• Teddy Franklin : It's not gonna happen overnight, Angela. Um, legal briefs, proper investigation, hearings It could take months.

  Angela Vaughn : I need to think about this.

  Teddy Franklin : I'll wait until you make a decision. I can't give you back the years lost between us, but perhaps I can give Nikki a few years with her father.

• Angela Vaughn : 'Cause I wouldn't want to have to take out my Boston on you.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Oh. Yeah, please don't do that, because something tells me that your Boston would likely Likely beat my bougie ass.

  Angela Vaughn : Up and down the street.

• Angela Vaughn : You know, this is my life. This is my daughter's life. You don't get to just make decisions that affect us.

  Teddy Franklin : You know, I have offered you everything I could think of to earn your trust, including an apology. I should be able to do this for you as a father.

  Angela Vaughn : One apology doesn't erase years of abandonment. Neither does a family bracelet or a letter or your connections. You were never a father to me.
