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?

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%.

Effie: Are you gonna be able to do it this time?
Brayden: Do I have a choice?

Brayden: I just really thought I could pull the the trigger, but I fucking froze. Like Elsa.
Effie: Yeah, well, Elsa would have pulled the fucking trigger, Brayden.
Brayden: You're not helping, Effie.

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: 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.

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

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.

I told you he wasn't ready.

Cane [to Lorenzo]

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]

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