On My Block
Mondays on NetflixOn My Block Quotes
Monte: Don't waste this opportunity on some gangbanger. His life isn't going anywhere, but yours can.
Cesar: Your dad's right.
Monte: I'm sorry.
Cesar: Don't be. She needs to go.
Monte: Feel free to convince her. I need a break and a drink.
Just because you're from the streets doesn't mean you need to stay there.
Monte
Oscar: Hermano, it's a new day. I don't need this shit. I want adult problems. Maybe have a wife, a kid. All I have right now is resentment and missed opportunities. I don't want that shit no more. It's time to give it away and start a new chapter.
Cesar: What if someone takes your power?
Oscar: Let 'em. You taught me the real power is all up here.
Oscar: These are your territories. As long as you stay in your territories, there's nothing to worry about. You have my word. We've had our head on a swivel too long. No más. We work together to clip problems before they become problems. You good?
19th Street gang member: Yeah. I want to make it to my 16th birthday.
Ruby: Life is fleeting. I have had more than one moment to know what that means. I don't have time to waste. I have to go with my gut. And my gut is telling me that I have to do what feels right. And what feels right is you.
Jasmine: So you got to do me?
Ruby: Hopefully, at some point.
Jasmine: I don't know. That's really forward of you, Ruby.
Ruby: I think you can handle it.
Jasmine: I-I don't know if I can. But I'm willing to try.
Ruby: Kissing you is not like kissing my abuelita. I was trying to--
Jasmine: Crush me?
Ruby: No!
Jasmine: Stab me in the heart?
Ruby: No!
Jasmine: Cut my soul in half and then pee on it?
Ruby: .No! I was just trying to protect you.
You'd be surprised by how much of the body can be sewn together.
Abuelita
Abuelita: Thank you.
Oscar: For what.
Abuelita: You know what.
Monse, I never got to tell him I was sorry. I never got to thank him for everything he has done for me.
Cesar
Monse: Spooky's dead. He's processing losing the only real family that he has.
Ruby: No we're the only real family that he has.
Monse: Then act like it.
Ruby: You're acting like you're the only one who ever lost anything or anyone. You're not the only one who almost died or watched the love of their life choke on her own blood. Or who took months to feel semi-normal because being normal is something I'll never get to be. This isn't about just you, Cesar.
Jamal: Some of us are collateral damage in your shit.
Cesar: I don't need your disrespect.
Jamal: Whoa. You don't even get it. Just being your friend is a liability. Then don't be.
Monse: Oh. Hey let's not go there.
Ruby: But we're there. Look in the mirror and remember who you are. Cause we don't work for you. We aren't the Santos. There is no hierarchy in our friendship where we work for your respect. You want respect, go hang out with those dudes on your front porch. But real friends call you on your shit.
Cesar: Leave. I release you. I don't want to be anybody's liability.
Jamal: I found the money to help save Cesar. What did you do?
Ruby: I took a bullet for him.
Cesar: Hey, I didn't ask for help. Then or now. I can't believe how selfish you all are being when my brother, who was trying to protect all of us, is now probably dead because of us. You know what? Just go home. I'd rather do this by myself.
