Chris Quote #69

Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates Greg

Adult Chris: [v.o.] My sister Tonya was the baby of the family, so she was used to go wherever she felt like. When you have more kids than parents, one of the kids gets a kid. I got Tonya.
[When Chris sees Tonya holding a match in front of the gas stove, he imagines the entire floor of the building blown out by a gas explosion]
Chris: Are you crazy?
Tonya: I was trying to make some hot chocolate.
Chris: Well, that's not the way you do it. Why don't you ask somebody for help before you start messing things up. And give me the matches! Are you trying to blow the house up?
Rochelle: Chris, I smelled...
[Rochelle imagines the same gas explosion]
Rochelle: No! Goodness! Boys are you crazy? Are you trying to blow the all house up?
Tonya: I tried to tell him.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Little sisters, you can't live with them. And they can accidentally turn up missing.

Quote from Rochelle

Rochelle: What, they don't have a phone at Greg's house? Look, I don't care where you are. You be like E.T., you phone home! I need to know where you are, who you're with and what you're doing.

Rochelle: How do I know that?
