2
00:01:55,608 --> 00:01:58,233
Snow all winter, cloudbursts all spring.
3
00:01:58,674 --> 00:02:01,654
Food just about gone. There's
nothing in the ground coming up.
4
00:02:01,939 --> 00:02:04,217
If we stay here much
longer. We'll starve.
5
00:02:04,539 --> 00:02:07,013
They're always saying the same
thing Tom, no matter where we go.
6
00:02:07,355 --> 00:02:09,797
Pull up stakes and get
gone is all you think about.
7
00:02:10,204 --> 00:02:13,519
We got nothing to worry about, Pa.
Rain don't last forever.
8
00:02:13,752 --> 00:02:15,628
Even if it stopped,
you wouldn't notice it.
9
00:02:16,152 --> 00:02:19,333
Being as how you're everlasting
got your nose stuck in some book.
10
00:02:19,821 --> 00:02:20,922
What you reading now?
11
00:02:21,259 --> 00:02:23,734
That book Squire Noble
gave me back in Indiana.
12
00:02:24,263 --> 00:02:25,507
It's called "Shakespeare".
13
00:02:26,265 --> 00:02:28,735
What in the name of
tarnation mockery is that?
14
00:02:29,629 --> 00:02:30,741
Kind of poetry.
15
00:02:31,852 --> 00:02:32,714
Poetry?
16
00:02:33,832 --> 00:02:35,181
Hmm. My son.
17
00:02:36,075 --> 00:02:38,496
Maybe, if he ever gets time
to get himself an education..
18
00:02:38,691 --> 00:02:40,832
Maybe someday he'll write poetry.
19
00:02:44,729 --> 00:02:46,466
Over my dead body, he will.
20
00:02:47,029 --> 00:02:49,514
Well, it's settled.
We're all ready to go.
21
00:02:49,721 --> 00:02:51,537
Go where?
- Didn't Abe tell you?
22
00:02:52,064 --> 00:02:53,179
A boy named..
23
00:02:53,427 --> 00:02:55,725
Let me tell 'em, John.
You talk too slow.
24
00:02:56,078 --> 00:02:57,874
There's a trader named Denton Offut..
25
00:02:57,974 --> 00:03:01,246
Wants me and John and Abe to take a
flat boat of hogs down to New Orleans.
26
00:03:01,611 --> 00:03:03,980
He wasn't sure we was the men
for it. But we convinced him.
27
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,446
Good money?
- Twenty dollars a month. Apiece.
28
00:03:06,696 --> 00:03:09,405
We're starting from a town called
Springfield up the Sangamon river.
29
00:03:09,617 --> 00:03:11,518
When?
- Right now. Come on, Abe.
30
00:03:11,786 --> 00:03:13,541
Yeah, if we don't hurry we lose the job.
31
00:03:13,731 --> 00:03:17,763
Who'd have thunk anyone in this family
would ever make twenty dollars a month.
32
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:22,111
So you're going, Abe?
33
00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:27,590
I guess I'd better do it, Ma.
34
00:03:34,563 --> 00:03:37,152
I know I can trust the old
man to your care, Ma.
35
00:03:37,392 --> 00:03:38,952
And we can trust you, Abe.
36
00:03:39,525 --> 00:03:40,604
You're a good boy.
37
00:03:41,578 --> 00:03:43,812
I couldn't have loved you more
if you'd been my own son.
38
00:03:45,179 --> 00:03:48,120
I'll always be thanking you Ma,
for your great kindness to me.
39
00:03:50,185 --> 00:03:51,874
Wherever you go, whatever you do.
40
00:03:52,663 --> 00:03:54,354
You remember what the good book said:
41
00:03:55,736 --> 00:03:57,164
"The world passeth."
42
00:03:57,913 --> 00:03:59,677
"But he that doeth the will of God."
43
00:04:00,043 --> 00:04:01,692
"Abideth forever."
44
00:04:04,589 --> 00:04:05,789
I'll remember, Ma.
45
00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:08,062
Goodbye.
46
00:04:09,612 --> 00:04:10,596
Goodbye.
47
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:12,943
Dear Abe.
48
00:04:33,886 --> 00:04:37,435
Last time I was down south they talked
about an election in The United States.
49
00:04:37,770 --> 00:04:41,018
I tell you these suckers here don't know
their own head from an ax handle.
50
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:43,849
Why, I remember once when..
- There's a town over there, Mr Offut.
51
00:04:44,863 --> 00:04:46,849
Yeah. That's New Salem.
52
00:04:47,564 --> 00:04:48,933
A right pretty little place.
53
00:04:49,190 --> 00:04:50,978
Going to be bigger than
Springfield someday.
54
00:04:51,641 --> 00:04:53,051
No, you don't. No, you don't.
55
00:04:54,264 --> 00:04:57,834
I got all my rag money and savings
wrapped up in you little squealers.
56
00:04:58,211 --> 00:05:00,441
And I don't calculate to
lose it in the Sangamon.
57
00:05:01,647 --> 00:05:02,691
Keel her over, Abe.
58
00:05:02,890 --> 00:05:04,635
Keel her over. Mill dam just ahead.
59
00:05:10,635 --> 00:05:12,674
Keel her over, Abe. Keel her over!
60
00:05:14,323 --> 00:05:15,986
Keel her over, boys. Keel her over.
61
00:05:16,467 --> 00:05:17,415
I'm a keeling.
62
00:05:38,838 --> 00:05:41,023
Never mind me. Get them pigs.
63
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:51,448
My name is Abe Lincoln.
64
00:06:51,809 --> 00:06:53,024
And mine is Ann Rutledge.
65
00:06:53,949 --> 00:06:55,976
I.. I don't know the name of the pig.
66
00:06:57,207 --> 00:06:59,108
Well, where are you
going with all those pigs?
67
00:06:59,368 --> 00:07:02,592
New Orleans. If we don't hit
any more mill dams on the way.
68
00:07:02,938 --> 00:07:04,372
Do you live here, Miss Rutledge?
69
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:05,273
Yes.
70
00:07:05,619 --> 00:07:08,321
I suppose it doesn't look like
much to a travelled man like you.
71
00:07:08,561 --> 00:07:10,254
It looks like a fine place to me.
72
00:07:10,942 --> 00:07:11,785
Fine people.
73
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:14,087
If you think I like to
travel, you're wrong.
74
00:07:14,275 --> 00:07:16,865
I'm only doing it because
I got to. Same as the pig.
75
00:07:17,522 --> 00:07:18,197
Hey!
76
00:07:18,664 --> 00:07:19,354
Hey!
77
00:07:20,139 --> 00:07:22,113
Oh.. I guess I got to be going.
78
00:07:23,141 --> 00:07:24,299
Goodbye, Miss Rutledge.
79
00:07:24,555 --> 00:07:26,585
I'm pleased to have made
your acquaintance.
80
00:07:26,788 --> 00:07:28,075
Goodbye, Mr Lincoln.
81
00:07:28,721 --> 00:07:29,622
And good luck.
82
00:07:35,594 --> 00:07:37,372
58.. 59.. 60.
83
00:07:38,176 --> 00:07:39,529
Looks like we got them all.
84
00:07:40,136 --> 00:07:41,392
Nice people them people.
85
00:07:41,798 --> 00:07:42,732
You know what.
86
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:45,660
As soon as I get back I'm going
to open up a store in that town.
87
00:07:46,051 --> 00:07:47,598
You think you'd like to work for me?
88
00:07:48,064 --> 00:07:48,694
Abe?
89
00:07:49,397 --> 00:07:50,744
Yes, sir?
- Did you hear me?
90
00:07:51,106 --> 00:07:51,835
No, sir.
91
00:07:51,977 --> 00:07:54,653
I said I'm going to open up a store
in that town as soon as I get back.
92
00:07:54,988 --> 00:07:56,432
Want to work for me?
- Yes, sir.
93
00:08:01,006 --> 00:08:02,048
I sure do.
94
00:08:19,776 --> 00:08:21,685
Al I know about Denton Offut.
95
00:08:21,984 --> 00:08:24,807
I can bet you a coon-skin cap
against your Sunday pants..
96
00:08:24,907 --> 00:08:27,180
He don't show up in
New Salem like he promised.
97
00:08:27,435 --> 00:08:29,544
Well if he don't, he don't.
That's simple, ain't it.
98
00:08:30,097 --> 00:08:32,709
You got another interest in New Salem?
- Nope. Don't know anybody.
99
00:08:33,285 --> 00:08:36,526
Well.. nobody excepting
Ann Rutledge maybe.
100
00:08:36,713 --> 00:08:37,986
You know her?
- Who don't.
101
00:08:38,092 --> 00:08:39,679
Her Pa owns the tavern.
102
00:08:40,090 --> 00:08:41,248
Where did you meet her?
103
00:08:41,488 --> 00:08:43,944
I was with a pig. She spoke to me first.
104
00:09:02,109 --> 00:09:03,967
They was pioneers in them days.
105
00:09:04,306 --> 00:09:06,930
And we didn't have no luxuries
to live on like you got today.
106
00:09:07,302 --> 00:09:10,257
We didn't have no pickles
and gravy and corn bread.
107
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:11,761
No sirree.
108
00:09:12,292 --> 00:09:15,369
Prime salt pork was a
Sunday dish in them days.
109
00:09:15,659 --> 00:09:17,516
What you eat on Saturdays, Ben? Beans?
110
00:09:20,849 --> 00:09:23,484
What's happening?
- Election day. That's old Ben Mattling.
111
00:09:23,781 --> 00:09:25,603
He makes the same speech every year.
112
00:09:27,052 --> 00:09:28,534
But we didn't complain neither.
113
00:09:29,165 --> 00:09:31,299
We pitched in to the revolutionary war.
114
00:09:31,632 --> 00:09:34,196
We weren't no milksops
like you are today.
115
00:09:34,647 --> 00:09:36,518
If the country is going to the dogs.
116
00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:38,731
Why don't you do something about it?
117
00:09:39,021 --> 00:09:41,293
I'm talking to you like a soldier.
118
00:09:41,801 --> 00:09:44,485
I have to plow this miserable country.
119
00:09:44,981 --> 00:09:47,198
Didn't you get no assistance
from Washington and Jefferson?
120
00:09:49,225 --> 00:09:50,729
Shut up, Jack. Let him talk.
121
00:09:51,195 --> 00:09:53,470
Now what I want to know is this.
122
00:09:54,915 --> 00:09:56,330
How are you going to vote today?
123
00:09:56,533 --> 00:09:59,302
We'll vote as we gosh-darned
please, you old windbag.
124
00:09:59,495 --> 00:10:01,282
Come on, boys. Let's
go and get some liquor.
125
00:10:01,382 --> 00:10:04,055
Who's going to pay for it, Jack?
- Who said anything about paying?
126
00:10:04,409 --> 00:10:06,540
In the year 1776..
127
00:10:07,157 --> 00:10:10,832
We stated the proposition that
all men were created equal.
128
00:10:11,595 --> 00:10:12,673
And now look at us.
129
00:10:15,856 --> 00:10:18,031
You keep out here, you low scum, you.
130
00:10:18,308 --> 00:10:21,557
You'll get no liquor from me today or any
day until you learn to behave yourselves.
131
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:23,556
I believe I said we want liquor.
132
00:10:23,757 --> 00:10:25,237
Did you hear me say it, Mr McNeil?
133
00:10:25,337 --> 00:10:27,476
Now go easy, Armstrong.
We don't want any trouble here.
134
00:10:27,576 --> 00:10:29,428
Oh? And what's more we
won't have any trouble.
135
00:10:29,528 --> 00:10:30,867
Don't fight with him, John.
136
00:10:30,967 --> 00:10:33,793
No, John. Don't you fight with me.
If you want to keep your health.
137
00:10:34,006 --> 00:10:35,135
Let him go I tell you.
138
00:10:35,650 --> 00:10:38,424
Afraid I might do something to that
pretty face of your future husband?
139
00:10:38,789 --> 00:10:40,293
Never mind, Miss Annie.
140
00:10:40,562 --> 00:10:41,855
I won't damage him.
141
00:10:42,116 --> 00:10:43,935
If he is what you want,
you can have him.
142
00:10:46,302 --> 00:10:50,177
As you ain't hospitality to invite us,
I guess we might as well help ourselves.
143
00:10:50,405 --> 00:10:51,306
Come on, boys.
144
00:11:01,385 --> 00:11:03,474
The Cleary Grove boys are
getting drunk. All of them.
145
00:11:03,645 --> 00:11:06,151
They'll break up the whole tavern.
Can't anybody do anything?
146
00:11:06,830 --> 00:11:08,322
Can't you speak to them, Judge?
147
00:11:08,422 --> 00:11:10,874
I'm afraid Miss Ann, it
wouldn't do a particle of good.
148
00:11:11,194 --> 00:11:12,266
You're right, Judge.
149
00:11:12,988 --> 00:11:14,339
Not a particle of good.
150
00:11:15,017 --> 00:11:17,291
I tell you, you all ought to
listen to what the judge said.
151
00:11:18,978 --> 00:11:20,995
He's got a round belly but a level head.
152
00:11:21,781 --> 00:11:24,539
Nobody can do nothing with
me without licking me first.
153
00:11:24,860 --> 00:11:26,134
If I was a might younger..
154
00:11:26,234 --> 00:11:27,117
Easy, Ben.
155
00:11:31,778 --> 00:11:33,362
I'm the big buck of this lick.
156
00:11:34,105 --> 00:11:37,086
And any of you want to whet
your horns, all you got to do is..
157
00:11:40,101 --> 00:11:41,286
Give that hat a kick.
158
00:11:43,982 --> 00:11:46,664
Don't you dare to worry, Trum.
Nobody will dare to damage it.
159
00:11:49,389 --> 00:11:50,842
You want a fight, stranger?
160
00:11:51,457 --> 00:11:52,601
Not particularly.
161
00:11:52,701 --> 00:11:54,599
Well if you change your
mind, there's the hat.
162
00:11:55,168 --> 00:11:57,830
If I were a man, Jack Armstrong, I'd
give you the thrashing you deserve.
163
00:12:00,716 --> 00:12:03,257
Well you ain't a man Miss Annie
and praise be for that.
164
00:12:03,786 --> 00:12:06,273
You're a female and a pretty
gosh-darned appealing one.
165
00:12:06,924 --> 00:12:09,223
Can't you see I'm the only man
there is in the measly town?
