Quotes 

• Catherine Chandler : [referring to Vincent]  Father, I just want you to know. I would never hurt him. I love him.

  Father : I know. I also know it can only bring him unhappiness.

  Catherine Chandler : Why do you say that?

  Father : Because part of him is a man.

• Catherine Chandler : Can I get you anything?

  Father : No. Please stay out of it. You must. Anything you do to draw attention to me can only...

  Catherine Chandler : You are being charged with murder. You must tell me everything that happened.

  [Father is reluctant to say anything] 

  Catherine Chandler : Don't you know by now that you can trust me?

  Father : It's not that. I may be a stranger to your world, but I am no stranger to the betrayals of your judicial system.

  Catherine Chandler : I am the only one who can help you.

  Father : If you really want to help me, please... go away.

  Catherine Chandler : I can't do that.

• Father : Vincent, I've... I've never lied to you. The things I've taught you about the world above, so much was to protect you. And it was also to help me to forget... forget a world I once loved.

  Vincent : I've... always sensed that.

  Father : I have kept certain things from you... about my life before.

  Vincent : Father, what are you trying to tell me?

  Father : I have to return. I have to go above.

  Vincent : When will you go?

  Father : As soon as I prepare myself. I'll be back this evening. When I return, we'll talk.
