This scene is iconic and pivotal. I transcribed the dialogue and will leave it in the comments. I'm sure many of you will find it great too.

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Funds withdrawn!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.

(End)
