"This information was given to you in confidence." "You're a proud Latino." "Congratulations." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Once you take the shot, you'll have 36 hours until you need to get back here for the extraction."

"The needle is a lot bigger than the others." "You'll be fine." "I have all the confidence in the world." "Now, the sole purpose of this shot is to trigger your ovulation cycle, giving us 36 hours until your eggs reach their ideal readiness for extraction."

"Okay, yeah." "No." "I'm strong, but I" " Seriously." "I mean, I really could use your ear right now." "And you thought you should come over here first thing in the morning to talk to me about Ana?" "Way to keep it classy, dude." "Can we please not do this part?" "My thoughts exactly." "Mary Jane, wait." " Oh, I'm sorry." "What am I waiting for, exactly?" "Am I waiting for you not to have wanted her in the first place or her not to be pregnant?" "Listen, I can't undo what's already done." "I know." "I can't, so I've just been trying to live in the moment." "Okay." "All right." "Last night I had this realization." "I was up late trying to put the crib together" "Really?" " I know, but that's when it hit me." "I've changed everything." "Just about every aspect of my life for somebody that I don't even know." "I know." "Because you already love your baby." "Got it." "No." "I'm not talking about the baby, and that's my point." "You should have thought about that before you got her pregnant." "Mary Jane, I'm just trying to do the right thing." "I didn't want my kid to grow up knowing what it's like to not have a father in the house." "Very noble of you." "I am trying to tell you I feel trapped." "I'm pretty sure she feels the same way." "So that's why you're here, because you feel trapped?" "No." "I'm here because neither one of us is living the life we're supposed to be living." "And yet that still doesn't change the fact that she's having your baby, does it?" "Does it?" "So at this point, I don't really know what more you want from me."

"And in a separate statement, this one coming from the Associated Press, citing an anonymous source close to Mr. Ellis, we've learned, and again I quote," "Though we've seen Brian exhibit erratic behavior in the past, coupled with unexpected bouts of hostility, we were unaware, until today, that he suffers from a mild form of schizophrenia, a disease for which he recently began seeking treatment."

"Did you know that etouffee in French literally translates to "suffocate?"" "To smother." " What's your point?" "I'm guessing you're trying to make one." "My point is that black men in America today, like Brian Ellis, have been smothered literally their whole lives." "Smothered as they clawed their way up the ranks." "Smothered by corporate greed." "Smothered by racism." "By oppression." "Smothered by hatred." "Smothered by fear." "Smothered by a system that truly never wanted to see them succeed." "And why do you think that is?" "Jealousy." "Obama's walk was inspired by Michael Jordan's dunk, was inspired by John Coltrane's solo, by Malcolm X's thoughts." "Can you drive the car straight?" "Because I have low blood sugar." "Black men represent freedom, and that's what they're trying to squash." "So many black men, myself included, have been surveilled." "Have been bullied." "Have been pushed until we find ourselves standing out on a ledge with nowhere to go but down." "You made it clear that you wanted to tell my story." "The story of who I am, of where I've come from." "What I've been through." "What I've endured to find success." "This is my story, or at least it's as close to it as I'm currently willing to share." "Okay." "You know, it's rarely discussed, but the life of a black man today is significantly more difficult than any other single demographic." "Well, except for that of a black woman." "Including that" "Is that so?" "Most definitely." "I'm not sure if you're trying to pick a fight with me or offend me." "Neither." "I'm just trying to make a point." "So are you saying that black women have not been smothered by American ideals and expectations?" "That we have not been surveilled, pushed down, bullied, and belittled by society?" "Is that what you're trying to say?" "No, I'm not" " No, no, no." "Let me finish, because, truth be told, not only has society tried to smother black women, we've also been smothered by the very black men who claim to defend our honor." "Least you guys have someone to go home to." "Chit-chat with." "Talk out your troubles, but who the hell takes care of us?" "Who's left to love the black woman, hmm?" "You want to talk hard?"

"That wasn't the correlation I was making." "In my opinion, that'd be a foolish one to make." "But since you brought it up, yes." "Black men are in college." "Community college, not the fiercely competitive ones that you and I attended." "Those are the men I'm talking about." "Where are they?" "Stop me if I'm wrong, but don't black women make up 2/3 of all African-American bachelor degrees?" "70% of all master's degrees?" "60% of all doctorates?" "I mean, I'm not naïve to understanding the systemic complexities of the journey, but come on." "At the end of the day, our men aren't there." "So, you think this is hard?" "Living up in this massive house?" "Try being a single black woman in America." "That's hard." "Yeah." "You're sexy." " Okay." "See, that's the belittling that I was just talking about."

"Hmm." "Are you always this nice?" "Trust me." "I'm not that nice." " Oh, good." "Then you still have a chance." "To not being so nice." "And to... new beginnings." "I like that." "Mmm." "Very good." "So, I want to hear all about Gael." "What is it like being a geo-something engineer?" "What is it?" " Geotechnical." "Technical, right." "And I'm not even gonna pretend I know what that means." "I pretty much assess the risks involved prior to building large structures." "Oh, okay." "Factoring in things like earthquakes, landslides, sinkholes, soil liquefaction." "Have I bored you to death yet?" "No, no." "Actually, it-- it sounds fascinating, really." "Well, the first thing you learn in my line of work is that everything in life has a return period, and that no matter how hard you try to fight against it, eventually, everything has to return back to its natural state." "[line ringing]" "Hey." "Can you come over?" "Yeah." "Just let yourself in, okay?"
