Queen & Slim

Slim: Are you a good lawyer? Queen: I'm an excellent lawyer. Slim: Why do black people always feel the need to be excellent? Why can't we just be ourselves?

I want a guy to show me myself. I want him to love me so deeply, I'm not afraid to show him how ugly I can be. I want him to show me scars I never knew I had. But I don't want him to make them go away. I want him to hold my hand while I nurse them myself. And I want him to cherish the bruises they leave behind.

Queen: He told me nothing scares a white man more than seeing a black man on a horse. Slim: Why? Queen: Because they have to look up at him.