166
00:12:09,437 --> 00:12:10,366
Leave go of me.
167
00:12:14,408 --> 00:12:15,646
I've changed my mind.
168
00:12:19,478 --> 00:12:21,238
Excuse me, Mister.
But it had to be done.
169
00:12:21,446 --> 00:12:22,767
Better be careful, stranger.
170
00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:24,883
You're up against the
greatest fighter in this town.
171
00:12:25,050 --> 00:12:27,606
Thank you, gentlemen.
But we've all got to learn sometime.
172
00:12:30,871 --> 00:12:33,408
That's the spirit, Mr flop-ears.
173
00:12:35,572 --> 00:12:36,415
Shake hands?
174
00:12:37,422 --> 00:12:38,237
A pleasure.
175
00:12:44,209 --> 00:12:47,037
That was quite a hardy handshake.
176
00:12:47,251 --> 00:12:48,505
At least I admit it.
177
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,949
When I was a boy I didn't like
molasses and sulphur either but I..
178
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:55,258
Got so I could take it.
179
00:12:58,820 --> 00:12:59,692
Want another?
180
00:12:59,998 --> 00:13:01,188
Shouldn't be surprised.
181
00:14:11,994 --> 00:14:13,526
Watch out for his dirty tricks.
182
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:25,619
Lick him stranger, and
you'll be my friend for life.
183
00:14:47,814 --> 00:14:49,883
That's it. That's it, go after him.
184
00:14:57,797 --> 00:14:59,269
Are you satisfied?
185
00:15:00,208 --> 00:15:01,214
I'm satisfied.
186
00:15:03,275 --> 00:15:05,508
Also, I'm quite considerably surprised.
187
00:15:06,334 --> 00:15:07,063
So am I.
188
00:15:07,978 --> 00:15:10,181
It was an accident.
- You didn't fight fair.
189
00:15:10,513 --> 00:15:12,163
Wrestle him again, Jack.
- No, sir.
190
00:15:12,698 --> 00:15:15,292
No more wrestling with this
long-legged son of vengeance.
191
00:15:16,043 --> 00:15:17,667
I'm here to admit to one and all.
192
00:15:18,058 --> 00:15:20,115
That New Salem has a new champion.
193
00:15:21,734 --> 00:15:22,692
Congratulations.
194
00:15:22,928 --> 00:15:23,769
Fine work.
195
00:15:25,304 --> 00:15:26,691
That was good work, Mr Lincoln.
196
00:15:26,791 --> 00:15:28,779
You're the man we've been
waiting for in New Salem.
197
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:30,581
Thank you for remembering my name.
198
00:15:30,776 --> 00:15:31,906
You've met before?
199
00:15:32,286 --> 00:15:34,211
In a.. sort of informal way.
200
00:15:34,864 --> 00:15:37,420
I hope you will be staying here.
- I hope so, Miss Rutledge.
201
00:15:47,442 --> 00:15:50,538
Looks like we must delay the voting.
We haven't anyone to act as clerk yet.
202
00:15:50,638 --> 00:15:52,390
Here you are, stranger.
- Oh, thank you.
203
00:15:52,490 --> 00:15:53,882
What's your name?
- Lincoln.
204
00:15:54,183 --> 00:15:56,285
Abraham Lincoln.
- My name is Joshua Speed.
205
00:15:56,385 --> 00:15:57,392
Glad to meet you.
206
00:15:57,492 --> 00:16:00,011
I'll introduce you to our leading
citizens. Judge Bowling Green.
207
00:16:00,111 --> 00:16:02,424
How do you do.
- Mr Mentor Graham, our schoolmaster.
208
00:16:02,524 --> 00:16:04,364
Glad to meet all of you.
- Good afternoon.
209
00:16:04,538 --> 00:16:05,439
Can you write?
210
00:16:05,623 --> 00:16:07,334
I guess I can make a few hand tracks.
211
00:16:09,115 --> 00:16:10,730
Good. Then you can help tabulate votes.
212
00:16:11,008 --> 00:16:13,078
Give him the oath, Bowling.
- Raise your right hand.
213
00:16:13,362 --> 00:16:14,323
Repeat after me.
214
00:16:14,526 --> 00:16:17,650
I, Abraham Lincoln do solemnly
swear to uphold the constitution of..
215
00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:18,926
Wait a minute, mister.
216
00:16:19,026 --> 00:16:20,357
What are you getting me into?
217
00:16:20,457 --> 00:16:22,637
We must put you to work for
the government, Mr Lincoln.
218
00:16:22,737 --> 00:16:24,849
Oh no you don't. I don't
want to be no politician.
219
00:16:26,394 --> 00:16:27,227
Nonsense.
220
00:16:27,395 --> 00:16:29,640
All you're going to do is to see
that we get an honest vote.
221
00:16:29,997 --> 00:16:31,457
Come on now. Take the oath.
222
00:16:31,855 --> 00:16:33,126
Go ahead, Mr Lincoln.
223
00:16:33,226 --> 00:16:35,646
You're the only one those
Cleary Grove boys will respect.
224
00:16:38,125 --> 00:16:39,178
Alright, mister..?
225
00:16:39,472 --> 00:16:40,430
Gale. Seth Gale.
226
00:16:41,034 --> 00:16:41,706
Howdy.
227
00:16:42,535 --> 00:16:43,549
The same to you.
228
00:16:48,077 --> 00:16:49,767
I, Abraham Lincoln.
229
00:16:49,955 --> 00:16:53,149
Do solemnly swear to
uphold the constitution..
230
00:16:53,593 --> 00:16:55,243
Of The United States of America.
231
00:16:56,667 --> 00:16:58,887
Of The United States of America.
232
00:17:04,641 --> 00:17:07,352
Well, let's see now.
I've got my hickory shirt.
233
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,650
I got my pound of beans.
234
00:17:10,326 --> 00:17:12,282
And give me a pair of buckskin gloves.
235
00:17:12,507 --> 00:17:14,099
Ain't got no buckskin gloves but..
236
00:17:14,587 --> 00:17:17,171
These are dog's skin.
They only cost 75 cents.
237
00:17:18,205 --> 00:17:19,229
They look good.
238
00:17:19,473 --> 00:17:21,851
How do you know they are dog's skin?
- I'll tell you how I know.
239
00:17:22,338 --> 00:17:24,598
Jack Cleary's dog kills
Tom Watkins' sheep.
240
00:17:24,872 --> 00:17:26,651
Tom Watkins' boy kills the dog.
241
00:17:26,891 --> 00:17:28,709
Old John Morris tans the dog's skin.
242
00:17:29,084 --> 00:17:30,548
Sally Spears makes the gloves.
243
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:32,644
That's how I come to
know they are dog's skin.
244
00:17:35,736 --> 00:17:36,890
So that's how, is it.
245
00:17:37,219 --> 00:17:38,320
Well, I'll take them.
246
00:17:38,660 --> 00:17:40,691
But.. you'll have to
trust me for the money.
247
00:17:41,368 --> 00:17:44,426
If anybody ever offered us cash
in this store we'd drop dead.
248
00:17:46,387 --> 00:17:48,883
I'll remember that, Abe.
When I trade here again.
249
00:17:53,193 --> 00:17:53,824
Abe.
250
00:17:54,886 --> 00:17:57,094
I'm a restless man.
Got the soul of a gypsy.
251
00:17:57,585 --> 00:17:59,287
I feel the urge to pull
out of New Salem.
252
00:17:59,556 --> 00:18:02,025
Why, I'm sorry..
- I want to show my appreciation.
253
00:18:02,228 --> 00:18:03,987
For the fine work you've
done in my employ.
254
00:18:04,168 --> 00:18:05,900
No thanks are necessary, Mr Offut.
255
00:18:06,110 --> 00:18:08,305
I'm going to give you more
than mere thanks, my friend.
256
00:18:08,766 --> 00:18:10,611
I'm going to make you
a present of this store.
257
00:18:11,026 --> 00:18:13,583
Yes sir, Abe. It's all yours.
Lock, stock and barrel.
258
00:18:13,781 --> 00:18:16,403
That's mighty generous of you, Mr Offut.
- Not a word, Abe. Not a word.
259
00:18:17,334 --> 00:18:20,149
I'm making this gesture solely
because that's the way I am.
260
00:18:20,931 --> 00:18:22,877
Goodnight, Abe.
- But Mr Offut..
261
00:18:24,243 --> 00:18:27,093
There is one thing that I hope
you'll excuse me to mention.
262
00:18:27,806 --> 00:18:29,867
Just how much money do you owe here?
263
00:18:32,255 --> 00:18:33,992
I knew you was a smart man, Abe.
264
00:18:34,795 --> 00:18:37,506
Yes, sir. I've always been
a shrewd judge of character.
265
00:18:37,684 --> 00:18:40,195
With your brain and energy
you'll make a go of this store.
266
00:18:40,637 --> 00:18:43,210
And it won't take you long
to pay of the sum of $1,500.
267
00:18:43,911 --> 00:18:44,697
Goodnight.
268
00:18:59,923 --> 00:19:00,901
Evening, Abe.
269
00:19:01,277 --> 00:19:02,326
Evening, Mentor.
270
00:19:10,225 --> 00:19:12,363
Let's see. Where were
we when we left off?
271
00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:15,808
You said at this lesson
we'd review the "moods".
272
00:19:16,252 --> 00:19:17,520
Ah yes, the moods.
273
00:19:18,952 --> 00:19:20,861
Every one of us has many moods.
274
00:19:21,997 --> 00:19:24,049
You yourself have more
than your share, Abe.
275
00:19:24,847 --> 00:19:26,656
They express the various aspects.
276
00:19:27,857 --> 00:19:28,643
Now.
277
00:19:29,591 --> 00:19:31,129
Name me the five moods.
278
00:19:34,546 --> 00:19:35,211
Abe.
279
00:19:38,342 --> 00:19:39,457
Excuse me, Mentor.
280
00:19:39,979 --> 00:19:41,927
I asked you to name me the five moods.
281
00:19:42,858 --> 00:19:43,561
Oh.
282
00:19:44,544 --> 00:19:46,583
The indicative, the imperative..
283
00:19:46,905 --> 00:19:48,761
Potential, subjunctive and infinitive.
284
00:19:49,570 --> 00:19:52,233
And what do they signify?
- The indicative mood is the easy one.
285
00:19:52,424 --> 00:19:55,824
That just indicates a thing like
"he loved" or "he is loved".
286
00:19:56,617 --> 00:19:58,734
The imperative mood is
used for commanding, like..
287
00:19:59,315 --> 00:20:00,759
"Get out and be danged doing it".
288
00:20:01,774 --> 00:20:03,530
Is that the best example
you can think of?
289
00:20:03,630 --> 00:20:05,117
Well you can put it in the bible:
290
00:20:05,217 --> 00:20:07,934
"Wait until I go Thou in peace"
but it is still imperative.
291
00:20:09,455 --> 00:20:10,814
And the potential?
292
00:20:11,773 --> 00:20:15,864
Well, that just signifies possibility.
Usually of an unpleasant nature like..
293
00:20:16,403 --> 00:20:19,664
"If I ever get out of debt, I'll
probably get right back in again."
294
00:20:20,578 --> 00:20:22,123
Debts keep piling up on you, Abe?
295
00:20:22,349 --> 00:20:25,056
I'm afraid it's my own fault.
I'm my father's son.
296
00:20:25,343 --> 00:20:27,616
Give me a good steady
job and I'll fail at it.
297
00:20:28,998 --> 00:20:30,414
You haven't been a failure, Abe.
298
00:20:31,577 --> 00:20:33,389
There's not a man-jack
in this community..
299
00:20:33,489 --> 00:20:36,178
That isn't fond of you and
anxious to see you get ahead.
300
00:20:36,976 --> 00:20:38,392
I know it just like you, Mentor.
301
00:20:38,577 --> 00:20:42,425
Sitting up nights to give me learning
just out of the kindness of your heart.
302
00:20:43,238 --> 00:20:45,338
And now Judge Green and Josh Speed.
303
00:20:45,797 --> 00:20:48,627
And a few others I owe money to
want to get me the job of postman.
304
00:20:49,502 --> 00:20:53,310
Thinking maybe I can handle that seeing
as there's only one mail comes a week.
305
00:20:54,921 --> 00:20:55,759
Well, Abe.
306
00:20:56,170 --> 00:20:59,868
There are always two occupations open to
those who've failed at everything else.
307
00:21:00,341 --> 00:21:02,876
There is school teaching and politics.
308
00:21:04,067 --> 00:21:07,032
I'll take school teaching. You go into
politics and you may get elected..
309
00:21:07,132 --> 00:21:09,527
And then you got to go to the city
and I don't want none of that.
310
00:21:09,761 --> 00:21:12,015
What did I say about too negative?
- I meant any off that.
311
00:21:12,816 --> 00:21:14,518
What's your objection
to the cities, Abe?
312
00:21:15,415 --> 00:21:16,430
You ever seen one?
313
00:21:17,063 --> 00:21:17,766
Sure.
314
00:21:18,697 --> 00:21:20,470
I've been down river to New Orleans.
315
00:21:21,923 --> 00:21:25,433
You know every minute of the
time I was there, I was scared.
316
00:21:26,225 --> 00:21:27,695
I was scared of people.
317
00:21:28,325 --> 00:21:32,438
Did you imagine that they would rob
you of all your gold and your jewels?
318
00:21:33,132 --> 00:21:33,752
No.
319
00:21:35,696 --> 00:21:37,378
I was scared they'd kill me.
320
00:21:48,897 --> 00:21:49,598
Why?
321
00:21:49,968 --> 00:21:51,412
Why should they want to kill you?
322
00:21:52,195 --> 00:21:53,067
I don't know.
323
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:58,601
You are a hopeless mess of
inconsistencies, Abe Lincoln.
324
00:22:00,477 --> 00:22:02,111
You understand, don't you, Ann?
325
00:22:05,138 --> 00:22:06,803
How long will you be gone, John?
326
00:22:07,536 --> 00:22:09,341
About 2-3 months. That's all.
327
00:22:09,993 --> 00:22:11,120
I'll miss you.
328
00:22:12,369 --> 00:22:13,775
Every minute of the time.
329
00:22:15,829 --> 00:22:17,049
This was my mother's.
330
00:22:18,077 --> 00:22:20,654
My father gave it to her when
they became engaged.
331
00:22:29,631 --> 00:22:30,989
All you must ever think about.
