Bill Quote #95
Quote from Bill in Love, Dean
Adult Dean: The start of summer in the South is always a time of new beginnings. For some, that means less clothes. For others, that means more work. But this summer, it means less Mama for everybody. She had just gotten a big promotion that meant she'd be away for a few weeks over the summer. She was actually excited she was going to be working more.
Lillian: Well, did you want me to put them in order chronologically or based on food type?
Bill: I want to be able to eat without having to brush up on algebra.
Lillian: This way, you'll have everything you need while I'm gone. I mean, Bruce can take care of himself, and only thing Kim needs is a purse and a phone, but Dean...
Bill: When I was his age, my parents forgot they had me for two months, and I was fine.
Dean: The toaster's stuck. Should I use a knife?
Bill: No. [sighs] Okay, I will look after him.

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.
