" Okay, so last time y'all saw Star..." " You're not happy to see me?" "I didn't kill Otis." "STAR:" "Well, if Simone didn't kill him, then who did?" "PHOTOGRAPHER:" "Can you switch for me?" "Yeah." "Why does everything have to be a fight with her?" "'Cause that's all she's ever known." "ALEXANDRA:" "Well, if we're ever gonna make it as a group, she needs to get it together." "My dad is in jail." "Must be why you're so tight with your mom." "You sure you want to give me your credit card?" "I see $20,000 spent in a high-end fashion boutique." "This is Detective Belkin from the Atlanta Police Department." "When's the last time you saw your husband?" "LEONARD:" "Jahil's up to something." "It's only a matter of time." "CARLOTTA:" "Lord, I know you got this... that you oversee all of this, but please keep an extra lookout for this girl." "She's naive and ain't got a clue about this thing called fame." "Maybe if you pull your eyes away from yourself, we can get to work." "I know the work and the song." "The children's hospital event is tomorrow." "We need to be working." "This is work." "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were singers." "It says right here, "Word on the street is that Morgan's new love interest," "Ms. Star Davis..." that's my name..." ""is the leader of a new up-and-coming girl group out of Atlanta."" "There is no leader." "(sighs) It's publicity, Alex." " That's all." " ALEXANDRA:" "Not the right kind." "Do you want to be known as some football player's piece of ass?" "Our likes are sky-high, and we're trending off the charts." "No." "You." "You're trending." "Not our music." "Jahil is late again." "Do you think it has something to do with this whole Otis thing?" "I think Jahil has a hangover." "I think that's what's wrong with Jahil." "(groans)" "Down." "(cocks gun)" "(phone buzzes)" "Yeah."

"Look, she is a loose cannon," " I know that, but she is..." " Trash." " No, she's the face of the group." " Mm-mm, not the group that I own." "Listen, Arlene, there is no group without Star." "You can't have a group without Star at the head of the group." "You know, the only thing that I should be hearing from your mouth right now is, "Thank you." "Thank you, Arlene."" "Yeah." "All right, well, look, they-they... they got a performance tomorrow night." "Good." "Make it be her last." "No, no, no, make her want it to be her last." "Keep that bitch away from my son."

"You think his family will respond to me?" "Respond to you?" " Yeah." " No." "Not if you talk like that." "Just go in there and act regular." "Don't stare at any of his cousins who have missing teeth, and don't squint or act surprised by his aunties with bad weaves." "You gotta respect the fact she didn't grow up the way that we did."