332
00:22:31,340 --> 00:22:33,230
All I'll ever think about
is that I love you.
333
00:22:35,185 --> 00:22:36,988
We are going to be wonderfully happy.
334
00:22:42,090 --> 00:22:43,236
Tell me that again.
335
00:22:45,396 --> 00:22:47,098
Tell me we're going to be happy.
336
00:22:52,229 --> 00:22:53,834
Hey, Abe. Have you seen this?
337
00:22:56,135 --> 00:22:58,781
The governor is calling for a troop of
volunteers right here in New Salem.
338
00:22:59,014 --> 00:23:00,474
You'll be going won't you, Abe?
339
00:23:00,714 --> 00:23:01,615
I don't know.
340
00:23:01,818 --> 00:23:04,701
It seems to me as if those Indians
had a right to their own land.
341
00:23:04,894 --> 00:23:07,399
Yes, but if want to settle in
Kansas-Nebraska territory..
342
00:23:07,499 --> 00:23:09,941
And live in peace out there we've
got to fight the Indians first.
343
00:23:10,147 --> 00:23:12,421
Just the way your own father did
when he moved into Kentucky.
344
00:23:15,134 --> 00:23:16,190
What is it, Jack?
345
00:23:16,290 --> 00:23:18,015
We're all going to war, Abe.
346
00:23:18,302 --> 00:23:19,997
And we've elected you Captain.
347
00:23:21,537 --> 00:23:23,586
It looks as if they've made
up my mind for me.
348
00:23:26,855 --> 00:23:28,709
Squad right wheel, march!
349
00:23:35,624 --> 00:23:37,609
Squad right wheel, march!
350
00:23:40,013 --> 00:23:42,706
Left.. left.. left, right, left.
351
00:23:42,941 --> 00:23:45,185
And they are known as Captain
Abraham Lincoln's company..
352
00:23:45,285 --> 00:23:47,852
Of the 1st Regiment of the
Brigade of mounted volunteers.
353
00:23:48,181 --> 00:23:50,383
Yeah.. mounted volunteers.
354
00:23:51,079 --> 00:23:54,238
I'd hate to be a horse and have
one of them galoots ride me.
355
00:23:54,915 --> 00:23:55,677
March!
356
00:24:12,338 --> 00:24:16,123
Jack.. I've forgotten the command that
will take 'em through the gate end-wise.
357
00:24:16,582 --> 00:24:18,479
Don't ask me, sir. I'm only a Sergeant.
358
00:24:27,666 --> 00:24:28,879
Company, halt!
359
00:24:29,705 --> 00:24:34,308
The Company will break ranks and form
again on the other side of the gate.
360
00:24:38,162 --> 00:24:39,888
Hey, Abe.. look!
361
00:25:02,762 --> 00:25:03,863
Anything for me, Abe?
362
00:25:04,027 --> 00:25:06,999
Yes, Seth. There is one from
Maryland. Probably from your folks.
363
00:25:07,196 --> 00:25:08,717
28 cents due.
- Thanks, Abe.
364
00:25:09,017 --> 00:25:11,195
I'll pay you later.
- Any time, Seth.
365
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,165
Anything for the Rutledge
family this morning?
366
00:25:14,306 --> 00:25:17,442
There is one for your Pa.
Looks like a liquor advertisement.
367
00:25:18,825 --> 00:25:21,075
One from New York State for you.
368
00:25:31,459 --> 00:25:33,579
There is 34 cents due on it too.
369
00:25:37,022 --> 00:25:38,409
I haven't got my purse with me.
370
00:25:38,547 --> 00:25:40,624
That's alright, Miss Ann.
The government can wait.
371
00:25:41,172 --> 00:25:43,178
Thank you, Abe. Very much.
372
00:26:03,297 --> 00:26:04,605
Good morning, Miss Ann.
373
00:26:04,969 --> 00:26:06,839
My, you're looking prettier every day.
374
00:26:07,612 --> 00:26:08,763
Good news, I hope.
375
00:26:09,330 --> 00:26:10,431
Very good, thank you.
376
00:26:12,771 --> 00:26:15,496
Ha! Catch me waiting
two years for any man.
377
00:26:28,126 --> 00:26:31,029
I beg your pardon, Miss. Can you
Direct me to the home of Joshua Speed?
378
00:26:31,357 --> 00:26:33,470
Yes, it's the house up there
with the morning glories.
379
00:26:33,570 --> 00:26:36,465
I think you'll find him at the tavern.
- Thank you, Miss. I'm much obliged.
380
00:26:45,161 --> 00:26:48,955
Abe. Next to my old man, I think you're
the homeliest critter I ever saw.
381
00:26:52,542 --> 00:26:54,085
There is a reason, Mrs Garn.
382
00:26:54,185 --> 00:26:57,621
When I was two months old I was
the handsomest child in Kentucky.
383
00:26:58,144 --> 00:27:01,859
My nurse swapped me off for another
one that was kind of plain looking.
384
00:27:05,741 --> 00:27:06,502
Hey, Abe.
385
00:27:06,986 --> 00:27:08,459
They wants you over to the tavern.
386
00:27:08,671 --> 00:27:09,472
Who does?
387
00:27:09,572 --> 00:27:12,154
Josh Speed and Bowling
Green and one of them..
388
00:27:12,254 --> 00:27:14,044
Dressed up fellows from Springfield.
389
00:27:14,362 --> 00:27:16,250
What do they want of me?
- I don't know.
390
00:27:16,637 --> 00:27:17,862
But I can tell you this.
391
00:27:18,158 --> 00:27:20,536
I don't like the looks of it.
392
00:27:24,582 --> 00:27:26,600
But he's the best-liked
man in this district.
393
00:27:26,869 --> 00:27:27,971
The very man we want.
394
00:27:28,071 --> 00:27:29,993
Maybe it will correct
the public belief that..
395
00:27:30,093 --> 00:27:32,681
The Whig party is composed only
of the more privileged classes.
396
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:33,567
Gentlemen.
397
00:27:34,273 --> 00:27:36,182
Abe, I want you to meet
Mr Ninian Edwards.
398
00:27:36,282 --> 00:27:38,320
A mighty important member
of our political party.
399
00:27:38,420 --> 00:27:40,730
Happy to know you, Mr Edwards.
- Mr Lincoln, it is a pleasure.
400
00:27:40,945 --> 00:27:42,541
Sit down, Abe. We want to talk to you.
401
00:27:43,791 --> 00:27:45,951
Abe, how would you like to
run for the State Legislature?
402
00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:47,391
When?
- Now.
403
00:27:47,689 --> 00:27:49,584
For election in the fall.
- Why?
404
00:27:49,913 --> 00:27:51,929
The Whig party needs a
candidate from this district.
405
00:27:52,261 --> 00:27:55,298
You are the postmaster here which
gives you valuable contacts.
406
00:27:55,643 --> 00:27:59,157
By delivering mail you can also deliver
speeches and campaign literature.
407
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:01,514
With which our headquarters
will keep you supplied.
408
00:28:03,183 --> 00:28:05,515
Could you supply me with
a suit and a store of clothes?
409
00:28:05,615 --> 00:28:07,405
Your candidate mustn't look too plain.
410
00:28:08,424 --> 00:28:11,046
And what's more Abe, in the
legislature you get paid.
411
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,751
Three whole dollars a day.
412
00:28:12,851 --> 00:28:14,571
Fine money alright. No denying that.
413
00:28:14,671 --> 00:28:18,173
I see what you're getting at, Bowling.
I owe you a considerable sum.
414
00:28:18,375 --> 00:28:20,180
I'm not thinking about the debts, Abe.
415
00:28:20,372 --> 00:28:22,063
I know you ain't, Bowling. But I got to.
416
00:28:22,163 --> 00:28:24,973
I can see Mr Lincoln, that you're the
type of man who can handle anyone.
417
00:28:25,208 --> 00:28:27,074
Hmm, even the Cleary Grove boys.
418
00:28:27,489 --> 00:28:29,534
Oh, I can handle them because
I can out-wrestle them.
419
00:28:29,663 --> 00:28:32,479
But you can't go around Sangamon
County throwing all the voters.
420
00:28:35,468 --> 00:28:37,284
You want to get an
education, don't you, Abe.
421
00:28:37,407 --> 00:28:38,880
Well here is your chance to do it.
422
00:28:39,075 --> 00:28:42,124
In Vandalia you'll be associating with
all the finest lawyers in this State.
423
00:28:42,728 --> 00:28:44,639
Important men like Stephen A. Douglas.
424
00:28:44,955 --> 00:28:45,798
You'll grow.
425
00:28:46,010 --> 00:28:47,711
I thought I'd growed too much already.
426
00:28:47,963 --> 00:28:49,178
Don't listen to 'em, Abe.
427
00:28:49,532 --> 00:28:51,011
Don't let 'em get you in politics.
428
00:28:51,394 --> 00:28:56,260
They'll corrupt you the same as they
corrupt the whole danged United States.
429
00:28:56,771 --> 00:28:58,272
You are an honest man, Abe Lincoln.
430
00:28:58,746 --> 00:29:00,315
You're a good-for-nothing..
431
00:29:00,958 --> 00:29:02,741
Debt-ridden loafer.
432
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:04,260
But you're an honest man.
433
00:29:05,683 --> 00:29:07,712
Is that all you have to say, uncle Ben?
434
00:29:07,913 --> 00:29:10,138
That's all. And I hope it's enough.
435
00:29:12,189 --> 00:29:13,510
I kinda agree with him.
436
00:29:14,463 --> 00:29:16,951
Well Mr Lincoln, we don't demand
your answer immediately.
437
00:29:17,196 --> 00:29:18,112
Think it over.
438
00:29:18,548 --> 00:29:20,387
Now gentlemen, if you'll excuse me.
439
00:29:20,653 --> 00:29:23,151
I have to put in an appearance
at the torch light procession..
440
00:29:23,251 --> 00:29:25,367
In Springfield this evening
so I must be moving along.
441
00:29:27,216 --> 00:29:28,517
Just consider what it means.
442
00:29:29,017 --> 00:29:33,288
To be starting up the ladder in a nation
which is expanding south through Texas.
443
00:29:33,690 --> 00:29:35,777
And westward to the
empire of the Californias.
444
00:29:36,263 --> 00:29:37,621
It is opportunity, Mr Lincoln.
445
00:29:38,090 --> 00:29:39,769
Opportunity unlimited in scope.
446
00:29:41,174 --> 00:29:42,046
Goodbye, sir.
447
00:29:42,193 --> 00:29:44,296
Goodbye, Mr Edwards.
A pleasant journey to you.
448
00:30:06,715 --> 00:30:08,758
Goodbye, gentlemen.
- Goodbye, Ninian.
449
00:30:24,166 --> 00:30:25,058
Ann.
450
00:30:26,044 --> 00:30:26,947
What is it?
451
00:30:27,397 --> 00:30:29,562
That letter you got from New York State.
452
00:30:30,225 --> 00:30:31,726
What do you know about that letter?
453
00:30:32,086 --> 00:30:33,285
Well, I'm the postman.
454
00:30:33,385 --> 00:30:36,034
I guess I know more than I ought
to about people's private affairs.
455
00:30:37,626 --> 00:30:40,990
But I couldn't help seeing that
was the handwriting of Mr McNeil.
456
00:30:41,971 --> 00:30:43,959
Whatever the letter said
it is no concern of yours.
457
00:30:44,199 --> 00:30:47,355
I know that but it makes me sad to think
that something could have hurt you.
458
00:30:48,429 --> 00:30:49,711
If I could help you, Ann..
459
00:30:50,481 --> 00:30:51,555
You know.
460
00:30:52,661 --> 00:30:54,411
When you're distressed
about something..
461
00:30:54,511 --> 00:30:58,211
It's a comfort sometimes even to have a
pair of ears to pour your troubles into.
462
00:30:58,614 --> 00:31:00,781
My ears are big enough to hold a lot.
463
00:31:02,047 --> 00:31:03,890
You are a Christian
gentleman, Abe Lincoln.
464
00:31:04,488 --> 00:31:09,853
No, I ain't. I'm a common sucker with
a shirt-tail so short I can't sit on it.
465
00:31:10,901 --> 00:31:13,741
You can always something to
make a person laugh, can't you.
466
00:31:14,812 --> 00:31:18,057
I don't need to say anything,
a person just has to look at me.
467
00:31:19,464 --> 00:31:21,023
You were right about the letter, Abe.
468
00:31:21,647 --> 00:31:24,194
Tom says he doesn't know when he'll
be able to get back to New Salem.
469
00:31:25,394 --> 00:31:26,843
By which, he probably means..
470
00:31:27,616 --> 00:31:28,288
Never.
471
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,831
I wouldn't say that, Ann.
472
00:31:30,157 --> 00:31:30,886
I would.
473
00:31:32,063 --> 00:31:33,609
Do you love him so much?
474
00:31:34,806 --> 00:31:35,764
I thought I did.
475
00:31:36,295 --> 00:31:38,397
But I guess I couldn't really
love anyone who was as..
476
00:31:39,530 --> 00:31:40,684
Faithless as that.
477
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:42,641
You see.
478
00:31:42,996 --> 00:31:45,006
I can't help thinking what
they're saying about me.
479
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,501
All the old gossips all over town.
480
00:31:48,257 --> 00:31:50,097
Oh, just weakness, I guess.
481
00:31:51,127 --> 00:31:51,920
Vanity.
482
00:31:52,381 --> 00:31:54,093
Something you couldn't understand, Abe.
483
00:31:54,869 --> 00:31:56,744
Maybe I can understand it, Ann.
484
00:32:01,744 --> 00:32:03,630
I got a kind of vanity myself.
485
00:32:03,963 --> 00:32:04,892
I guess it's..
486
00:32:05,024 --> 00:32:08,944
Nothing but vanity that's kept me from
declaring my inclination towards you.
487
00:32:10,178 --> 00:32:13,584
I don't like to be sniggered at either.
I know what I am and what I look like.
488
00:32:13,871 --> 00:32:17,268
I know I've got nothing to offer
any girl I could be in love with.
489
00:32:19,356 --> 00:32:21,383
Are you saying you're
in love with me, Abe?
490
00:32:24,141 --> 00:32:24,778
Yes.
491
00:32:25,502 --> 00:32:26,488
I am saying that.
492
00:32:28,143 --> 00:32:31,203
I've been loving you for a
long time with all my heart.
