Ms. Morello Quote #6

Quote from Ms. Morello in Everybody Hates the Class President

Ms. Morello: I know you're having a tough time getting on that ballot, but I think you have a real chance at becoming class president if you really want it.
Chris: What do you mean?
Ms. Morello: You need to rise above your ghetto mentality.
Chris: Ghetto mentality? I don't have a ghetto mentality.
Ms. Morello: You do, Chris. A psychological ghetto. You won't get supporters because you don't get out of your comfort zone. I'm sure all your athlete and dancer friends have signed on, but what now? You need to reach out, broaden your appeal.
Chris: And how am I supposed to do that?
Ms. Morello: I don't know. But I'm confident you'll figure it out. And remember, Chris: Up with hope, down with dope.

Quote from Tonya

Adult Chris: [v.o.] In 1984, Michael Jackson became the biggest star on Earth, but to my sister Tonya, he couldn't hold a candle to Billy Ocean.
Drew: What are you doing?
Tonya: I'm learning the steps from "Caribbean Queen."
Drew: There are no steps to "Caribbean Queen."
Tonya: Yes, there are. First he does like this, then he does like this, then he does like this, and then he does this, and he finishes off with this. He also does the moonwalk, but I don't know how to do that yet.
Drew: Billy Ocean doesn't moonwalk. That's Michael Jackson's move.
Tonya: Where do you think Michael got it from?
