Alanna Ubach: April

Quotes 

• Diana Moffitt : [complaining about being confronted by her mother]  God! Can you believe it? This is the most embarrassing moment of my life. I just felt like this little girl again.

  April : Oh, boy!

  Diana Moffitt : [as she sees her mother enter the dressing room]  April, this is my...

  April : [as she leaves the dressing room]  Chance to leave. Nice meeting you Mrs. Moffitt.

• April : [stops by to visit Diana]  Hi, Mrs. Moffitt.

  Gayle Moffitt : Oh, hi!

  April : I don't know if you remember me.

  Gayle Moffitt : Oh, how can I forget that evening? Diana talks about you all the time. How are you?

  April : I'm OK. Is Diana here? We were supposed to see each other last night.

  Gayle Moffitt : Well, unfortunately, we just had a big fight last night and she went back to AJ.

  April : You're kidding.

  Gayle Moffitt : Nope! Sorry, I wish I was.

  April : He had her work on Union Street at the break of dawn.

  Gayle Moffitt : Union Street?

  April : Yeah, it's 2 bocks from down there. I told her just stick with the escort service.

  Gayle Moffitt : Escort service?

  April : She told me you knew.

  Gayle Moffitt : I knew what?

  April : AJ is Diana's pimp. I'm sorry, I really thought you knew.

• Gayle Moffitt : April?

  April : Please, Mrs. Moffitt, I know what you're thinking.

  Gayle Moffitt : No, you don't! Because all my thinking right now is very confused.

  April : Well, AJ made bail this morning when I found out I was just too scared to leave my apartment.

  Gayle Moffitt : So, that's why you're out here with a broken arm?

  April : I had to show him I had come to my senses.

  Gayle Moffitt : Look, AJ once begged Diana to drop the assault charges she filed against him. So I know how persuasive he can be.

  April : He's not just persuasive. He's dangerous.

  Gayle Moffitt : I know that too. But do you know why he's so dangerous? Because girls like you and Diana give him so much power. April, you can't give up. You just can't. I once told Diana that if she ever went back to AJ, that she could never come back home again. And you know something? She never did. Don't let that happen to you please.

  April : It's just that I don't think I'm strong enough to make it on my own just now.

  Gayle Moffitt : Filing the charges against AJ took a lot of strength. April, you've got the strength. The real question is; Do you have the courage to use it? Do you?
