- Bridget Sullivan: What was I to you? I don't know who you are.
- Lizzie Borden: Were you better off before? Is that it?
- Marshall Hilliard: To your knowledge, did your father have any enemies? Shall I repeat the question?
- Lizzie Borden: No, I heard you.
- Marshall Hilliard: Please answer.
- Lizzie Borden: This is America, sir. Every man with a pulse has enemies.
- Andrew Borden: This attachment you've formed is unhealthy, and it must end. Please don't force me to put it any more bluntly than that.
- Lizzie Borden: Say exactly what you mean. I want to hear you say it.
- Andrew Borden: You're an abomination, Lizzie.
- Lizzie Borden: And at last, we are on equal footing, father.
- John Morse: I'm going to find that will. And you're gonna get nothing.
- Lizzie Borden: But I already have it all. And money can buy many things, John. As you know, a hungry man is capable of anything.
- Abby Borden: It really is difficult to harbor sympathy for someone who will not make even the slightest effort to help herself.
- Lizzie Borden: Love alters not with brief hours and weeks, but bears it out... Let me not to the marriage of true mind's impme... impediments...
- Bridget Sullivan: You're dreaming. You're just dreaming. You don't see it. You can't see it.
- Lizzie Borden: See what?
- Bridget Sullivan: We live in this world, and not another. This one right here.
- Lizzie Borden: I know.
- Lizzie Borden: Have you had schooling?
- Bridget Sullivan: Some.
- Lizzie Borden: How much is some?
- Bridget Sullivan: Couple years.
- Lizzie Borden: Are you afraid?
- Bridget Sullivan: Afraid? Of what?
- Lizzie Borden: Men don't have to know things, Bridget. Women do.
- Emma Borden: Andrew Jennings is Father's attorney, and he knows nothing of a will.
- John Morse: There must be another attorney. An estate attorney.
- Emma Borden: Well, I find that hard to imagine. You knew Father. Probably thought he'd live forever. I suppose that's a mistake we all make now, isn't it?
