Warren Putnam : How can we help you?

Fred Waterford : We?
Serena Joy Waterford : [after more than two dozen other wives file in] As faithful servants, it is our duty to ensure that the children of Gilead live by the laws of Scripture.

Warren Putnam : That is a radical proposal, Mrs. Waterford.
Serena Joy Waterford : Offered with the deepest respect. And the love that I have for my daughter, and for all the daughters in Gilead.
Fred Waterford : Thank you. We will certainly... discuss the matter seriously.
