Slim : When I was little, I asked my mom where babies come from. She said I was too young to know. Then I asked my dad. And he said, Babies are a product of two people that needed something from each other. So I said, Needed what? He said, Maybe they needed to feel seen. Maybe they needed to feel loved. Maybe they needed to feel human.
Queen : And then what?
Slim : Then I asked my grandmother. She said babies come from God. They're his way of making sure no one ever really dies. I remember her saying, Through our children, we are reborn. Then I went to my older brother and I asked him. And he said, Nobody knows. You're just born. That's it. Now, leave me alone. I wasn't satisfied with that answer either, but I ran out of family members to ask. So he got the last word.
Queen : So, who was right?
Slim : None of 'em. Babies come from fucking. Plain and simple.

Slim : Are you tryin' to die?
Queen : No. I just always wanted to do that.
Slim : Well, don't do it while I'm drivin'
Queen : You should try it.
Slim : Nah, I'm good.
Queen : Pull over.
Slim : Na-ah.
Queen : Come on! Pull over. Pull over!
Slim : If I do, would you please, let me drive the rest of the way it is?
Queen : Swear to God.
Slim : Strong something you believe in.
Queen : OK, fine. I swear on you.
