Chris Quote #438
Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates Ex-Cons
Chris: Hey, Malvo, how's it going?
Malvo: Pretty good, pretty good. I made a decision and I wanted to tell you about it first.
Chris: About high school?
Malvo: Yeah. I'm not going.
Chris: What?! What are you talking about?
Malvo: Getting into high school is harder that getting into jail. You got to obey all these rules, you got to fill out forms, you got to stand in line to get licenses for things.
Chris: What was all this about then? Why'd you put me through all this?
Malvo: Well, I thought my life would be better if I wasn't in trouble, and it is better... but I'm bored, Chris. I mean, when we were studying and working on stuff together, it was exciting. But to tell you the truth, Chris, I'm okay at being right, but I'm an expert at being wrong.
Chris: Malvo, you can't do this to me, man. I mean, what about all my hard work?
Malvo: Yeah, I appreciate that. That's why I'm not robbing you anymore.
Chris: Thanks.
Malvo: I'm robbing the store. [pulls out a gun] Now give me all the money.

Quote from Manny
Manny: Well, the man was asking for your help, and you turned him down. Sometimes people need a hand. Now, back when I had troubles, if it wasn't for Supercuts Johnson, I don't know where I'd be today.
Risky: Supercuts Johnson? Who's that?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Anywhere relation to Jehri Curl Johnson?
Manny: He was a barber when I was doing time in prison. He used to cut hair on death row.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Why would you want to get your hair cut when you're on death row?
James: You was in the joint?
Manny: Oh, yeah.
Monk: Man, what'd you do?
Manny: You know that tag on the mattress that says "Do not pull off"? I pulled that thing off. Do not pull that tag off, man. They are not playing with y'all.
Quote from Ms. Morello
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Since I didn't know how to get Malvo past the eighth grade, I decided to ask a professional.
Ms. Morello: Chris, this is wonderful. You're like a one-man Operation PUSH.
Chris: Thank you.
Ms. Morello: And Malvo, with the proper education, you can do so many things. You could be a garbage collector, garbage truck driver, garbage truck dispatcher. The list is endless.
Chris: So what do you think we should do next?
Ms. Morello: I've got an idea. Why don't you sit in - which your people have historically been good at - and audit my class?
Malvo: "Audit" means to attend classes or lectures as an auditor. Auditor means "hearer" or "listener."
Quote from Ms. Morello
Chris: So, how would that help him?
Ms. Morello: Well, if he's preparing for an equivalency test, he needs classroom experience. It'll help him get acclimated.
Malvo: Acclimated: "to accustom or to become accustomed to a new climate or an environment."
Ms. Morello: [laughs]
Chris: Thank you, Miss Morello.
Malvo: Yes, thank you.
Ms. Morello: Chris, I think this is a great way for you to get your father off the streets.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] And in her bed.
