Roger Collins
- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: [Discussing David] But he's still your son.
- Roger Collins: Is he? Are you sure of that, Liz? I'm not.
- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: Roger!
- Roger Collins: I married Laura right after Burke's trial, didn't I? She was his girl, wasn't she? And David was born almost eight months after our marriage.
- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: That's ridiculous, Roger, and you know it.
- Roger Collins: Maybe not. And maybe. But I know all the years I spent looking at that boy I kept seeing Burke. And I hated him, Liz. I won't deny it. I hated him.
- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: He's your son, I'm sure of it.
- Roger Collins: Why? Because he's deceitful, vicious, unpredictable? Because he tried to kill his own father?
- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: Roger, our family stays together. We always have and we always will. I think I've proved that to you in the past. I want to do as much for your son.
- Roger Collins: But David may not be...
- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: Don't tell me he's not your son because I won't accept that.
- [Gesturing to the portraits hanging in the drawing room]
- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: He belongs to them, just as we do. Jeremiah, Isaac, Benjamin, all of them. And he's the youngest. And the last. And he needs our help, and we're going to give it to him. Here.
- [last lines]
- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: I had to protect David.
- Roger Collins: You protected a monster, Liz. And don't ever forget that, because there'll come a day, perhaps not tomorrow, but it will come, and you will regret it.
