Robert: There's nothing wrong with giving credit where credit is due.
Nova: You can give him all the credit you want, he's still a horse's ass.
Honesty is in my blood. My mother is the queen of brutal honesty.
Charley
I just wanted her to see how far I’ve come so she wouldn’t feel like she’s embarrassed of her daughter. Just proud.
Darla
Strange, I was on all the other emails in the chain. Maybe just hit Reply All next time, or I can show you how if the technology is too confusing for you
Charley
I don't know what kind of girls you dated in Los Angeles but I don't roll like that.
Keke
Charley: When I first got down here, no farmers wanted anything to do with me, and over time I was able to change a few minds; they just happened to all be black.
Lorna: Did you even try talking to the others. I mean, did you even attempt talking with the white farmers.
Charley: Of course I did. None of them wanted to mill with a woman who looked like me. Like I said, that's how it is here.
Lorna: That sounds like an excuse to me. I did not raise you to believe in barriers. You cannot just roll over because “that's how it is here.” If you don't like the way things are then you work on changing it.
Nova: My whole life is about lifting up people who've been hurt and when it comes to my own nephew, I failed. It's one of the reasons I've never wanted kids.
Robert: Yeah, me neither.
Robert: I feel that my work has a higher purpose.
Nova: I feel the exact same way.
Charley: I just had to sit there and take it because I don't want to be the angry black woman at my first meeting. And my Mom is telling me that I should bring white farmers in to the mill and on the one hand it's good advice. It would actually expand my business but, you understand, I don't feel like doing that right now. I just, I can't please anyone.
Vi: Charley, you are grown, and you have a son who looks to you every day for who he's going to be. You ain't got time to be playing by anybody's rules but your own, and I ain't never known you to be someone who needs permission.
Ralph Angel: It ain't easy it being thrown in my face like that. I can't get that picture out of my head.
Darla: We've both done things that we're not proud of. We were just trying to get by back then.
Ralph Angel: You were trying to get by on drugs.
Darla: What?
Ralph Angel: You was whoring to make money so you could get high. Ain't that what happened?
Darla: And you were stealing credit cards and robbing convenience stores.
Ralph Angel: The two don't compare. I did that so I could take care of Blue. You was only thinking of yourself, as always.
Darla: Is this what our marriage is going to look like?
Ralph Angel: I don't know.
Darla: Us having the same argument over and over again. You cannot keep punishing me for my mistakes, Ralph Angel.
Ralph Angel: I ain't punishing you, but it is what it is, Darla.
Darla: I'm not that person any more and I am so tired of trying to convince you that I'm not.
