All that mess you pulled with Mary.

All that stuff in the past is in the past.

All that's extra.

All the time.

All this pre op work takes longer

All those vitamin B12 shots?

All you did was help the courts keep us separated!

Almost as good as mine? Not quite?

Alone.

Along with instructions.

Along with instructions.

Already hating on each other. Especially...

Always 20 cents short of a quarter, trying to make change.

Always arguing.

Always happenin' to good people.

And before you were finished, what did you tell me?

And drove all the way down to Atlanta.

And Eva used to do hair in the Dominican Republic,

And even if they do,

And even though he's locked up right now,

And every single one of them went off without a hitch.

And every time you look in the mirror, guess what,

And everything she's been through is in her voice.

And Honda people are waiting outside.

And how do you suggest we do that?

And how should I handle Cotton?

And how'd you find me?

And I ain't having dinner without you.

And I ain't talking about them little sweet boys you got

And I ain't talking about those sweet boys

And I am not the one.

And I asked if you were sure

And I asked if you were sure you wanted

And I better not hear my name out your mouth.

And I can't even count how many times you screwed over Carlotta.

And I can't just leave.

And I can't wait to hug her again.

And I come from nothing, just like you, Star.

And I couldn't.

And I damn sure ain't letting him get away with this.

And I don't expect for you to,

And I don't know what happened. I just snapped.

And I don't know what to do.

And I don't really want to talk about it.

And I don't understand why you're so threatened by her anyway.

And I got to live with that.

And I guess I've just been burned

And I have more talent than you ever did

And I I've... no one's seen him since,

And I know how scared you were for the babies.

And I know that we've done some crazy things for music,

And I know them girls, they're gonna be a handful.

And I know you ain't think that y'all was about to win at that dump.

And I know you got somebody in your head

And I mean all of that.

And I need it for NextFest.

And I never feel it.

And I see $20,000 spent

And I shouldn't have, and I'm so...

And I think it's messed up

And I thought that I was a stunt queen.

And I tried to kill him.

And I want to just say it's an honor for me

And I will decorate these walls

And I will tell anyone who listens

And I wish I could say that I've been a great mother to you,

And I won't put up with any more of your

And I would do it again.

And I would never lie to you.

And I'd kill him again if his black ass was still alive.

And I'll just drop 'em off on my way.

And I'll make an appointment for you

And I'll pack it for you.

And I'm a wreck, and I really, really need to talk.

And I'm gonna fix whatever it is you messed up in him.

And I'm gonna fix whatever it is you messed up in him.

And I'm gonna keep my promise.

And I'm grateful Moses got me out, don't get me wrong,

And I'm headed to the drop. Next thing I know,

And I'm honored that they're performing for you tonight

And I'm hungry. So...

And I'm in. All right.

And I'm not about to watch it again.

And I'm not finna have a wannabe manager

And I'm not having it.

And I'm not her legal guardian?

And I'm not really feeling like I want to lose this thing.

And I'm not talking about Granddaddy.

And I'm not trying to sing one of her songs.

And I'm onto something big.

And I'm really worried. I It...

And I'm really worried. I It...

And I'm sorry about that, but you know I love you, right?

And I'm sure a lot of old white folks

And I'm telling you right now, the reaction to it,

And I'm trying to stop.

And I'm with my sister

And I'm... I'm so sorry.

And I've been good to you?

And if I want to kill myself, I will.

And if I want to sing a damn song, I'll sing a damn song.

And if nothing else happens, you've already won.

And if that isn't wanting to help, I don't know what is.

And if they did, the question is: why haven't they shared it?

And if we do good, he's gonna sign us.

And if you can't handle it, you need to tell me right now,

And if you ever try to put your hands on me again,

And into the dressing room? And I'll be right back.

And it is trending off the charts.

And it kills you, because... just like my mother...

And it went bananas.

And it would all be forgiven?

And it's big.

And it's got a Honda Stage, and it's the perfect venue

And it's not mutilation.

And it's not okay.

And it's only getting worse.

And it's this world that we live in!

And Jameson on the sidelines...

And just talk to us.

And killed it.

And let me do what I need to do.

And let me help you.

And let's win this competition.

And listen,

And look, crazy wigs and all.

And look, Star, this guy's a buddy of mine.

And loving spirit,

And make these police say her name.

And many other people, too, but what I'm trying to say

And maybe some reverb on the bass line, you know?

