“Teresa: Aright. Water for me, and a little gin for you.

Teresa: [chuckles] Boy, please. I know Juan used to give you that gin, but we ain’t doing that up in here, Chiron.

[pause]

Teresa: You don’t think my joke was funny?

[pause]

Teresa: What’s wrong?

Chiron: Nothing. I’m good.

Teresa: No. I done seen good, and you ain’t it.

Teresa: Stop putting yo’ head down in my house! You know my rule. It’s all love and all pride in this house! Do you feel me?

[Chiron nods]

Teresa: [scoffs] I can’t hear you. Do you feel me?

Chiron: [quietly] Yeah.

Teresa: Okay.

Chiron: [firmly] I feel you.

Teresa: Aright.”
