Ruby Dee: Mother Abagail Freemantle

Quotes 

• Mother Abigail Freemantle : I have sinned in pride. So have you all. But that's past now. It's time now to give over your will to the will of God. It's time, to make your STAND.

• Mother Abigail Freemantle : [upon seeing Fran for the first time]  You with child, little girl!

  Frannie Goldsmith : How did you know that?

• Mother Abigail Freemantle : Who this woman that comes?

  Nadine Cross : I'm Nadine Cross.

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : Well, mayhap you is and mayhap you ain't.

  Nadine Cross : I'm from New York.

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : Mayhap you are.

  Nadine Cross : Mayhap I ain't.

• Frannie Goldsmith : Am I dead?

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : No child, you ain't dead.

  Frannie Goldsmith : Then why am I here?

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : You're here to do God's will, child, just like everyone else. God didn't bring you together to make a committee, or a 'Free Zone'. He brought you together to send some of you further. It's Stuart who must lead now that Nick's gone.

  Frannie Goldsmith : Lead? Lead where?

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : Why west, little girl. You're not to go, only these 4: Stuart, Ralph, Larry and Glen. You abide.

  Frannie Goldsmith : No, Stuart's not going anywhere! He's going to stay with me when I have my baby. Neither one of us is going to have anymore to do with your killer God!

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : The devil's imp has called his bride to put her with child. Will he let YOUR child LIVE, little girl?

• Carl Hough : You're real! You're really real!

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : Get up, I ain't no God and I ain't gonna be no golden calf.

• Mother Abigail Freemantle : [her last words]  Be true. STAND!
