"You know, Auntie," "I know you've been trying to apologize, but real talk?" "You're mean." "What?" "[laughs]" " Don't be trying - to act brand-new." ""What?"" "I push you to reach your full potential." "That's all." "No, what you do is ride me about my health when I'm fine." " You're not fine, - and one day," "You're gonna see me being mean as love." "When are you gonna trust that I'm gonna make my own decisions in my own time?" "[phone playing music]" "Well, you're doing a lot." "I'ma let that go to voice-mail." " You playing coy for the boy?" " Really?" "Something like that." "Yeah." "[chuckles]" "But yeah, I know you want to jump back into our roles as auntie and favorite niece, but truth be told," "I'm still hurt." "I have apologized to you, child." "What more do you want?" "I used to look up to you," "Auntie." "In my eyes, you could do no wrong." "You know why I begged you to come over here?" "Because your perfect aunt was terrified of going to work without her weave, terrified that no one would think I was beautiful, that people would think I was average and I'd be invisible." " So maybe that pedestal - you put me on" "Is a little too high." "I'm human." "Well, with me, you're human a lot." "You want a glass of wine?" "What you talking 'bout, Willis?" "Do you want a glass of wine?" "Auntie, I am 19." " And didn't I just say - you're on your third glass?" "Yeah, but you got two kids by two different baby daddies." "I think you are grown enough for a glass of wine." "Come again?" "Do you want a glass of wine?" "[sighs]" " Yeah, I'll have a glass - of wine." "Mm-hmm." "[laughs]" "But seriously, Auntie." "I worry about you." "I worry about me too." "[pop music]" "(Nicki Minaj)" "♪ Pills and potions ♪" "♪ We're overdosing' ♪" "♪ I'm angry, but I still love you ♪" "♪ ♪" "(David)" "Hey, what's up?"

"And if a sign you got from God told you to treat me like this, then we clearly don't believe in the same god." "I really thought it was gonna be different this time, really thought we had a shot." "But looks like this is as far as it goes." " We've been through a lot, - and I was willing to give you" "Everything you wanted, but... guess it wasn't enough." "It's never enough for you."
