If Beale Street Could Talk - Confrontation Over Family Dynamics
Adrienne Hunt:
Mr. Rivers, what exactly is the purpose of this meeting? You didn't call us all the way over here just to watch my father insult my mother?
Tish Rivers:
Why not? It's Saturday night. Can't tell what folks won't do if they get bored enough. Maybe we just invited you over to liven things up.
Adrienne Hunt:
I can believe you're that malicious, but I cannot believe you're that stupid.

I know some hustles, and you know some hustles. And these are our children. We gotta set them free. So let's drink on up, man, and let's go on in. We got a whole lot of shit to deal with in a hurry.
Mrs. Hunt:
I guess you call your lustful action love. I don't. I always knew you'd be the destruction of my son. The Bible says, "Put to death therefore all that is earthly in you. Sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, covetousness." That child was born of sin, and the Holy Ghost is gon cause it to shrivel in your womb.
Adrienne Hunt:
