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]
