Mother Miriam Ruth: Undoubtedly. Not the ascetics, of course, but, well, St. Thomas More.
Martha: Long, thin, and filtered!

Martha: Agnes, it's all right. I love you.
Sister Agnes: As much as Mother Miriam loves me?
Martha: As much as God loves you.

Eve: Nobody is interested in sending a nun to prison.
Leveau: We're not telling you what to decide Martha. We're not even telling you to take this.
Lyon: Is there any reason why you feel you shouldn't take it?
[Martha pauses for a long moment at the window, then turns]
Martha: Today's my birthday. I always make bad decisions on my birthday.
