Julius: "Chris, being brothers ain't easy, alright? I have six brothers, and whether you like it or not, somebody's gonna be better than you at something. But you can't be jealous! He's the only brother you got! Besides, I don't know if you realize, but he looks up to you."
- Trauma Button: Grabbing Mr. Jackson’s shoulder sets him off and makes him break the unfortunate person’s hand. When some guy walked up to him and his girlfriend when they were on a date, he also put his hand on his shoulder while he won her over.
