"If you're lucky, they'll offer you a plea deal with a minimum of five years." "I might consider that." "STAR:" "We got to get him out of this." "CARLOTTA:" "Ain't nobody got $25,000 laying' around." "You might want to donate to a good cause." "Take some money." "COTTON:" "I met a man, children." "I still have a penis." "ELLIOT:" "I hope I don't let you down." "I am a man." "Say it!"

"Cut the crap, Arlene." "You don't like me, and the only reason you haven't called the cops yet is because you know exactly what I'll them that your son did to me." "Perfect, let's just act like we normally do." "Whatever issue that you have with my son can be handled, I'm sure, very quietly." "We're not gonna have any problems as long as your son learns to keep his hands off of me." "And he will." "Yes." "Arlene, regardless of what you think," "I like your son." "And I'm gonna fix whatever it is you messed up in him." " Oh, let me just..." " Mom." "Mom, relax." " Star isn't going anywhere." " Shut up." "You will not do what your father did to me." "Am I clear?" "Yeah." "That you're willing to take all of this says a lot about who you are." "Wow." "I don't know who's worse between you and your mother." "But you sure are a weird-ass little couple." "Why didn't you call me?" "I was home." "I would've let you in." "I left the group." "Why?" "Jahil put Eva in the group." "Probably sleeping with her, too." "I don't know where that conniving little lost puppy came from, but if he wants her, he can have her." "What'd the girls say?" "I haven't talked to them since I walked out of rehearsal, which is... the only reason that I'm here." "Don't touch me." "How do you think this is about to go, Hunter?" "Do you really think I haven't been through this scenario before?" "I don't care what issues you have." "I do not feel bad for you." "And if you ever try to put your hands on me again," "I will end you and destroy your career." "(quietly):" "I'm sorry." "(indistinct chatter)" "I really appreciate you stepping in."
