Darla: You faced your fear, and you got free. I have to do the same.
Violet: You don’t have to do anything. Every situation is different. Freedom looks different for each of us.
You are doing all of this for our farms, and you ain’t even got your own to hold onto now. I’m learning from you, Ralph Angel like I learned from your Daddy.
Cardale
Last night, I looked into the eyes of a man who looked like my son. The same man who assaulted my wife. If Micah wasn’t there to stop me, I would have killed him. No remorse. Part of me wishes I did.
Ralph Angel
One catastrophe at a time.
Ralph Angel
To keep a promise to myself. To be the woman I’ve always wanted to be. Not to give in to the desires of the moment. Who honors her relationships. Who doesn’t cheat. I’ve struggled with that most of my adult life, and last night, I didn’t cross any of my own boundaries, and I’m proud of that.
Nova
The more I spend time with other men, the more I can’t stop thinking about Vince.
Billie
Darla: This is my family. You’ve met my husband, Ralph Angel. He’s here to make sure that you don’t hurt me. And Hollywood is here to make sure that Ralph Angel doesn’t hurt you unless it’s absolutely necessary. And Violet…
Violet: I’m the unknown quantity. You just never know.
Nobody here likes you. Finish your paperwork, and I’ll make sure you get out of here in one piece.
Violet
Now, he will never give you an apology worth a damn. He’ll never make amends. That’s his burden to carry into whatever lies ahead for him. But if facing him, looking him in the eye one more time, declaring your truth can help you in any way. Now is the time to do it.
Violet
Darla: That rage you felt last night; I have felt that for years. You think you’re the only one who’s wanted to kill him? I’ve been there, but I won’t do it. I will not lower myself to that, and neither will you. But I will get on any stand. I will go to any newspaper. I will go to his wife, his boss, and all of his friends, and I will tell them what he did to me.
Ralph Angel: I love you, Darla, but you could barely handle Nova’s book. Are you sure you want to go public with this? Do you think that’s a good idea?
Darla: Yes, I do. I have nothing to lose with you by my side.
Nova: Yes, I miss you. Yes, I think of you now and then, of what we had. But I had to face the facts; that we loved each other for a time, that we tried to turn our love into an actual life together more than once. More than twice. But that we just aren’t meant to be that for each other, and that’s okay. I’ve made peace with it.
Calvin: I have this recurring dream of you and I sitting on an old porch swing, old and gray and still in love. I don’t think I can make peace with that. I don’t know how to. The story keeps repeating in my head.
People do the best they can, and we all fall short. Even the best of us.
