Chris Quote #13
Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates Basketball
Greg: I mean, I can't blame you. If I were you I'd probably do the same thing. Hey, I think I aced the quiz.
Chris: I know I failed it.
Greg: Wait, but doesn't that mean you can't play ball?
Chris: I wish. Coach Brady found out and he got me a make-up. My mom made me study all night. And if I don't pass, she will kill me.
Greg: But if you do play everybody's going to hate you.
Chris: Not everybody. Just everybody on the team... everybody who likes the team... and everybody else.

Greg: We got a social studies quiz.
