Good Trouble
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on FreeformGood Trouble Quotes
I thought I wanted to have this party to prove to my parents that I'm an adult, but I think what I really wanted was to share a piece of my culture with everyone. Sometimes it's hard to balance keeping Asian traditions alive and also trying to feel American. My comedy program folks and I have been through some tough times recently being forced into a stereotypical box. I realize that everyone's experience is different, no matter what you look like. Celebrating and understanding those differences go a long way. Tonight was healing for me, and I hope in some way for all of you. I've never been prouder to be Chinese, and I'm just so proud to be able to call all of you family.
Alice
Alice: The point is I want to make you proud and I don't know how.
Mr. Kwan: You make us proud just by being you.
Mrs. Kwan: I tell my friends at Mahjong all about my son the baker and my daughter the building manager.
David: Is everything OK between you and folks?
Alice: Yeah, don't worry, I didn't take your job as Golden Boy.
David: You think I like being the Golden Boy? I've had nothing but expectations placed on me since I was born. I mean you get to be everything you want to be because I'm the one who has to fulfill all of their dreams. Can you imagine if I wanted to be a stand up comedian?
Alice: No, because you're not funny.
David: You know all they ever talk about with me is you.
Tonya: Dyonte was telling me that you asked to slow things down with him, and I don't want to pry into your business, but I was wondering if that had anything to do with me?
Malika: No, not you specifically. I think this whole thing is new to me and I was a bit
Tonya: Overwhelmed? I get it. I've been poly for a while now, and still, at times it has its challenges.
Malika: Maybe you should consider polyamory.
Davia: Wait, so I date them both and they just date whoever they want?
Matt: I'm kind of risk-averse, which probably makes me a little boring.
Dennis: NO, not necessarily, impulsive people can be pretty boring too.
Matt: I don't know. Some people need a little element of surprise. Keeps things interesting.
I understand that Isabella is pregnant, but I'm pretty sure she can keep track of her own hydration.
Callie
Alice: I'm gay.
David: Awesome. Maybe we can grab a bite next week?
Gael: What about deep-sea whales and stingrays?
Isabella: OK, sounds like someone wants a boy.
Gael: No, not at all. I'm just thinking of something that's not gendered. My sister Jazmin is trans, and she kinda had a tough time growing up.
Isabella: I never thought about that.
Gael: Yeah, no one does. We're socialized to think pink for girls and blue for boys, but what if we let our kid pick? You know? When they're old enough we let them decide if they want mermaids or monster trucks or both.
Isabella: I think that sounds perfect.
Dennis: I just wish I knew what I loved to do anymore.
Davia: Well, you love cooking.
Dennis: I love you.
Tony: Oh, I'd watch my back if I were you.
Callie: Oh, is someone out to get me?
Tony: Prosecution. Second chair. Nicolette.
Callie: Over the case?
Tony: don't be naive, if I'm reading things right and I usually do, she's into Jamie.
Callie: Well she has nothing to worry about. I'm seeing someone, and it's serious.
Tony: That was fast. Does he know that you're still in love with your ex?
Yuri: Ay, he's back. You forget something? Your humility maybe?
Gael: So, I'll take you up on that check and the arrangement you suggested... if it's still on the table.
Yuri: What changed your mind?
Gael: I'm going to be a father.
