  Agnes : [narrating]  I race the sun home in the morning, and the moon up at night. Anything can happen, and anything does. There's just today - and then there's tonight. And tonight is wonderful.

• Agnes : [narrating]  I left my mother and the man I thought loved me in that house. I left my mother and my rapist in that house. I left my mother and my mother's pimp in that house. Look at all the people it takes to make up a person. Ain't that nothin'?

• Agnes : Get in the car bitches!

• Agnes : [narrating]  He probably won't kill me. It ain't happened yet. But, it's like when people tell you that their dog doesn't bite. How do they know?

• Agnes : [narrating]  I remember when I was ten somebody gave me a diary for a present. But I felt like it was too late, so I didn't write in it. Too much had already happened. So, it wouldn't be the whole story. I feel that way again, and I'm fourteen. Nobody'd believe it. Ain't nobody to tell. A girl falls in the city, but nobody sees it. Did it happen?

• Agnes : Hey Bee, you coming back?

  Bee : You making breakfast?

  Agnes : I can make macaroni & cheese. Only we don't have any milk, or any butter.

  Bee : Orange water macaroni?

  Agnes : I found some Nacho Cheese Doritos, I can smash 'em up in the bowl with the water.

  1st 'John' : [seeing her come in]  Ah...

  Agnes : [narrating]  I race the sun home in the morning, and the moon up at night. There's just today, and then there's tonight. Anything can happen, then anything does. You get through it.
