Ms. Morello Quote #71
Quote from Ms. Morello in Everybody Hates the G.E.D.
Ms. Morello: Here. Just for the record, Chris, you can't afford to be late again. The clocks in this school are set to Eastern Standard Time, not CP time.
Chris: What difference does it make? We took all our tests. We only got, like, one more week to go.
Ms. Morello: Counting today, you have been late 29 times this year, and 30 is the limit. If you're late again, you will not be promoted. You will have to repeat the tenth grade.
Chris: Say what?
Ms. Morello: Say word.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Oh, there's a word I want to say, all right.

Quote from Ms. Morello
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Usually, my mother was my judge, jury and executioner, but now she was my lawyer.
Rochelle: Why does he have to repeat the entire tenth grade? Can't he just repeat one day?
Ms. Morello: Let me put it in your vernacular. Rules is rules. [snaps fingers]
Rochelle: What did you say?
Chris: It's okay, Ma. She does that. I'll explain it later.
Quote from Julius
Pam: Hey, Julius, what are you doing over here? You need a shave?
Julius: No. I need $25.
Pam: $25? I don't know, that's a lot. I'm not comfortable with loaning out that kind of money.
Julius: Neither was I when I loaned it to you. Can I get my money back, please?
Pam: Oh, my God, I forgot all about that.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] How do you forget where you got some free money?
Julius: How do you forget where you got some free money? I found $20 dollars one time. I was on Flatbush Avenue in front of the check-cashing place. It was 5:07 p.m. on a Wednesday. Sixty-four degrees. I remember it like it was yesterday. I found a 10, a 5, a $2 bill, $2 and 50 cents in quarters, three nickels and 25 pennies. One of them was Canadian.
Quote from Joey Caruso
Joey Caruso: Hey, Kelly, Alex. So is it true, you flunked out?
Chris: I didn't flunk out. But I am leaving school.
Joey Caruso: Cool. You want to hang out sometime?
Chris: You're kidding me, right?
Joey Caruso: No, I mean, I've been beating the crap out of you all these years, because secretly, I've been envious of your determination and your accomplishments. I was only trying to crush your spirit so I wouldn't feel inferior. But now that you're dropping out, society will take over, so we can hang.
Chris: So who are you gonna pick on when I'm gone?
[Greg turns away as Caruso's eyes land on him]
Greg: Just give me a minute. [looks off into the distance] All right, go ahead. [Caruso punches Greg]
