Alexandra Isles: Victoria Winters

Quotes 

• Sam Evans : I didn't mingle very much with the natives.

  Victoria Winters : The natives?

  Sam Evans : Yes, that's, uh, anyone whose family has lived here for at least two, uh, two hundred or a couple hundred years.

  Victoria Winters : Like the Collins family.

  Sam Evans : Yeah. You see, they were among the first group to, uh, settle in the area. And it's the descendants of those people that are the real natives.

  Victoria Winters : And where are you from?

  Sam Evans : Connecticut. Well, that's, uh, pretty far south from here, but, of course, to a real southerner, I'm a Yankee.

  Victoria Winters : Well, to me, you're just a man I'm very glad I know.

• Sam Evans : My dear Miss Winters, I am not of that school of painters where you have to have a wild imagination to understand the work. I paint what I see.

  Victoria Winters : I know, and I like it.

• Victoria Winters : My name is Victoria Winters. Last night I learned that a man I considered my friend might be implicated in an unexplained death. I have shared this secret with only one other man. Now I dread having to face the rest of the family at Collinwood not knowing what to expect.

• Victoria Winters : I think Burke is a dangerous man to have for a friend. He's unpredictable.

  Carolyn Stoddard : If he's so unpredictable, then why did you take that trip and spend the night in the same hotel with him?

  Roger Collins : Here, here. Because it's the best hotel in town, that's why. What's so unusual about that?

  Carolyn Stoddard : How do I know what happened?

  Roger Collins : Well, what difference does it make?

  Victoria Winters : That's what I'd like to know. Why is it so important to you?

  Carolyn Stoddard : I think that as long as you live here at Collinwood, everything you do reflects on us.

  Victoria Winters : And does nothing you do reflect on anyone?

• Victoria Winters : And there's one more thing, Carolyn Stoddard, my best friend. Burke told me on the drive up that it wasn't an accident he came into the coffee shop. You called him and told him to come downstairs. So he came down to see you and not me.
