Lizzie quotes from Lincoln Heights

Lizzie

(about Boa) He says that my letters are what's keeping him alive. I know I should listen to what my dad says, but if all it takes is a letter to help someone, isn't it wrong not to write it?

Yeah, two blocks over on Wyoming.

Lizzie

You go to Powell?

Yeah.

Lizzie

You'd you have for English?

Ms. Lawheed.

Lizzie

(scoffs) She's mean. She once failed me on a spelling test because I used pencil instead of pen.

(laughs) Man, that's cold.

Lizzie

Um, can I have something to drink, my throat's all dry?

(to Boa) Get her something to drink.

You got a beer or something?

What's the matter with you? Get her a soda.

Lizzie

Do you have root beer?

Shut up! This ain't no 7-11.

Lizzie

What are going to do to me?

Nothing if you cooperate.

Lizzie

Cooperate how?

Do what we say and don't make trouble.

We going to sell you back to your family.

Lizzie

I thought you were going to ask Jessie P?

She can't sing as good as me and I have a karaoke machine.

She won the eighth grade talent contest.

Lizzie

Yeah, but, Wanda, you got me into serious trouble shoplifting. My sister lost her job.

I'm sorry about that, but didn't you get my e-mails? I said I was sorry 50 times. (singing) So can we be friends?

Taylor

Is he crazy?

Lizzie

It wasn't his idea to kidnap me. It was his partner's.

Taylor

You can't write to him Lizzie. I mean do you want us to be homeless? I mean if Dad finds out that Boa wrote you and you wrote him back, Dad will kill him, Lizzie. Then Dad will go to jail, Mom will be mad, we'll be sad, we'll end up on the streets broke and homeless because of you.

Lizzie

Nothing's up, quit riding me!

Eddie

What did you say? (to Cassie) What in the hell's going on? You're home late; your sister's talking back.

Cassie

Don't look at me, Tay's the one wearing makeup.

Jenn

(to Lizzie about The Wiz) You want me to watch it with you? I know the words to the songs.

Lizzie

Uh… no thanks, Mom, I've heard you sing. You're no Diana Ross.

Cassie

Your eggs are on the stove.

Lizzie

And the toast is ready, and the coffee's hot.

Eddie

Okay, what'd you guys do with our kids?