And more of a woman than you will ever get.

And my deposit of half.

And my ma, she handles all the money.

And my music don't?

And my music don't.

And my songs can leave.

And neither did you.

And nine months later a baby comes.

And nobody's gonna stop us.

And nobody's good enough for her boy.

And not just for you, but...

And not just using your daddy's name either.

And not take anything?

And now I might be losing 'em

And now I want it just as much as you do.

And now look what you're doing.

And now that you finished,

And now you resorted to children!

And now you're gonna come up in here,

And now you're gonna play me off for this weak ass

And now,

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for...

And now, to help in that effort,

And now?

And one count of aggravated assault

And only through prayer, I was led back to God.

And Pastor, of course, and all of us.

And personally,

And please tell that lazy ass nurse to bring me some food.

And protestin'.

And purge him of sin.

And put this Latina hottie in, though.

And real to me.

And right now, that's being with you.

And see if he can postpone the tour.

And she appreciates you for it.

And she died because of it,

And she has everyone wanting that.

And she knows both sides,

And she liked it.

And she likes to sit and blame it

And she still don't know?

And she will get over that.

And she worked her way through school.

And she's going to retrieve it.

And she's going to retrieve it.

And she's not going anywhere with you.

And she's not me.

And since when you started watching football?

And slouch a little bit... Slouch, slouch.

And so am I.

And so what? You didn't just jump now? Huh?

And Social Services took 'em.

And some people might think that's gross, but I like it.

And somebody did it.

And Star isn't?

And Star, she's just like Mary, you know?

And start thinking about yourself?

And stealing my damn car.

And still using my credit cards.

And stop being mean.

And stopped that bullet from blasting your brains out,

And tell Cotton to buy you something

And thank you for always taking care of me.

And thank you, Cott, for making us look hot.

And that I like to get high.

And that little side hustle you got,

And that niece of yours.

And that one right there,

And that shipment that you lost,

And that should amount to something.

And that side hustle.

And that whole born again thing.

And that will be kidnapping,

And that's how you feel, too?

And that's taking it to the streets.

And that's that.

And that's the part that confuses me because she's fire.

And that's why you're doing this,

And the 30! Hauled down...

And the and the vacations?

And the bitch speaks perfect English.

And the eternal hell for her kids?

And the life I never had?

And the loved ones of Danielle Jackson.

And the only person who's gonna save us is that manager.

And the Ponytail Sisters!

And the way we live in it.

And the winner is

And then bad things happen.

And then her true, ugly colors will come through.

And then I have my pre op visit today

And then I won't bother you no more.

And then I'm off to the hospital!

And then some.

And then what?

And then you can come in with...

And then you chose your pastor and your church

And then you just fell into place.

And then, here you come.

And they got something to say that y'all should hear.

And they're trying to convince her to go back to New York.

And things get crazy.

And those lyrics.

And to observe the 10:00 p.m. curfew.

And wait for it, her father

And walk right back out that door.

And we ain't gonna just pray, either.

And we can't afford to let anybody jeopardize that.

And we could tap into a whole new demographic.

And we don't play with baby mamas. You dig?

And we don't talk about this.

And we got to find her before she does something crazy.

And we have something coming up for you.

And we heard the music scene in Atlanta was crazy.

And we might be able to do some business later on,

And we need a new song, like, yesterday.

And we need to get in the studio.

And we will stay here

And we won.

And we'll rehearse with her when she gets here.

And we're a girl group.

And we're about to meet her at Derek's arraignment.

And we're not leaving this room till we get it right,

And we're singing Gladys Knight.

And what a battle it has been.

And what are you wearing?

And what kind of foster care you come from?

And what she can't buy, she'll steal.

And what was best for your baby

And what's gonna happen to me?

And whatever I decide...

And whatever plans you have, they better include her.

And when I come back in,

And when you do, you're gonna be wearing my clothes.

And while you're at it,

And who paid for that? Me.

And why would you do that?

And yeah, you're right.

And yes, you're part of the group.

And you all know he's a good boy.

And you are?

And you better believe,

And you blew it.

And you blew it. Mary with the drugs,

And you can sing.

And you can't get your foot in the door without us.

And you could get back to your life.

And you could've done it with a snap of a finger?

And you don't believe that either.

And you don't give a damn if people don't get it.

And you don't remember me,

And you felt sorry for her

And you got a big ass head.

