Marsali: I want to be happy wi' Fergus, the way you are wi' Daddy, without having to worry about a bairn. You being a wisewoman, I thought you'd be worth asking.
Claire: When we get back to the ship, I'll explain to you how it's done, hm?
Marsali: So there is a way? [Claire nods] Maybe you're no the Devil after all.

Fergus: Non. I love her, too, Milord, but --
Jamie: What good are you, you damn fool?

Outlander Quotes
