Julius Quote #97

Quote from Julius in Everybody Hates Funerals

Julius: Chris, you know you're going to have to apologize to your grandmother.
Chris: How come? She's the one who's been mean to Mom.
Julius: She's hurting, Chris, and your mother is, too. I know you're trying to protect your mother, but trust me, you do not want to get between the two of them. You ain't gonna win that one. I'm already going to one funeral. I ain't trying to go to another one.
Chris: Well, then what do I do?
Julius: Do what I do: nothing. Things will work out. All right? Apologize.