493
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,513
You see Ann, you're
a particularly fine girl.
494
00:32:39,721 --> 00:32:42,437
But.. I don't want to
worry you about it.
495
00:32:43,198 --> 00:32:46,968
I only thought if you'd do me the honor
to keep company with me for a while..
496
00:32:47,068 --> 00:32:49,229
It might shut the old gossip's mouths.
497
00:32:49,626 --> 00:32:52,625
They'd figure you'd chucked
McNeil for someone else.
498
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:54,212
Even me.
499
00:32:56,142 --> 00:32:59,805
Do you think I was too forward
in speaking out as I did?
500
00:33:01,594 --> 00:33:02,434
No, Abe.
501
00:33:04,452 --> 00:33:05,979
I've always thought a lot of you.
502
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:08,352
The way I thought you were.
503
00:33:09,014 --> 00:33:11,090
But the idea of love
between you and me..
504
00:33:11,723 --> 00:33:13,517
I can't say how I feel about that.
505
00:33:15,117 --> 00:33:17,034
But I can tell you this much now.
506
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:18,796
And truthfully.
507
00:33:20,111 --> 00:33:21,430
If I ever do love you.
508
00:33:22,196 --> 00:33:23,549
I'll be happy about it.
509
00:33:24,125 --> 00:33:26,801
And lucky to loving a good, decent man.
510
00:33:30,025 --> 00:33:32,941
You will.. just give me a
little time to think about it.
511
00:33:33,317 --> 00:33:35,757
You mean if you took time
you might get in your heart..
512
00:33:35,857 --> 00:33:38,371
Something like the
feeling I have for you?
513
00:33:39,131 --> 00:33:40,237
I don't know, Abe.
514
00:33:43,909 --> 00:33:45,054
But I do know.
515
00:33:45,906 --> 00:33:48,002
You are a man who
could fill anyone's heart.
516
00:33:49,835 --> 00:33:50,730
Yes. Fill it.
517
00:33:52,455 --> 00:33:53,415
And warm it.
518
00:33:55,004 --> 00:33:56,711
And make it glad to be living.
519
00:35:21,012 --> 00:35:24,281
What's the matter with you, Abe?
You the guest of honor. Not dancing.
520
00:35:24,531 --> 00:35:26,752
I'd like to, but my feet
won't work right.
521
00:35:32,332 --> 00:35:35,474
Ann Rutledge sure is
acting gay as she knows.
522
00:35:36,098 --> 00:35:39,194
She is just trying to hide
the misery in her heart.
523
00:35:39,821 --> 00:35:42,327
They tell me that locket is
the one John McNeil gave her.
524
00:35:42,669 --> 00:35:44,581
She ought to forget him, I say.
525
00:35:45,613 --> 00:35:47,479
I reckon she wishes she could.
526
00:36:32,872 --> 00:36:33,975
Get some water, Abe.
527
00:36:36,342 --> 00:36:38,873
She's alright, Doc. The excitement
was just a little too much for her.
528
00:36:50,266 --> 00:36:51,395
Here's the water, Doc.
529
00:36:51,964 --> 00:36:52,807
Thanks, Abe.
530
00:36:58,981 --> 00:37:00,171
She'll be alright, Doc?
531
00:37:00,526 --> 00:37:02,434
Oh, I don't think there's
need for any worry.
532
00:37:03,189 --> 00:37:04,547
Better be getting her on home.
533
00:37:15,011 --> 00:37:16,026
It's alright, Ann.
534
00:37:19,264 --> 00:37:20,596
I don't know what happened.
535
00:37:21,201 --> 00:37:22,376
I'm alright, Abe.
536
00:37:23,505 --> 00:37:24,576
I feel fine now.
537
00:37:27,922 --> 00:37:30,253
Ain't you noticed whether
she's been ailing any lately?
538
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:33,557
Well, she seemed kind of droopy,
but we didn't think much of it.
539
00:37:34,057 --> 00:37:35,530
Why, do you think she's took sick?
540
00:37:35,634 --> 00:37:37,357
Oh, there is no cause for alarm, but..
541
00:37:37,916 --> 00:37:40,014
Just to be on the safe side,
I'll ride back with you.
542
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,400
I was scared.
543
00:37:48,142 --> 00:37:49,588
You needn't be, Abe.
544
00:37:50,686 --> 00:37:52,336
I'm sorry I made such a fool of myself.
545
00:37:55,146 --> 00:37:57,507
You mustn't think of anything
but winning that election.
546
00:37:58,766 --> 00:37:59,924
You've got to win, Abe.
547
00:38:01,508 --> 00:38:03,071
I'll be cheering for you when you do.
548
00:38:04,562 --> 00:38:05,491
Goodnight, Abe.
549
00:38:06,092 --> 00:38:06,867
Thanks.
550
00:38:07,722 --> 00:38:08,651
Goodnight, Ann.
551
00:38:11,930 --> 00:38:13,057
Goodnight, Abe.
552
00:38:20,430 --> 00:38:23,721
Down in Kentucky where I was
born was pretty wild country.
553
00:38:24,189 --> 00:38:25,392
And wild people in it.
554
00:38:25,798 --> 00:38:27,059
I heard tell of a..
555
00:38:27,399 --> 00:38:32,836
Woman who opened her door one day to
see her husband grappling a fierce bear.
556
00:38:33,163 --> 00:38:35,652
It was a fight to the death
and the bear was winning.
557
00:38:36,199 --> 00:38:39,417
The struggling husband cried to his
wife: for heaven's sake do something.
558
00:38:39,791 --> 00:38:41,350
The wife asked: "What could she do?".
559
00:38:41,469 --> 00:38:44,120
Said the husband: "You could at
least say something encouraging".
560
00:38:44,915 --> 00:38:48,366
But the wife not wishing to take
sides in this combat hollered:
561
00:38:48,558 --> 00:38:50,426
"Go it, husband. Go it bear."
562
00:38:53,699 --> 00:38:55,482
Now that's the way I'll be if elected.
563
00:38:55,683 --> 00:38:57,326
I'll be like the man's wife.
564
00:38:57,548 --> 00:39:01,510
I'll cheer for everybody so I'm
sure to be on the winning side.
565
00:39:04,874 --> 00:39:06,118
Where are you going, Abe?
566
00:39:06,464 --> 00:39:08,051
Come on, let's finish with the voting.
567
00:39:08,215 --> 00:39:09,851
We can't be all night about this.
568
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:12,873
What does the doctor say, Jack?
569
00:39:13,561 --> 00:39:14,856
It's a brain fever, Abe.
570
00:39:16,017 --> 00:39:17,278
She's pretty bad.
571
00:39:19,233 --> 00:39:20,352
Thank you, Jack.
572
00:39:32,538 --> 00:39:34,958
Who are you voting for?
- I'm voting for Abe Lincoln.
573
00:39:35,336 --> 00:39:36,212
That's good.
574
00:39:38,981 --> 00:39:40,293
Who you voting for, Trum?
575
00:39:41,059 --> 00:39:41,788
For Abe.
576
00:39:42,145 --> 00:39:42,827
Who?
577
00:39:43,075 --> 00:39:44,979
I said I'm voting for Mr Lincoln.
578
00:39:45,551 --> 00:39:46,426
You'd better.
579
00:39:49,349 --> 00:39:51,451
Therefore, his sister said unto him.
580
00:39:52,211 --> 00:39:53,862
Saying: "Lord behold".
581
00:39:54,763 --> 00:39:56,851
"He who now lovest is sacred."
582
00:39:57,198 --> 00:39:58,577
"When Jesus heart that."
583
00:39:59,226 --> 00:40:00,016
"He said."
584
00:40:00,463 --> 00:40:02,181
"This sickness is not unto death."
585
00:40:02,874 --> 00:40:04,383
"But for the glory of God."
586
00:40:05,058 --> 00:40:08,528
"That the Son of God might
be glorified thereby."
587
00:40:44,068 --> 00:40:45,140
You have come to me.
588
00:40:46,650 --> 00:40:47,980
When I wanted you so much.
589
00:40:50,834 --> 00:40:51,964
Come close to me.
590
00:41:00,370 --> 00:41:02,013
Tell me we will be happy.
591
00:41:03,262 --> 00:41:04,592
We're going to be happy, Ann.
592
00:41:05,963 --> 00:41:08,423
I know I've got less than
nothing to offer you.
593
00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:11,821
But whatever I am.
594
00:41:12,919 --> 00:41:14,047
Whatever I can be.
595
00:41:15,019 --> 00:41:19,626
My life belongs to you and it
always will until the day I die.
596
00:41:23,048 --> 00:41:24,165
I love you.
597
00:41:25,925 --> 00:41:27,165
Oh, I do love you.
598
00:41:29,516 --> 00:41:31,569
I knew you would come back to me.
599
00:41:33,247 --> 00:41:35,541
Don't ever go away from me again.
600
00:41:38,506 --> 00:41:40,074
We will be happy.
601
00:42:09,339 --> 00:42:12,489
Abe carried New Salem by 205 votes to 3.
602
00:42:12,687 --> 00:42:15,267
My boys are out trying to find
the 3 skunks who voted wrong.
603
00:42:25,884 --> 00:42:27,013
Get her tight, Fergus.
604
00:42:27,367 --> 00:42:29,305
Higher up Bob so we can see her.
605
00:42:34,265 --> 00:42:35,137
No you don't.
606
00:42:35,379 --> 00:42:37,226
I don't wear no soup kettle for nobody.
607
00:42:37,482 --> 00:42:39,814
You ain't no better than Abe
Lincoln and he's wearing one.
608
00:42:40,812 --> 00:42:42,547
Alright boys, here we go!
609
00:42:42,808 --> 00:42:45,903
Down to Judge Green's house
to pick up the new legislator.
610
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,157
They are coming, Abe.
611
00:43:35,911 --> 00:43:38,118
"A large mass meeting
in Boston Massachusetts."
612
00:43:38,714 --> 00:43:42,413
"Many orators paid tribute to the heroic
memory of the late Elijah Lovejoy."
613
00:43:43,105 --> 00:43:44,749
"Thousands of New Englanders shouted.."
614
00:43:44,982 --> 00:43:46,111
"He shall be avenged."
615
00:43:47,395 --> 00:43:50,279
I wonder what the great Stephen A.
Douglas has got to say to that.
616
00:43:51,056 --> 00:43:53,616
The great Stephen A. Douglas
has this much to say.
617
00:43:54,986 --> 00:43:57,930
Freedom of the press is all very
well until liberty becomes licensed.
618
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,665
Lovejoy's life would have been spared if
he'd listened to the dictates of reason.
619
00:44:01,875 --> 00:44:03,876
Instead of his own
rip-roaring fanaticism.
620
00:44:04,663 --> 00:44:05,434
But..
621
00:44:06,077 --> 00:44:08,483
Perhaps my good friend
Abe Lincoln doesn't agree?
622
00:44:08,737 --> 00:44:11,363
I agree that Lovejoy should
have listened to reason.
623
00:44:12,020 --> 00:44:15,291
If he had to be silenced I'd have
preferred it had been done by the law.
624
00:44:15,544 --> 00:44:17,816
Instead of a crowd
of bloodthirsty killers.
625
00:44:18,107 --> 00:44:21,011
Still straddling the fence, eh?
That won't help you to get re-elected.
626
00:44:21,342 --> 00:44:23,414
I'm afraid nothing can help me.
I'm not running.
627
00:44:24,041 --> 00:44:25,714
You are quitting the legislature?
- Yep.
628
00:44:25,945 --> 00:44:28,467
Why Abe, I'm distressed. We'll miss you.
629
00:44:28,655 --> 00:44:30,411
Sorry to cause you distress, Steve.
630
00:44:30,784 --> 00:44:31,913
What will you do, Abe?
631
00:44:32,523 --> 00:44:35,846
Judge Stuart has offered me a chance to
work in his law office in Springfield.
632
00:44:36,026 --> 00:44:37,785
Of course, I don't know
much about the law.
633
00:44:38,089 --> 00:44:40,957
But there is one thing I've
learned here in politics. That is..
634
00:44:41,535 --> 00:44:43,973
Ignorance is no obstacle to advancement.
635
00:44:44,852 --> 00:44:47,521
In fact, in some cases
it's quite an advantage.
636
00:44:49,602 --> 00:44:50,946
Good day everybody.
637
00:45:03,910 --> 00:45:05,641
Hello Billy Herndon.
- Hello.
638
00:45:16,026 --> 00:45:16,869
Hello Billy.
639
00:45:46,816 --> 00:45:48,475
Nice day isn't it, Mr Herndon.
640
00:45:49,294 --> 00:45:50,833
Why, yes it is.
641
00:45:51,551 --> 00:45:52,869
Where have you been, Billy?
642
00:45:53,883 --> 00:45:56,888
I had to go downstairs about
that writ in the Wilcox case.
643
00:45:57,475 --> 00:46:00,339
If you only went downstairs,
why'd you wear your hat?
644
00:46:02,427 --> 00:46:05,702
As a matter of fact I stopped in
at the Chenery House saloon.
645
00:46:06,518 --> 00:46:07,447
Careful, Billy.
646
00:46:07,779 --> 00:46:10,787
You got great fires in you but
you're putting them out fast.
647
00:46:12,063 --> 00:46:12,821
Yes, sir.
648
00:46:15,490 --> 00:46:16,786
I saw Ninian Edwards, sir.
649
00:46:18,171 --> 00:46:19,885
He invited you to
his party this evening.
650
00:46:20,766 --> 00:46:22,296
It's getting quite a habit with him.
651
00:46:22,455 --> 00:46:23,832
What's the occasion this time?
652
00:46:24,276 --> 00:46:27,792
He wants you to meet his sister-in-law
Mary Todd, who's arrived from Kentucky.
653
00:46:28,084 --> 00:46:31,536
You don't say so. Well, I am
becoming a social success.
654
00:46:31,896 --> 00:46:33,316
Yes, Mr Lincoln. You are.
655
00:46:34,021 --> 00:46:35,322
And I'm afraid you enjoy it.
656
00:46:36,687 --> 00:46:39,124
The Todd family are
mighty high class people.
657
00:46:39,730 --> 00:46:41,297
They spell their name with two "D"s.
658
00:46:41,397 --> 00:46:44,844
Which is pretty impressive when you
consider one was enough for God.
659
00:47:03,259 --> 00:47:06,893
Good evening, Mrs Edwards. How stunning
you look in that magnificent new gown.
