This world was built on the foundation of fairness and respect for all. No, we do not renounce violence all together. If we are attacked, we will fight to protect our home, but we will never instigate that violence! And I will not allow this community to be dragged down to that level!
We've tried diplomacy and look where that got us. Now is the time for action...Our strength is in our numbers. We could overwhelm them. Drive them out.
That is who I am...perhaps even my fate. The very part of me that I struggle to overcome gives me the power to protect the people who protect me-who give me life.
[to Catherine about the gun] We need a way to...to discourage these people from further violence. We cannot allow them to control our lives with fear...I pray it will never be used as anything more than a threat. But perhaps that threat will keep him and us safe.
[voiceover] That night, she truly walked alone. And deep within me I felt the cold and terrible truth of all that kept us apart. Fate had left me adrift, with no wind to carry me to the safe shores of her love.
Something he did when I was little. He made me laugh, that's all. Whenever I was upset he'd make me laugh. He'd come to the door and I would be...crying on the bed. Already a part of me would start to smile. I would try not to, but I couldn't help it. And he would say in this deep voice, "Don't laugh...Don't laugh." And he would come in and I would try not to look, but I would look anyway...And there he was, with this enormous red clown's nose. I don't even know where he got it.
[to her father] You see...I haven't been alone. There's been someone in my life. His name is Vincent...When I had the accident, it was Vincent who saved my life. Those days that I was missing, they weren't lost or forgotten. I was with him. Healing. Learning things about myself I might never have known. But Vincent was a secret I couldn't share...not even with you.
[to Catherine's father] I realize that to you I am a stranger, and that was not your choice. But what Catherine and I share has taken great courage, especially for Catherine. She sacrificed much in order to live a life of generosity and of love.
Catherine...every moment that we share is a triumph and a gift. And everyone of those moments is a lifetime complete. There is no failure. It doesn't mean our dream can never be. It just means now is not the right time. You came here to grieve, and begin to heal. But now your destiny is to be in both worlds. You are a woman of both worlds. That is who you are.
