Salim: Why is that brother staring at you?
Diana: That's my actual brother.
Salim: Oh, okay.

RSJ: You do know why Lucas brought you in here today, right?
Lucas: Ph yeah. So I could appeal to you.
RSJ: Straightforward. I like that. Just make sure you're using them as much as they're using you.
Tariq: I got to meet RSJ, right?

Kevin: Okay, you know what, what is it with you two and this fucking kid, okay? Monet killed Carrie. She was one of us. Remember?
Jenny: Okay, um, just take it easy because you're getting real emotional right now.

Tariq: I don't know, B. This is a big fucking move. I think we should figure out a different way.
Effie: Fuck no. Cane's right. It's gotta be him. Brayden, you were gonna have to man up at some point.
Brayden: Yeah, yeah, you're right. Bet.
Effie: We'll be there to back you up.
Tariq: Yeah, 100%.

Everett: I'm moving at the pace I can, Dru. Don't be greedy.
Dru: Don't be what?

There's things that are more important than just money and drugs, B. And that's family. Family's fucking important.

Tariq

All this time, you thinking I'm not ready for the fucking throne. But you weren't ready for me. And now that I know the truth, I fucking own you. So, this Noma weight we talked about earlier, you're gonna move it. See you at the house.

Cane [to Lorenzo]

Saxe: Tariq St. Patrick is guilty of a lot of things. But pining an entire drug organization on a nineteen-year-old kid is gonna be a tough sell. Even for you.
Jenny: He's not just any kid. Look at who his parents were. Tariq was groomed for this. You think anyone was surprised Lebron's kid could dunk a basketball?
Saxe: Um, no. And I think that's a little racist.

Tariq: Life is kill or be killed. Same goes for America. Greed is just another word for growth. The bigger you get, the more you have. The more you have, the more you need. It's the law of nature.
Salim: I should point out that's also the philosophy of a cancer cell.

I told you he wasn't ready.

Cane [to Lorenzo]

Lorenzo: Hey, I know you’re grieving, but you ain’t gonna talk to me like that.
Monet: I’ll talk to you any way I fucking feel like it. And the last time I checked, you’re supposed to be getting me some answers.
Lorenzo: I’m working as hard as I can to get the motherfucker that got Zeke, alright? You just need to chill and cut me some fucking slack.
Monet: I’ll cut you some fucking slack when I put a bullet in whoever took Zeke away from me.

Lucas: If you ever tell him I told you this, I will cut your balls off. Course Correct was genius. If I was still at Stansfield, it’s something I would have thought of.
Brayden: Thank you. Finally.
Lucas: Taking the stand and telling the whole world you created it is less than genius. That was downright stupid.
Brayden: I had no choice.
Lucas: You’re a Weston. We always have choices.

Power Book II: Ghost Quotes

Tariq: I have to help my grandmother with my baby sister. I have to help my family.

Simon: Why, Tariq, I had almost given up hope. Is your watch stopped?
