One Night in Miami... - Reflections on Regret and Choices
Jim Brown:
Say man, do you have any regrets, you know, hitchin your cart to the Muslim train?
Jamaal:
Yeah, yes I think you could say I do.
Jim Brown:
Really.
Jamaal:
I regret that I didn't join when I was younger. This kid named Rollis used to chase me on the way home every damned day on the way. That's the reason I stopped goin'. I reckon if I'd've gotten with the bothers sooner, we could have nipped it in the bud and put our foot in Rollin's ass, know what I'm sayin'?
Jim Brown:
Yeah, but you don't need a religion for that. Kid, you could have just joined a gang.
Jamaal:
What's the difference?

The Invisible Man - Cecilia Discusses a Tragic Incident
James Lanier:
Hey, hey. You okay?
Cecilia Kass:
It's okay...
James Lanier:
You okay? What...
Cecilia Kass:
I'm okay. I'm okay. James, look at me. I'm okay. He killed himself. He cut his own throat. There's security camera video of it.
James Lanier:
You never did want to get him to admit anything on tape, did you?
Cecilia Kass:
Of course I did. I just didn't know he was that unstable.
Cecilia Kass:
You heard it, right? James? What'd it sound like to you?
James Lanier: [hesitates]
It sounded a lot like he killed himself.

The Invisible Man - Facing Fear and Control in Crisis
Cecilia Kass: [Emily comes to visit Cecilia at James's house]
This is not fair. I asked you not to come over. He knows where you live. He will follow you.
Emily Kass:
Yes, well, I have some news.
Cecilia Kass:
There is no news that justifies this. Okay I have a plan. And I just, I need you to go along with it, and just not being in control for one second.
Emily Kass:
I'm not trying to control you, boo. I'm desperately trying to tell you that you don't need to cut me off anymore. Because he's dead.
Cecilia Kass: [after finding out Adrian died from an apparent suicide]
What? It just doesn't make any sense. He was in complete control of everything, you know? Including me. He controlled how I looked, and what I wore, and what I ate. And then it was controlling when I left the house, and what I said. And eventually, what I thought. And if he didn't like what he assumed I was thinking, he would...
James Lanier:
He'd what? He would hit you?
Cecilia Kass:
Amongst other things. He wanted to have a baby. And I knew that if we did that, that I would never be able to get away from him. So I took birth control without him knowing it. But, um, that can only go on for so long, so I called you.
Emily Kass:
Hey. You are here with us now. And you're safe. He's gone.
