It feels like you're a different person when you're in Hamilton. I'm not sure you know who you are yet.
Now you sound exactly like my father.
Elizabeth, the woman that pumped water on that homestead is not the same person who has a servant set out clothes for her everyday.
Jack! Can't you see it's all part of me?! I enjoyed living on the homestead. And I enjoy living in a big house in Hamilton. You just won't accept me for who I am.
You got that backwards.
You really believe that?
...
This isn't about wanting you to be something you're not. And this isn't about wanting you to fit into Hamilton. And this isn't about the fact that we come from two different worlds.
Then what's it about?
Jack, do you remember when you told me that Mounties don't get married? That if they wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one? I think they might be right. When I saw that man point that gun at you, it was like I couldn't breathe. It was like my whole world was in slow motion. What if he'd shot you?
He didn't.
Not this time. It scared me, Jack. It scares me to think that one day you might not come home. That what happened to your father could happen to you. I need to be able to sleep at night knowing you're safe.
I will be safe.
You can't guarantee that.
No one can. But I'm good at what I do. And I'm not afraid to face my fears.
And I would never want to change that about you.
That right there? You saying that? That means the world to me.
But Jack, I don't know if I'm brave enough to spend my life with someone as brave as you.
