Tuesdays 8:00 PM on OWNQueen Sugar Season 2 Episode 13: "Heritage" Quotes
Nova: I was the one that wasn't clear. I started losing myself, doing things, saying things, wearing things that weren't me. It was the me he wanted me to be.
Sierra: You woke up before most people do, before you were consumed, and for that, give yourself some credit. Okay?
Quincy: I'm sure that Darla could learn a lot from both of you.
Ralph Angel: Darla can teach a lot too. She damn near rebuilt her life from the ground up.
Darla is a good mother now. She loves him to the moon. He loves her to the stars. Of course there are things that happened that we both won't forget, but all I can tell you is that he's a happy child and he grew up with a lot of love.
Violet
Calvin: I thought I was okay. I was moving on, then I saw you. Hard feelings to shake.
Nova: For what it's worth, I know I haven't moved on. I tried in a lot of ways I shouldn't have, and I'm just realizing I've been at war with myself.
Calvin: Me too. Why are we fighting this, ourselves, or each other? What do we have to do to find the peace together? Whatever it is, say it and I’ll do it. Whatever you say, I’ll do.
I believe in forever, and I want you in mine.
Remy
Remy: Would you marry again?
Charley: I'm barely out of my last marriage; I think it's a little premature to be thinking about another. It's just not on my mind.
Calvin: I've felt like a fraud my whole life. I didn't care much about sports, but I played because my daddy wanted me to. I didn't want to join the force, but I did because my family expected me to. I didn't want to get married, but I did because everyone thought I should. I didn't want kids, but she did so we had kids. I did my whole life what everybody else wanted me to do, until you. Being with you was the first time I was able to be me. You were my choice. You were so free, you were so brave, and just being around you made me want to be brave too. I love you. I love you so much, more than anything or anyone.
Nova: I love you too. Hear me. Know for you I’m freedom. For me, you’re prison.
Nova: I can't be all of myself when I'm with you. I can't. I can't fight for my people every day and come home and have to explain it. I can't cry over brothers slayed by cops in the streets and no one ever pays, and then come home to a cop. Come on. This is crazy. I was going crazy. I can't want to share everything with you knowing there are parts of me you don't want to know. Part of me that loves my people more than anything that will make me set that aside.
Calvin: I never asked you to set it aside.
Nova: You never asked about it at all. And just because you wish something was meant to be doesn't mean it is.
Darla: Respectfully Mom, I have written to you for years. I have called, no response. I have been very clear with where I stood.
Darlene: No, Darla. If you had clarity you would know that just because you say the words doesn't make it true. You've said, "I'm clean," or "please help me," or "I love you," before but then you haven't been clean, or you haven't accepted our help, or you haven't respected our love. So don't act as if we've done you wrong, please.
