Rochelle Quote #233
Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates Kris
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Holiday cheer was going all around. But there was something else going around the city: the flu.
Drew: Ma, do we have to wear all this stuff?
Rochelle: Yes. There's a bad strain of the flu going around and I don't need anybody getting sick. Feel like my throat is a little scratchy.
Tonya: But we already got our flu shots.
Rochelle: You did, but Chris didn't. Chris, I want you to meet me after school so you can get yours. But in the meantime, I want you to stay away from other kids. Don't touch anything. Don't even breathe unless you have to. Now go. Go, go, go.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] If it was up to my mother, she would've sent me to school like this.
[fantasy: Chris is at his desk enclosed in a perspex box with an air vent]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Looks like I should be selling subway tokens.
