Carlton Quote #490

Quote from Carlton in Bourgie Sings the Blues

Carlton: But I guess the signs were always there. Oh, sure these chiseled good looks and striking personality opened the doors of opportunity quickly but lately, they've been closing even quicker. Oh, heck, who am I kidding? Look at me, I'm not Princeton material. Like the song says, Pappy "You gotta know when to fold them." It's my time to fold.
Pappy: Sounds like, to me, you're giving up.
Carlton: You're a smart man, Pappy.
Pappy: Listen, Carlton, it's one thing to throw in the hand but it's another thing to get up from the table and quit the game.

Quote from Will

Carlton: Will, I'm not in the mood for this.
Will: Oh. You not in the mood for this, huh? Well, look here, too short, if you wanna sit around and wallow in the stench of your own self-pity then you go right ahead.
Carlton: Will, you don't understand.
Will: Oh, no, I understand, you big baby. "My sweater shrunk. My grades are low. My head is too small for my body."
Carlton: It is?
Will: Oh, shut up, Carlton. Now, I'm gonna tell you something. I am not gonna sit around here with your stank-robe-wearing, slipper-shuffling, resume-polishing, little-kids-don't-like-me blues. Now, I'm about to go out and I'm gonna get me a 16-piece nugget dinner. And when I get back, I wanna see a new attitude, mister. And for God's sakes, clean yourself up.
