Rochelle Quote #28

Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates Sausage

Rochelle: Come on, baby, you can do it. Just try it. A little bit.
Tonya: Okay. [eats a tiny bite of sausage] It's good.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Now I'd love to sit here and tell you that we had the sort of loving family that worked out all its problems with love, compassion and patience, that we ended every day with hugs and laughter... But here's what really happened that night:
Rochelle: Baby, just try it, okay?
Tonya: But I don't like it.
Rochelle: You're going to eat this sausage! Do you hear me?! God, do you think I'm playing with you?! [all clamoring]
Julius: Oh, no! No! Rochelle! No! Rochelle! Rochelle, no, no, no, no!
Adult Chris: [v.o.] It took us about an hour to get my mother off of Tonya's behind, but eventually, Tonya did eat her sausage. And as for my mother, well, to this very day, she still ain't raising no babies.

Julius: Baby, if she doesn't eat they could call child welfare on us.
