Baby's First Words: Tracy figures out how to say "bye-bye" about halfway through the movie. After that, she uses it for every situation.

Gene Hunting: Earl tells Loretta the story of Sinclair ancestor Jesse, who was born into slavery, and whose father was auctioned off when he was six. After the Civil War, he tried to track down his father, but never found so much as a clue. Eventually he gave up, started a new family, and dedicated himself to keeping that one together.

NEET: Rosa wants Loretta to find gainful employment, but nobody's hiring. Early in the movie she tries to get a job as a cashier, but she's rejected for her lack of mathematical ability, which would be a problem if the machines broke down.
