Julius Quote #326
Quote from Julius in Everybody Hates the Ninth-Grade Dance
Chris: But I thought you didn't want me to go.
Julius: Well, those were for my reasons. You need your own. And right now, you don't have one.
Chris: Well, I kind of wanted to go with a date.
Julius: You can go on a date anytime.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Where's a laugh track when you need it?
Julius: But this is your ninth grade dance. It's still the dance, whether you have a date or not. You went to see Rocky III by yourself. It was still Rocky III.
Chris: Dad? Thanks.
Julius: For what?
Chris: For not going on for two hours about how things are still the same even if you do it by yourself.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] He came back two hours later and did it anyway.
