1. In my house,
everyone had a job.
Copy !req
2. It was my father's job
to pay the bills.
Copy !req
3. I'm hungry.
And I'm cold.
Copy !req
4. I'm hungry and cold.
Copy !req
5. Eat a piece of cracker.
Copy !req
6. Your father's coming.
Copy !req
7. I've got the money.
Copy !req
8. It was my mother's job to keep
the house and the kids in line.
Copy !req
9. Boy.
Copy !req
10. Quit leaving your socks
all over the place.
Copy !req
11. Boy, mop the floor.
Copy !req
12. Girl, clean up
the table.
Copy !req
13. Good job, baby.
Copy !req
14. As kids, we only had one job:
Copy !req
15. go to school
and get decent grades.
Copy !req
16. Bye, Mommy. Love you.
Copy !req
17. Have a good day.
Don't come home stupid.
Copy !req
18. We won't.
Copy !req
19. I could usually
get a good grade
Copy !req
20. just by talking
about Dr. Martin Luther King.
Copy !req
21. Free at last, free at last.
Copy !req
22. Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last.
Copy !req
23. In English class...
Copy !req
24. My book report is on
Dr. Martin Luther King.
Copy !req
25. In history...
Copy !req
26. My history report is on
the Birmingham Bus Boycott
Copy !req
27. led by Dr. Martin Luther King.
Copy !req
28. The only place
Martin Luther King didn't work
Copy !req
29. was in math.
Copy !req
30. Chris, what's
the square root of 144?
Copy !req
31. 1963? The same year that
Dr. Martin Luther King
Copy !req
32. led the March on Washington?
Copy !req
33. No, it's 12.
Copy !req
34. All right, class.
Copy !req
35. Pick up your report cards
on the way out
Copy !req
36. and bring them back
signed tomorrow.
Copy !req
37. Oh, no.
What?
Copy !req
38. I got an F.
Copy !req
39. Aw, man. That's rough.
Copy !req
40. What's your mom
gonna say?
Copy !req
41. I don't know, but it ain't
gonna be "Free at last."
Copy !req
42. Look at my babies!
Drew, you got a B-plus in gym.
Copy !req
43. Good job! You can have
whatever you want for dinner.
Copy !req
44. Really? Thanks, Mom.
Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
45. Uh, can I have pork chops
and spaghetti?
Copy !req
46. You sure can.
Yes!
Copy !req
47. Well, Mom, I got
a B in science.
Copy !req
48. What do I get?
Copy !req
49. You can have whatever
dessert you want.
Copy !req
50. Uh, ice cream and cake?
Copy !req
51. Ice cream and cake it is.
Copy !req
52. Good job, baby.
Copy !req
53. Ooh, boy, don't
you see me cooking?
Copy !req
54. Sorry.
Copy !req
55. Where's your report card?
They didn't hand them out yet.
Copy !req
56. I couldn't bring myself
to tell my mother I got an F.
Copy !req
57. Next to dealing drugs,
getting bad grades
Copy !req
58. was the worst thing
you could do.
Copy !req
59. It was worse than this...
Copy !req
60. Tonya, what happened?
Copy !req
61. Mama, I had to smoke that fool.
Copy !req
62. Oh, not him. I'm talking about
this D you got in algebra.
Copy !req
63. And worse than this...
Copy !req
64. Drew!
Where is that boy?
Copy !req
65. What the hell is wrong
with you?
Copy !req
66. I'm following my dream, Mama.
Copy !req
67. I'm gonna be a country
and western singer.
Copy !req
68. I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about this F.
Copy !req
69. Now, take your Johnny Cashless
ass upstairs and study.
Copy !req
70. You think I'm
playing with you?
Copy !req
71. Where'd you get
that guitar?
Copy !req
72. You better not be selling
drugs in my house.
Copy !req
73. I didn't know what to do,
Copy !req
74. but I couldn't give her
that report card.
Copy !req
75. Let me know
when you get it.
