Vic: What is all this?
Lenya: Your accomplishments, your professional accomplishments. Your other stuff is over there.
Vic: It’s like my whole life’s in here. I’ve never even seem some of these.
Lenya: How would you have? You’ve hardly even here anymore. When you are, you just grab your perogies and go. And since your dad and I spend all this time without you, we brought as much as of you as we could here. I watched an interview with Breonna Taylor’s mother. Couldn’t sleep for a week. I know I could never truly understand what it’s like for you to navigate this world as a Black woman, and I would never even pretend I could and I have experienced nothing remotely similar to this, but what I do understand is being the mother of a Black daughter. You don’t think I don’t know you could have been Breonna Taylor? I’m your mother. This is what I’ve always known. I’ve known since you were 5 and a cashier accused you of stealing the candy, the one I just bought you. I’ve known since you were 11 and came home crying because the girls at school wouldn’t stop touching your hair. I’ve since before you were even born when my parents kicked me out of the family for marrying a Black man and refused to meet my perfect little girl.

Station 19 Season 4 Episode 15 Quotes

Travis: What’s up?
Vic: Nothing. I’ve spent all weekend thinking about what’s up. I just want two seconds to not think about that. I just want to think about shellfish.
Travis: This is our thing, right? This is what we do. We take turns forcing the other person to talk, so rip the scab. Just do it.
Vic: Remember when we used to go out at night back when the world was open? And before you’d head out, you’d say to your friends, text me when you get home, just so you’d know all your people were good. You’d know they’d made it home safe and sound, right? That’s like sacred friend stuff, like humans evolving beyond beast stuff. That is consideration and buddy love you even when you’re too drunk to walk straight.
Travis: Oh my god, remember how hammered you were at Miller’s birthday last year?
Vic: But she was home, Travis. Breonna Taylor was home. She could have texted her best friend, ‘home, xo,’ and that friend would have gone to bed thinking, ‘Great, everyone’s home safe and sound,’ and then she was killed in the middle of the night in her home in her pajamas.
Travis: Vic, I’m sorry.
Vic: I just don’t want to think about any of it, you know. Just one day, Travis. Tomorrow I will pick it all back up again, I promise, but today I just want to put my feelings in the freezer ‘cause I’m spent and I just need one day. I will fight all future battles and I will care as much as I do now, but I’m exhausted. And I just need a day.

Andy: How are you holding up?
Maya: If by holding up, you mean stuffing my face with cookies every chance I get to avoid thinking about the fact that Carina’s heading into the belly of the COVID beast and that the immigration system is as broken as the justice system, then I am holding up incredibly well.
Andy: Which kind of cookies?
Maya: Get out of here.
