I saw your mama last night.
Little:
I hate her.
Juan: [pause; pause]
I bet you do. Hated mine too. Miss her like hell now. All I'm gonna say about that.

Moonlight - Finding Your Own Identity
Juan: [imitates old lady voice]
I've been here a long time. I'm from Cuba. A lot of black folks in Cuba. You wouldn't know from being here now. I was a wild little shortie, man. Just like you. Running around with no shoes on, the moon was out. This one time, I run by this old... this old lady. I was running, hollerin'. Cuttin a fool, boy. This old lady, she stopped me. She said... "Running around, catching a lot of light". "In moonlight, black boys look blue". "You're blue". "That's what I'm gonna call you: Blue'.
Little:
Is your name Blue'?
Juan: [laughs; pause]
Nah. At some point, you gotta decide for yourself who you're going to be. Can't let nobody make that decision for you.

Moonlight - Understanding Identity and Labels
Little: [innocently]
What's a faggot?
Juan:
A faggot is... a word used to make gay people feel bad.
Little:
Am I a faggot?
Juan:
No. You're not a faggot. You can be gay, but you don't have to let nobody call you a faggot.