660
00:47:06,993 --> 00:47:09,303
A dress like that must have come
all the way from Cincinnati.
661
00:47:09,403 --> 00:47:12,433
My sister brought it from Louisville.
A present from my dear Papa.
662
00:47:12,634 --> 00:47:14,021
Good evening, Steve.
- Ninian.
663
00:47:14,166 --> 00:47:17,713
Mary my dear, may I present our most
eloquent citizen Mr Stephen Douglas.
664
00:47:18,330 --> 00:47:20,227
Mr Douglas, I am honored.
- Miss Todd.
665
00:47:20,688 --> 00:47:22,916
Your brother-in-law has just now
described me as eloquent.
666
00:47:23,016 --> 00:47:24,632
But alas I must now prove him wrong.
667
00:47:25,291 --> 00:47:27,867
Standing as I am in the presence
of a penetrating intelligence.
668
00:47:28,130 --> 00:47:30,773
Such devastating charm,
I am rendered speechless.
669
00:47:31,576 --> 00:47:33,183
I can hardly believe it.
670
00:47:55,238 --> 00:47:57,738
Ninian, I thought you were going
to have that thing raised up.
671
00:47:58,023 --> 00:48:00,841
It wouldn't make a difference if he had.
He'd have knocked over something else.
672
00:48:01,931 --> 00:48:04,434
Mr Lincoln is more at home in the
backwoods than in the drawing room.
673
00:48:04,848 --> 00:48:06,140
How do you do, Mr Lincoln.
674
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:08,312
Well so far, I haven't been
doing so well, thank you.
675
00:48:08,500 --> 00:48:09,658
Never mind, Mr Lincoln.
676
00:48:09,837 --> 00:48:14,291
I'm sure the other gentlemen envy you
being tall enough to hit the chandelier.
677
00:48:14,517 --> 00:48:17,079
Miss Todd, I want you to know
that I resent that bitterly.
678
00:48:17,352 --> 00:48:18,733
Hello Abe.
- Evening, Steve.
679
00:48:18,833 --> 00:48:20,306
Still got the same old coat, Abe?
680
00:48:20,406 --> 00:48:22,488
Got kind of attached to it.
- Seems a little short.
681
00:48:22,782 --> 00:48:24,566
It will be longer before I get another.
682
00:48:24,835 --> 00:48:26,763
Abe is what you might
call a self-made man.
683
00:48:26,980 --> 00:48:29,448
Well, I guess my parents ought
to take some of the blame.
684
00:48:29,660 --> 00:48:32,549
When I first knew him he was behind
the counter selling whiskey and rum.
685
00:48:32,847 --> 00:48:35,584
And intoxicating the customers
with his own raw humor.
686
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,572
You see Miss Todd, I was
always behind the bar and..
687
00:48:38,848 --> 00:48:40,592
Steve Douglas was always in front of it.
688
00:48:44,492 --> 00:48:47,282
Something tells me I
shouldn't have started this.
689
00:48:48,626 --> 00:48:49,927
So I said to Daniel Webster.
690
00:48:50,107 --> 00:48:51,952
You may stand where
you like in Massachusetts.
691
00:48:52,224 --> 00:48:54,443
But you'll meet your downfall
out here in Illinois.
692
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,353
I can understand why they
speak of you as the little giant.
693
00:48:58,657 --> 00:48:59,930
Better be careful, Stephen.
694
00:49:00,275 --> 00:49:01,978
Mary is just as ambitious as you are.
695
00:49:02,232 --> 00:49:04,010
My sister has made
no secret of the fact..
696
00:49:04,357 --> 00:49:06,717
That the man she marries will be
President of The United States.
697
00:49:06,899 --> 00:49:08,601
Well I'm delighted
to hear it, Miss Todd.
698
00:49:08,765 --> 00:49:12,263
I've been looking for the perfect First
Lady as my consort in the White House.
699
00:49:12,632 --> 00:49:13,852
And now I've found her.
700
00:49:14,213 --> 00:49:16,682
Really? But you should give
that out to the newspapers.
701
00:49:16,994 --> 00:49:19,526
"Stephen A. Douglas consents
to become President."
702
00:49:20,824 --> 00:49:21,497
I..
703
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:24,116
Seem to need a little more refreshment.
704
00:49:27,452 --> 00:49:28,734
You are very sweet.
705
00:49:38,785 --> 00:49:41,069
Well, one night there was a
gathering of all the grandees.
706
00:49:41,324 --> 00:49:43,276
You know, one of these
high-toned shindigs.
707
00:49:43,561 --> 00:49:46,333
All the girls in town were there
and the handsome widows..
708
00:49:46,589 --> 00:49:49,277
And married women finicking
about trying to look like girls.
709
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,463
They were all tied together in the
middle and popped out both ends.
710
00:49:53,693 --> 00:49:55,743
Like bundles of fodder
waiting to be stacked.
711
00:49:56,064 --> 00:49:57,676
And wanting stacking pretty bad.
712
00:49:58,366 --> 00:49:59,425
And I'm hauling..
713
00:50:04,533 --> 00:50:07,553
Well it started out
to be a political story.
714
00:50:08,366 --> 00:50:11,030
And quite amusing too.
Don't you think, gentlemen.
715
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,639
But I think it is my turn to
monopolise you for a while.
716
00:50:22,166 --> 00:50:23,667
Has Mary taken leave of her senses?
717
00:50:23,991 --> 00:50:25,521
Devoting herself to that Mr Lincoln.
718
00:50:25,621 --> 00:50:27,695
When we have most eligible
gentlemen here to meet her.
719
00:50:27,795 --> 00:50:30,060
Perhaps Abe amuses her, my dear.
720
00:50:30,652 --> 00:50:32,466
My sister is a well-bred young lady.
721
00:50:36,777 --> 00:50:37,378
No.
722
00:50:37,930 --> 00:50:40,216
No, Mr Lincoln. I'm not laughing at you.
723
00:50:40,952 --> 00:50:43,598
I'm sure your mother must
have been a wonderful woman.
724
00:50:44,642 --> 00:50:46,084
How old were you when she died?
725
00:50:46,755 --> 00:50:47,638
I was seven.
726
00:50:48,062 --> 00:50:49,643
The milk-sick got her. Poor creature.
727
00:50:50,482 --> 00:50:53,708
I helped Pa make the coffin. Whittled
the pegs with my own jack-knife.
728
00:50:54,804 --> 00:50:57,683
We buried her in a timber
clearing beside my grandmother.
729
00:50:58,276 --> 00:51:00,398
I used to go there often
to look at the place.
730
00:51:01,469 --> 00:51:05,027
I used to watch the deer running
over her grave with their little feet.
731
00:51:07,533 --> 00:51:09,281
I never could kill a deer after that.
732
00:51:10,847 --> 00:51:11,605
Once I..
733
00:51:12,053 --> 00:51:16,217
Got a licking from Pa because when he
aimed at a deer I knocked his gun up.
734
00:51:19,911 --> 00:51:21,964
This is no way to behave in society.
735
00:51:22,151 --> 00:51:24,338
Taking about the backwoods I come from.
736
00:51:25,426 --> 00:51:27,774
It is just the way
to behave, Mr Lincoln.
737
00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:30,500
Please tell me some more
about the lickings you got.
738
00:51:33,843 --> 00:51:38,782
"What has caused this great
commotion? Motion, motion."
739
00:51:39,629 --> 00:51:41,816
"Our country through.."
740
00:51:52,403 --> 00:51:53,583
Notice the name, Billy?
741
00:51:53,958 --> 00:51:55,592
Here. Right down at the bottom.
742
00:51:55,923 --> 00:51:57,004
Boasting, huh?
743
00:51:57,635 --> 00:51:58,450
Bowling!
744
00:51:59,598 --> 00:52:02,820
How are you, Bowling?
- Sorry we're late, but glad to see you.
745
00:52:03,095 --> 00:52:05,994
Glad to see you. This is Billy Hernden.
Squire Green from New Salem.
746
00:52:06,251 --> 00:52:08,507
Proud to know you, sir.
Mr Lincoln speaks of you constantly.
747
00:52:08,607 --> 00:52:09,736
Thank you, Mr Hernden.
748
00:52:09,921 --> 00:52:11,712
Are you a lawyer too?
- I hope to be, sir.
749
00:52:11,901 --> 00:52:13,946
I am serving here as clerk
in Judge Stuart's absence.
750
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:17,455
So now you're teaching others, Abe?
- No, just setting a bad example.
751
00:52:17,716 --> 00:52:20,636
How is that blessed wife of yours?
- Nancy is as busy as ever.
752
00:52:20,998 --> 00:52:24,605
And more than ever concerned about
your innermost hopes and yearnings.
753
00:52:24,961 --> 00:52:27,457
You can tell her I'm becoming
a person of importance.
754
00:52:27,889 --> 00:52:29,974
Yes sir. If old Tippecanoe
wins next fall..
755
00:52:30,074 --> 00:52:31,984
I'll be a member of
the electoral college.
756
00:52:32,084 --> 00:52:33,546
Is that the best you can do?
757
00:52:33,753 --> 00:52:35,512
You and Billy should
get better acquainted.
758
00:52:35,772 --> 00:52:38,835
He's pretty disgusted with me too.
Says I've no ambition.
759
00:52:39,013 --> 00:52:41,325
I associate with the
wrong kind of people.
760
00:52:41,722 --> 00:52:45,193
He can't stand a man who keeps his mouth
shut and abides by the constitution.
761
00:52:45,494 --> 00:52:47,615
If he had his way the whole
Union would be set on fire.
762
00:52:47,715 --> 00:52:49,733
And we'd all be burnt
to a crisp. Eh, Billy?
763
00:52:50,153 --> 00:52:51,204
Yes, Mr Lincoln.
764
00:52:51,535 --> 00:52:53,324
If you'll permit me to say so.
765
00:52:53,700 --> 00:52:55,614
I think you'd be more
use to your fellow men..
766
00:52:55,714 --> 00:52:58,500
If you allowed some of the same
incendiary impulses to come out in you.
767
00:52:58,600 --> 00:52:59,879
You hear that, Bowling?
768
00:52:59,979 --> 00:53:03,610
I'm surprised at you, Abe.
I thought you were opposed to slavery.
769
00:53:04,241 --> 00:53:05,824
I am opposed to slavery.
770
00:53:07,155 --> 00:53:09,695
But I'm even more opposed
to getting myself into trouble.
771
00:53:09,928 --> 00:53:12,705
Why don't you run for Congress, Abe?
- If I did I might get elected.
772
00:53:12,805 --> 00:53:13,984
I'd be in Washington.
773
00:53:14,084 --> 00:53:17,408
Then I might have to cast my vote on
the terrible issues of war or peace.
774
00:53:17,765 --> 00:53:19,275
And what attitude would I take?
775
00:53:19,860 --> 00:53:23,026
The "liberal" attitude of course.
And what is the "liberal" attitude?
776
00:53:23,828 --> 00:53:27,254
To go to war for a tract of
land or a moral principle..
777
00:53:27,354 --> 00:53:29,424
Or to avoid war at all costs.
778
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:31,656
No sir, Bowling.
779
00:53:32,109 --> 00:53:35,380
I'm no fighting man. I found that out
when I went through the Blackhawk war.
780
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,780
And was terrified I might have
to fire a shot at an Indian.
781
00:53:37,975 --> 00:53:40,969
Fortunately, the Indians felt the same
way, so I never saw any of them.
782
00:53:47,796 --> 00:53:48,855
Excuse me, Bowling.
783
00:53:58,710 --> 00:54:00,437
That's his trouble. Women.
784
00:54:00,752 --> 00:54:04,011
Well I should say that's
the.. liberal attitude.
785
00:54:13,997 --> 00:54:15,727
I cannot and will not
stand it any longer.
786
00:54:15,828 --> 00:54:18,068
All this ridiculous
gossip must be silenced.
787
00:54:18,461 --> 00:54:20,943
Well after all, the gossip does
none of us any harm, my dear.
788
00:54:21,341 --> 00:54:24,440
I ask you to keep out of this, Ninian.
This is between my sister and myself.
789
00:54:24,964 --> 00:54:26,600
Nevertheless, Ninian is right.
790
00:54:27,233 --> 00:54:31,069
I ask you to deny once and for all that
you've ever given one moment's thought.
791
00:54:31,314 --> 00:54:33,130
To the idea of marriage
with Abraham Lincoln.
792
00:54:33,347 --> 00:54:36,310
Oh, but I have. I've given
many months thought to it.
793
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,812
And I've decided that I
shall be "Mrs Lincoln."
794
00:54:41,133 --> 00:54:41,776
Mary!
795
00:54:42,221 --> 00:54:43,921
Does it shock you so deeply, Elisabeth?
796
00:54:44,139 --> 00:54:44,982
And why not?
797
00:54:45,288 --> 00:54:47,076
Marrying him would
mean life in a log cabin.
798
00:54:47,221 --> 00:54:48,809
With no servants, no decent clothes.
799
00:54:49,143 --> 00:54:51,829
You expect me to do
precisely what you've done.
800
00:54:52,201 --> 00:54:56,138
Marry a rich well-bred gentleman like
Ninian. Live in a fine house like this.
801
00:54:57,444 --> 00:55:00,288
A house with a fence around it
to keep out the common herd.
802
00:55:00,896 --> 00:55:04,288
And also to prevent you from
escaping from your own narrow life.
803
00:55:04,810 --> 00:55:08,181
Well, with all due respect
to my dear brother-in-law.
804
00:55:08,778 --> 00:55:11,350
I don't want that and
I won't have it. Never.
805
00:55:12,274 --> 00:55:16,279
In Abraham Lincoln I see a man who would
split rails for other men's fences.
806
00:55:16,859 --> 00:55:19,336
But who will never build
one around himself.
807
00:55:19,684 --> 00:55:23,200
You talk with a kind of irresponsibility
that's not far from sheer madness.
808
00:55:23,544 --> 00:55:26,946
You've never made a move to change
your condition or to improve it.
809
00:55:27,262 --> 00:55:29,279
You consider that it
couldn't be improved.
810
00:55:29,758 --> 00:55:31,788
To you all this represents perfection.
811
00:55:32,114 --> 00:55:33,256
Well it doesn't to me.
812
00:55:33,864 --> 00:55:37,276
I want a chance to shape a new
life for myself and for my husband.
