Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: Being 12 in the '60s was the equivalent to being in your 20s today. We didn't have helicopter parents coddling us at all times like fragile teacups. That scar? [chuckles] Got it playing "Follow the Leader" through an abandoned construction site at recess. [gargling] That mouthwash? Uncut, would make you fail a Breathalyzer test.
Bill: [enters] Dean, I need you to ride your bike down to the store and pick me up a pack of smokes.
Adult Dean: I feel like I don't have to explain that one. Okay, so, my mom still laid out my outfits for me, but those polyester clothes, made from 100% petroleum? [scoffs] Kids used to burst into flames all the time.
Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: Going to church was also a part of growing up that's different now. The Black church is one of the most important institutions in American history. It's been a home that kept Black people unified during hard times, a social and political center that sparked historic movements, and a training ground for a generation of leaders and entertainers. So much of what makes Black culture unique comes from its roots in the Black church. And I grew up in a time when it was just a given that you went to church every Sunday. All three boring hours of it.
Quote from Kim
Lillian: Kim went to her lock-in and she really enjoyed herself. Tell your brother if he doesn't go, he's gonna be missing out.
Kim: You know, I actually had a great time at my lock-in. I got my first kiss that night.
Bill: Excuse me?
Kim: Mm-hmm. Craig Westfield. Mm, I had the biggest crush on Craig, and...
Bill: Kimberly Lanette Williams.
Adult Dean: I think our parents only gave us middle names so we'd know when we're in trouble.
Kim: What? It's boys and girls overnight without parents for the first time. And the Pastor always falls asleep after lights out. What do you expect to happen?
Bill: Who is this Craig boy?
Kim: Dad, it was like five years ago.
Bill: You said his last name is Westfield? Where is this phone book?
Kim: Hey, don't pin this all on me. Craig and I were not the only ones kissing that night.
Bill: Who else am I gonna pin it on?
