Rochelle Quote #430
Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates Ex-Cons
Alyson: Hey. Um, I just came by to apologize.
Rochelle: Really?
Alyson: Yeah, Latrinda went and got herself in more trouble. She said if it was okay for me to act this way, then why wasn't it okay for her?
Rochelle: That's a good question. What did you tell her?
Alyson: I just told her, I said, "Look, I'm your mother and if you don't straighten up, then I'm gonna knock the medulla out of your oblongata."
Rochelle: That's what I'm talking about! Good for you, girl.
Alyson: So, um, anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for talking to me the way that you did. It really helped.
Rochelle: Any time.
Alyson: And you know, who knows? Maybe sometimes, Latrinda can come over again...
Rochelle: Take care, girl. [closes the door]

Quote from Manny
Manny: Well, the man was asking for your help, and you turned him down. Sometimes people need a hand. Now, back when I had troubles, if it wasn't for Supercuts Johnson, I don't know where I'd be today.
Risky: Supercuts Johnson? Who's that?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Anywhere relation to Jehri Curl Johnson?
Manny: He was a barber when I was doing time in prison. He used to cut hair on death row.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Why would you want to get your hair cut when you're on death row?
James: You was in the joint?
Manny: Oh, yeah.
Monk: Man, what'd you do?
Manny: You know that tag on the mattress that says "Do not pull off"? I pulled that thing off. Do not pull that tag off, man. They are not playing with y'all.
Quote from Ms. Morello
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Since I didn't know how to get Malvo past the eighth grade, I decided to ask a professional.
Ms. Morello: Chris, this is wonderful. You're like a one-man Operation PUSH.
Chris: Thank you.
Ms. Morello: And Malvo, with the proper education, you can do so many things. You could be a garbage collector, garbage truck driver, garbage truck dispatcher. The list is endless.
Chris: So what do you think we should do next?
Ms. Morello: I've got an idea. Why don't you sit in - which your people have historically been good at - and audit my class?
Malvo: "Audit" means to attend classes or lectures as an auditor. Auditor means "hearer" or "listener."
Quote from Ms. Morello
Chris: So, how would that help him?
Ms. Morello: Well, if he's preparing for an equivalency test, he needs classroom experience. It'll help him get acclimated.
Malvo: Acclimated: "to accustom or to become accustomed to a new climate or an environment."
Ms. Morello: [laughs]
Chris: Thank you, Miss Morello.
Malvo: Yes, thank you.
Ms. Morello: Chris, I think this is a great way for you to get your father off the streets.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And in her bed.
