Queen Sugar
Tuesdays 8:00 PM on OWNQueen Sugar Season 3 Quotes
Nova: Look, I understand you all wanting to say something, I’ve been there, but we have to weigh the cost. I’m concerned that you destroyed a piece of history that’s taught generations about a resilient people.
Micah: That fire was a total accident.
Nova: It was a mistake, but what were your intentions.
Micah: To stop the tourists from mocking our people. To stop them from exploiting our history.
It’s like one minute Ralph Angel and I are these amazing parents and the next, I don’t know who we are.
Darla
Stop acting like you're woke just because you burnt down our ancestors home and you got your friend arrested.
Keke
[to Remy] What I feel for you is real but it's not worth the price it would take from those we love. I can feel that, can't you?
Nova
Colton: I'll give you half. Now, five percent's a lot.
Charley: Money laundering is a federal crime, Colton, and not only will you go to prison but the painstaking FBI searches and all of the investigations into your Daddy's company's finances, everything you've ever been a part of. He'll regret ever giving you a dime. I want it all. All ten percent. I'm not here to barter. You can take your Daddy down or I can take you down. Your choice.
Darlene: We can provide the best care, money, and stability that that child needs.
Violet: Like your daughter had. See, maybe if the mama ain't here one minute and gone the next Blue wouldn't be having these problems. Did you ever think about that?
My Mama was my North Star, free, fierce, a warrior. My Mama was the ground beneath my feet but the day the sickness came the trees shook and the ground swayed and at 19 I let out a cry in this earthquake of sorrow. She was my everything. Grief and confusion wedged into every corner of my universe. Where her bright light once chartered my way, everything went dark. But an hour from New Orleans on the other side of Lake Pontchartrain, deep in the stalks of the cane fields, my sweet Daddy's tears quenched the earth. I never knew that that land and my mama's grave beneath it were more than he could bear.
Nova
Darlene: I just want to start by saying that this is all for Blue.
Violet: You've got to do better than that because if this was all for Blue you would have come long ago with more than a checkbook, but oh no, you left the raising to us.
Darlene: That is not what…
Violet: Treating us like some glorified babysitters while your daughter was off snorting, smoking, and doing whatever and whoever she could get her hands on.
Darlene: Don't…
Violet: Lady, you about to feel the Bordelon wrath.
Darlene: I am grateful for everything that you and your brother did to raise Blue, and I had no problem when it was you and Ernest. But ever since Ralph Angel's taken over there have been things, questionable manners to which he raises that child.
Violet: How you know how he cares for that child? You and the baby's mama have been resting in D.C. while he's down here busting his ass every day to put clothes on that boy's back. Every dime he makes goes to that child. Every ounce of love he has goes to that little boy.
Charley: When I told you about the mill you let me know how wrong I was.
Nova: I know.
Charley: You were unrelenting.
Nova: I know.
Charley: It wasn't the first time but it will be the last.
Nova: I didn't ask for this.
Charley: You didn't walk away either.
Nova: I will. I will if you want me too.
Whatever you're doing with Nova you better be damned sure you know exactly what she wants because if you hurt her, if you make her feel even an ounce of what I'm feeling right now… Nova and I are forever. We're family. As for you, you will always be fleeting.
Charley
Charley: Can't speak in front of Mama?
Jacob: I know what you think of me.
Charley: You overestimate yourself. I don't think of you at all.
Folks like us, we get so used to working all our lives just getting by that we don't know what to do when getting by ain't our every day anymore.
Violet
