Adult Chris Quote #6
Quote from Adult Chris in Everybody Hates the Pilot
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I had to take two buses to school everyday. Was the junior high school across the street really that bad? [gunshots] [children scream] Like rock 'n roll, school shootings were also invented by Blacks and stolen by the White man. My first bus was the 26. I read the newspaper every single day. I learnt more in the way to school than I learnt at school. My next bus was the 44. I was the only Black person on the bus. And nobody was sitting next to me. [Chris moves over to let a pregnant White woman sit down; she shakes her head and remains standing] I mean nobody. If you think she's mad now, wait 'til her daughter brings home O.J.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] I didn't tell him about the fight. My dad went to school during the Civil Rights era. After hoses, tanks and dog bites on your ass, somehow Joey Caruso didn't compare.
Chris: Yeah, it was all right.
Julius: Good. I'll see you in the morning.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My father wasn't the type to say "I love you". He was one of four fathers on the block. "I'll see you in the morning" meant he was coming home. Coming home was his way of saying "I love you".
Julius: Unplug that clock, boy. You can't tell time when you sleep. That's 2 cents an hour.
