Elizabeth Marston: How are you going to learn anything at all about life if you refuse to live it?
Elizabeth Marston: If it is the same work then why can I not receive a PhD from Harvard? Because I have a vagina?
William Moulton Marston: We did it! The link to the lie-detector test was there the whole time. It doesn't matter what you say or what you think. Your body will always betray you. Your heart pumps a record of the truth.
Elizabeth Marston: He respects me. He loves me. And he's never boring.
Elizabeth Marston: When are you going to stop justifying the whims of your cock with science?
Elizabeth Marston: Will you stop apologizing? Do you know how many times a minute you apologize?
Olive Byrne: Sorry.
Josette Frank: You don't even deny that these images are overtly sexual.
William Moulton Marston: An erotic component is necessary. How else is submission supposed to be pleasurable? I am teaching readers to submit to a loving authority, and that submission is pleasurable. Young boys must learn this most of all if they are to grow up respecting powerful women.
Josette Frank: What is powerful about a woman running around in a bathing suit?
William Moulton Marston: She is beautiful, guileless, kind, and pure of heart. You are brilliant, ferocious, hilarious, and a grade A bitch. Together, you are the perfect woman.
Answer: Though it may be considered immoral and socially unacceptable, particularly during the film's 1940s time frame, it is not illegal to live with multiple people in a sexual relationship. It is only illegal to be married to more than one person at the same time. Marston was not a bigamist. He was legally married to his wife, Elizabeth. They engaged in a consensual polyamorous (not polygamous) relationship with Olive, who was not married to Marston.
