Bianca Taylor-Creed: Dee, you have got to open up at some point, I don't know what else to tell you. I need to understand what is going on-
Adonis: [overlap at "I need to"] You don't need to. What you wanna hear? Some sad story? [stands up] You're trying to feel sorry for me or something?
Bianca: [stands up] No, I don't want to feel sorry for you. I want to understand you, I want to know what is going on with you in my house!
Adonis: [overlap at "in my house"] I don't want to talk about anything! [Bianca quiet] I've been trying to forget it! It's dead, leave it, leave it, let it lie! I'm talking about that shit no more. [suddenly sees Amara; it's implied she saw the exchange]
Bianca: [gasps] You figure out your shit, Dee, because what cannot happen is her seeing you like this. Do you understand? [leaves to tuck Amara to bed]
