Mechanic: Well, seems like it's in pretty good shape, except for one thing. This car has been underwater.
Ryan: Underwater?
Mechanic: Yup.
Julius: Well, can you fix it?
Ryan: Yeah, but it's gonna cost you about $900.
Drew: What?! $900? We could take the parts out and sell them and get more than we bought it for.
Mechanic: Did anybody ask you?

Chris: Hey, Carrie, can I talk to you for a minute?
Carrie: Sure.
Chris: I've been thinking about this dance.
Carrie: Me, too. I don't even know what I'm gonna wear. What about you? What are you wearing?
Chris: Nothing. 'Cause I'm not going.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] When we come back, I'm gonna make matters worse by hitting her with a bucket of blood.

Rochelle: Oh, baby, I forgot to tell you, Tonya's taking ballet lessons.
Julius: Ballet? How much does that cost?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Too, too much.
Rochelle: You're supposed to say, "Oh, baby, that's great! Good luck!"
Julius: Oh, baby, that's great. Good luck. How much?
Rochelle: Not much, I just had to buy her an outfit and a few other things.

Rochelle: Well, what happened with you and Ryan?
Julius: Nothing.
Drew: Hey, Ma, did Dad tell you about the car that we bought that was dragged out of the river?
Rochelle: What?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Note to self: when doing wrong, leave Drew at home.
Rochelle: So you bought a car?
Julius: It's a long story.
Rochelle: No, it's not. All you had to do was say, "Baby, I bought a car."

Julius: Hey, man. Did you find a girl to take to the dance?
Chris: Yep.
Rochelle: Oh, that's great. Did you find an outfit to wear?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Do you have something in a white-skin?
Chris: I'm not going.
Rochelle: Why not?
Chris: 'Cause... no one wants to see me go with a White girl.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Not even blind people.
Rochelle: Aren't you gonna say something?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I guess, "Whew! That was a close one" would be the wrong thing.

Julius: I don't know what you're going to do about this, but I need that money back.
Ryan: Oh, I'm already ahead of you.
Julius: What, you put $400 in my wallet?
Ryan: Don't worry, bro. I got you.
Julius: Where'd you get that?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Sold the car to a dolphin.
Ryan: From my new business, Ryan's Auto Parts. Drew was right. The car had water damage, but the parts were in pretty good shape. So I scrapped it and made 1,100 bucks.
Julius: $1,100?
Ryan: Here, Drew.
Drew: 50 bucks? Ah, cool!
Ryan: Hey, I'm going to head down to the auction and see if I can find another one. You in?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] You insane?
Julius: You know, I think I'm gonna give my money a few days off work.
Drew: I'm in.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Drew's money took my father's money's job and made $150.

Greg: Hey, man, you remember Jennifer, right?
Chris: Hey, Jennifer.
Jennifer: I didn't say you could introduce me to people. The deal is we dance, I stand next to you, you help me with my grade. You want to add things, we have to talk about it.
Greg: I'm just saying "hi" to a friend.
Jennifer: No, I'm saying "hi" to your friend. Let's dance. I don't want this to last any longer than it has to.
Greg: I gotta go.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] After getting talked about, put down, and hated like it was my first day at school, I figured I might as well get something out of going to that dance.
Carrie: What are you doing here?
Chris: I wanted to come to the dance, so I came.
Carrie: Yeah. Me, too.
Chris: I'm sorry for canceling on you.
Carrie: Yeah, well... you did what you had to do.
Chris: So, you want to dance?
Carrie: Why would I want to dance with you?
Chris: 'Cause it looks like it's either me or nobody else.
Carrie: Yes.
Chris: "Yes," what?
Carrie: I want to dance.
Chris: You look nice.
Carrie: Shut up. I'm still mad at you.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Later that night, four guys still beat the crap out of me in the bathroom, but if I hadn't gone to my ninth grade dance, that never would have happened.

Chris: Hey, Carrie, I'm going to lunch. You want to come?
Carrie: No. I wanted to go to the dance. We went. I'm done. You need a friend, talk to somebody else.
Girl: Quit staring at me, bug eyes.
