Quote from Greg
Chris: She said hi. So what?
Greg: No, she said, "Hi, Chris and Greg." You were nowhere near me. I've got no identity. I'm sick of it. I'm not Greg, I'm Chris-and-Greg. I'm just a sidekick.
Chris: You're not a sidekick.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] That's what Batman told Robin.
Greg: Yeah, you're right. Sidekicks have their own identities. Tonto, Hutch, Watson, Robin, Kato, Tattoo, Chong, Poncho, 99, Tubbs. I don't want to be Chris-and- Greg for the rest of my life.
[fantasy - a newscast:]
News Anchor: Governor Chris-and-Greg was arrested today on prostitution and racketeering charges. Governor Chris-and-Greg was elected two years ago on a law and order platform, and now Governor Chris-and-Greg faces up to three years in prison.
[reality:]
Greg: Why is it Chris and Greg anyways? Why isn't it Greg and Chris?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Because it's not your show.

Rochelle: Oh, well, since you got so much sleep, you go get dinner. Sit down, kids.
Quote from Adult Chris
