Naomi and Violet in “War”

Naomi

Okay, I'm going to give you five minutes. You've got five minutes to sulk about what everybody said about you in there. You've got five minutes to cry and scream and to call them every bad name in the book. [Violet tries to interrupt] And then when those five minutes are up, you're going to walk back into that courtroom and you're going to fight for your son.

Violet

I can't...

Naomi

I'm sorry, but the clock is ticking.

Violet

I can't. Damn it, Naomi. You know, maybe he's better off without me, okay? Maybe I am a terrible mother.

Naomi

Wait, that does not mean that you quit! Yes, there will be times when you let your child down, there will be times when you do the wrong thing, there will be times when you are a horrible mother, but that does not mean that you quit. It means that you fight harder. That's what I should have done. So, go back in there and fight. Fight for the both of us.
