Fruitvale Station quotes

  • Wanda: Heavenly Father, we kneel before you and ask you to put healing hands around your child. We ask you, dear Lord, to operate through these doctors. Breathe strength into their hands, Lord, as they work on him. We're asking you right now to heal him. Oh, heal him, dear Lord, so we can hold him and see his smile again. In your name, we pray. Amen.

  • Sophina: Wanda, they shot Oscar. They say he's alive, but his eyes was closed. They're taking him to Highland. You gotta come get us right now.

    Wanda: I'm on my way.

    Sophina: [hanging up] Oh, fuck.
