Mabel: I got a phone call this evening from a solicitor in California. He said the strangest thing. He told me my birth mother had died. So, is it true?
Mr. Martin: Mabel, please. Must we really do this now?
Mabel: Yes, we must.

Mabel: My hair, you always told me that that was the Sicilian in me, from Nana, and my skin and my bone structure.
Mrs. Martin: Well, you were lucky you got the beauty genes in the family.

Steve: Have you ever worn your hair any other way?
Benny: Like how?
Steve: I don't know, more feminine.

How could ma have had Bunny in her life? How could she have gone through so much with her and let Dad be so judgmental with me?

Benny

We may not be able to go back, but we can go forward together. Marry me, Covey, and I promise you that you'll never carry your secrets alone.

Gibbs

I walked away from my father, and my mother walked away from me. Betrayal is a powerful thing, and I'd rather suffer in silence than risk losing our children.

Eleanor

Gibbs: have you thought of me?
Covey: Gibbs, thinking of you has been my escape, a reminder of who I was, who I am; you're my one and only. You always will be.

I wish I had the courage to share with you sooner because it's what all three of my children deserve.

Eleanor

I wish now that I had listened to your father. Maybe if I had shared my secrets, Benny, it could've brought us closer. Maybe it would've kept you away from flying away that Thanksgiving.

Eleanor Voiceover

You have the biggest heart; it's the thing I love most about you.

Covey

Bunny: He's not my type either.
Covey: Then who is?
Bunny: I don't know.
Covey: Yes, you do. Tell me. Tell me.
Bunny: You. Okay? I like you.
Covey: Yeah, well, I know that.
Bunny: Do you?
Covey: You can't say that. Bunny, you know rumors can get people killed. It's dangerous.
Bunny: It doesn't change; that is who I am.
Covey: I'm not asking you to change.
Bunny: No, you're asking me to hide.
Covey: For your own safety.

Benny: You are a great listener.
Charles: I'm a lawyer. It's my job.
Benny: Is that all this is to you? A job?

Black Cake Quotes

I will never forget when it happened, the look on my father's face when he had realized what he had done. He had sold his little girl.

Eleanor

Eleanor is not my real name, B and B. There are people who have spent their entire lives wondering what happened to the girl I used to be. And when this is over, after you have heard the truth in full, I want you to find those people and tell them.
