From Grey’s Anatomy: Season 14 Episode 10: ‘Personal Jesus’ (14×10)
Miranda Bailey: 12 years old. In his own house. It's time to give Tuck the talk.
Ben Warren: I know.
(Later that day...)
Tuck: I am William George Bailey Jones. I'm 13 years old. And I have nothing to harm you.
Miranda Bailey: That's good, baby. You always have to show the police where your hands are. And always say what you're doing before you do it.
Ben Warren: Be in control of your emotions. Be polite and... and respectful.
Miranda Bailey: Yeah, don't fight back. Don't talk back. Do not make any sudden movements. Remember, your only goal is to get home safely.
Ben Warren: If you get detained, don't sign anything or... or write anything. Wait for a parent before you talk.
Miranda Bailey: And if your white friends are saying things or mouthing off, know that you cannot. You can't go climbing through windows, play with toy guns, throw rocks. And you cannot ever run away from them, no matter how afraid you are.
Ben Warren: Never, never... never run.
Miranda Bailey: Everything that we're saying to you we're saying because we want you to come home again. We want you to grow up to be anything and everything that you want to be. Do you hear me? You... are amazing. You are perfect. And we want you to stay that way.
