- Khaila Richards: I killed him.
- Gussie: What?
- Khaila Richards: My baby. I killed my baby. I threw him in the trash can.
- Khaila Richards: What is it you don't want him to know, huh? That his mother is as black as he is?
- Margaret Lewin: [sneering] "Black!" All you people think about is color!
- Khaila Richards: You people? You *people*? Well, you better look around, cause me and Isaiah, we the same kind of people. Or didn't you notice?
- Margaret Lewin: Any animal can give birth. That doesn't make it a mother.
- Khaila Richards: Oh, so you're calling me an animal? If you think you're going to just take my baby from me like some puppy from a pound, you got another think coming, lady!
- Eddie Hughes: [to some children] There's a "Scooby Doo" marathon coming on tonight.
- Khaila Richards: [to Eddie] You better Scooby Doo your butt on out of here.
