Don’t run. Don’t ever run.

Darlene: So basically, he’s gifted, he’s black, and they need that.
Darla: I don’t want that life for him.
Darlene: Darla, don’t be dramatic. What are you even talking about?
Darla: That pressure, the tokenism, the lack of true connection. I know that life. I remember it.

Do you want to be like Oprah and Stedman? I mean, I’m good with that.

Calvin

You and me have been together on and off for many years now. I think it’s time for us to make some choices. You want to be husband and wife? You want to be partners? Do I need to put a ring on it, like they say? You want paperwork, too? I’m ready for any of it and all of it.

Charley: There aren’t enough doctors and beds. There are people who are worse than me.
Davis: Like I said, we can keep monitoring you from here for now. I got three doctors on standby walking me through everything, remote monitoring as much as we can. You’re stable right now, Charley, but if anything slips, I will not hesitate to get you what you need if I have to build a damn bed myself.

If he had a choice, he’d be here with you. When you love someone, you show up. And he should have that choice, Charley. You wouldn’t want something like this kept from you if the shoe was on the other foot.

Darlene: Who are you to say this?
Violet: Who am I? I’m the woman who practically raised him when you didn’t or couldn’t or wouldn’t. You pick.
Darlene: I sent money.
Violet: Yes, and thank you for that. And I gave time. You can make more money, you can’t make more time.

Blue is not going to D.C. Not while I’m living and maybe not even while I’m dead. Don’t try me on this.

Violet

Baby, you out here fighting battles that ain’t even yours. What’s really going on?

Hollywood

Violet: This whole damn year feels like somebody’s bad dream.
Hollywood: Yes, it does.
Violet: We can wake up, though. Open our eyes to our blessings. Try to get right with our hearts, our spirits. We can work on stuff that matters.
