The Legend of Lizzie Borden1975

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.
