  • Derek: Stepps ain't no square dance.
  • Sara: That's okay. I'll dance in circles, probably around you.
  • Derek: Do you get along with your dad? You tight and shit?
  • Sara: Yeah, we're tight and shit. Our DNA matches.
  • Derek: So was that a good night as in, "I'll bust a cap in your ass if you ever darken my doorstep again?"
  • Sara: No! No, I would never - um, bust a cap in your ass.
  • Derek: Ain't nobody watchin' you but me.
  • Sara: Screw you. I'm brilliant *and* cool.
  • Derek: You're not quite there yet.
  • Derek: You can do it. Sara, you were born to do it.
  • Sara: [from the trailer] What I want is to wake up and see my mom again.
  • [tearfully]
  • Sara: It was my stupid dream... and all she wanted was for it to come true.
  • Derek: [reassuringly] And I bet she would still want it to come true.
  • [about Malakai]
  • Sara: So you're not down with the things he does, but you're still down with him? That makes perfect sense. I understand.
  • Derek: He's my friend, Sara. You don't have to understand.
  • Sara: A lot of people read them.
  • Derek: People like who? Like you?
  • [pause]
  • Derek: Didn't think so.
  • Derek: Come on, act like you a nasty bitch.
  • Derek: Let's put some S-E-X in those H-I-Ps!
