Chris Quote #514
Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates My Man
Thurman: You, you're suspended from tomorrow's game.
Walter Dickerson: Coach, I'm not suiting up?
Thurman: Oh, sure, you can suit up. But do it at home. And after you suit up, I want you to write me an essay on the events leading up to World War II. And you.
Chris: I know, detention.
Thurman: Oh, no. Detention is way too easy. You turned your back on easy when you did his paper, Cool Breeze. So, Lincoln goes through all this trouble to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, frees your people from slavery, and what do you do? you run around doing other people's work for them. You're killing me. Et tu Kunta Kinte?
Chris: I'm sorry.
Thurman: No. I'm sorry. But I'm going to help you out. Maybe Lincoln couldn't get to you, but I can.
Chris: What are you going to do?
Thurman: [chuckles] Wouldn't you like to know?

Quote from Julius
Drew: I don't know how you can stand being around all those dead people.
Julius: I love it. It makes you realize that life is short. Anything can happen at any time. A toilet could fall out of the sky and crush you. A bus door could clamp on your neck and choke you. A poisonous lizard could escape from the zoo and bite you. You could fall off a bridge and drown. [3 hours later] And you could trip and fall in front of a power mower and be decapitated. [1:00 a.m.] [on the phone] You could be smoking a cigarette and blow up while siphoning 65 cents worth of glass. And you could eat some bad coleslaw and get diarrhea and die of dehydration. [the next morning] You could step in a puddle and be electrocuted by a downed wire. You could blow your nose and startle a cat with rabies...
Rochelle: Okay, okay, we get it! We can die at any time, and you're happy!
Julius: That's right.
Quote from Mr. Omar
Julius: Well, what's the job?
Mr. Omar: Well, my assistant died today.
Julius: Oh, no. What happened?
Mr. Omar: Well, he went to a dollar theater to watch the movie Airplane, when ironically, a chemical toilet fell out of an airplane, crashed through the roof and crushed him. Tragic. Tragic!
Quote from Julius
Rochelle: What's going on with you?
Julius: What are you talking about?
Rochelle: You're singing and dancing and willing to pay for finger waves and earrings?
Tonya: Are you leaving us for a White woman?
Julius: No. It's just being at this new job, I'm with dead people everywhere I go. It just makes me feel like I need to appreciate life a little more. Oh, this is good! What is this, baby?
Rochelle: Vegetables.
Julius: You kids try this? Chris, pass me the big piece of carrot.
