- Helen Patterson: I will not tolerate this kind of behavior under my roof. Baby girl, your behavior has consequences for the entire family.
- Niecy: You act like I asked to be tased, Grandma.
- Helen Patterson: Truth be told, Niecy, I had hoped this would be a wake-up call for you and that you would start acting more maturely. Sadly, you have proved it not to be so.
- Paul Patterson, Sr.: [to Niecy] You bought that deadbeat a car?
- Niecy: He's been there for me, Isabelle and Treyvion. He's been trying!
- Paul Patterson, Sr.: Yeah, right, now that he has the car, has he still been trying? I ask you again, now that he has the car, has he still been trying?
- [Niecy doesn't answer him]
- Paul Patterson, Sr.: Yeah, that's what I thought.
- Mary Jane Paul: [to PJ] Don't you ever miss Atlanta?
- Paul Patterson, Jr.: Why would I want to go back to the place where I was twirling signs and selling weed?
