Nadine Ellis: Leah Franklin-Dupont

Quotes 

• Teddy Franklin : He lied to me, which is a ship that I have to right, as well as my relationship with Angela, which is why I'm going to help Nikki's father get out of prison.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Prison?

  Teddy Franklin : Her ex wrote me, and now I have an opportunity that I'm going to use to my advantage. To break up Angela and Tyrique? Mm-hmm.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Daddy, come on. These are people we're talking about, not chess pieces.

  Teddy Franklin : I'm helping! And when it all works out, I'll be the kindly patron, the Vaughns will be reunited, I will get my soldier back, Franklin Holdings will receive great PR, and the stadium deal could use a fresh coat of "Innocence Project" paint to cover up the scuffs we've accumulated along the way.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Hmm. Well, you might want to double coat the scuffs before Raymond's ex comes knocking. She's summering in the Bluffs, and she will keep her ear close to the ground.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : The last thing I need right now is Alex to take notes during cotillion. I mean, Olivia already wants my head on a platter after Lauren's stunt at the Claiming Ceremony. The cotillion has to be perfect.

  Teddy Franklin : Then we give Alex nothing to report. I know how much this weekend means to you. We're always talking about my legacy. The cotillion could be the beginning of yours. And it has always been me and you against the world.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Me and you, against the world.

• Angela Vaughn : 'Cause I wouldn't want to have to take out my Boston on you.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Oh. Yeah, please don't do that, because something tells me that your Boston would likely Likely beat my bougie ass.

  Angela Vaughn : Up and down the street.

• Leah Franklin-Dupont : Well, America's justice system has never favored Black people, whether we're wealthy or poor. So, helping Nate is a move toward solidarity.
