I want my money back. The money that your husband and his ten friends stole from me. With interest. A hundred and sixty million dollars over three years. That’s a lot of vig. And I want it all back.

That’s not what I thought you were gonna say.

If Beale Street Could Talk (2018), dir. Barry Jenkins

I’m tired of pretending like someone I’m not

Oh. Did you have a nightmare? I have nightmares, too. Someday I’ll explain it to you. Why they came, why they won’t ever go away. But I’ll tell you how I survive it. I make a list in my head of all the good things I’ve seen someone do. Every little thing I can remember. It’s like a game. I do it over and over. Gets a little tedious after all these years, but there are much worse games to play.
