The Handmaid's Tale, Season 1
Mrs. Castillo:
I heard you speak once, at a rally before the war. You were very passionate.
Serena Joy Waterford:
Women were abandoning their families and we needed to make a change. We were running out of time.
Mrs. Castillo:
You were arrested for inciting to riot, if I recall?
Serena Joy Waterford:
I had a temper in those days.
Mrs. Castillo:
Back then, did you ever imagine a society like this?
Serena Joy Waterford:
A society that has reduced its carbon emissions by 78% in three years?
Mrs. Castillo:
A society in which women can no longer read your book. Or anything else.
Serena Joy Waterford:
No. I didn't. God asks for sacrifices, Mrs. Castillo. That has always been His way, but He gives the righteous blessings in return. And I think that it's safe to say Gilead has been blessed in so many ways.
