Rochelle Quote #428
Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates Ex-Cons
Rochelle: Now, how would I know?
Alyson: Well, I called Latrinda from work. She says Tonya's coming over. I get to the house, nobody's there, so, obviously, Tonya dragged her off to God knows where.
Rochelle: So you're telling me that Latrinda's gone off someplace and you think Tonya has something to do with it?
Alyson: Uh, yeah.
Rochelle: Tonya?
Tonya: Yes, Mama?
Rochelle: Do you have any idea where Latrinda is?
Tonya: No.
Rochelle: Don't lie to me.
Tonya: She's at Black Paul's house.
Rochelle: Black Paul?!
Alyson: Black Paul?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Oh, Lordy, not Black Paul!
Tonya: She asked me to go with her and I said I couldn't come.
Rochelle: Does this answer your question?
Alyson: Yeah, thank you. Oh, um, excuse me. Does, um... Does Tonya know where, exactly, Black Paul lives?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Next door to Brown Willy's house.

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.
