Quotes

Allison : I learned something new actually. It's helped me a lot. It's something called the "Maktub." A nurse told me about it. It's about acceptance.
Bill : Acceptance of what?
Allison : Your fate. It's helping me to stop struggling so much. Stop questioning everything. You just embrace your fate and learn to live in peace with it. It's a Muslim idea. It's about - letting go of all of that - shame - and guilt that pushes you down - and keeps you down - and makes you feel so powerless. And that's how I felt for a really long time. Powerless and forgotten. And - that makes living really hard. You know what I mean?
Bill : But you're innocent. So we got to keep fighting.
Allison : It doesn't matter that I'm innocent, Dad. It's not about justice, Dad. It's about finding peace.

Bill : Let's pray. Thank you, Lord, for this and many other blessings. Thank you for this special day with Ally. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Maya?
Maya : Dig in.
Virginie : [serving Allison] There you go.
Allison : Merci.
Bill : Thank you.
Allison : So you two really aren't having sex?
Bill : Allison Baker.
Allison : What? What? You're so French now, I-I thought it was okay to talk about sex at the dinner table. Sorry.

Bill : Once that oil company has that lease, they hire a drilling company. That's who I work for. And then we get there, we rig up and we put all that shit together. Once we have that rig up, we start making a hole. That's what a roughneck does. We make holes.
-
Bill : The press was against us. All they cared about was Allison was sleeping with some Arab girl. Bunch of - fake news scumbags.
-
Old Bar Owner : [looking over photos] What happened to your daughter, it's terrible. I still don't get how they could send a nice girl like that to jail. Look at all these monkeys.
Virginie : Do any of them look familiar?
Old Bar Owner : Hard to tell. They all look the same.
Bill : Does he recognize anybody?
Old Bar Owner : They come here, they're always trouble. It's like they own Marseille now.

Bill : "Ciseau à bois." That's a shitload of words for "chisel."
