Tonya Quote #37

Quote from Tonya in Everybody Hates the Class President

Tonya: Can you teach me to moonwalk? I can't get it.
Drew: Why do you like Billy Ocean so much, anyway?
Tonya: Because, he's the greatest entertainer in history.
Drew: He's not better than Michael Jackson.
Tonya: Shoot, he's way better than Michael Jackson. I bet you in the future, 20 years from now, nobody's going to remember who Michael Jackson is.
Drew: That's why I'm not going to teach you how to do the Michael Jackson moonwalk.
Tonya: It's the Billy Ocean moonwalk. Michael Jackson stole it.
Drew: Fine. Have it your way.

Quote from Rochelle

Rochelle: Baby, what do you have to be stressed out about? You have a beautiful wife, two good jobs, and three wonderful kids, a nice home in Bed-Stuy... [chuckles] You're stressed? I mean, I'm the one who should be stressed. I mean, I got to deal with a house in the ghetto, three crazy kids, a man that's never home, and now I got to deal with you and this high blood pressure. [scoffing] You- You're stressed.

Quote from Tonya

Adult Chris: [v.o.] In 1984, Michael Jackson became the biggest star on Earth, but to my sister Tonya, he couldn't hold a candle to Billy Ocean.
Drew: What are you doing?
Tonya: I'm learning the steps from "Caribbean Queen."
Drew: There are no steps to "Caribbean Queen."
Tonya: Yes, there are. First he does like this, then he does like this, then he does like this, and then he does this, and he finishes off with this. He also does the moonwalk, but I don't know how to do that yet.
Drew: Billy Ocean doesn't moonwalk. That's Michael Jackson's move.
Tonya: Where do you think Michael got it from?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Peg Leg Bates.
