Violet: I have had it up to here with your disrespect.
Billie: Why can’t you respect my relationship with my father, Violet?
Violet: That’s rich. You didn’t respect my marriage.
Hollywood: Vi, now you know there ain’t nothing going on with me and Billie.
Violet: It’s not you.
Billie: For over 20 years, I have let you paint yourself as the only victim here, Violet, but Jimmy Dale hurt me too. A grown-ass man tried to force himself on me, and when I fought back, his ego was so wounded that he spread vicious rumors about me. I was a child. I didn’t deserve that. What I deserved was for the adults in my life to believe me and to protect me and not hurt me more by perpetuating his lies. I understand that you thought that you were being cheated on, Violet, but did you ever stop to think and ask me if what you heard was true?