And you got the touch, right,

And you have no regard for rules.

And you have to promise me that you're gonna be better than me.

And you just didn't feel like talking about it?

And you know

And you know how long I been doing it?

And you know I don't help things.

And you know it.

And you know what? I got a plan.

And you may come in with the most peaceful intentions,

And you need to stop chasing kids

And you never reported it to authorities?

And you played us.

And you protected my sister.

And you pull this one.

And you remember when my heel came off?

And you said exactly what you had to say.

And you smell like a bus station floor.

And you still can't trust me?

And you take your ass to work.

And you talking about backstage passes.

And you think you're the boss, dragging my ass

And you took it out of my hands and...

And you walk away without a scratch

And you want what?

And you want what... Free studio time?

And you wearing stolen clothes.

And you were right.

And you weren't even touched.

And you will, too, if you keep doing this.

And you won't even use it to help.

And you, gaining all that weight,

And you.

And you're guaranteed to win.

And you're heavier than I thought.

And you're pissed.

And you're right, there is something wrong with both of us.

And you're too young to have your hair like that anyway.

And you're using Simone and Star to do it.

And you're worried about your career?

And your crazy outweighs your talent.

And your dad?

And your gun.

And your wide eyed amazement, you little puppy dog.

And, Mama...

And, yeah, a little hurt.

And, yes,

And, yo, the lead girl,

And, you know, I'll get to see you more often.

And?

And...

And... everyone.

Ani what?

Another live performance

Another tanning booth, you mama's bitch!

Any history of psychiatric problems?

Any idea of where she got ahold of those drugs?

Any jackass can run up and down a field, toss a ball.

Any word from her?

Anybody could.

Anybody ready to get into some trouble tonight?

Anybody want a drink?

Anyone can see that. But she needs help.

Anyone working got a needle and thread?

Anything for Sister Jenkins,

Anything like it in your life.

Anything.

Anyway, are are you sure

Anyway, I'm gonna go to sleep.

Anyway, listen. Somebody actually posted a video

Anyway.

Apologize?

Apologize.

Are they answering yet?

Are they even trying to find the goons that crashed the rally?

Are we alone?

Are we cool?

Are we rehearsing?

Are y'all okay?

Are y'all ready to find out who the winner is?

Are you being serious right now?

Are you family?

Are you getting ready to go to church with me?

Are you gonna be all right?

Are you gonna get that?

Are you gonna let this gringa

Are you good?

Are you good?

Are you having a senior moment? Hunter, can you turn it down?

Are you in or not?

Are you insane?

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me?

Are you laughing?

Are you okay in there? You got morning sickness or something?

Are you out of your damn mind, huh?

Are you out of your damn mind?

Are you ready for number five?

Are you ready for number five?

Are you still bent up about the tape?

Are you still hooking?

Are you the mother?

Are you thinking about all of us?

Arlene, regardless of what you think,

Arlene, she's gotta be checked.

Arlene. She's out of control.

Arnold Brown,

As a person of interest in the murder of Otis Leecan.

As always, it's about you.

As big as you can get it.

As Danielle Jackson

As Deuteronomy 22:5 says:

As much as I trust anybody.

As much as I've done for you?

As much for me as it is for them.

As protesters rally outside

As soon as Simone left, he started in on them.

As usual.

ASAP.

Asian type girl.

Ask Carlotta.

Assailant's now in custody.

Assault with a deadly weapon,

At least a place to crash.

At least let me try.

At least you got a dad. Yo...

At least you had a house.

At rehearsal other day, he was telling us

At your home turns out to be the murder weapon.

At your home.

Be careful what you wish for, girl.

Be on that plane.

Be put on the side for our girl group,

Beautiful girls you got here, Carlotta.

Because a bunch of drunks at a barbecue told her she is.

Because I am done making myself small to fit into your world.

Because I believed in you.

Because I came out of you shining.

Because I can't...

Because I don't want her in this business.

Because I got a gut feeling about this, Lottie.

Because I love you.

Because I love you.

Because I think it fits your voice.

Because I think this would be a great texture for you.

Because I trust you.

Because life got just a little bit too hard for you.

Because no.

Because nobody's willing to stick up for nobody.

Because you belong to me, Simone.

Because you belong to me, Simone.

Because you deserve to be seen in a $3,000 dress.

Because you don't have any fun.

Because you the one always startin' mess.

Because you won't tell me

Because you'd knock over your mother
