Jerome Quote #24
Quote from Jerome in Everybody Hates Driving
Jerome: You got the car. Why don't you drive to school?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Because it'll be the last ride I ever take.
Chris: Because I'm not supposed to be driving. I'm supposed to be parking. Plus, I don't even have my license.
Jerome: Well, I'm just saying if you doing something you ain't supposed to be doing, you might as well do something you supposed to do.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Sounds crazy, makes sense.
Chris: I guess.
Jerome: Hey, you think you could stop by and pick me up on your way home from school?
Chris: No!
Jerome: All right. Let me hold a dollar; I need bus fare.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] What about my gas money to bring you here?
Jerome: Thanks, little dude. Remember what I showed you.
