Julius Quote #238
Quote from Julius in Everybody Hates the Guidance Counselor
Tonya: Daddy let us pick out our own clothes.
Rochelle: Well, hopefully you picked out something you liked. I mean, heaven forbid you wake up one day and realize you can't stand it.
Julius: Rochelle, stop it. Okay, just stop it.
Rochelle: What? What are you talking about?
Julius: Rochelle, the reason I said those things to Chris is because nobody said those things to me. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. And, yeah, I mean, I don't get a lot of sleep, and I don't make a lot of money, but I've got you. I've got my kids, and that's all I need.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] At that moment, I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do, but what I wanted to be was just like my father.
Rochelle: Where the hell you get that, from the inside of a card?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Peabo Bryson song.
Julius: That's how I feel.
Rochelle: Then why didn't you just say that?
Julius: I just said it.
Rochelle: Why didn't you say it in the first place?

Quote from Manny
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My dad didn't go to college and neither did my mother, so I tried to find out if I knew anybody who did.
Chris: Hey, Manny, did you ever go to college?
Manny: Always wanted to, but I found out I couldn't.
Chris: Why not?
Manny: I had this thing called "extenuating circumstances."
Mr. Omar: Like what?
Manny: I never finished high school. So I got a job here and when Manny died, I took over.
Chris: Wait, you had the same name as the owner?
Manny: No, no, no, my name was Lester. But I had to make a choice: change the sign or change my name. And that sign was expensive.
Quote from Chris

Quote from Greg
Adult Chris: [v.o.] While my mother was throwing clothes in the box, Greg was thinking outside the box.
Mr. Abbott: You did unbelievable on this test. There's a lot of things you could do when you get out of college.
Greg: At first, I was thinking I could start up an investment banking firm, or maybe franchise a coffee store.
Mr. Abbott: "Franchise a coffee store"? That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard in my life. A store that sells nothing but coffee? Well, what you going to open up next? A place that sells nothing but staples? Oh, what's after that? A place that sells everything for 99 cents? [sniffs] You smell anything?
Greg: Well, see that's what I was going to tell you. I settled on being an astronaut. I'm... I'm wearing a diaper.
Mr. Abbott: A diaper?! You mean, you want to fly a rocket, but you're still gonna pee in your pants?
Greg: Well, they don't make you do it but I wanted to see if I could take it.
Mr. Abbott: Nobody could take it, Greg. Now, get the funk out of my office. [sniffing] Gah!