Copy !req
76. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
77. Need any help cooking?
Copy !req
78. Sure. Thank you, baby.
Copy !req
79. I figured if I showed her
how useful I could be,
Copy !req
80. she wouldn't kill me
when she found out.
Copy !req
81. While I was trying to figure
out what to do about my F,
Copy !req
82. my father was home sick,
Copy !req
83. trying to figure out
how he got the gout.
Copy !req
84. Oh, baby...
when did you get the gout?
Copy !req
85. I don't know.
It just happened.
Copy !req
86. I know you're probably
wondering, what is the gout?
Copy !req
87. Well gout, or the gout
as some people like to call it,
Copy !req
88. is a form of arthritis,
which causes severe swelling
Copy !req
89. usually in the ankle
or the big toe.
Copy !req
90. It's caused by a poor diet,
including things like...
Copy !req
91. smothered pork chops.
Copy !req
92. Needs some salt.
Copy !req
93. Smothered chicken-fried bacon.
Copy !req
94. Needs some salt.
Copy !req
95. And smothered
chicken-fried bananas.
Copy !req
96. Not bad.
Copy !req
97. Needs salt.
Copy !req
98. Are you out
your damn mind?
Copy !req
99. All right, I'm going
to work the phones
Copy !req
100. over at the real estate
office today.
Copy !req
101. Try not to eat any junk.
Copy !req
102. I'll be home in time
to make dinner.
Copy !req
103. I can't eat that stuff all day.
Copy !req
104. You can if you want
to get rid of the gout.
Copy !req
105. Give me a kiss.
Copy !req
106. Mmm.
Copy !req
107. When are you gonna
turn in your report card?
Copy !req
108. I was thinking, it's so busy
that if I didn't say anything,
Copy !req
109. Miss Morello will just
forget about it.
Copy !req
110. It didn't take much to graduate
from my old school.
Copy !req
111. All you needed was a ride
to the graduation.
Copy !req
112. Who are you?
Copy !req
113. I was in Ms. Jenkins' class.
Copy !req
114. Oh. Here.
Copy !req
115. Thank you.
Copy !req
116. Chris,
where's your report card?
Copy !req
117. My mom's been really busy.
Copy !req
118. I promise I'll have it
by tomorrow.
Copy !req
119. Make sure you do.
Copy !req
120. Because my father was used to
working all the time,
Copy !req
121. staying home was tough.
Copy !req
122. But at least he got to watch
one of his favorite things:
Copy !req
123. Soap operas.
The Yankees were good,
Copy !req
124. but not better
than soap operas.
Copy !req
125. At Corleone,
if you needed something
Copy !req
126. like a forged report card
or a tardy slip,
Copy !req
127. there was one guy
that could get it for you,
Copy !req
128. and his name was Fischer.
Copy !req
129. Hey, Fischer.
Who's this?
Copy !req
130. Chris.
Copy !req
131. Tell him
I'm not talking to him.
Copy !req
132. He's not talking
to you. Chris.
Copy !req
133. He a friend of yours?
Yeah.
Copy !req
134. Pat him down.
Copy !req
135. He's clean.
What does he want?
Copy !req
136. I need a new—
Hey, hey.
Copy !req
137. Tell him
I'm not talking to him.
Copy !req
138. He's not talking to you.
Copy !req
139. He needs a new
report card.
Copy !req
140. He got an F, but he doesn't want
to show it to his mother.
Copy !req
141. Okay, I got it.
It's a two-part job.
Copy !req
142. He needs a report card with an A
for his mother to sign,
Copy !req
143. and a report card with an F with
his mother's signature on it.
Copy !req
144. So you'll do it?
I'm not talking to him.
Copy !req
145. He's not talking to you.
Copy !req
146. So you'll do it?
Copy !req
147. Okay, let's say
I do this for him.
Copy !req
148. What's he gonna do for me?
Copy !req
149. What do you want?
Copy !req
150. How about a book report
for English?
Copy !req
151. Hey, what the hell's
the matter with you?
Copy !req
152. Don't you see me
talking to you?
