Ali:

Mickey:
My food is created to nourish the soul, okay? I haven't used pork since Thelma was on Good Times about to marry Ibe, the African prince and I said, "No, no, no, I'm waiting on my African prince to be my baby's daddy, so I stopped use pork,because I started using chicken broth, cause I couldn't be doin that! So I don't know what you talking about." See what I cook is much healthier than that *bird* stuff Alfred is cookin' for him!"
Nisi:
You remember when we took those CPR classes?
Mickey:

Mickey laid her head against Mr. B's neck to see if he was still alive] He's alive!

Nisi:

Mickey:

Nisi:

Mickey:

Nisi:
Oh come on.
Mickey:
No, I just wanna know where we sleepin tonight!
Nisi:
I've been thinking, okay? About how we're gonna get up out of here.
Mickey:
What?
Nisi:
Don't act like you don't know, Mickey! The guilt! The guilt of what we're doing! Now, that man down there? He's a nice man. And he ain't got nothing around him but people trying to use him like you and me!
Mickey:
I know. Why do you think I got up and left?
Nisi:
[
Fiercely] We should have been done got up and left!
[
Pushes Mickey aside and sits on the bed]
Mickey:
[
Sits next to Nisi] D, dont you think we should at least say goodbye?
Nisi:
[
Quietly] We can't.
Mickey:
Why?
Nisi:
[
On the verge of tears] Because if I go to him and say we're leaving, he's going to ask "Why?" And then I'm gonna have to tell him and me and you have been a part of this whole big lie... I can't do it.
Mickey:
D, what are we going to do when we get off that plane? We ain't got no money, no apartment, nothing. Man, we're worse than when we started out.
Nisi:
Maybe... but maybe not. Some things are just priceless, you know, Mick?
Ali:
Nisi, I don't know if you want to stay here, or go home. All I know is that I've had one dream and one dream only since high school. And that's... that's to be with you.
