Quotes[]
- Benny: There's hope. Sometimes hope is all you get. Ugh. With all the crap these kids can get into on the streets -- alcohol, drugs, prostitution, pornography! Sometimes all four at once!
- George: Thanks for bringing by the hope!
- Angie: I'm sure Carmen will be home soon.
- George: Angie, how do you know?
- Angie: Because.... maybe her pimp will give her off for Thanksgiving? [breaks down in tears]
- ----
- Vic: I'm here to help. Let's do it!
- Woman: Are you putting pictures of Carmen Lopez?
- George: Yeah, do you know where she is?
- Woman: She's in the hotel.
- George: Thank you, thank you so much. It's she okay?
- Woman: Just fine. I don't think how much longer she's been there.
- George: She's in the suite.
- George: When did I become worse than my mother?
- Ernie: What are you talking about?
- George: I grew up with my mom and I never ran away!
- Ernie: Maybe that's cause living with Benny was like being out on the street. There was no heat, no food, and you were getting hit by a woman drinking booze out of a paper bag.
- George: When I was three, I drank my sippy cup out of a paper bag. I thought that's just how people drink things.
- George: You're not going out tonight.
- Carmen: I get it, it's too soon. I'll just go to bed, but things are different. I'm different, I partied with Chingy, and I shared a sandwich with a homeless guy. I've done it all. So no more curfews, no more rules. I'm an adult. [approaches her parents] George, Angie, tomorrow night, I'm going out.
- Angie: (about Carmen) Did she just call me Angie?
- George: (to Angie) She's right, things are different. They're worse.
