[last lines of episode]
[narrating] My dad always checked on us in between jobs: His night job, and his late-at-night job.
Dad?
Hey, man. I thought you were asleep.
I'm sorry I ate the big piece of chicken.
That was 89¢ worth of chicken. What, you didn't get enough to eat at school?
I was still hungry.
Now I'm still hungry. [sits on Chris' bed] Look. Next time, eat a little something extra at breakfast, okay?
Okay.
[pulls out cash] Here. [pulls cash from Chris before his can get it] Now, don't go pullin' this money out. Somebody'll try to rob you. [gives cash to Chris] Don't tell you mother about this. Everything okay at school?
[narrating] I didn't tell him about the fight. My dad went to school during the Civil Rights Era. After hoses, tanks, and a dog bites on your ass, somehow, Joey Caruso didn't compare.
Yep, it was alright.
Okay. I'll see you in the morning.
[narrating] My father wasn't the type to say "I love you." I was one of four fathers on the block. "I'll see you in the morning." meant he was coming home. Coming home was his way of saying "I love you."
Unplug that clock, boy. You can't tell time when you sleep. That's two cents an hour.
[Chris begrudgingly decides to unplug his clock.]
[offscreen; angrily] What the Hell happened to my towel?! [Chris' eyes widen in shock, as if thinking "I'm busted!", as the screen freeze-frames and fades to black, ending the episode as "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang plays in the background]
