Quotes

Mark Tuello : Gilead blames the fertility crisis on women. On their sinfulness. We see the problem often originating with the men. Some of the best scientists in America have been working on fertility for years, and they've made some progress. Think of it: a baby of your own. And freedom.
Serena Joy Waterford : I have a baby on the way.
Mark Tuello : That's not your child.
Serena Joy Waterford : You don't know what you're talking about.
Mark Tuello : I'm sorry. I meant no offense.
Serena Joy Waterford : If you had done better research, you would know that I would never betray my country.
