Quotes 

• Father : She can only bring you unhappiness.

  Vincent : Then I'll be unhappy!

• Father : Is she awake?

  Vincent : Yes. She's very frightened.

  Father : How could you bring a stranger down here? To where we live! You ignored our most important rule.

  Vincent : I know that. But there was no other way.

  Father : Do you know what they'd do if they caught you up there? Or found you down here? They'd kill you. Or put you behind bars and make you wish you were dead. How could you?

  Vincent : How could I have turned my back on her, and left her there?

• Father : [to Vincent]  You know, you have the soul of a doctor. When I studied medicine, they wouldn't admit minorities. Wonder what they would have done with you? Let's not even think about it.
