Ruby [to William]: I enjoyed the entire day using the only currency I needed: whiteness.

Tic: Thank you for stopping me.
Leti: If I wasn't there, would you have killed him?
Tic: I've imagined it enough, when I was younger. Mostly after he beat me.

Let's get you somewhere safe, ma'am.

White cop [to Ruby]

Wake up, Ruby! Wake up!

Ruby

Diana: Momma? Where we going?
Hippolyta: To get answers.

Tic: It's getting too dangerous. Y'all get in, take the elevator up.
Leti: It didn't just get dangerous. He was kidnapped. I died. Can you stop acting like this is only happening to you? You're not the center of the fucking universe.

For us, it's a rat race to the finish line and it's winner takes it all. And I damn for sure know that if I was in your skin, I wouldn't even have to run.

Ruby [to William]

Tic: The Freemans were never slaves.
Montrose: She out there, ain't she?

Tree: Hey, you know why they call me "Tree," right? Most men got two legs but I got tree.
Leti: Shouldn't I already know that since we fucked in high school, Seymour?

Christina: Forgive me. Did I miss your official initiation into the Order?
Lancaster: I know I didn't miss yours. No cunts allowed. Not even if you think you can find the stolen pages.

You really gonna let [Tic] chase his tail, looking for answers you already have? Now I see where your son gets it. You're a real asshole.

Leti [to Montrose]

If there's one thing I do know, every locked thing has its key. You'll find it.

Phil [to Hippolyta]
