Quotes
-
Rebecca James : Dr. Ogden has told me that you are a Catholic.
Detective William Murdoch : Yes.
Rebecca James : Catholics face some measure of prejudice in our world. Quite unfairly, I imagine.
Detective William Murdoch : One difference, I suppose, is that people can't tell that I'm a Catholic just by looking at me.
Rebecca James : What do you do when you encounter such treatment, detective?
Detective William Murdoch : I know the truth about myself, Miss James, and I know that no matter what someone might say or think about me, I must be the strongest and the best version of myself that I can possibly be.
Rebecca James : So go along to get along?
Detective William Murdoch : No. No. Simply be *better* than anyone who might hate you.

Maitre D' : [he sighs] We have no tables.
Nate Desmond : Look. Right there.
Rebecca James : Table for two. We are not going away, sir.
[Nate and Miss James walk over to the table and seat themselves]
Maitre D' : You will not be served.
Rebecca James : Then we'll be sitting here all night.

Nate Desmond : You need to think about your own people. Whose side are you on?
Rebecca James : Whose side an I on? My skin is as black as yours, Nate Desmond. I know who I am; I don't ever get a chance to forget it. I don't need to prove anything to you, and I certainly don't socialize with men who lie to me.

Rebecca James : You must be Mrs. Thomson.
Gloria Thomson : If you could, wouldn't you do the same?
Rebecca James : I never wanted to be white.
Gloria Thomson : I didn't want to be *white*. I just wanted to be free.
