I am not sure why the girl used be rather than are:
(The context
Mr.A: Let's have a chat.
The girl: Only you be nice.
Did the girl mean "if only you will be nice to me"? I'm not sure whether the girl is a native English speaker. My intuition simply told me that she used be correctly.
My question is, does the grammar "you be" convey the future tense of the verb be if the grammar of "you be" is correct?
Another example is:
Winner take it all.
Does it refer to:
Winner (will) take it all?
Because in present tense, it should have been:
Winner takes it all.
