Underground Quotes
Tell Noah to find me.
Rosalee
Rosalee: My father was weak. Everything he done was out of fear, and there you were right, I am like him because ever since I felt this baby, everything I done has been out of fear. But I couldn't let myself feel weak, not before I had to be the strongest I ever has to be in my life and now that same fear is screaming at me, telling me don't let you go, make you stay; keep you safe. See, I know that's selfish. How do I let that fear go?
Noah: You don't; just can't let it twist into something bad. It weighs you down, makes you feel small so you stop fighting.
Harriet's a good start, but tonight we'll go down in history.Tonight I'm going to make sure that the legend of Patty Cannon never dies; that the name goes down for years.
Cato
Not so long ago, I was where you is right now...when you realize you been dying for a long time and just want it to stop. I tried to drown myself, but I was saved, I thought I was all alone, but someone reached a hand out and showed me I wasn't. I don't know if I should reach a hand out to you. I'm not sure you deserve to be saved. Things you done, blood on your hands...my daughter, she survived you, but how many others haven't? Tom was, I would have sat here and watched you pull that trigger, maybe even done it myself. But something in my heart has shifted recently. And I'm glad for it because it's let me start to forgive myself. We don't have to keep feeding the darkest part of ourselves.
Ernestine
It's okay. It's okay. You free. You gon be free. You gon be free.
Noah [to his baby]
He deserves everything. He deserves a world that sees him exactly how I will, special, important, free. And we cannot let that fear stop us from making that happen, no. We got to stay in this fight until the end. Rosalee, I love you
Noah
George: He did have one other request for you, ma'am.
Harriet: And what is that?
George: He'd like you to be part of the raid.
Georgia: I want to help them, I do, but there are only three of us.
Elizabeth: We can change that. If they're afraid of John Brown, let them know that they should be.
Rosalee: Give them their revolt.
Georgia: You are talking about armed insurrection for one man and his family.
Noah: If we ain't doing this for a good man and his family, then who the hell are we doing this for?
Harriet: What you doing in here?
Cato: Ain't this Ms. Georgia room?
Harriet: That it is.
Cato: You cargo, too?
Harriet: Naw, I just tidy up from time to time for Ms. Georgia. Now that's two questions of yours I answered and I only asked you one.
Noah: You ain't give me no choice. Rosalee, you treated me like a slave!
Rosalee: No.
Noah: You just like your father.
Daniel's Daughter: They gon sell us too, Daddy. They gon split us up.
Daniel: I ain't gon let that happen.

Excuse me, sir. Can I help you?
Elizabeth
