Quotes
-
Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims : He said he was going to kill you!
Rene Jackson : So what else is new?
Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims : He is crazy, Rene, just crazy, just take a gun off the wall and go kill people crazy.
Rene Jackson : I'm not afraid of your uncle, M.E.
Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims : Well I am.

Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims : Oh I get it, it's okay for her to hate me because I'm white but it's not okay for me to hate her because she's black!
Rene Jackson : It's not okay but you probably haven't been hurt as much as she has. I've been there, mad at the world. Why was that saleswoman rude to me, because I'm black? Why did that clerk wait on that person first and not me, because I'm black? Is this guy looking at me because I'm a black woman driving a Mercedes or because he's just a jerk having a bad day.
Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims : He's just a jerk having a bad day. You want to rock his world? Kiss me.
Rene Jackson : [pause] No tongue.

Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims : So we told Kelly if she wants her own car, she's going to have to get a job, which I think put that issue to bed because that would mean precious time away from Jason.
Rene Jackson : He seems like a nice kid.
Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims : So did the Menendez boys.

Rene Jackson : Okay, look, yes, you and I can both experience sexism, when was the last time you experienced racism? Hm? And it's not just white hoods and Nazis and skinheads, it's the subtle stuff, stuff you don't even think about that happens every day, like the butter!
Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims : Here you go again with the damn butter!
