You’re not an interruption, Charley, and this isn’t good of me. There’s no place I’ll ever be if you ever need me. Unapologetically, automatically, I’m here. Okay?
Davis
Charley: How bad was I?
Davis: You couldn’t look bad, Charley, if you tried.
Violet: I thought you said I should stop meddling.
Hollywood: You’re still meddling, just hiding behind other people’s backs to do it.
When you’re good in this world, you live on, even when you’re in a different place.
Ralph Angel
[about Micah] He is way stronger than I ever was at his age and better than I ever was.
Davis
Violet: Ralph Angel, you are not your father’s son. How dare you put the weight of the world on that boy.
Ralph Angel: Look, I’m doing what I think is best, Aunt Vi.
Violet: You can’t see that you are about to screw up your son’s life. Do you want that on your conscience? Hasn’t he been through enough of you and Darla’s shit? That’s a real question. I’m waiting.
Ralph Angel: With all due respect, I ain’t got to answer you, Aunt Vi. Not you, not Nova, not Charley. The only person I’ve got to answer is my damn self. So we done here? Look, I’m trying not to hang up on you, Aunt Vi. I’m trying.
Violet: Go ahead. You can’t hurt me more than you’ve done. You’ve done broke my heart already. You know deep down that boy is mine as much as he is yours, and how dare you take him away from me.
Ralph Angel: That’s not your son, Aunt Vi. That’s the problem. You ain’t his mama. You ain’t even a parent, Aunt Vi. Man, please don’t disrespect me on this phone. I’m trying to do the same. What you say matters, but it’s not the final word. Look, I appreciate all you’ve done, really I do, but you can’t keep telling me what I can and can’t do with my son.
Violet: Ralph Angel, you a damn shame, and your daddy would be ashamed of you. And you just proved today that with all of your huffing and puffing and strutting, you ain’t nothing but a boy yourself.
Blue’s going to thrive wherever he goes. He’s exceptional in every way, and going to school in D.C. with a bunch of silver spooners doesn’t change that fact.
Nova
I made my choices, and I’m happy with them. You know, I see that it was a privilege to have a choice to even make. You feel me? My mom and dad gave that to me. I was fortunate. I could choose where I wanted to go, you know, what I wanted to do. If the world was fair, every kid would have that choice.
Micah
Charley: We live in a world where half the people think it’s your fault if you get sick, especially if you’re a woman.
Davis: I get that. I disagree, but I get why you keep your business, your business.
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.
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.
Calvin
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.
Davis
