Chiron quotes from Moonlight (2016)

Aright. Water for me, and a little gin for you. [chuckles] Boy please. I know Juan used to give you that gin, but we ain't doing that up in here Chiron. [pause] You don't think my joke was funny? [pause] What's wrong?

Chiron

Nothing. I'm good.

No. I done seen good, and you ain't it. Stop putting yo' head down in my house! You know my rule. It's all love and all pride in this house! Do you feel me?

I can't hear you. Do you feel me?

Chiron

Yeah.

Okay.

Chiron

I feel you.

Aright.

Paula

Where did you go last night?

Chiron

Paula

Well, I'm your mama, ain't I?

Paula

Chiron

For what?

Paula

That's my business! Don't you ask me no shit like that!

Chiron

I don't have any money.

Paula

No, no, don't lie to me boy! I'm your mama! That bitch over there ain't no kin yeah? I'm your blood! Remember? [pause] I ain't feeling good. I need something to help me out. [sobbing] Come on baby. Come on baby.

What you cry about?

Chiron

I should have cried too much. Sometimes I feel like I'm just gonna turn into drops.

But you just roll out into the water, right? Roll out into the water just like all these rambo-****ers trying to drown their sorrow.
