On My Block
Mondays on NetflixOn My Block Quotes
Cesar: You were right about everything.
Oscar: Let me call Sad Eyez.
Cesar: I've been put off. I'm scared, Oscar.
Oscar: I know.
Cesar: I'm sorry.
Oscar: Hey, it's going to be okay. This is what it's about, mano. This moment of clarity. We'll figure it out.
You don't bring kiddie glue to a glue gunfight!
Jamal
Ray: Mijo, your brother was in the life, and the streets got a long memory. This ain't about you.
Cesar: Either way, someone's gonna pay.
Jamal: She did put me on the trajectory, but I"m the one who did the world. I had the same friends for forever, they weren't holding me back, but because they were always around I was always in my comfort zone. I never got to branch out on my own before. When I did I discovered new interests, different parts of my personality. If I hadn't canceled Monse I wouldn't have evolved.
Jasmine: And you can't evolve without conflict. I can't get back with Ruby.
Jamal: You can't. Plus maybe some alone time is best for him.
Abuelita: You need to learn how to do things for yourself.
Ruby: But I have you.
Abuelita: You can't always rely on other people.
Abuelita: Slow down, and pay attention. And when you make a mistake, which you will, don't be discouraged. There will be times you want to give up or think things are so bad they can't be fixed...but I promise you, with enough determination and patience, anything can be mended.
Ruby: I know what you're doing, this isn't a sewing lesson, it's a life one.
Monse: Picture if you took all the time that you put into others and put it into yourself. You could be vibrating on a whole new frequency.
Jasmine: Damn, I like the sound of that. And maybe that me could be the me that Ruby can finally see. Monse: Or maybe you'll finally see yourself.
Abuelita: What do you want, Jamal?
Jamal: You're tired all the time. You've gone from tequila to Ensure. Abuelita, are you sick?
Abuelita: Don't tell Ruby.
Jamal: You know a thank you would be nice.
Ruby: Thanks, Cesar.
Monse: yeah, sorry I said Big Foot was a bad idea.
Jamal: I wasn't talking about Cesar. I was talking about me. You guys wouldn't know anything about Big Foot if it weren't for me.
Monse: I don't know who you are.
Cesar: I'm the same person. I'm just trying to take care of everyone. Including you, I-- I love you.
Monse: Really? You love me enough to make me an accessory to assault? To put my future in jeopardy? Is that love?
Cesar: We said we were going to make this work, and now you're deciding not to.
Monse: No, I'm not doing anything except taking care of myself. I'm not going to stand by here and watch you bring both of us down.
Cesar: Yeah, I always knew you weren't ride or die.
Monse: No. I'm not. I'm not, Cesar, because the truth is, unlike you, I don't wanna die.
What is it with you taking orders from bitches, Bitch?!
Joker
I was so naive about the whole thing. I didn't want to think that Cesar was really changing, but he did. And when I finally saw it, I couldn't unsee it. Thought I could save him, but all I could do was accept the situation for what it was and choose to stay with him or not. It was a choice, and I chose me.
Monse
