Granddaddy Clisby Quote #46
Quote from Granddaddy Clisby in Love, Dean
Bray: So she bought a car with your money? Seems like that should be illegal.
Bill: Our money.
Granddaddy Clisby: What was that? Please, please, s-s- say it again a little louder.
Bill: Our money!
Granddaddy Clisby: Ah, now, s-see, that's the mistake, right there. Next thing you know, the man will be staying at home with the kids, and the wife will be working.
Bray: [chuckles] Maybe we should just surrender to the commies if that happens.
Granddaddy Clisby: Better learn how to say "collard greens" and "sweet potatoes" in Russian. [laughter]
Bill: There sure is a lot of talk about "man's work" from cats who got three hours to sit in a barbershop in the middle of the day. [Dean chuckles]
Granddaddy Clisby: And he lets her write checks.
Bray: What?! No!

‘Love, Dean’ Quotes
Quote from Lillian
Adult Dean: Mama was overwhelmed by what Daddy had done. He bucked society's norms for the woman he loved. Then she turned on a dime.
Lillian: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Where's Dean gonna live? What's he gonna do while you're working? What's he gonna eat?
Bill: I think they have food in New York, Lillian.
Lillian: Dean Williams, you listen to me. Don't you go anywhere without your father. There's a lot of traffic in New York City, so make sure you look both ways before you cross the street. [sighs] You know what? Just don't even cross the street. Just stay on whatever street you're on and make all lefts. Oh, my baby. [hugs Dean]
Quote from Bill
Adult Dean: We just spent 20 minutes in the car together, and he couldn't give me a heads up?
Lillian: Bill, are you sure about this?
Bill: Absolutely. I don't want to be the kind of husband that doesn't support his wife's dreams. So I thought about what my father would do... and decided to do the opposite.
Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: Of course, to get to summer, you had to get through the last week of school. But everyone knew that was just a formality. There were no tests, no homework, no attempts at discipline. [Michael yawns] Even the bullies were phoning it in. The high point of the last week was getting and signing our yearbooks.
Norman: Guys, there's one of all of us.
Adult Dean: We were the first Black kids in the school. Clearly the photographer hadn't figured out how to light Black skin yet. And guess what... he never did.
