Adult Chris Quote #16
Quote from Adult Chris in Everybody Hates Basketball
Adult Chris: [v.o.] The toughest thing about going to a new school was making friends. At my old school, there were tons of kids just like me. But at Corleone, I didn't fit in anywhere. Not with the jocks, not with the smart kids, not with the troublemakers... and definitely not with the theater crowd. Look at him dance. He went on to become the first Laker Boy. The only group I fit in with were the nerds.
Boy: Yeah! [Caruso steals his Rubik's Cube] Hey! Give it back.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] What'd he say that for? [Caruso throws the Rubik's Cube at the kid's head] Maybe theater isn't so bad.

Chris: How do you know? All she said was "Good morning."
