- 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.

- Rebecca James: I'm a lucky man; you're giving me a second chance.
- 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.
- Chief Constable Davis: [as they start fingerprinting] All right, men, let's get good, clean marks. Record names, addresses, age and occupation on every card while you're at it.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Everything's under control, sir.
- Chief Constable Davis: Save these cards, Tom; they'll come in handy. If not for this case, then the next.
- Isaac Lowry: All we did today was come to church. Now we're suspects in crimes that haven't even happened yet.
- 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.

- Pastor Solomon Earle: I willingly boast of my weakness that the power of Christ may rest upon me, the Book tells us in Second Corinthians. Do we hide our hurt from the Lord?
- Congregation Members: [murmured] No.
- Pastor Solomon Earle: No. For how can we hope to hide our true selves and hope to find redemption and reparation?.
- Congregation Members: Amen.
- Pastor Solomon Earle: Who among us has not been hurt? Who has not been mistreated, but in our darkest hours we discover strength in Jesus?
- Congregation Members: Yes, yes.
- [applause]
- Pastor Solomon Earle: Our guest today reminds us of a past in which we were mistreated, and though we may wish to forget that past, we're reminded to boast. Boast that in our hardships we found strength in our Lord. Boast that in times of need we found friends, like our friend, Mr. Frank Parker.
- 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.
- Constable George Crabtree: Holy heart of Mary! Uh sir, there's a family of raccoons in there!
- Detective William Murdoch: Would you prefer if I searched that area, George?
- Constable George Crabtree: Sir, I - I don't like raccoons. I don't like their little feet. I don't trust anything that has hands for feet.
