Rochelle Quote #141
Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates Funerals
[Gene appears next to Rochelle while she looks at old photographs and eats her chocolate turtles:]
Gene: I always hated that picture. It made me look like I got smacked in the head with a brick.
Rochelle: Oh, hi, Daddy. You want a Turtle?
Gene: No, but how you doing?
Rochelle: I'm okay. Mama's getting on my last nerve.
Gene: Oh, she can do that. She used to get on my nerves, too. You know, just because I'm dead doesn't mean you have to let her push you around. And if she tries to do that, you smack her in the head with that brick. [Rochelle laughs]
