Sherri: Do you want to let him down easy?
Lola: It doesn’t need to be easy. I just need him out of my life.
Sherri: Brutal. I like it.

It’s a system rooted in racism. We’re no longer letting criminals free because they’re rich enough to pay bail, and we’re not going to punish poor people who haven’t been convicted of a crime because they can’t afford bail.

DA Bravo

Mark: Where is this decision coming from:
DA Bravo: I gave you the opportunity to fill this role or find a qualified candidate who could. You didn’t, so I chose for you.

Sara: Every time we go out, I expect Bravo to leap out of the bushes and fire me.
Emily: Ever since I told Luke I don’t want kids, it feels like he’s leaping into the bushes to hide from me.

Luke: I told you not to get off at the 10.
Mark: It’s better than being stuck in traffic.

He did push a child. I don’t know how you’re going to win this one, Em.

Sara

I’m tired of talking about it. Frankly, all black people are tired of talking about it because no matter what is said or done, very little changes.

Lola

Mr. Evans, I’m addressing you, not as a judge, but as a fellow parent. I understand the need to do something and change the system when we see a wrong, but what you did taking matters into your hands has repercussions.

Lola

Hey, I love the place we’re in, the place we worked really hard to get back to. Think I’m going to give all that up? The bureau will just have to transfer me to LA, or my G-man days are over.

Robin

Mark: People make it work. We can, too.
Luke: I’m going to hold you to that.

Life is full of fear and hope, and I choose to hold onto the hope.

Lola

Lola: Why do you think we’re even debating whether to teach Black history, which is American history in our schools? A lot of white people would rather not confront the truth. They would rather ignore it.
Lisa: White people don’t deal well with guilt.

Mark: I told you to be sphinx-like.
Lola: I can't talk about my case.
Mark: It's okay. Lots of other people are.

Lola: She wasn't dealing with LAPD and... I can't talk about it. It's just that... up on that bench, in this thing, everything is different. And that detective, I need to make a difference, but I can't tell if this is the battle, or this is the war.
Mark: What can I do?
Lola: Visit me at traffic court in Palmdale.
Mark: Never gonna happen.
