Kim Quote #26
Quote from Kim in The Valentine's Day Dance
Kim: Let's go. I am so incredibly sorry for what they put you through today. I assure you, they'll get a thorough talking-to when we go home. Come on, let's go.
Clerk: Whoa. I c- I can't let two kids go with another kid. They can either wait for their parents or the police.
Kim: Sir, I really appreciate your concern, but our parents will be working late. I can save you the trouble.
Clerk: They'll just have to wait, then.
Adult Dean: As Kim fought to get us out, it became clear to me that, in a way, she felt responsible for what had happened. When this started, it was just a line on a college résumé. But now she realized she was in over her head, and it was her job to make this right.
Kim: [sobbing] This is all my fault. I was responsible for them today, and I wasn't paying enough attention. And now look at them. They're felons. [sobbing] Our parents work so hard to keep us out of trouble, and they were relying on me to be a good big sister. But instead, I disappointed everyone. [sobbing]
Adult Dean: Now I had seen enough of Kim's fake tears to know what she was doing, but everyone else seemed to be buying it, so I was fine just shutting up and nodding along.
Kim: I'll be happy to pay for what they took. [sniffles]
Clerk: Fine. But y'all are never allowed back in this store again. You hear me?
Kim: Thank you for understanding, sir.

Quote from Kim
Adult Dean: Every generation of every family wants its children to have a better life. For many black families in the '60s, a better life simply meant being able to walk a dog instead of being chased by them. For my family, a better life meant a better education.
Lillian: I talked to your guidance counselor. He said that volunteering for the Big Sister, Little Sister program could help your college application stand out.
Kim: I've spent years as Dean's big sister. Shouldn't that count towards community service?
Bill: Spent the first two years trying to send him back. Kept wasting good stamps.
Kim: Well, I went to all his stupid baseball games.
Dean: You went to one game, and the one game that you actually went to, you thought I was another kid.
Kim: You all wear the same color shirts.
Quote from Hampton
Hampton: Ah, isn't it magical? All of our hard work has finally paid off, and you've got the best job in the house. You get to see everyone's faces as they first lay eyes on our underwater fantasy. "Fanta-sea." That would have been a good one.
Quote from Bill
Bill: My man. First dance tonight. You know what? Your curfew's extended until 10:00.
Dean: Cool.
Bill: You meeting Keisa there, or are you guys picking her up?
Dean: Actually, I'm not going with Keisa. I never asked her, and now she's going with an eighth grader.
Bill: Then who are you going with?
Dean: I'm on the planning committee.
Bill: [sighs] Be home by 8:00.
