Serena Joy Waterford : [after more than two dozen other wives file in] As faithful servants, it is our duty to ensure that the children of Gilead live by the laws of Scripture. The Holy Scripture is a miracle. It is a gift given by Him to all of humanity. We believe... that our sons and daughters... should be taught to read it.
Warren Putnam : That is a radical proposal, Mrs. Waterford.
Serena Joy Waterford : Offered with the deepest respect. And the love that I have for my daughter, and for all the daughters in Gilead.
Fred Waterford : Thank you. We will certainly... discuss the matter seriously.
