Chris: If you wake up dad he's gonna punch me square in the face and then I'm gonna punch you in the face and he'll kill me and then he'll go to jail.
| (In flashback)
Mr. Palmer: I didn't touch her! I don't know what you're talking about!
Narrator: Mr Palmer was accused of doing something that we can't tell you about because of the network censors. The school settled the lawsuit out of court, and he's not allowed to teach anymore. If he moves to your neighborhood, you'll get a warning.
| Julius: That's 49 cents of spilt milk drippin' all over the table. Somebody gon' drink this milk.
| Joey: This isn't over, nigger.
Narrator: Oh, he got away with callin' me nigger that day, but later in life he said it at a DMX concert and almost got stomped to death.
| Julius: If you smell smoke, and you think the house is going to catch fire, get your brother and your sister and get out of here.
Julius: (Days later) If you smell gas, and you think the house is going to blow up, get your brother and your sister and get out of here.
Julius: (Weeks later) If you smell smoke, and your brother catches on fire, get your sister and get out of here.
