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.

Jenny: Hi. How you holding up?
Lauren: How much longer do I have to pretend that I’m dead?

Tariq: The fuck? You live in this bitch now?
Brayden: Yeah, and you had a party and didn’t invite a brother?
Cane: Shut up, Tom Brady.

I love working with you, Tariq. The cash always clears. Plus, I gotta pay for this new office somehow.

Davis

Brayden: What the hell happened?
Cane: Ain’t it obvious? Original Urkel solved ya’ll problems.

Tariq: Wow, it’s almost like you care.
Tate: Hate when people act like black lives matter until it matters.

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.

Saxe: You took money from Cane Tejada.
Davis: And you framed James St. Patrick for murder. Don’t come in here waving your sanctimonious self-hatred at me. I’ve accepted who I am. Survival of the fittest. That’s what I do. Survive. And so do you. We’re the fucking same.

Tasha: Don’t underestimate my son, Tameka. That boy’ll surprise you. I promise you that.
Tameka: He’s already surprised me.

Saxe: Just walk away. Just walk away while you still can.
Jenny: You know, at some point, Saxe. Walking away means becoming an accomplice. And you wonder why we can’t be a real thing. It’s because of this.

Zeke, what looks like lies and betrayal, I’m telling you it’s nothing but unconditional love. Now maybe you’ll understand that when you have kids of your own, but Monet would do anything for you. You can trust me on that.

Mecca

Monet: Your father shot at me. You gonna stand for that? It’s him or me, Cane. Choose.
Cane: I do this shit. Dru and Diana will never forgive me, you know that, right?
Monet: I’ll deal with Dru and Diana.

Power Book II: Ghost Quotes

Carrie: You just got here. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
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?
Ida: Young African-Americans have a responsibility to be prompt, young man. We must subvert expectations whenever possible.

Simon: Yeah, well I guess you have thee family emergency these days, don't you? He really is remarkably resilient, wouldn't you say, Ida?
