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]
Sylvia Knowlton : 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.
