Not Without My Daughter Quotes

Moody:
I don't know how to say this to you. We're not going back. We're staying here.
Betty Mahmoody:
[pauses] What do you mean? How long?
Moody:
I want to get a job here in a hospital.
Betty Mahmoody:
What?
Moody:
I want us... to live in Iran.
Betty Mahmoody:
[softly] No... No...
Moody:
There's nothing for me in America.
Betty Mahmoody:
No... What? Are you crazy? We're Americans. Your daughter's an American! Moody, honey, you're upset about your job. I understand that. We're going to go back today and we're going to fix it.
Moody:
I want Mahtob to grow up here.
Betty Mahmoody:
[increasingly angry] No!
Moody:
I think she should become a Muslim!
Betty Mahmoody:
[screams] No! No! [pauses]
Betty Mahmoody:
You lied to me. You lied to me! You held the Koran and you swore to me that nothing was going happen. You were planning this all the time. You lied to me!

[referring to Ellen's husband]
Betty Mahmoody:
Was he violent?
Ellen:
No, not in the States, never. They're not supposed to, you know. It's not Islamic.

Nicole:
If you marry an Iranian man, you automatically become an Iranian citizen. The laws regarding women are very strict. You cannot travel anywhere without written permission. You have no rights to the children. They go to the man in a divorce. I'm sorry, but you *will* have to go back to your husband.
Betty Mahmoody:
But we'll never get out of Iran. We're being held hostage! It was almost impossible to come here!
Nicole:
Mrs. Mahmoody, there are many American women here in similar circumstances. [pauses]
Nicole:
May I ask you why you came to Iran?
Betty Mahmoody:
[pauses] I don't know. I don't know.

Betty Mahmoody:
My father's ill. He could be dying. I have to go and see him.
Houssein:
I don't think your father would have wanted you to go back if it meant losing your daughter.
Betty Mahmoody:
Why can't I go and see him, come back, and leave later with Mahtob?
Houssein:
You can't leave Mahtob here, not with Moody's family. They're from the provinces, and this regime only encourages them. There are some people who consider a girl ready for marriage at nine years of age. Child rights are not unknown.