813
00:55:37,898 --> 00:55:39,373
Is that irresponsibility?
814
00:55:39,936 --> 00:55:42,879
How far will you go with a man
like that? Lazy and shiftless.
815
00:55:43,183 --> 00:55:45,036
Forever stopping along
the way to tell jokes.
816
00:55:45,136 --> 00:55:47,721
He will not stop if I am strong
enough to make him go on.
817
00:55:48,567 --> 00:55:49,701
And I am strong.
818
00:55:51,327 --> 00:55:54,443
I'll admit he seems to have no
conception of his own power.
819
00:55:55,077 --> 00:55:56,766
Or if he has, he's afraid to face it.
820
00:55:57,963 --> 00:55:58,902
I'm not afraid.
821
00:55:59,806 --> 00:56:02,698
I'm ready to fight to make
him fulfil his destiny.
822
00:56:03,602 --> 00:56:06,630
Even if you and all your
world despise me for it.
823
00:56:08,506 --> 00:56:11,150
Ah, merely a small point Mary, but..
824
00:56:12,039 --> 00:56:14,440
I suppose you've communicated
your decision to Abe?
825
00:56:14,895 --> 00:56:15,624
Not yet.
826
00:56:15,887 --> 00:56:18,394
But when he comes this evening and
he should be here at any moment.
827
00:56:18,931 --> 00:56:20,646
He will ask for my hand in marriage.
828
00:56:21,089 --> 00:56:23,453
After I've displayed the
appropriate amount of..
829
00:56:23,864 --> 00:56:25,366
Surprise and confusion.
830
00:56:25,712 --> 00:56:27,906
I shall murmur timidly: Yes.
831
00:56:29,552 --> 00:56:31,974
Oh, this is positively humiliating.
832
00:56:32,326 --> 00:56:33,543
Mr Lincoln, ma'am.
833
00:56:36,970 --> 00:56:38,158
Tell Mr Lincoln that..
834
00:56:38,258 --> 00:56:39,464
I shall see him.
835
00:56:47,421 --> 00:56:48,309
Show him in.
836
00:56:50,540 --> 00:56:51,870
Will you step in, Mr Lincoln.
837
00:56:52,888 --> 00:56:53,874
Thank you, ma'am.
838
00:56:56,282 --> 00:56:57,579
Good evening, Mrs Edwards.
839
00:56:57,679 --> 00:56:58,723
Evening, Miss Todd.
840
00:56:58,888 --> 00:56:59,999
Ninian, good evening.
841
00:57:00,265 --> 00:57:01,623
Good evening.
- Good evening.
842
00:57:02,322 --> 00:57:03,423
Glad to see you, Abe.
843
00:57:03,534 --> 00:57:04,971
And now if you'll excuse us.
844
00:57:05,164 --> 00:57:08,280
Elisabeth and I must hear the children's
prayers and see them safely abed.
845
00:57:08,380 --> 00:57:09,922
I'd like to hear their prayers, too.
846
00:57:10,022 --> 00:57:12,038
Oh no. You'd only keep them
awake with your stories.
847
00:57:12,219 --> 00:57:14,591
Come along, Elisabeth.
- Well, kiss them goodnight for me.
848
00:57:15,272 --> 00:57:15,915
Mary.
849
00:57:16,015 --> 00:57:17,662
Won't you come with us to say goodnight?
850
00:57:17,762 --> 00:57:20,451
No, no my dear. Leave Mary
here to keep Abe entertained.
851
00:57:25,855 --> 00:57:28,588
I don't blame Ninian for keeping
you away from those children.
852
00:57:28,846 --> 00:57:30,498
They certainly adore you.
853
00:57:30,914 --> 00:57:32,125
You understand them.
854
00:57:33,032 --> 00:57:34,500
That is the important thing.
855
00:57:34,756 --> 00:57:36,462
But do sit down, Mr Lincoln.
856
00:57:38,202 --> 00:57:39,132
Here. By me.
857
00:57:43,214 --> 00:57:44,000
Thank you.
858
00:57:44,538 --> 00:57:45,339
I will.
859
00:58:00,278 --> 00:58:02,525
Happy new year, gentlemen!
Happy new year!
860
00:58:08,130 --> 00:58:11,105
She's exactly like that, Billy.
Whatever Abe lacks, she'll make up for.
861
00:58:11,375 --> 00:58:12,852
She has drive and perseverance.
862
00:58:13,620 --> 00:58:15,470
She'll make him fulfil his destiny.
863
00:58:15,756 --> 00:58:17,287
I'm glad to hear that, Mr Edwards.
864
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,192
Here is to your health, sir.
- To yours.
865
00:58:22,268 --> 00:58:23,264
Happy new year.
866
00:58:24,211 --> 00:58:25,833
How are you, Steve? Happy new year.
867
00:58:25,933 --> 00:58:27,949
Happy new year and give
me a drink quickly, my host.
868
00:58:28,081 --> 00:58:30,186
That is spiced rum-punch
or eggnog, Mr Douglas?
869
00:58:30,501 --> 00:58:32,928
I'll have a glass of some of each
and then I'll make up my mind.
870
00:58:34,025 --> 00:58:35,806
Well Ninian, where is
the lucky bridegroom?
871
00:58:35,906 --> 00:58:38,486
Abe? He wouldn't come here.
Seems to be in one of his gloomy moods.
872
00:58:38,703 --> 00:58:41,607
Ah, just nervousness I expect.
- Everything is ready for the ceremony.
873
00:58:41,782 --> 00:58:45,065
Elisabeth prepared a bang-up supper and
the whole affair will go off handsomely.
874
00:58:45,307 --> 00:58:47,676
You will be there of course?
- Ah yes. I am good sportsman.
875
00:58:47,986 --> 00:58:49,554
I'll swallow my mortification.
876
00:58:49,860 --> 00:58:51,276
And that's not all I'll swallow.
877
00:58:51,552 --> 00:58:52,453
To begin with.
878
00:58:52,636 --> 00:58:54,366
I ask you to join me
in a toast gentlemen.
879
00:58:54,538 --> 00:58:57,278
To the fairest flower of all
Kentucky. Miss Mary Todd.
880
00:58:57,572 --> 00:58:58,673
Who from this day on.
881
00:58:58,851 --> 00:59:00,300
Will be Mrs Abraham Lincoln.
882
00:59:00,563 --> 00:59:01,817
To Mary Todd!
883
00:59:08,717 --> 00:59:10,306
Happy new year, Mr Lincoln.
884
00:59:10,707 --> 00:59:11,686
Mr Speed.
885
00:59:12,385 --> 00:59:13,820
Happy new year to you, Billy.
886
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,622
I've just been over to
the Chenery House.
887
00:59:15,745 --> 00:59:17,700
They are all drinking
toasts to your happiness.
888
00:59:18,234 --> 00:59:20,519
I wish to have a private
toast of my own.
889
00:59:22,108 --> 00:59:24,706
Mr Lincoln.. when first I heard
of your approaching marriage..
890
00:59:24,806 --> 00:59:26,902
I confess I was afraid you
were lowering yourself.
891
00:59:27,345 --> 00:59:29,610
Trading your honor for
exalted family connection.
892
00:59:30,225 --> 00:59:31,976
I apologise for so thinking.
893
00:59:33,387 --> 00:59:36,417
I now believe that Miss Todd's ambitions
for you are the same as my own.
894
00:59:36,888 --> 00:59:39,330
I believe that she will never
stop driving and goading you..
895
00:59:39,430 --> 00:59:41,496
Until you have reached the
heights where you belong.
896
00:59:41,781 --> 00:59:43,937
I say God bless her
and give her strength.
897
00:59:44,517 --> 00:59:45,590
And I drink to her.
898
00:59:45,690 --> 00:59:48,146
And to her husband, the future
President of The United States.
899
00:59:48,356 --> 00:59:49,297
Put that away.
900
00:59:51,964 --> 00:59:54,114
Billy, I have a letter
I wish you to deliver.
901
00:59:54,565 --> 00:59:55,323
A letter?
902
00:59:55,616 --> 00:59:56,345
To whom?
903
00:59:56,758 --> 00:59:57,716
You do it, Jack.
904
01:00:06,424 --> 01:00:08,150
You had no right to do that!
- Maybe not.
905
01:00:09,007 --> 01:00:09,908
But it's done.
906
01:00:10,029 --> 01:00:12,446
And don't look at me as though you
were planning to break my neck.
907
01:00:13,006 --> 01:00:14,307
I knew you could do it, Abe.
908
01:00:14,648 --> 01:00:15,549
But you won't.
909
01:00:21,860 --> 01:00:25,147
Mr Lincoln asked me to deliver a letter
to Miss Todd, but I refused to do so.
910
01:00:25,572 --> 01:00:27,383
He was writing her
to ask for his release..
911
01:00:27,483 --> 01:00:30,295
From a marriage which would only lead to
endless pain and misery for them both.
912
01:00:30,395 --> 01:00:31,884
If that isn't the truth, what is?
913
01:00:31,984 --> 01:00:34,213
And if that is the truth,
tell her so to her face.
914
01:00:34,638 --> 01:00:35,823
In the manner of a man.
915
01:00:36,842 --> 01:00:40,733
I'd have to tell her that I have
hatred for her infernal ambition.
916
01:00:41,647 --> 01:00:45,585
That I don't want to be ridden and
driven onward and upward through life..
917
01:00:45,685 --> 01:00:48,657
With her whip lashing me and
her spurs digging in to me.
918
01:00:50,116 --> 01:00:54,899
If her poor small soul craves importance
in life, let her marry Stephen Douglas.
919
01:00:55,337 --> 01:00:56,809
He's ambitious, too.
920
01:00:57,687 --> 01:00:59,688
I want only to be left alone.
921
01:01:00,472 --> 01:01:02,775
It would be more gracious to
admit that you are afraid of her.
922
01:01:02,905 --> 01:01:05,206
Good for you, Mr Speed.
- You'd better keep out of this.
923
01:01:05,416 --> 01:01:06,361
No, I won't.
924
01:01:07,774 --> 01:01:09,721
You are not abandoning Miss Mary Todd.
925
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,328
No, you are only using her
as the living sacrifice.
926
01:01:12,428 --> 01:01:16,338
Offering her up hoping you're forgiven
for your failure to do your own duty.
927
01:01:16,979 --> 01:01:17,994
What "great duty"?
928
01:01:18,101 --> 01:01:22,797
Everyone feels called upon to remind me
of it and no-one can tell me what it is.
929
01:01:23,232 --> 01:01:24,190
I can tell you.
930
01:01:24,543 --> 01:01:27,787
I can tell you what is the duty of every
man who calls himself an American.
931
01:01:28,639 --> 01:01:32,032
It is to perpetuate those truths that
were once held to be self-evident.
932
01:01:32,573 --> 01:01:34,077
That all men are created equal..
933
01:01:34,177 --> 01:01:37,238
And endowed with the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
934
01:01:37,553 --> 01:01:39,552
Are those rights denied to me?
935
01:01:40,081 --> 01:01:42,231
Could you ever enjoy
them while you realise..
936
01:01:42,331 --> 01:01:45,445
That two million of your fellow
beings in this country are slaves?
937
01:01:45,966 --> 01:01:48,309
When you look at that flag
don't you ever realise..
938
01:01:48,489 --> 01:01:51,756
That ten of its stars represent States
that would destroy the Union..
939
01:01:52,043 --> 01:01:54,498
Rather than give up their
property rights on those slaves?
940
01:01:55,630 --> 01:01:59,619
Don't dare tell me that anybody in this
world knows it more than you Mr Lincoln.
941
01:02:00,211 --> 01:02:02,867
You, who honor the
memory of Elijah Lovejoy.
942
01:02:03,271 --> 01:02:06,732
And every other man who ever died
fighting in the defence of freedom.
943
01:02:08,371 --> 01:02:09,250
I honor them.
944
01:02:10,155 --> 01:02:11,195
And envy them.
945
01:02:12,148 --> 01:02:16,270
Because they could believe that
their ideals are worth dying for.
946
01:02:36,206 --> 01:02:37,107
Alright, Josh.
947
01:02:38,363 --> 01:02:40,665
I'll go up now and I'll take to Mary.
948
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:56,312
Then I'm going away.
949
01:02:57,024 --> 01:02:57,895
Where, Abe?
950
01:03:00,324 --> 01:03:01,310
I don't know.
951
01:05:10,768 --> 01:05:12,811
"The world passeth."
952
01:05:13,434 --> 01:05:17,873
"But he that doeth the will
of God, abideth forever."
953
01:05:35,501 --> 01:05:36,380
Howdy, Abe.
954
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:39,395
Hello, Abe.
955
01:05:42,042 --> 01:05:44,790
Well, well, Mr Lincoln.
Glad to see you back.
956
01:05:45,136 --> 01:05:46,085
Thank you.
957
01:05:46,255 --> 01:05:48,297
Why Abe, when did you get back?
958
01:05:49,104 --> 01:05:50,566
How do you do.
- Good afternoon.
959
01:05:52,190 --> 01:05:54,245
After his shameful
treatment of Miss Todd..
960
01:05:54,345 --> 01:05:56,949
I wouldn't think he'd dare
show his face in this town.
961
01:05:58,624 --> 01:06:00,835
And going in the Edwards'
home of all things.
962
01:06:01,165 --> 01:06:03,338
Right in where he's least wanted.
963
01:06:03,523 --> 01:06:05,439
Well, we can't say he lacks courage.
964
01:06:08,025 --> 01:06:09,469
Please come right in, Mr Lincoln.
965
01:06:20,248 --> 01:06:22,314
Glad to see you again, Abe.
- Thank you, Mary.
966
01:06:22,895 --> 01:06:26,478
You may well wonder why I thrust
myself on your mercy in this matter.
967
01:06:27,340 --> 01:06:29,634
I'm sure you're always
welcome in Ninian's house.
968
01:06:30,033 --> 01:06:34,559
After my behaviour at our last meeting I
haven't been welcome company for myself.
969
01:06:35,532 --> 01:06:37,992
Joshua Speed has kept us
informed of your whereabouts.
970
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,401
We've been greatly concerned.
- You've been most kind.
971
01:06:42,252 --> 01:06:45,732
Now you return to your work and no doubt
you will run for the assembly again.
972
01:06:45,912 --> 01:06:46,555
Or..
973
01:06:47,054 --> 01:06:49,336
Perhaps you have larger plans?
- I have no plans.