Copy !req
153. Don't you see him
talking to you?
Copy !req
154. Can it be on
Martin Luther King?
Deal.
Copy !req
155. Meet me in the science lab
storage room at 3.
Copy !req
156. Thanks.
Yeah.
Copy !req
157. Hey, look over there.
Copy !req
158. Hey, Julius.
Copy !req
159. Uh... Rochelle's not here.
Copy !req
160. No, no, no.
Copy !req
161. Rochelle told me
to check on you.
Copy !req
162. And I brought you this.
What, a salad?
Copy !req
163. Yeah, I gotta get back. The
Young and the Restlessis on.
Copy !req
164. I've never had a forged
report card before,
Copy !req
165. but Greg told me
Fischer was the best.
Copy !req
166. One time he made
such a good fake,
Copy !req
167. they arrested the guy
who made the original.
Copy !req
168. Hey, Ma,
I got my report card.
Copy !req
169. Oh. Let me see.
I was scared.
Copy !req
170. Felt like I was giving
a fake diamond to Lil' Kim.
Copy !req
171. An A in math?
Copy !req
172. Chris, this is so great.
Copy !req
173. You got an A in math?
Copy !req
174. That's right.
So what?
Copy !req
175. What's three times three?
Nine.
Copy !req
176. What's four times five?
Twenty.
Copy !req
177. What's eleven times eleven?
Shut up.
Copy !req
178. Can you sign this?
Copy !req
179. Oh, he does?
Copy !req
180. Julius!
Copy !req
181. Oh, hey, you know,
I gotta go.
Copy !req
182. All right,
I'll talk to you later.
Copy !req
183. Oh, man!
Who was that?
Copy !req
184. Oh, that was Monica.
Copy !req
185. She was
the hairdresser's friend.
Copy !req
186. She just wanted to know
what happened.
Copy !req
187. Well, you two were on the phone
an awfully long time.
Copy !req
188. Did you know that your son
got an A in math?
Copy !req
189. My man!
Copy !req
190. That must be why his teacher
called this afternoon.
Copy !req
191. Yeah, she wants you to come down
to school on Wednesday
Copy !req
192. and talk about Chris's grade.
Copy !req
193. Will Rochelle find out
about Chris' actual grade?
Copy !req
194. How long will Chris be able
to keep up this lie?
Copy !req
195. Will Julius ever
get rid of the gout?
Copy !req
196. Will Tonya ask Chris
more math questions?
Copy !req
197. Will Drew get any lines?
Copy !req
198. Find out this and more, when
Everybody Hates Chrisreturns.
Copy !req
199. Once I got my mother's
signature on my report card,
Copy !req
200. Fischer had what he needed
to complete my plan.
Copy !req
201. What? I'm a natural.
Copy !req
202. Now beat it.
Copy !req
203. Since I had the cards in place,
Copy !req
204. all I had to do
was keep my mother
Copy !req
205. and Mrs. Morello
from seeing each other
Copy !req
206. and I would be home free.
Copy !req
207. Chris, do you have
your signed report card?
Copy !req
208. Sure do.
Copy !req
209. My mother says she won't be able
to come to the school tomorrow.
Copy !req
210. My father has the gout.
Copy !req
211. Did you say "the gout"?
Copy !req
212. Yes. The gout.
Copy !req
213. I'm concerned about
your grade, Chris.
Copy !req
214. Well, my mom is too.
Copy !req
215. She told me I better get a C
on my next report card.
Copy !req
216. And then she...
Copy !req
217. Well, let's just say it's
kind of hard to sit down.
Copy !req
218. So I guess she's young
and he's restless.
Copy !req
219. Okay, wait, wait.
Copy !req
220. We're gonna come back
tomorrow for the update.
Copy !req
221. Wait, so does Victor's ex-wife
know about him and Nicky?
Copy !req
222. Ooh, you know what?
Copy !req
223. Hey, babe.
How you doing?
Copy !req
224. What's going on here?
Why didn't you tell us
Copy !req
225. Julius likes
The Young and the Restless?
