Drew Quote #45
Quote from Drew in Everybody Hates Superstition
Drew: What's wrong with you?
Tonya: I asked Mama for pink carpet, and she said no.
Drew: Why did you ask her? You know Dad's the one that spoils you.
Tonya: You think he'd give me pink carpet?
Drew: Yeah. He never says no to you. But I asked him for a suit, and he said no.
Tonya: You asked him already?
Drew: Yeah.
Tonya: You should have asked Mama. You know she don't like a suit raggedy.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] That was the moment Drew discovered the oldest parent trick in the book. When one parent says no, just ask the other one.
Drew: You know what? I got an idea.

Quote from Rochelle

Quote from Ms. Morello
Ms. Morello: I hope everyone is prepared for today's history quiz. And, Chris, I hope you weren't too busy taking care of all of your half-brothers and sisters to study.
Quote from Chris
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I had no idea what to say. Without my lucky socks and without studying I was in big, big trouble.
Chris: Um... Many people think that when you succeed against all odds it's by luck. Well, I don't believe in luck. At least not anymore. [clears throat] I mean, was- Was it lucky- Was it lucky when when Rocky beat Mr. T? No, he prepared for it. He prepared by beating Apollo Creed. So now who pities the fool? I mean, was it lucky when Indiana Jones saved those kids from the Temple of Doom? No, he prepared. He prepared by saving the world in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I mean, if you could save the whole world, it's not going to be too hard to save a couple of kids. Was it lucky when King Kong defeated those planes? No, 'cause he didn't defeat the planes. They shot his behind clear off the Empire State Building. Now if King Kong had spent some time learning how to fight some planes instead of chasing a White girl around, he would be alive to this very day. Many people believe that you can succeed against all odds. I don't believe that. I believe the odds are, that if you don't prepare, you won't succeed.
Ms. Morello: Yes! Yes! Yes! [applauase]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] It turns out I didn't need lucky socks. All I needed was to listen to my father.