974
01:06:50,142 --> 01:06:52,063
I only wish to gain your forgiveness.
975
01:06:53,576 --> 01:06:55,048
There is no question of that.
976
01:06:55,465 --> 01:06:57,290
What happened between
us was my own fault.
977
01:06:57,650 --> 01:06:59,712
I was blinded by my own self-confidence.
978
01:07:00,508 --> 01:07:01,145
I..
979
01:07:03,371 --> 01:07:04,303
I loved you.
980
01:07:04,918 --> 01:07:06,808
I believed that I could
make you love me.
981
01:07:07,513 --> 01:07:10,363
I believed that the fire of my
ambition would burn in you.
982
01:07:10,916 --> 01:07:13,045
You would become a man. A leader of men.
983
01:07:13,660 --> 01:07:14,298
But.
984
01:07:15,358 --> 01:07:16,474
You didn't wish that.
985
01:07:17,758 --> 01:07:22,110
It is true Mary you once had faith in
me which I was far from deserving.
986
01:07:23,838 --> 01:07:26,597
The time has come when I
wish to strive to deserve it.
987
01:07:27,169 --> 01:07:29,787
I believe now that our
destinies are together.
988
01:07:30,290 --> 01:07:31,477
For better or for worse.
989
01:07:33,744 --> 01:07:36,472
So I again presume to
ask you to be my wife.
990
01:07:40,648 --> 01:07:45,002
I fully realize that taking me back
involves humiliation for you.
991
01:07:45,849 --> 01:07:48,463
I've had humiliation
already and survived it.
992
01:07:49,014 --> 01:07:50,458
But I promise you, Mary.
993
01:07:51,292 --> 01:07:52,440
If you will have me..
994
01:07:52,540 --> 01:07:56,833
I shall devote myself for the rest of
my days to trying to do what is right.
995
01:07:57,302 --> 01:08:00,140
As God gives me power
to see what is right.
996
01:08:05,669 --> 01:08:06,399
Then.
997
01:08:08,358 --> 01:08:09,579
I shall be your wife.
998
01:08:11,001 --> 01:08:13,677
I shall fight by your side
until death do us part.
999
01:08:16,059 --> 01:08:17,987
Abe.. I love you.
1000
01:08:18,522 --> 01:08:19,735
Oh, I love you.
1001
01:08:20,448 --> 01:08:23,192
Whatever becomes of the
two of us, I'll die loving you.
1002
01:09:45,422 --> 01:09:46,315
Slaves.
1003
01:09:47,171 --> 01:09:48,595
Whether emancipated or not.
1004
01:09:49,083 --> 01:09:52,134
They yet remain subject to the
authority of the dominant race.
1005
01:09:52,621 --> 01:09:54,462
And have no rights or privileges..
1006
01:09:54,950 --> 01:09:57,458
But such as those who hold
the power of government..
1007
01:09:57,969 --> 01:09:59,350
Might choose to grant them.
1008
01:10:38,715 --> 01:10:39,911
Are you John Brown?
1009
01:10:40,695 --> 01:10:43,384
I am, sir. So what if I am John Brown?
1010
01:10:43,745 --> 01:10:45,573
Don't try and fight them anymore.
1011
01:10:46,103 --> 01:10:48,005
I place you under arrest for treason.
1012
01:10:48,508 --> 01:10:50,858
For bearing arms against the
government of The United States.
1013
01:10:51,846 --> 01:10:54,061
I'd like to ask who
is making this arrest.
1014
01:10:54,548 --> 01:10:56,983
I am Lieutenant-Colonel
Robert E. Lee of the 2nd Cavalry.
1015
01:10:57,447 --> 01:10:59,565
Acting under orders
from President Buchanan.
1016
01:11:00,988 --> 01:11:02,212
It's no use, Pa.
1017
01:11:03,045 --> 01:11:04,509
You've got to give in to 'em.
1018
01:11:06,214 --> 01:11:07,656
Somebody else..
1019
01:11:08,305 --> 01:11:09,683
Got to finish this job.
1020
01:11:16,295 --> 01:11:18,545
Very well, Colonel Lee.
I submit to arrest.
1021
01:11:19,582 --> 01:11:24,335
Knowing full well I shall be hanged for
this attempt to end the evil of slavery.
1022
01:11:25,456 --> 01:11:27,808
But after I am dead
the evil will remain.
1023
01:11:28,719 --> 01:11:31,536
And you and all other
patriots will come to learn..
1024
01:11:31,988 --> 01:11:34,706
It can be purged
from this guilty world..
1025
01:11:35,449 --> 01:11:36,724
Only with blood.
1026
01:11:42,145 --> 01:11:43,585
Goodbye, my son.
1027
01:11:58,979 --> 01:12:00,821
Another fanatic has
gone to meet his maker.
1028
01:12:01,093 --> 01:12:03,573
Why can't these anti-slavery
fools mind their own business?
1029
01:12:04,094 --> 01:12:05,052
Senator Douglas!
1030
01:12:06,385 --> 01:12:07,970
The message you've been waiting for.
1031
01:12:08,592 --> 01:12:09,893
A telegram from Springfield.
1032
01:12:10,008 --> 01:12:13,262
They've nominated Abraham Lincoln
to run against the senator this fall.
1033
01:12:14,298 --> 01:12:15,901
My heartiest congratulations.
1034
01:12:16,149 --> 01:12:17,523
Lincoln? Who's he?
1035
01:12:18,003 --> 01:12:19,892
What are they doing?
Giving you the election?
1036
01:12:20,543 --> 01:12:23,458
So Abe Lincoln has decided
at last to come out and fight.
1037
01:12:23,621 --> 01:12:25,374
The best thing that could happen to us.
1038
01:12:25,474 --> 01:12:27,281
How does this Lincoln stand on slavery?
1039
01:12:27,517 --> 01:12:29,509
Nobody knows.
Least of all, Lincoln himself.
1040
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:33,215
He's the most undecided,
hesitating-est critter you ever saw.
1041
01:12:33,676 --> 01:12:36,756
We don't want that slave issue
brought up in Illinois this year.
1042
01:12:36,967 --> 01:12:39,411
You can count on old Abe.
He's just what we want.
1043
01:12:39,683 --> 01:12:40,785
A peaceful man.
1044
01:12:41,287 --> 01:12:42,827
We'll start the campaign at once.
1045
01:12:42,927 --> 01:12:46,093
I will return to Springfield. I want an
unprecedented welcome when I get there.
1046
01:12:46,363 --> 01:12:48,203
A brass band at the station.
A big parade.
1047
01:12:48,693 --> 01:12:49,880
And free liquor for all.
1048
01:12:50,612 --> 01:12:52,743
You don't mean to say that
you're afraid of Abe Lincoln?
1049
01:12:53,025 --> 01:12:54,498
Why, the country doesn't know him.
1050
01:12:54,842 --> 01:12:56,086
Maybe the country doesn't.
1051
01:12:57,456 --> 01:12:58,235
But I do.
1052
01:13:05,887 --> 01:13:06,929
All ready now.
1053
01:13:07,598 --> 01:13:08,612
Keep very still.
1054
01:13:09,752 --> 01:13:10,390
One.
1055
01:13:10,865 --> 01:13:11,660
Two.
1056
01:13:12,024 --> 01:13:12,696
Three.
1057
01:13:13,424 --> 01:13:15,572
Tad, you are to keep absolutely still.
1058
01:13:15,805 --> 01:13:16,734
You too, Willy.
1059
01:13:16,969 --> 01:13:17,889
We will, Ma.
1060
01:13:19,345 --> 01:13:20,802
Now please, one and all.
1061
01:13:23,831 --> 01:13:24,462
One.
1062
01:13:24,913 --> 01:13:25,661
Two.
1063
01:13:25,968 --> 01:13:26,640
Three.
1064
01:13:27,382 --> 01:13:28,046
Tad!
1065
01:13:28,238 --> 01:13:29,884
If I have to speak to you once more..
1066
01:13:29,984 --> 01:13:31,679
But Pa keeps tickling me.
1067
01:13:32,335 --> 01:13:33,464
I might have known it.
1068
01:13:33,675 --> 01:13:34,755
Please, Mr Lincoln.
1069
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,889
Please bear in mind this picture
was ordered by the Chicago Tribune.
1070
01:13:38,098 --> 01:13:40,491
To spread far and wide
during your campaign.
1071
01:13:40,770 --> 01:13:44,332
I'm sorry, Mary. But I can't help
thinking how foolish I look.
1072
01:13:44,669 --> 01:13:47,129
Now I beg of you, no
movement of any kind.
1073
01:13:47,905 --> 01:13:49,131
This time we'll get it.
1074
01:13:50,132 --> 01:13:50,833
One.
1075
01:13:53,455 --> 01:13:54,942
Willy.. Tad.
1076
01:13:55,042 --> 01:13:55,971
Come back here.
1077
01:13:56,265 --> 01:13:58,037
Look, Pa. It's a great big parade.
1078
01:13:59,176 --> 01:14:00,248
Douglas has arrived.
1079
01:14:00,516 --> 01:14:02,255
Listen to them cheering for him.
1080
01:14:02,653 --> 01:14:04,860
They ought to cheer him.
He paid them enough for it.
1081
01:14:36,524 --> 01:14:38,528
Old Abe won't have
an answer for that one.
1082
01:14:38,836 --> 01:14:39,737
You're a liar.
1083
01:14:51,466 --> 01:14:53,579
We have now heard the leading argument.
1084
01:14:54,549 --> 01:14:58,716
For the 2 candidates for the high office
of United States Senator from Illinois.
1085
01:14:59,407 --> 01:15:00,655
Judge Stephen A. Douglas.
1086
01:15:01,371 --> 01:15:02,806
And Mr Abraham Lincoln.
1087
01:15:03,223 --> 01:15:05,423
According to the usual custom of debate.
1088
01:15:05,990 --> 01:15:08,490
Each of the candidates
will now speak in rebuttal.
1089
01:15:09,418 --> 01:15:10,319
Judge Douglas.
1090
01:15:22,669 --> 01:15:23,853
My fellow citizens.
1091
01:15:25,031 --> 01:15:29,376
My good friend Mr Lincoln has addressed
you with his usual artless sincerity.
1092
01:15:29,611 --> 01:15:31,321
His pure, homely charm.
1093
01:15:31,804 --> 01:15:33,454
Hi perennial native humor.
1094
01:15:34,065 --> 01:15:36,988
He has devoted a generously
large portion of his address.
1095
01:15:37,274 --> 01:15:38,839
To most amiable remarks..
1096
01:15:39,096 --> 01:15:41,239
Upon my fine qualities as a man.
1097
01:15:41,682 --> 01:15:43,120
If not as a statesman.
1098
01:15:43,692 --> 01:15:45,976
For which I express
the deepest gratitude.
1099
01:15:46,937 --> 01:15:48,196
But at the same time.
1100
01:15:48,674 --> 01:15:50,659
I most earnestly beg you.
1101
01:15:50,930 --> 01:15:53,411
Not to be deceived by
his seeming innocence.
1102
01:15:53,893 --> 01:15:57,361
His carefully cultivated
spirit of goodwill.
1103
01:15:57,933 --> 01:15:59,828
For in each of his little homilies.
1104
01:16:00,131 --> 01:16:02,106
Lurk concealed weapons.
1105
01:16:02,739 --> 01:16:03,600
Like Brutus.
1106
01:16:04,038 --> 01:16:06,022
In Shakespeare's immortal tragedy.
1107
01:16:06,332 --> 01:16:08,512
Mr Lincoln is an honorable man.
1108
01:16:08,881 --> 01:16:10,274
But also, like Brutus..
1109
01:16:10,665 --> 01:16:12,194
He is an adept at the art..
1110
01:16:12,475 --> 01:16:15,140
Of inserting daggers
between an opponent's ribs.
1111
01:16:15,633 --> 01:16:18,448
Just when said opponent
least expects it.
1112
01:16:19,060 --> 01:16:21,069
Behold me, ladies and gentlemen.
1113
01:16:21,516 --> 01:16:23,325
I am covered with scars.
1114
01:16:27,812 --> 01:16:29,021
How dare they laugh.
1115
01:16:29,442 --> 01:16:30,715
It's only a speech, mother.
1116
01:16:32,141 --> 01:16:33,614
Any time you say, Abe.
1117
01:16:38,779 --> 01:16:41,791
Mr Lincoln makes you laugh
with his pungent anecdotes.
1118
01:16:42,401 --> 01:16:44,209
He draws tears from your eyes.
1119
01:16:44,567 --> 01:16:48,587
With his dramatic pictures of the plight
of the black slave laborer in the South.
1120
01:16:49,256 --> 01:16:52,946
Always, he guides you skilfully
to the threshold of truth.
1121
01:16:53,423 --> 01:16:55,522
But then, as you are about to cross it.
1122
01:16:56,085 --> 01:16:58,358
He diverts your attention elsewhere.
1123
01:16:59,023 --> 01:17:01,534
He never.. by any mischance.
1124
01:17:01,847 --> 01:17:04,879
Makes reference to the condition
of labor here in the North.
1125
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:07,385
Perhaps he's ignorant of the fact.
1126
01:17:07,725 --> 01:17:10,864
That tens of thousands of
workers are now on strike.
1127
01:17:11,491 --> 01:17:12,665
Hungry men.
1128
01:17:13,008 --> 01:17:15,871
Marching through the
streets in ragged order.
1129
01:17:16,157 --> 01:17:17,115
Promoting riots.
1130
01:17:17,531 --> 01:17:19,814
Because they are not paid
enough to keep the flesh..
1131
01:17:20,238 --> 01:17:22,401
Upon the bones of their babies.
1132
01:17:22,938 --> 01:17:24,793
What kind of liberty is this?
1133
01:17:25,142 --> 01:17:26,771
And what kind of equality?
1134
01:17:27,079 --> 01:17:27,751
Right!
1135
01:17:35,123 --> 01:17:39,026
Mr Lincoln harps constantly
on this subject of "equality".
1136
01:17:39,834 --> 01:17:43,904
He repeats over and over the argument
used by Lovejoy and other abolitionists.
1137
01:17:44,227 --> 01:17:44,956
To wit.
1138
01:17:45,225 --> 01:17:46,902
That the Declaration of Independence.
1139
01:17:47,399 --> 01:17:50,708
Having declared all men free
and equal by divine law.
1140
01:17:50,970 --> 01:17:53,935
Thus Negro equality
is an inalienable right.
