"The Cleveland Show" A Cleveland Brown Christmas (TV Episode 2009) - Sanaa Lathan as Donna Tubbs

Cleveland Brown : [to Donna] How can you let Rallo believe that Robert is an FBI agent? Maybe if it stood for Freeloading Boozing Idiot?

[chuckles]

Cleveland Brown : Hey, that was right off the top of my head. Suck on that, Wayne Brady.

Donna Tubbs : Look, Rallo kept asking him why he never came to visit. Next thing I know, Robert's telling him he's an undercover agent, so I went with it.

Cleveland Brown : You lied to your child?

Donna Tubbs : It's like my great-grandmother used to say. A lie is just an upside-down truth.

Cleveland Brown : What?

[to himself]

Cleveland Brown : Hmm. Can I trust Donna?
Donna Tubbs : [to Cleveland after Rallo's Christmas recital] This is all your fault. You had to go get drunk and tell him the truth about his dad.

Cleveland Brown : Yeah? Well, you been lying to him for years.

Donna Tubbs : And it was working.

Roberta Tubbs : At least we don't have to lie to him anymore because I'm done making phone calls...

[in Robert's voice]

Roberta Tubbs : talking like this. Happy birthday, Rallo. How's your mama's ass look?
Donna Tubbs : [to Cleveland when Robert comes to visit for Christmas] Wow, you actually got through to him.

Cleveland Brown : Of course, I did. It's my damn show.
