North Country quotes

  • Hank Aimes: [to Josey upon announcing her desire to work at the mine] You wanna be a lesbian, now?

    Karen Aimes: [innocently] *I* wanna be a lesbian.

  • Josey Aimes: You act like I'm stealing. I work damn hard every day, same as you.

    Hank Aimes: Oh, now you're the same as me.

    Josey Aimes: Oh no, there's a few differences. You don't go to work scared of what they write about you on the walls, or what kind of disgusting thing you might find in your locker. You don't gotta be scared that one of these days you'll come to work and get raped.
