Tom: Is there a schoolhouse on the ridge?
Roger: No, not yet. But we do intend to build one. For now, I've been teachin' the wee lad his letters.
Tom: As long as there's a church. A man must surely build a house for God before building a home for himself.

Tom: I'm not Catholic. There were some of us at Ardsmuir who merely wanted Scotland's interests best served rather than the Pope's.

Claire: There.
Tom: Thank you. [to Jamie] At least it will be an honorable scar, won't it, McDou?
Jamie: [closes the door behind him] My God. He's a stiff-necked bastard.
Claire: Why on earth would he say that? Those are honorable scars.
Jamie: The flogging at Ardsmuir. He saw my back. Must have thought I'd done something to deserve them. And he didn't like me watching him sweat, I expect.
