Rochelle Quote #22
Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates Sausage
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I didn't tell my mother I was in detention because then she'd come up to school. And there's nothing worse than a mad Black woman at an all-White school.
Rochelle: I thought I told you to be here, so I pick up my check.
Chris: I missed my bus.
Rochelle: What were you doing that you missed your bus?
Chris: Uh, I... Uh, I just forgot?
Rochelle: Oh. So you forgot to come home?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I'll look pathetic and she'll take pity. Uh-uh.
Chris: What's this?
Rochelle: It's a bucket and a mop for mopping. Do the steps, the bathroom and the hall. This will help you to remember to get your butt home on time. I'm going to pick up my check.

Quote from Rochelle
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My father always worked two jobs, which made my mother so comfortable, she'd quit her job over anything.
[flashback to Rochelle as a waitress:]
Woman: Check, please?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And I mean anything.
Rochelle: Now, do I look like I have your check? All that hollering at people. I don't need this. My husband has two jobs. I don't need to be here right now.
[flashback to Rochelle as a receptionist:]
Man: Hold my calls.
Rochelle: Who are you hollering at? "Hold my calls." Hold your own damn call! I do not need this! My man has two jobs!
Quote from Rochelle
Julius: Baby, if she doesn't eat they could call child welfare on us.
Rochelle: Mm-mm, Julius, that little girl is testing me. And if I let her tell me what she will and won't eat; the next thing you know, she'll be telling me what she will and won't wear. Then, the next thing you know, she'll be telling me when she will and won't come home! And then the next thing you know, she's going to end up pregnant... And I ain't taking care of no babies.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My mother always thought anything that Tonya did wrong would eventually get her pregnant. And she ain't taking care of no babies.