Copy !req
226. I didn't know.
Copy !req
227. This is Pam. You remember Pam.
How you doing?
Copy !req
228. Good. How are you?
How long y'all been here?
Copy !req
229. Oh, about three, four hours.
We're catching up on the soaps.
Copy !req
230. This is my girl Monica.
That's Rochelle.
Copy !req
231. Nice to meet you, Monica.
Copy !req
232. Why do you look
so familiar to me?
Copy !req
233. You tried to sell me
food stamps
Copy !req
234. down by the subway that day.
I thought you said
Copy !req
235. you weren't selling
food stamps.
Copy !req
236. You were selling food stamps?
I wasn't selling no food stamps.
Copy !req
237. Julius, go get the phone.
Copy !req
238. You hear
the phone ringing.
Copy !req
239. It rang, like,
three times already.
Copy !req
240. Thank you, baby.
Copy !req
241. Girl, that gout
is making him lose his mind.
Copy !req
242. Does gout mess with
your hearing?
Copy !req
243. Hello?
Copy !req
244. Hey, Mrs. Morello.
Copy !req
245. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hold on.
Copy !req
246. Honey, it's for you.
Copy !req
247. Where'd they go?
Copy !req
248. They left, gout boy.
Copy !req
249. Hi. How are you?
Copy !req
250. What? An F?
Copy !req
251. What happened?
The teacher just told me
Copy !req
252. that Chris got an F.
Copy !req
253. But he said he got an A.
Copy !req
254. I can't believe that boy
Copy !req
255. looked me dead in the eye
and lied to me.
Copy !req
256. How you wanna handle this?
Copy !req
257. do you want to kill him,
Copy !req
258. or should I?
Copy !req
259. Hmm...
Oh, I know what to do.
Copy !req
260. Whoa, pancakes?
Pancakes?
Copy !req
261. Hey, Mom,
we're having pancakes?
Copy !req
262. No, Chris
is having pancakes.
Copy !req
263. That's my baby's reward
for getting an A.
Copy !req
264. Can I have
some pancakes?
Copy !req
265. Did you get an A?
I got a B.
Copy !req
266. That's not an A.
Can I have some pancakes?
Copy !req
267. My foot's getting better. I
might make it to work tomorrow.
Copy !req
268. Pancakes are
for people who get A's,
Copy !req
269. not for people
who get the gout.
Copy !req
270. Baby, you want
anything else?
Copy !req
271. My A student deserves
nothing but the best.
Copy !req
272. No. No. Oh, by the way,
my teacher says
Copy !req
273. she won't
be able to see you today.
Copy !req
274. That's okay, baby.
I'll talk to her next time.
Copy !req
275. You want some butter?
Copy !req
276. My foot's looking better,
don't you think?
Copy !req
277. Why are you talking
about your foot?
Copy !req
278. Your son has no conscience.
Copy !req
279. In there eating pancakes
like he actually got an A.
Copy !req
280. If you didn't want him
to have the pancakes,
Copy !req
281. what'd you give them
to him for?
Copy !req
282. For him to feel guilty
and confess.
Copy !req
283. But that's okay.
Copy !req
284. Tomorrow I got
something for him.
Copy !req
285. Baby, let's talk
about this. Come on.
Copy !req
286. Oh, so now
you want to talk to me?
Copy !req
287. Why don't you just
talk to your friends,
Copy !req
288. since you talk to them
all the time?
Copy !req
289. Rochelle,
those are your friends.
Copy !req
290. We were just talking
about the soaps.
Copy !req
291. Are you jealous?
Copy !req
292. Hell, yeah. Damn skippy.
Copy !req
293. How would you feel
if you came home
Copy !req
294. and I was sitting there
talking to
Copy !req
295. your friends
about football?
Copy !req
296. You like football?
No, I don't like football.
Copy !req
297. Julius, you always want
to talk to me
Copy !req
298. about bills or the kids.
Copy !req
299. I just think it would be nice
Copy !req
300. to talk about
something else for a change.
