Greg Quote #147
Quote from Greg in Everybody Hates Graduation
Adult Chris: [v.o.] As graduation got closer, I thought about my days at Corleone. It had been tough, but the one good thing was that Greg was always there. We got beaten up together.
Joey Caruso: Hey, Zephyr. [Greg runs away]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And, of course, we hung out after school together.
Greg: [knocking inside his locker] Do you think it's safe to go out yet?
Chris: [inside his locker] No, we'd better give it another hour.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And now we'd be going to high school together.
Greg: Dude, I've got some bad news. I'm not going to high school with you.
Chris: What?!
Greg: My mother submitted me for a scholarship to the Bronx Academy of Science without telling me.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Better than the time she submitted him for adoption without telling him.

Quote from Ms. Morello
Mr. Perkins: Can I have their fathers' names?
Rochelle: Ju...? Their fathers? No, no, no. They have one father.
Mr. Perkins: Do you know his name?
Rochelle: Where are you getting this information?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I'll tell you where he's getting it.
[flashback: Ms. Morello addresses the camera in her class room:]
Ms. Morello: Unfortunately, I think Chris is a crack baby. The mother's a little delusional. Her brain is addled by years of drug abuse and cheap wine spo-dee-o-dee. She's actually convinced herself that she has a husband who works two jobs and that they own a house in the ghetto. You can't believe a word she says. [drinks chocolate milk]
Quote from Ms. Morello
Ms. Morello: Well, as crazy as it may seem, it turns out your father really does have two jobs. You're mother's not a heroin addict. She's even got a job. And apparently, you do own that house. Your family's doing far too well for you to qualify for financial aid. Chris, why did you lie?
Greg: So what does this mean?
Ms. Morello: I'm sorry, but it looks like you're going to Tattaglia after all.
Chris: But this isn't fair.
Ms. Morello: I know, but always remember this. When you get to the other side of the river, the streets of heaven will be lined with gold for you, me and all God's chillins.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I was still in shock, so I didn't have the presence of mind to smack her upside the head and run.
Quote from Rochelle
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Graduating from Corleone was one of the best days of my life, because I was surrounded by my family, and this was the one day I wasn't going to get punched, kicked, beat down or talked about.
Rochelle: Straighten out your cap and gown, boy. And do not get on that stage and embarrass me in front of these White people, or else I'll slap the pomp out of your circumstances.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Scratch that.
