much you need?

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Meanwhile, Greg made one small step for nerds, one giant step for nerd-kind.
Greg: I got a date to the dance.
Chris: With who?
Greg: Jennifer.
Chris: Doesn't she hate you?
Greg: Well, she does, but she also needs a math tutor. I told her I'd get her a B, and she agreed to walk in with me and dance with me twice.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] In Greg's world, that was second base.

Chris: Wow. I asked just about every girl in my neighborhood, and they all said no.
Greg: Well, why don't you just ask somebody here?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] In all our time as friends, this is the closest I ever came to punching Greg in the face.
Chris: How am I gonna get a girl from this school to go with me?
Greg: Just ask somebody.
Chris: I did. I asked Lisa, Sydney, Darlene, and they all said no.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I even asked Ms. Morello.
[flashback:]
Ms. Morello: Chris, I'm flattered, but no.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Where's Mary Kay Letourneau when you need her?

Greg: Would you ask her?
Chris: Oh, excuse me?
Girl: Buzz off, sidekick.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I'm not the sidekick. He's the sidekick.
Greg: Sorry, dude.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Not to mention, lonely dude.

Chris: How long has she been in our class?
Greg: Since we got here.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I had never paid much attention to her, but when I thought back, she was there when I first got to Corleone.
[flashback to Chris's fight with Caruso on the first day, Carrie is standing by the side watching]
Chris: Oh, yeah, now I remember her. How do you know she's not going?
Greg: Well, Jennifer told me. I mean, she wants to go, just nobody's asked her yet, and she really doesn't care who she goes with.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] No standards, no problem.

Rochelle: Okay, well, this looks like everything.
Tonya: Yeah. Slippers, leg warmers, tights, hair band, leotard, sweater, tutu, stretching bar and mirrors for the wall. You spent a lot of money.
Rochelle: Baby, when you are up there in your first performance of Swan Lake, oh, it will all be worth it.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] So I guess that means Swan Lake pays $92.87.
Rochelle: So, now all we got to do is sign you up for class.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And help her develop an eating disorder.
Rochelle: Put this on. Oh, cute.
Tonya: That is cute.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Since I was going to the dance with Carrie, I tried to get to know her a little better. We did a little walking, a little talking and a little eating.
Chris: So, you've been here the whole time, and you don't have any friends?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] What are you, Black?
Carrie: I don't like that many people.
Chris: I got the exact opposite problem. Not too many people like me.
