Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates the Buddy System
Principal Edwards: Have you ever seen the film The Defiant Ones?
Chris: The Defiant Ones? No. What's that?
Principal Edwards: Two men are shackled together while trying to escape from prison - one White, one Black, one educated, one... They learn they have to depend on each other or perish. That's what I'm going to do for you.
Chris: You're going to chain us together and put us in jail?
Principal Edwards: Yeah! Figuratively. I'm taking some students on a field trip tomorrow. You and Caruso are going to come along. Have your mother sign this. To help you and Caruso learn to depend on each other, I'm going to employ the buddy system.
Chris: The buddy system?
Principal Edwards: You and Caruso are going to be buddies.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Just like the Crips and the Bloods.