Copy !req
301. You want to talk
about the gout?
Copy !req
302. No! I don't want
to talk about the gout!
Copy !req
303. So it worked?
Copy !req
304. Yep. I told my mother
that Miss Morello was busy,
Copy !req
305. and I told Miss Morello
that my mother was busy.
Copy !req
306. That was that,
and I'm just glad it's over.
Copy !req
307. They say when
you're about to die
Copy !req
308. your life flashes
right before your eyes.
Copy !req
309. Well, here's
what mine looked like...
Copy !req
310. Dude, you're
definitely not in there.
Copy !req
311. Bye, Chris.
Copy !req
312. Don't tell any lies
when you get to heaven.
Copy !req
313. Hey, Chris, can I have
your comic books?
Copy !req
314. That's a $2 pair of underwear
you're messing up.
Copy !req
315. Rest in peace, Toby.
Copy !req
316. Chris.
Copy !req
317. Hi, Mom.
Copy !req
318. Oh, don't mind me.
Copy !req
319. I'm just here to watch my
brilliant, mathematician son
Copy !req
320. in action.
Copy !req
321. Miss Morello said
it would be okay.
Copy !req
322. If I could just be cool, maybe
everything will be all right.
Copy !req
323. Today we're doing fractions.
Copy !req
324. What does three-twelfths
plus three-fourths equal?
Copy !req
325. Ooh! Ooh!
Me! Pick me.
Copy !req
326. Rochelle.
Copy !req
327. Chris has an answer.
Copy !req
328. He got an A.
Copy !req
329. That's right.
Copy !req
330. He did get an A.
Copy !req
331. If I could drive,
I'd do this...
Copy !req
332. I don't know the answer.
Copy !req
333. No?
Copy !req
334. Well, how is that possible?
Copy !req
335. You're the math wiz.
Copy !req
336. The human calculator.
Copy !req
337. You got an A.
Copy !req
338. I actually got an F.
Copy !req
339. This must be how Marion Barry
felt when that tape got out.
Copy !req
340. Miss Morello,
Copy !req
341. thank you
for your time.
Copy !req
342. Come on, Chris.
Copy !req
343. See you later, Stymie.
Copy !req
344. Ma, I can explain.
Copy !req
345. Okay.
Copy !req
346. Go ahead.
Copy !req
347. For real?
Copy !req
348. Yeah. Explain this.
Copy !req
349. Okay.
Copy !req
350. I was afraid you'd get
mad at me for getting an F.
Copy !req
351. I thought I could
do better next semester,
Copy !req
352. so I changed my grade,
forged your signature
Copy !req
353. onto the report card
and gave it to Miss Morello.
Copy !req
354. I thought
you wouldn't find out.
Copy !req
355. "I thought you
wouldn't find out."
Copy !req
356. Boy, what do I look like,
Boo-Boo the Fool?
Copy !req
357. You're running around here
lying, forging my signature.
Copy !req
358. Have you lost your mind?
Copy !req
359. Look, Chris,
if you lie
Copy !req
360. you steal,
if you steal, you kill,
Copy !req
361. and I am not getting
your behind out of jail.
Copy !req
362. Chris...
Copy !req
363. if you would have put
this much effort
Copy !req
364. into passing the class
in the first place,
Copy !req
365. you wouldn't
be in this mess.
Copy !req
366. I am very upset
that you failed that class,
Copy !req
367. but I'm more upset
that you lied to me.
Copy !req
368. You are not
stupid, Chris.
Copy !req
369. Don't act like it.
Copy !req
370. I bought you in this world,
I'll take you right out.
Copy !req
371. Do you understand me?
Copy !req
372. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
373. All right.
Copy !req
374. Now bring your behind home.
Copy !req
375. My mother had a funny way
Copy !req
376. of making me feel like the
smartest idiot in the world.
Copy !req
377. Wait, that's it?
Copy !req
378. No, you better bring
that grade up,
Copy !req
379. or I'm gonna slap
