Ms. Morello Quote #51
Quote from Ms. Morello in Everybody Hates Tattaglia
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Before I strangled her, I wanted to know why she did what she did.
Ms. Morello: Chris, when I saw your name on the register, I thought, if you hadn't gotten shot, ended up slinging rock, or become a baby daddy over the summer, that you'd want to get back to something you knew.
Chris: Yeah. I know Black kids, Asians, Latinos. So why can't I be in the homeroom with them?
Ms. Morello: Chris, the Black boys are all in gangs, the girls are all bougie, and don't even get me started on the Puerto Ricans. Boriqua? What is that? What have you got against White people anyway?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Oh, you'll find out.
Chris: Nothing. I just don't want to start every day in a roomful of people who hate me.
Ms. Morello: Tell you what. If you can find a Black friend, or a group of people that you can fit in with that aren't all White, I'll put you in a new homeroom.
Chris: Serious?
Ms. Morello: As a heart attack.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] If I'm lucky, maybe you'll have one before me.
