Full Script
Atticus Freeman: The monsters in these books aren't the scariest things we face.
Letitia Lewis: At least with monsters, you know what you're fighting.
Atticus Freeman: Do we? Half the time, I don't know which is worse - the magic or the racism.
Letitia Lewis: The racism's been around longer. It's had more practice.
Atticus Freeman: But magic... magic can fight back.
Letitia Lewis: So can we. We've been doing it our whole lives.
Atticus Freeman: Not like this. Not with actual power.
Letitia Lewis: Baby, we've always had power. We just never knew how to use it.
