My past led me to you and that led me to want to be a better man.
Calvin
Charley: I wish I could change what happened then but I can’t. I wish I could change what’s happening now but…
Romero: That’s your answer? You lost your building, your business and that’s terrible but these men lost their lives. Is this the real you?
Charley: Yeah, yeah I guess it is.
Baby, your mill just burned less than 24 hours ago. You don’t have to have the answers right now. This is the time for us to look at each other, to hold each other and to heal. The time to break bread as a family.
Violet
Nova: Charley, wait. Please. I know you don’t want to hear from me but let’s just talk through things first before we do anything rash.
Charley: You don’t get to say that to me, to us, and there is no we.
Violet: Sam, I did not summon you here for pleasantries or to talk old times. Have you lost your damn mind? Now I held off calling you even when my shop was trashed because I can handle my own things but this is my family. You crossed a line.
Sam: You know that’s not my style. I bark loud to protect my business and my land but I would never do something like this. You know that, Violet.
Violet: Then you tell that to Charley who just had the heaven knocked out of her. It may not be your style but it’s your people. Put a stop to it.
Sam: This is bigger than me. It’s out of my hands now.
Violet: Sam Landry, I’m calling in that favor. You find a way to put the dogs you lying with back on the leash.
Sam: I’ll try my best.
Violet: Don’t try. Do it.
Francis: I don’t know who burned your mill because I did not burn your mill but whoever did it, I’m glad for it. You needed to be put in your place.
Charley: My place is wherever I decide to be.
Francis: Coming down here infecting St. Jo with your nouveau riche sports money and a tawdry sex scandal. You’re nothing more than an upstart Mulato gal trying to be white but I guess that’s your mother’s fault.
Charley: Now you’d do best to keep my mother out of your mouth because deep down you know you’re just insecure, lying trash who try as she might, will never be more than what she’s always been. Irrelevant.
Charley: Why’d you even bother with the whole sisterhood masquerade?
Francis: The same reason you did, the art of war. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
You’re outdated, Francis, and too blind and basic to even see it. I almost feel sorry for you. Almost.
Charley
Charley: The time has come for justice and to end corporate greed and the exploitation of small, vulnerable communities.
Councilwoman: We’re here today to say we’re united. Defeating us won’t be easy.
Charley: We won’t let you walk over us, take away our farms and homes, destroy our livelihoods. We will keep fighting and we’re confident we will win.
Jacob: I won’t just let you make a fool of me, you know that, don’t you?
Charley: I think it’s a little late for that. Get out.
We will hit them with everything we can. If they’re going to take this from you, they’re going to have to work for it.
Deesha
I didn’t want to do it. This man, he offered me $500. I said no, then he said they’d do to my mom what they did to my dad unless I threw that brick through your window and messed up the diner.
Joaquin
