Nun: We don't smoke here.
Thomas: I don't give a damn.
Nun: We don't use foul language either.
Polly: We don't punish the innocent. You do.
Thomas: The Grace Shelby Foundation is the largest donor to this charitable institution dedicated to caring for orphaned girls in Birmingham, isn't it?
Nun: And we are grateful.
Thomas: Uh-huh.
Polly: My temper is similar to what is being reported here. The difference is that I hope they're my size.
Nun: What report?
Polly: The girls' testimonies.
Nun: Who have you been talking to?
Polly: Because of you, they'd only speak to God.
Nun: God will be your witness.
Thomas: There's God, and then there's the Peaky Blinders. Right now, we're much closer than God is.
Polly: We've heard terrible things...
Nun: We have girls from the lowest class here. They lie far too easily.
Polly: There's a mixed-race girl. You force her to use a different bar of soap.
Nun: Mr. Shelby, your sins are legendary.
Thomas: My sins...? Like beating innocent girls with bricks and your voice? My sins...? What about the Black girl who hanged herself because she was afraid of you, Mother?
Nun: I don't see how...
Thomas: You don't see?! Put on your glasses, or I'll break your eyes. And please don't think I won't do it right now. Your prayers and your crosses don't scare me.
Polly: See the world shattered, just as those girls will.
Thomas: Now look at me! Look at me! Look at me!
Funds withdrawn!
Polly: The girls will be transferred to our institutions.
