Dialogue
"You need a bath." "Did I just...?" "It's like a cleansing bath, all right? It's a Voudon tradition. Cleanse away any evil spirits." "Okay, a bath. Isn't there something else we could do?" "I could hit you over the head, give you a concussion. Both open up the mind past the conscious, so you can walk in the Land of the Loa. Clears the spiritual sinuses, so to speak."

- Chantelle Fusilier, Tyrone Johnson and Evita Fusilier

Dialogue
"The future comes at us like a freight train. With as much empathy for our wellbeing as a locomotive would have." "There's no stopping what's coming at us? No slowing down the train?" "Energy builds, energy releases. There's no changing that. But once the wheel's turning..." "Only the Divine Pairing can stop it from crushing us all under it. Any idea as to when?" "It's hard to tell. But soon." "I mean, every disaster has a build up, right? They always talk about a point of no return." "There's always a point of no return, darling. It's called the end."

Dialogue
"Look, I'm trying to help. To fix things in any way I can. But everything I try, every time I try, I make it worse. I don't know what to do." "Perhaps you should pray on it." "Yeah. 'Cause that always works?" "Uh uh. Don't bring that narrow-minded nonsense up in here. What do you think happens when you pray? Who do you think you're praying to?" "Well, I don't know, that's the problem." " You have a wounded soul. All that you've been through. But if you let those wounds become scars, you're gonna look at yourself one day and not recognize what you see." "You think I don't know that? I'm trying. But I can't talk to my parents. My friends think I'm toxic. And Evita, I..." "God the universe, whatever you want to call it... The answers aren't out there, Tyrone. Not in your Adina Johnson, or your friends, or Evita, or me. All the power of the universe is in here. Prayer, when you do it right, is a way to quiet the mind. So your soul can be heard. The answers lie inside of you."

"I'm going to college, and then I'm going to medical school." "Child, that was just you being selfish." "Well, I'm allowed to be! Okay? All my life, they laughed at me for stinking up my purse with roots, giving those tours." "You were born with the sight. They chose you to be a voice, to guide people. Nothing else matters." "Don't I have a choice?" "You have all the choices, child. You always have. But only one will save your man."
