Good Trouble
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on FreeformGood Trouble Quotes
Wilson: When are you going to stop making excuses for why you keep getting derailed?
Callie: I'm not making excuses.
Wilson: You're not? You remind me of a dandelion seed just floating in the air in whatever direction the wind is blowing.
Callie: I'm adapting to the situations I find myself in, I've always had to do that.
Wilson: Just because things happen in your young life that you have no control over it does not mean you have to be stuck in reaction mode as an adult.
Callie: I'm not. I take action.
Wilson: Let's talk about your actions. You love Jamie and yet you thought the only way of taking action was to betray him.
Callie: Our values-
Wilson: Bullshit. You're not the only one with convictions. Your truth is not the only truth, but with you it's see it my way or hit the highway.
Callie: I don't agree.
Wilson: I don't think we'd be having this conversation if you wanted someone to agree with you. You're stuck in a loop, Callie. Playing out the same scenes day after day year after year. Time for you to leave the safe cocoon and bet on yourself. It's time for you to believe that you can be more than the Callie Adams Foster that we know and love.
Callie: What if I can't? What if the best I'll ever be? As good as it gets.
Wilson: I don't believe anything is as good as it gets. You have the power to make every day better, to let go of everything and everyone who's holding you down. You deserve the moon and the stars. You just have to have the courage to reach for them. Is that why you're leaving?
Callie: I'm leaving?
Wilson: What's keeping you here?
Gael: I'm going to be a father, and I don't know how to do that part-time. And I also want to be the partner you deserve, but I know I'm not capable of doing both.
Callie: Yeah, I know too, and when you shine your light on someone it's the most wonderful feeling in the world because you give everything you have, and now that needs to be on Isabella and the baby.
Gael: This is so hard.
Callie: Yeah, I know. We both know it's right.
Alice: I messed up. I felt awful that you lost your job and I didn't want to reject you, but in the light of day, I don't think my heart is in this anymore. I'm sorry.
Ruby: It's okay. I'm just kicking myself for being too afraid when my heart was in it.
Alice: I hope we can still be friends.
Ruby: Of course, what kind of lesbians would we be if we didn't stay friends after breaking up?
Malika: So that hike we took the other day, was that a date?
Angelica: Did you want it to be a date?
Gael: I'm not sure how I feel about not being part of the pregnancy.
Callie: Right. It's not like you're together. I get wanting to co-parent the baby but co-pregnancy?
Gael: Well, she still needs support, and there's doctor's appointments and parenting classes.
Callie: What you're going to do six months of parenting classes? It sounds like she has a friend who wants to offer her support it doesn't have to all be on you unless that's how you want it.
Gael: It doesn't sound like that's how you want it.
Callie: I don't have a say in how I want it.
Gael: But clearly it affects you. I guess I was wondering when your real feelings were going to come out. Callie: Well my real feelings is that this is none of my business, and I had a really stressful day, and I would really love for us to have five minutes where we're not talking about Isabella, or the baby, or your mother.
Nice try. Asian Guilt doesn't work in this country.
Margaret Cho
This is about trust. And I don't trust you. And I'm not sure I ever will again.
Claire
Gina: I wanted to apologize for the way Claire's been acting.
Mariana: Look, I don't expect to be forgiven overnight or to be partner again, although that would be great. What I really want is to make amends. I miss you guys. You're my friends.
Gina: I think it's harder for Claire because of the whole Raj thing.
Mariana: But Raj set this whole thing up. He wanted me to work here.
Gina: I know, but I'm pretty sure that Claire thinks you cheated on Raj with Evan and forgiving you would somehow mean betraying Raj.
Callie: I heard you're calling Tommy's girlfriend to the stand. Give me a preview of what to expect?
Jamie: Well, I wouldn't want to give away any spoilers.
Callie: I hope you're not pulling any more dirty tricks. Tommy deserves a fair trial.
Jamie: I agree.
Callie: I'm not sure your boss does.
Jamie: I agree with that as well. Honestly, I haven't loved everything that's went down in this trial. I'm not sure criminal law is for me.
Davia: Solomon is gunning for me, which is fine. It's worth it. Better I take the heat than the kids.
Gael: Have you talked to Matt about this?
Davia: I can't go running to Matt with every little problem I have.
Gael: Why not?
Davia: Because I feel like the closer I get to Matt the further I get from Dennis.
Our job is to make sure that no one goes to prison without due process. I admire that you want to believe in the people that you care about, but everybody is going to disappoint you at some point. Good people do bad things sometimes. It doesn't make them irredeemable.
Kathleen
Davia: The real reason I bailed on lunch is because I have an eating disorder, and I thought I was past all of this, but I recently lost some weight and um, I've been getting some positive comments on my body again, the kind that I used to get when I was underweight and it triggered some old behaviors like idsolating myself and lying about eating. I even scrolled through some photos from when I was sick and for a minute I really missed that body. And I started to think that it wasn't as bad as everyone thogutt, and I could be sick and still be happy. Then I remembered how lonely and painful it felt. I don't want that life again.
Matt: I -
Davia: You don't have to do or say anything, I wanted to tell you to hold myself accountable. Because I trust you.
