List of voters for the quote

[Dorothy Vaughan's 1957 Chevrolet has stalled out on the side of the road; a Virginia State Police cruiser drives up and stops, and a State Trooper gets out and looks at Mary, Dorothy and Katherine.] State Trooper: Not a great place for the three of y'all to be havin' car trouble. Mary Jackson: We didn't pick the place, Officer, it picked us. State Trooper: You bein' disrespectful? Mary Jackson: No, sir. State Trooper: You have identification on ya? Katherine: We sure do. We're just on our way to work. At Langley. NASA, sir. [Mary, Katherine and Dorothy all display their NASA ID cards.] Dorothy Vaughan: We do a great deal of the calculating getting our rockets into space. State Trooper: All three of ya? Mary Jackson: Yes, Officer. [The State Trooper studies Mary's ID card for a few moments.] State Trooper: NASA. That's somethin'. Had no idea they hired... Dorothy Vaughan: [Politely; the Trooper meant something else] There are quite a few women working in the Space Program, sir. [The State Trooper looks up at the sky suspiciously.] State Trooper: Damn Russians are watching us right now. Sputniks. [Turning his attention back] You girls ever meet those astronauts? The Mercury Seven? Mary Jackson: Absolutely. State Trooper: Alan Shepard? John Glenn? Katherine Johnson: We work with those gentlemen all the time. State Trooper: Those boys are the best we got. That's for sure. We have'ta get up there before the Commies do. Whole damn country's countin' on 'em. Dorothy Vaughan: That's for certain. Mary Jackson: Hard to be of service broken down on the side of the road, though. State Trooper: That's right. That's right. You need a tow or somethin'? Dorothy Vaughan: No, thank you, Officer. I think I got it, right here. Just have to bypass the starter. [Dorothy touches the screwdriver to between the battery poles; the car starts.] That's a girl. We're all set. State Trooper: Hell, least I can do is give you an escort. Imagine y'all are runnin' late. Katherine Johnson: Oh, we wouldn't want to trouble you- Mary Jackson: That would be wonderful, Officer. State Trooper: Follow me. [Cut to the State Trooper's cruiser flying down the road, lights and siren on, with Mary following close behind.] Dorothy Vaughan: Slow down, Mary! You're too close! Mary Jackson: He said to follow him. Dorothy Vaughan: Doesn't mean you hit him in the ass! Katherine Johnson: Dear Lord... please... I don't even know where to begin! Mary Jackson: I'll tell you where to begin: three "colored" women are chasing a white police officer down a highway in Hampton, Virginia, 1961. Ladies, that there is a God-ordained miracle!
