Emily Leighton
- Senator Leighton: I don't know a judge in this district that will give you custody right now.
- Emily Leighton: You won't take my children.
- Senator Leighton: And how are you going to stop me? Can you afford an attorney?
- Emily Leighton: An attorney? To prove what? That I'm their mother? What will *your* judge say? That this is *your* house and *your* children? What am I to you, Tom, in your house? Chattel? This is how you punish me? I am their mother! They are not your children to take!
- Emily Leighton: I really don't follow politics, Ms. Burns. I haven't the head for it.
- Lucy Burns: We're citizens or we're chattle: you don't really need a degree from Harvard to figure that out.
