Dean Quote #136
Quote from Dean in Love, Dean
Dean: I'm a genius.
Cory: You haven't said that in three days. I was starting to worry.
Dean: I got Broderick's yearbook first, so now I'm just gonna sign "Love, Dean" in it. Then it'll feel the same as how I wrote in Keisa's. Problem solved.
Cory: You know what? In that ridiculous little third-wheel relationship you got going on, that actually makes sense.
Adult Dean: Not only was I solving my problem, I also found myself putting in words how much my friendship with Broderick actually meant to me. I mean, it wasn't at "Me and Cory" level, but he'd definitely jumped to the top of my "If Anything Happens to Cory" list.
Dean: "Love, Dean." My best work yet.

‘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.
