Special Ops: Lioness
Sundays on Paramount+Aaliyah Amrohi Quotes
Aaliyah: Eshan knows about us. He doesn’t know, but…he knows. I bet that’s the last of New York I’ll see for a while. And in two days all I will know of love is what I can imagine, and what I can remember. That’s not fair to you to say, but it’s true. And maybe you’ll remember me someday.
Cruz: You’re gonna be pretty hard to forget.
Aaliyah: Are you my friend?
Cruz: Don’t ask me that.
Aaliyah: Are you?
Cruz: I don’t know what the fuck I am.
Aaliyah: But you know you want this. You know that. Tell me that you don’t.
They say you only think you know love until you have a child. Now, something must happen – something biological, because I can’t stand children. They’re too noisy and dirty, and yeah, not a fan. But I hope I love my children. I hope God gives me that. Maybe it will be enough.

Cruz: Kind. Capable. Stand up for his beliefs – I don’t really care what his beliefs are, as long as he stands up for them. Stands up for me. Looks me in the eye when he speaks.
Aaliyah: What does he look like?
Cruz: I couldn’t care less.
For me to choose love would be the death of me.
Aaliyah: You can't hear the music, just the ocean. They should outlaw music on the beach. The time for music is later. I don’t want to get married, either.
Cruz: Then don’t.
Aaliyah: What I want is not factored into the equation. Could be worse, I guess. At least he’s kind. I don’t want to get old - I absolutely dread it.
Ehsan: No more Sammy for a while. He goes home to grow up, and I think we go somewhere too.
Cruz: Where?
Ehsan: Surprise.
Aaliyah: I love surprises.
