Cory:
Hey pa! Troy: Hmm? Cory: Can I ask you a question? [pause] Cory: How come you ain't never liked me? Troy: Like you? What law is there sayin' I got to like you? Cory: None. Troy: All right then. Don't you eat every day? Answer me when I talk to you! Don't you eat every day? Cory: Yeah... Troy: As long as you're in my house you put a "Sir" on the end of it when you talk to me. Cory: Yes, Sir.

It's my duty to take care of you, I owe a responsibility to you, I ain't got to like you! Now, I gave everything I got to give you! I gave you your life!

You best be makin' sure that they're doin' right by you! You understand what I'm sayin'? See more » |
