Rochelle Quote #2
Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates the Pilot
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I was never cool growing up. The coolest thing about me was this pair of white sneakers I had.
Rochelle: Oh, no, no, no, no. Boy, you're not going to school in no sneakers.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Believe it or not, there was a time where you couldn't wear sneakers everywhere.
Chris: Why? Everybody else wears sneakers.
Rochelle: Because you look raggedy. Plus, you have an assembly today. Boy, you have lost your mind.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My mother hated raggedy. She always said it's better to be poor and neat than rich and raggedy. I think she said that because we were poor.
Rochelle: Here. Wear Drew's good shoes.
Chris: I hate these shoes. And everybody will make fun of me at school.
Rochelle: You've only been going there for a week. You don't know everybody.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I was the only Black kid at the school.
Chris: They know me.

Julius: Good. I'll see you in the morning.
