The Legend of Lizzie Borden

Adelaide Churchill:
Lizzie what's wrong?

Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Borden:
Oh Mrs Churchill, do come in. Someone has killed Father.

Emma Borden:
Lizzie, did you kill father?

Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Borden:
No, Emma, I did not.

Hosea Knowlton:
That woman actually believes she can get off scot-free by hiding behind her skirts.

Sylvia Knowlton:
What else has she? [he looks at her] I'm sorry, Hosea. It just seems that you men have only yourselves to blame if women hide behind their femininity as a last defense. After all, you cast us in this role.

Hosea Knowlton:
You look upon your womanhood as a role my dear?

Sylvia Knowlton:
It's not always a convenient part to play.

Hosea Knowlton:
I've never heard you talk like this. Next you'll be asking for the vote. I gather you sympathize with this murderess.

Sylvia Knowlton:
She has not as yet been found guilty, Hosea.

Hosea Knowlton:
But you do sympathize with her?

Sylvia Knowlton:
Certainly not with her deeds, but perhaps with her motives.

Hosea Knowlton:
[laughs] Her motives? Now what would you know about her motives?

Sylvia Knowlton:
I should think a great deal, Hosea. You have no idea how unbearably heavy these skirts can be at times.

Mrs. Abby Borden:
I'll not be cast out into the street to starve!

Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Borden:
She could live off her fat for years.

Maggie the maid:
Mean old skinflint!

Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Borden:
Watch your tongue!

Maggie the maid:
I've heard you say it plenty of times.

Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Borden:
But it's not your place.

Mr. Andrew Borden:
You're a strange girl, Lizzie, one minute as hard and as cold as a grave so, next as loving as any father could wish. Wonder what goes on in that mind of yours, I guess I'll never know.
