Adult Chris: [v.o.] My father was out of the doghouse but Jerome was still stuck in the big house.
Chris: [answers phone] Hello?
Jerome: Little dude from across the street?
Chris: Jerome?
Jerome: Yo, you got to get me out of here, man. People think I'm a snitch.
Chris: And how am I supposed to do that?
Jerome: I ain't no snitch, so even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you. All I know is I'm in here because of you, so either we both gonna be out or we both gonna be in. You decide.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Since we had gotten off to a bad start, I was praying for a bad finish.
Kelly: That was so funny when you ran away. You're fast.
Chris: You thought that was funny?
Kelly: You didn't see what it looked like. Besides, that guy didn't scare me.
Chris: He didn't?
Kelly: No, I could see his thumb sticking out of his gun pocket.
Chris: Didn't he take all your money?
Kelly: No, he didn't. I keep my money in my bra. All he got was some eye drops and some rash cream.
[elsewhere:]
Jerome: Eye drops and rash cream? Damn! Little dude owes me a dollar.

Jerome: Lemonade?
Ryan: Not "lemonade." "Laminated." It means "covered in plastic." I want you to get these laminated, so they look like the real thing. When it's done, take 'em to Chris.
Jerome: Cool.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] Since I didn't get to cram on my test, there was only one thing left to do.
Chris: Hey, Jerome.
Jerome: Little dude from across the street. Let me hold a dollar.
Chris: I'll let you hold $20. I need the answer key to the PSAT test.
Jerome: Now you're thinking.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] I soon found out that buying a used car wasn't easy. You had to watch out for scams.
Dealer: $300? That car's gone. But we got this one. Only $15,000. $300 down, $300 a month for 300 months.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And some deals were just too good to be true.
Jerome: That's right, little dude. This car is brand-new. And I'm gonna let you have it for only $300.
Man: Hey, fool! Get off my new car!
Jerome: All right, all right.

Jerome: Little dude, you snitched?
Chris: Yeah.
Jerome: Thanks.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] That day I learned people don't like it when a snitch puts them in jail, but they sure don't mind it when a snitch gets them out.

Jerome: Hey! Little dude from across the street.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Usually Jerome would rob me, but not when I was about to play Asteroids.
Jerome: You getting ready to play Asteroids?
Chris: Yes. Some guy beat my score.
Jerome: For real? Oh, no! I know you're not gonna take that, man. You'd better protect your rep.

Jerome: Yo, little dude. Your old lady mad at you, huh?
Chris: She's not my old lady.
Jerome: What? Y'all broke up?
Chris: Hey, well...
Jerome: I know. I know.

Chris: Who's that?
Tasha: I don't know.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I had worked to make this the perfect night, nothing could ruin it...
ALL: Hey!
Adult Chris: [v.o.] ...except this.
Jerome: We're here, youngblood. We're here.
Monk: Hey, man, why don't you check and see if they got something to drink in the refrigerator?
Jerome: Hey, put the tape on, little dude.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Hey, get of here, big dude.

Jerome: Not bad. Not bad at all.
Pretty Girl: Hey, Chris.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] It's working already?!
Pretty Girl: Let me hold a dollar.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Here's my self-respect, too. Keep the change.
Jerome: Well, got to go, little dude from across the street. Stay cool.
