Dad: *looks at the waiter* yes and mimosas for all the adults, please?
Ivory: You're coming to the party tonight, right dad?

Ivory: Like a date?
Dad: No, not like a date.
Waiter: *sits our drinks down* *leaves*
Dad: Syd has this dinner for the department that she invited us to.

Ivory: True
Jackson: I wanna say something real quick.
Everybody: *looks at Jackson*
Jackson: I just wanna thank all of y'all for really being the family I've never had. I didn't get to grow up with this kind of love or ever celebrate my birthday. Ivory you've changed my life in ways I never thought were possible. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms and treating me like family. I love y'all.

Everybody: *holds their glass up* *drinks*
