Mr. Omar Quote #34
Quote from Mr. Omar in Everybody Hates Bed-Stuy
Mr. Omar: I'm trying to prevent the election of this evil individual.
Rochelle: Lamar Johnson is not evil.
Mr. Omar: You know that since this man has come into office, my business has dropped 35%?
Rochelle: That's because the murder rate has dropped 35%.
Mr. Omar: The whole reason I moved to Bed-Stuy was because business was booming. I couldn't keep a casket in stock. They were literally flying into the ground.
Rochelle: You are sick. That's why I'm going to do everything in my power to get him re-elected.
Mr. Omar: I'm going to do everything in my power to get him defeated.
Rochelle: What?! Wait a minute now. If you're not voting for Johnson, who are you voting for? [Mr. Omar takes out a campaign pamphlet] Himelfarb? Abe Himelfarb, who owns the pawn shop?
Mr. Omar: With Himelfarb in office, everything will fall naturally into place.
Rochelle: [over bullhorn] Over my dead body!
Mr. Omar: That would be tragic, but if it were to happen, you can rest assured I'll give Mr. Julius a nice discount.

Quote from Ms. Morello
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Lisa hated my story, so I showed it to Ms. Morello, who loved anything Black.
Ms. Morello: Lisa's right, this isn't good.
Chris: What's wrong with it?
Ms. Morello: Chris, there's nothing worse than racial stereotypes. We've seen this a thousand times. The tall, shirtless Black man, his ebony pecs glistening with sweat from working in the fields. His furrowed brow filled with savage lust. Where was I?
Chris: I think you were talking about racial stereotypes.
Ms. Morello: Oh, right. I want to read about the real Black men who walk the gritty streets of the hood. People like Super Fly, the Mack, Black Belt Jones, Truck Turner and Blacula. Tell me the truth about the pimps and the hustlers, the violence... all set to a jazzy beat!
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Oh, there's a jazzy beat I want to give her, right upside the head.

Don't you know there's a killer on the streets?

Jerome: Let me hold a dollar. [takes a dollar] Be safe out here.
