Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates Food Stamps
Julius: You know what? Instead of spending all that money on ourselves, why don't you, me and the kids go to the movies on Friday?
Rochelle: Well, isn't that expensive?
Julius: We got it. It could be fun. We could go see Rocky III at the dollar show. The kids love Rocky.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Usually, my mother would jump at going to the movies, because with three kids, she never had time. As a matter of fact, here's the last movie she saw.
[opening credits of "Super Fly"]
Rochelle: Movies are on TV every Friday, you know? There's no gum on the floor, no rats running through the aisles.You can get up and go to the bathroom as much as you like. As a matter of fact, Friday night, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is on. Why would I need to go to the movies?
Julius: Because you're always complaining about how I never take you to the movies.
Rochelle: Well, I'm tired, you know? I just want to stay home.
Julius: Okay.
