Tuesdays 8:00 PM on OWNQueen Sugar Season 4 Episode 4: "Skin Transparent" Quotes
Micah: I don’t know why they think the silent treatment is going to solve anything.
Nova: There was a lot of anger in the moment but it’ll pass.
Micah: I don’t know. It’s like when my Mom and Dad broke up. I didn’t think we would get to where we could be in the same room again.
Nova: But you all got through it. It wasn’t overnight, but you got there. It’s the same with this. All I can do is let everybody know I love them and how important they are to me and in time this will be over.
Charley: We’ve spread the word that we’re a designated safe zone. A sensitive location, right? No ICE raids allowed.
Romero: I know but with all the hate in the air, people are afraid of ICE regardless. I mean, they’re raiding schools and churches. Nowhere is truly safe.
Charley: The police have him. Thankfully he wasn’t a part of anything organized, just one of those bored, hateful men spending too much time in basements.
Micah: Then why did he come after me?
Charley: Because you’re out there, trying to change things.
Rhonda: Miss Nova, I love you and I’m so sorry, but Miss Violet ain’t changed her mind about you visiting. Same as yesterday and the day before.
Nova: Okay, I hear you but could you just please tell Aunt Vi or Hollywood that I…
Rhonda: It’s no use. As soon as I say, “Nova said,” I get a hand to the face and a frosty attitude. She ain’t ready to hear from you. I’m sorry.
Isabel: I’m stepping down because I know a brick wall coming at me when I see one.
Charley: You didn’t choose this. They got to you somehow, didn’t they?
Isabel: That highway can’t be stopped. There’s too many deep pockets that want to get deeper that are fully invested in ensuring that it happens.
Frances: Land is the only thing God isn’t making any more of so it’s a blood sport and you know it.
Charley: Which is why I will not see my family and the black farmers of St. Jo thrown away like trash.
Francie: Forty years ago you’d be lucky to be allowed to clean toilets here and yet you just walked across these grounds like you own the damn place.
You think my sister’s sentimental drivel has given you insight into who I am and what I’ve done. You don’t know the half, so let me fill you in. You wouldn’t make it one day in Hollywood or professional basketball and as you said, I conquered them both. So what do you think I’m going to do to Jacob when he tries to run for office for you?
Charley
Tia will be welcome here any time to visit Micah.
Charley
Darla: Did you even consider my son hearing these things about his mother? What I used to do. Who I used to be.
Nova: Your identity is safe Darla.
Darla: You wrote that I used to steal to feed my addiction but you just published a book full of memories that you have stolen. You’re a thief.
Nova: Darla…
Darla: Do not touch me! Don’t ever come near me or Blue again. You are lower than I ever was.
Nova: I hope it’s not too late to call.
Chantal: No, but it depends on why you’re calling.
Nova: Just wondering if you wanted to get together after all? Come over?
Chantal: Wow. You do know where I’m at, Nova, right?
Nova: Yes.
Chantal: Then why didn’t you just come here, to me? So now you want to call late, have me leave and come to you like we’re Tinder buddies or something? No. You always did want everything done on your terms, Nova.
You think you’ve got a right to know what everybody holds in their soul, you don’t. All I know is that after that fishing trip Ernest wouldn’t take his eyes off Nova he was so worried, then one day he wasn’t worried no more. Do I think my brother carried a burden to his grave? Yes. Do I know what it was for sure? No, and I don’t want to know.
Violet
The way I see it, as long as you're not hurting nobody, everybody got a right to keep something between themselves and God. You need something to be able to talk about on Judgement Day.
Violet
