Adult Chris: [v.o.] Meanwhile, my mother was wearing out shoes looking for a hat.
Vanessa: Rochelle, this is the sixth hat shop we've been to today.
Rochelle: Yeah, but they say this is the best hat shop in Brooklyn.
Vanessa: Why didn't we come here first?
Rochelle: Well, how would I know if it's the best hat shop if I didn't visit all the lousy ones first?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] That's how Vanessa looked for a husband.

Adult Chris: [v.o.] The biggest deal at our house on Easter was my mother's church hat because a church hat on Easter was like a gown at the Oscars.
[fantasy: Shaun Robinson hosts a Red Carpet special outside Julius and Rochelle's door:]
Shaun Robinson: Hey, girl! Here she comes. Rochelle? Rochelle?
Rochelle: Hi, Shaun.
Shaun Robinson: Oh, that hat is fabulous!
Rochelle: Thank you.
Shaun Robinson: Who is it?
Rochelle: It's a Sean Gianni Vermani.
Shaun Robinson: Love you, girl. You look fabulous!
Rochelle: Come on, Julius.
Julius: Oh, yes.

Rochelle: Julius, come back here. I need you to help me pick out my Easter hat.
Julius: I'd rather pick cotton.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] It would be less backbreaking.
Julius: Rochelle, we've been doing this for months. Just pick one.
Rochelle: Julius, you just don't pick out a hat. A hat picks you. Okay, now tell me, which one of these will look better on me?
Julius: I don't know. Where's your dress?
Rochelle: I put it on layaway. It's not out yet. Ooh, which reminds me, I need ten dollars.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My mother didn't put the dress on layaway because it was expensive. She just started planning for Easter at Thanksgiving.
[flashback:]
Chris: Mom, why is this cranberry sauce shaped like a rabbit?
Rochelle: Because I was testing out my new Easter molds. [holds a plate with a cross-shaped blob of gravy] Who wants gravy?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Nobody!
