Quotes 

  • Queen : I want a guy to show me myself. I want him to love me so deeply that I'm not afraid to show how ugly I can be. I want him to show me scars I never knew I had. But I don't want him to make them go away, I want him to hold my hand while I nurse them myself. And I want him to cherish the bruises they leave behind.

  • Queen : Thank you for this journey, no matter how it ends.

  • Queen : Can I be your legacy?

    Slim : You already are.

  • Queen : He told me nothing scares a white man more than seeing a black man on a horse.

    Slim : Why?

    Queen : 'Cause they have to look up at him.

  • Slim : You a good lawyer?

    Queen : I'm an excellent lawyer.

    Slim : Why do black people always feel the need to be excellent? Why can't we just be ourselves?

  • Queen : Pictures aren't just about vanity, they're proof of your existence.

  • Slim : When I was little, I asked my mom where babies come from. She said I was too young to know. Then I asked my dad. And he said, Babies are a product of two people that needed something from each other. So I said, Needed what? He said, Maybe they needed to feel seen. Maybe they needed to feel loved. Maybe they needed to feel human.

    Queen : And then what?

    Slim : Then I asked my grandmother. She said babies come from God. They're his way of making sure no one ever really dies. I remember her saying, Through our children, we are reborn. Then I went to my older brother and I asked him. And he said, Nobody knows. You're just born. That's it. Now, leave me alone. I wasn't satisfied with that answer either, but I ran out of family members to ask. So he got the last word.

    Queen : So, who was right?

    Slim : None of 'em. Babies come from fucking. Plain and simple.

  • Slim : Are you tryin' to die?

    Queen : No. I just always wanted to do that.

    Slim : Well, don't do it while I'm drivin'

    Queen : You should try it.

    Slim : Nah, I'm good.

    Queen : Pull over.

    Slim : Na-ah.

    Queen : Come on! Pull over. Pull over!

    Slim : If I do, would you please, let me drive the rest of the way it is?

    Queen : Swear to God.

    Slim : Strong something you believe in.

    Queen : OK, fine. I swear on you.
