Alec McClure: Jacob Fitch
Quotes
-
Jacob Fitch : I haven't seen my parents in four years, but when I heard about Katie, I had to come.
Ellie Harrison : And your opinion on what you've heard?
Jacob Fitch : This whole thing is crazy. It's got to be just some kind of big mistake.
Ellie Harrison : Look, you've been living in the English world long enough to know that your sister wouldn't be on trial for murder if there wasn't evidence.
Jacob Fitch : Look, I wanna help you, but I didn't even know she was pregnant.
Ellie Harrison : Well, are you aware that she's even denying that?
Jacob Fitch : Is it possible that she wasn't?
Ellie Harrison : Not unless she's the Virgin Mary.

Ellie Harrison : I had no idea that Katie had a brother.
Jacob Fitch : Yeah. They, uh... they don't like to talk about me.
Ellie Harrison : Why not?
Jacob Fitch : I decided I'd go to college rather than stay on the farm. But the Amish aren't too big on higher education. They're afraid it fosters too much pride. So, because I turned my back on the church, I was excommunicated.
Ellie Harrison : All right, that's a reason for the church to deny you, not your entire family.
Jacob Fitch : Yeah, well, my father... we don't exactly see things eye-to-eye.
Ellie Harrison : Does he with anyone?
Jacob Fitch : I see you've met.
