Tuesdays 8:00 PM on OWNQueen Sugar Season 5 Quotes
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
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.
Don’t run. Don’t ever run.
Ralph Angel
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.
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.
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.
So tomorrow, Blue, we’re marching so that what happened to Mr. Floyd doesn’t happen to anyone else, especially people who look like us.
Darla
Darla: He’s 10. His world has to be better than this, and always. We have to make sure that happens, okay?
Ralph Angel: Always.
Courtney: I want to be a good ally. I want to be a good person. I thought I was. I feel like I just keep putting my foot in my mouth. I feel like I don’t know anything.
Nova: You’re feeling all the right things. Look at me. Never feel satisfied. Never feel that you know it all. Stay uncomfortable. Stay pushing yourself. Stay asking questions, stay listening. Stay trying. That’s what it means to be a good ally, a good person.
Violet: Well, what about The Real Spot? Does that matter? Let’s talk about that.
Hollywood: Ain’t nothing to talk about. Sitting over there empty on a year’s lease with six months left to go. Draining every little bit of my settlement savings. There ain’t shit that I can do about it, so what I’m going to do is sit here, drink this beer, watch this game, which I already know the outcome of, and wait for my beautiful wife, who happens to be a tremendous cook, go and bring me something to eat.
Ain’t nobody okay right now, truth be known. And Hollywood, he’s in a bad place over Willa Mae. Emotions, moods all over the place, and I don’t know if I should just leave him be or…
Violet
