Ebony quotes from The Tribe

Ebony

This is why I never let myself get close to anyone. You only end up getting hurt.

Ebony

Remember the eleventh commandment? Thou shalt not shoot thyself in the foot?

Ebony

Lex, I don’t think you’d recognize a stroke of luck if it jumped up and hit you in the face!

Ebony

[To Lex and Bray] You want me to list what our little rebellion has achieved so far? A few drums of petrol up in smoke, a few freed slaves, a hijacked puppet show! We’re just knits in their hair.

Ebony

[to Lex] Oh come on! How many medals for monogamy would you win?

Ebony

Bray, you're such a boy scout!

Ebony

Whoa, now you've totally lost me, are we talking about the Lex that would sell his granny if he had one?

Give it to me! Why do you wanna be a Locust?

Lex

You guys are the best outfit around, you cut it, you're really

Ebony

What? Really, what?

Lex

[Read a graffiti that says: "Locos are scandalous"] You're scandalous.

We're what? [Laughs]

[Laughter]

Lex

Get ready to run!

Get them! After them!

Ebony

So what are we waiting for?

Ryan

What do you mean? We? You’re not even a Mall Rat.

Ebony

Why do you call yourselves rats? Because you’re the first to leave the sinking ship?

Bray

Lex. You go with Tai-San.

Ebony

Why can’t I go with Lex. I think we’d make a good team.

Bray

Lex?

Lex

Whatever. [he leaves with Ebony]

Tai-San

Taking a risk?

Bray

She’ll be safe enough with Lex. Won’t she? [pause] You’re right. You go with them.

Tai-San

I was following the map.

Ebony

The map? Why? Did your spirit guide take the day off?

Tai-San

I wish your mouth had taken the day off.

Ebony

Control the antidote and we control the City. Maybe even the world. You and me.

Lex

I’d rather take a bath with a shark!

Dal

[talking about the antidote] There isn’t enough to go around the whole City anyway.

Jack

Well, that’s not a problem. I mean, if we have the formula, we can just cook up some more. [everyone is quiet] We do have the formula right? [pause] Somebody please tell me you’ve brought back the formula! Tai-San?

Tai-San

Sorry!

Jack

I’m surrounded by idiots!!

Dal

How could you come back without the formula?

Ebony

I guess we don’t all have your razor-sharp brain power.

Jack

Well, Dal. Let’s go get it ourselves. At least WE know what to look for!!

Dal

Right. [to Ebony] Dumb, dumb.

Alice has decided to be Tai-San’s bodyguard.

Ebony

We’ve already got guards.

And look what a great job they did. Our future depends on this girl and you let her be snatched from under your noses!

Lex

We’re not gonna let it happen again.

Alice

It’s right it won’t happen again, because I’ll be guarding her.

Ebony

Look, Alice. We really appreciate the offer, but …

Tai-San

I think it’s a great idea. Alice, you’re hired!

Alice

Get the cart, Lex. I’m guarding the lady.

Ebony

Sometimes I get the feeling that, no matter what I do, you’ll never change your opinion of me.

Bray

You know, never is a long time, Ebony.

Ebony

Yeah, I hope it’s not that long.
