Alice Paul: I found someone who designs parade floats. Lucy Burns: Whoa, I thought we were going to keep this small. Alice Paul: Why? Lucy Burns: Because you've never organized a parade before. Neither have I. It's not like giving a dinner party. Alice Paul: Have you ever given a dinner party? Lucy Burns: No. Alice Paul: Then what are you worried about?

Alice Paul: We're legitimate citizens. We're tax without representation. We're not allowed to serve on juries so we're not tried by our peers. It's unconscionable, not to mention unconstitutional. We don't make the laws but we have to obey them like children.

Can you afford an attorney? Emily Leighton: An attorney? To prove what? That I'm their mother? What will your judge say? That this is your house and your children? What am I to you Tom in your house? Chattel? This is how you punish me? I am their mother! They are not your children to take!

Alice Paul: I was put in a straight jacket and taken to the psychopathic ward. I could not see my family or friends, council was denied me. I saw no other prisoners and heard nothing of them. I could see no papers. Today I was force fed for the third time, I refuse to open my mouth. My left nostril, throat, and muscles of my neck are very sore. I vomit continuously during the process.
