Quote #7

FR. HORVAK: You can't do it. You know that.

FRANKIE: I do, Father. You don't know how thick she is, how hard it was to train her. Other fighters would do exactly what you say to them, and she'd ask why this and why that and do it her own way anyway. How she fought for the title—it wasn't by anything—well, it wasn't by listening to me.

Here, Frankie's trying to explain Maggie's stubbornness to Fr. Horvak, and hoping that it will change the priest's mind about helping Maggie die. Spoiler alert: It doesn't.
