Good Trouble
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on FreeformGood Trouble Season 3 Quotes
I thought I wanted to have this party to prove to my parents that I'm an adult, but I think what I really wanted was to share a piece of my culture with everyone. Sometimes it's hard to balance keeping Asian traditions alive and also trying to feel American. My comedy program folks and I have been through some tough times recently being forced into a stereotypical box. I realize that everyone's experience is different, no matter what you look like. Celebrating and understanding those differences go a long way. Tonight was healing for me, and I hope in some way for all of you. I've never been prouder to be Chinese, and I'm just so proud to be able to call all of you family.
Alice
Gael: Jazmin and I are talking about how to tell our parents about the baby, and I know they're going to want to meet Isabella. But it feels weird to introduce them to her before they've met you. But I don't know how to introduce the woman that I got pregnant and the other woman that I'm dating. It just feels like it's a lot for them wrap their heads around, you know?
Callie: I get it. I don't think that there's a rush for them to meet me. Just let them wrap their heads around one thing at a time.
Gael: Are you sure, be honest?
Callie: It hurts a little, but I'm sure.
David: Is everything OK between you and folks?
Alice: Yeah, don't worry, I didn't take your job as Golden Boy.
David: You think I like being the Golden Boy? I've had nothing but expectations placed on me since I was born. I mean you get to be everything you want to be because I'm the one who has to fulfill all of their dreams. Can you imagine if I wanted to be a stand up comedian?
Alice: No, because you're not funny.
David: You know all they ever talk about with me is you.
Alice: I'm gay.
David: Awesome. Maybe we can grab a bite next week?
Malika: So how'd it go with Matt and Dennis last night?
Davia: Well, after some not-so-deep contemplation. Polyamorous isn't for me. I just can't be with two people that I love at the same time.
Mrs. Kwan: You're always so sensitive just like me. When I was young, my mother tried to toughen me up. We just want you to have thicker skin because life can be hard for someone with a sweet heart like yours.
Alice: Well, I am getting tougher. And I'm learning how to stand up for myself. I don't want you to make jokes and cut me down because that doesn't build me up. That doesn't make me feel good, and that's the only way that a sweet heart can survive in this world.
Alice: Thanks, by the way. For being there for me. I never could've done all of this without you.
Sumi: It was nice getting to be there for you for a change.
Alice: what did you do? What did you do?
Dennis: Your mom told me to cut my hair.
Alice: Never cut your hair on New Year's Day.
Dennis: Why not?
Alice, Malika, Davia: It's bad luck!
Malika: Maybe you should consider polyamory.
Davia: Wait, so I date them both and they just date whoever they want?
I understand that Isabella is pregnant, but I'm pretty sure she can keep track of her own hydration.
Callie
Tonya: Dyonte was telling me that you asked to slow things down with him, and I don't want to pry into your business, but I was wondering if that had anything to do with me?
Malika: No, not you specifically. I think this whole thing is new to me and I was a bit
Tonya: Overwhelmed? I get it. I've been poly for a while now, and still, at times it has its challenges.
Alice: The point is I want to make you proud and I don't know how.
Mr. Kwan: You make us proud just by being you.
Mrs. Kwan: I tell my friends at Mahjong all about my son the baker and my daughter the building manager.