1141
01:17:55,114 --> 01:17:59,667
Contrary to this is the verdict of the
Supreme Court in the case of Dred Scott.
1142
01:18:01,331 --> 01:18:02,681
Mr Lincoln is a lawyer.
1143
01:18:03,544 --> 01:18:05,734
And I presume therefore that he knows.
1144
01:18:06,437 --> 01:18:08,508
That when he seeks to
destroy public confidence.
1145
01:18:08,851 --> 01:18:12,345
In the integrity, the inviolability
of The Supreme Court.
1146
01:18:12,780 --> 01:18:14,711
He is preaching revolution.
1147
01:18:16,477 --> 01:18:19,145
He asks me to state my opinion
of the Dred Scott decision.
1148
01:18:19,617 --> 01:18:21,763
And I answer him unequivocally.
1149
01:18:22,057 --> 01:18:24,934
By saying I take the decisions
of The Supreme Court.
1150
01:18:25,379 --> 01:18:26,841
To be the law of the land.
1151
01:18:27,230 --> 01:18:29,675
And I intend to obey them as such.
1152
01:18:30,078 --> 01:18:31,977
Nor will I be swayed from that position.
1153
01:18:32,354 --> 01:18:34,715
By all the ranting of all the fanatics.
1154
01:18:35,019 --> 01:18:37,123
Who preach racial equality.
1155
01:18:37,437 --> 01:18:41,471
Who would ask us to vote, eat,
sleep and marry with Negroes.
1156
01:18:41,909 --> 01:18:42,924
And I say further.
1157
01:18:43,298 --> 01:18:45,485
Let each State mind its own business.
1158
01:18:45,787 --> 01:18:47,145
And leave its neighbors alone.
1159
01:18:47,614 --> 01:18:49,644
If we'll stand on that principle.
1160
01:18:49,939 --> 01:18:51,694
Then Mr Lincoln will find.
1161
01:18:51,902 --> 01:18:54,191
That this great republic can exist.
1162
01:18:54,636 --> 01:18:57,419
Forever divided into
free and slave States.
1163
01:18:57,704 --> 01:19:00,103
And we can go on as we have done.
1164
01:19:00,336 --> 01:19:01,497
Increasing in wealth.
1165
01:19:01,857 --> 01:19:03,892
In population, in power.
1166
01:19:04,193 --> 01:19:06,695
Until we shall become the admiration..
1167
01:19:07,118 --> 01:19:08,936
And the terror of the world.
1168
01:19:15,283 --> 01:19:17,595
Listen to them yell, the
empty-headed idiots.
1169
01:19:17,780 --> 01:19:18,954
Yelling at empty words.
1170
01:19:19,377 --> 01:19:22,174
He doesn't know what he's
talking about. He never did.
1171
01:19:22,421 --> 01:19:23,722
You're upsetting your drink.
1172
01:19:26,954 --> 01:19:28,035
Mr Abraham Lincoln.
1173
01:19:38,138 --> 01:19:39,392
Go get him, Abe!
1174
01:19:40,898 --> 01:19:44,247
Judge Douglas has paid tribute
to my skill with the dagger.
1175
01:19:44,467 --> 01:19:45,654
I thank him for that.
1176
01:19:45,754 --> 01:19:49,048
But I must admit that he can do
more with that weapon than I can.
1177
01:19:49,401 --> 01:19:52,976
He can keep ten daggers flashing
in the air at the same time.
1178
01:19:53,324 --> 01:19:57,644
Fortunately, he's so good at it, none of
the knives ever falls and hurts anyone.
1179
01:20:04,847 --> 01:20:07,345
Now you heard the judge
make allusion to those..
1180
01:20:07,526 --> 01:20:11,807
Who advocate voting and eating and
marrying and sleeping with Negroes.
1181
01:20:12,393 --> 01:20:14,970
Whether he meant me
specifically, I do not know.
1182
01:20:15,167 --> 01:20:16,789
If he did, I can only say this.
1183
01:20:16,992 --> 01:20:19,824
Just because I do not want a
colored woman for a slave..
1184
01:20:19,924 --> 01:20:22,342
I do not necessarily
want her for a wife.
1185
01:20:23,053 --> 01:20:26,910
I do not need to have her for either.
I can just leave her alone.
1186
01:20:27,861 --> 01:20:30,454
In some respects, she is
certainly not my equal..
1187
01:20:30,554 --> 01:20:33,555
Any more than I am
the judge's equal in..
1188
01:20:34,081 --> 01:20:34,988
Some respects.
1189
01:20:35,875 --> 01:20:39,499
But in her natural right to eat the
bread she earns with her own hands..
1190
01:20:39,599 --> 01:20:44,838
Without asking leave of somebody else
she is my equal and equal of all others.
1191
01:20:46,214 --> 01:20:50,166
Now you heard the judge speak
about our own labor conditions.
1192
01:20:50,584 --> 01:20:54,450
As an American I cannot be proud
that such conditions exist.
1193
01:20:55,530 --> 01:20:57,359
But as an American, I can ask.
1194
01:20:57,967 --> 01:21:00,649
Would any of the striking
workers in the North..
1195
01:21:00,749 --> 01:21:03,713
Elect to change places with
the slaves in the South?
1196
01:21:04,539 --> 01:21:08,008
Will they rather not say:
The remedy is in our hands.
1197
01:21:08,421 --> 01:21:10,490
And still as an American.
1198
01:21:11,046 --> 01:21:16,947
I can say thank God we live in a system
by which men have the right to strike.
1199
01:21:25,992 --> 01:21:28,646
I am not preaching rebellion.
1200
01:21:30,293 --> 01:21:31,664
I don't have to.
1201
01:21:32,782 --> 01:21:37,926
This country with its institutions
belongs to the people who inhabit it.
1202
01:21:39,019 --> 01:21:42,856
Whenever they shall grow weary
of the existing government.
1203
01:21:43,249 --> 01:21:47,628
They can exercise their
constitutional right of amending it.
1204
01:21:48,122 --> 01:21:52,956
Or their revolutionary right to
dismember or overthrow it.
1205
01:21:53,381 --> 01:21:56,846
If the founding fathers
gave us anything.
1206
01:21:57,199 --> 01:21:58,683
They gave us that.
1207
01:22:05,804 --> 01:22:09,305
The purpose of the Dred Scott
decision is to make property..
1208
01:22:09,405 --> 01:22:13,485
And nothing but property of the
Negro in all States of the Union.
1209
01:22:14,192 --> 01:22:17,839
It is the old issue of human
rights versus property rights.
1210
01:22:18,759 --> 01:22:22,217
It is the eternal struggle
between two principles.
1211
01:22:22,508 --> 01:22:25,667
The one, the common right of humanity.
1212
01:22:26,184 --> 01:22:28,654
The other, the divine right of Kings.
1213
01:22:29,769 --> 01:22:35,142
It's the same spirit which says you toil
and work and earn bread and I'll eat it.
1214
01:22:42,384 --> 01:22:43,361
As a nation.
1215
01:22:43,677 --> 01:22:47,745
We began by declaring
all men are created equal.
1216
01:22:48,893 --> 01:22:53,835
There's no mention of exceptions to that
rule in the Declaration of Independence.
1217
01:22:54,626 --> 01:22:56,459
But we now practically read it:
1218
01:22:56,559 --> 01:22:59,905
"All men are created
equal except Negroes."
1219
01:23:01,266 --> 01:23:06,047
If we are to accept this doctrine
of race or class discrimination.
1220
01:23:06,664 --> 01:23:09,602
What is to stop us in
future from decreeing..
1221
01:23:09,886 --> 01:23:13,087
All men are created
equal except Negroes..
1222
01:23:13,565 --> 01:23:14,380
Foreigners.
1223
01:23:14,761 --> 01:23:15,562
Catholics.
1224
01:23:16,028 --> 01:23:16,782
Jews.
1225
01:23:17,493 --> 01:23:19,730
Or just poor people.
1226
01:23:20,293 --> 01:23:24,830
That is the conclusion towards which
the advocates of slavery are driving us.
1227
01:23:25,404 --> 01:23:29,088
"Let each State mind its own
business" says Judge Douglas.
1228
01:23:29,749 --> 01:23:31,225
"Why stir up trouble?"
1229
01:23:32,190 --> 01:23:37,159
This is the complacent
policy of indifference to evil.
1230
01:23:37,831 --> 01:23:39,986
And that policy..
1231
01:23:40,338 --> 01:23:42,242
I cannot but hate.
1232
01:23:43,507 --> 01:23:48,303
I hate it because of the monstrous
injustice of slavery itself.
1233
01:23:49,389 --> 01:23:54,605
I hate it because it denies our republic
its just influence in the world.
1234
01:23:55,367 --> 01:24:00,952
Enables the enemies of free institutions
everywhere to taunt us as hypocrites.
1235
01:24:01,737 --> 01:24:04,479
Causes the real friends of freedom..
1236
01:24:04,842 --> 01:24:06,731
To doubt our sincerity.
1237
01:24:07,579 --> 01:24:08,950
And especially.
1238
01:24:09,579 --> 01:24:14,000
Because it forces so many
good men among ourselves.
1239
01:24:14,361 --> 01:24:19,065
Into an open war with the very
fundamentals of civil liberties.
1240
01:24:19,753 --> 01:24:23,820
Denying the good faith of the
Declaration of Independence.
1241
01:24:24,308 --> 01:24:28,753
And insisting that there is
no right principle of action.
1242
01:24:29,232 --> 01:24:30,858
But self-interest.
1243
01:24:31,711 --> 01:24:34,072
In his final words tonight.
1244
01:24:34,878 --> 01:24:36,009
The judge said.
1245
01:24:37,025 --> 01:24:38,048
That we can be:
1246
01:24:38,148 --> 01:24:39,857
"The terror of the world".
1247
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:44,066
I don't think we want to be that.
1248
01:24:45,651 --> 01:24:50,249
I think we would prefer to be
the encouragement of the world.
1249
01:24:51,150 --> 01:24:55,796
The proof that at last
man is worthy to be free.
1250
01:24:57,030 --> 01:24:59,987
But we shall provide no
such encouragement..
1251
01:25:00,087 --> 01:25:04,625
Unless we can establish our ability
as a nation to live and grow.
1252
01:25:05,231 --> 01:25:08,354
And we shall surely do neither.
1253
01:25:08,786 --> 01:25:12,475
If these States fail to remain united.
1254
01:25:13,773 --> 01:25:18,339
There can be no distinction
in the definition of liberty.
1255
01:25:18,713 --> 01:25:20,932
As between one section and another.
1256
01:25:21,283 --> 01:25:24,897
One class and another.
One race and another.
1257
01:25:26,854 --> 01:25:31,283
A house divided against
itself cannot stand.
1258
01:25:32,766 --> 01:25:36,912
This government cannot
endure permanently.
1259
01:25:37,719 --> 01:25:39,172
Half slave.
1260
01:25:40,618 --> 01:25:42,755
And half free.
1261
01:25:52,366 --> 01:25:54,546
"This government cannot
endure permanently."
1262
01:25:55,060 --> 01:25:57,096
"Half slave and half free."
1263
01:25:57,435 --> 01:25:59,829
Here is the proof of your editorial
for tomorrow, Mr Greeley.
1264
01:26:00,338 --> 01:26:01,153
Scrap it.
1265
01:26:01,444 --> 01:26:04,028
I'm going to write another one.
About a man named Lincoln.
1266
01:26:04,433 --> 01:26:05,967
Lincoln? Never heard of him.
1267
01:26:07,071 --> 01:26:07,829
You will.
1268
01:26:32,230 --> 01:26:34,422
Gentlemen, I beg of you. One at a time.
1269
01:26:34,626 --> 01:26:37,676
If Stuart is nominated he'll want
to emancipate all of the slaves.
1270
01:26:37,901 --> 01:26:39,507
That would be the end of the Union.
1271
01:26:39,607 --> 01:26:42,117
I tell you that Douglas will
carry the South and the West.
1272
01:26:42,413 --> 01:26:44,798
We've got to be sure of
New York or we lose.
1273
01:26:44,993 --> 01:26:47,009
And the only man..
- Stuart will never get my vote.
1274
01:26:47,378 --> 01:26:50,018
Gentlemen, if you can't contain
your tempers we'll never agree.
1275
01:26:50,478 --> 01:26:53,846
We'll never agree on any of the
leading candidates. That's obvious.
1276
01:26:54,224 --> 01:26:56,149
What we need in this
race is a dark horse.
1277
01:26:56,249 --> 01:26:58,243
Yes, but what's his name?
- Lincoln.
1278
01:27:01,721 --> 01:27:05,659
Maybe you don't know it but there is a
big country out west of the Alleghenies.
1279
01:27:06,153 --> 01:27:09,362
With a lot of new States named
Oregon, Minnesota, California.
1280
01:27:09,686 --> 01:27:11,368
Which you seem never to have heard of.
1281
01:27:11,714 --> 01:27:13,379
Lincoln is popular out there.
1282
01:27:13,644 --> 01:27:16,641
And if we handle him right we can make
him popular back here in the East.
1283
01:27:17,081 --> 01:27:19,504
Anyway, I ask you
gentlemen to look him over.
1284
01:27:19,736 --> 01:27:21,016
Do you know him, Crimmin?
1285
01:27:21,116 --> 01:27:22,831
I heard him debate with Douglas.
1286
01:27:23,031 --> 01:27:26,968
And I can tell you one thing.
He is a vote-getter if I ever saw one.
1287
01:27:32,005 --> 01:27:33,747
No, they got safely to Oregon.
1288
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,135
Didn't you ever fight the Indians, Pa?
1289
01:27:36,312 --> 01:27:40,142
Well not exactly. I was almost in a
battle but I got lost from my men.
1290
01:27:40,514 --> 01:27:41,555
Were you scared?
1291
01:27:41,903 --> 01:27:43,808
That my boy, brings up
a point of argument.
1292
01:27:44,623 --> 01:27:47,121
When I got back to the camp the
Colonel asked me if I'd run away.
1293
01:27:47,311 --> 01:27:50,502
I said, no sir. But if anybody had
asked me where I was going..
1294
01:27:50,684 --> 01:27:54,515
And I'd said I was going for the doctor
they'd figure someone was almighty sick.
1295
01:27:58,778 --> 01:28:01,158
Robert, you've been smoking again.
- Yes, mother.
1296
01:28:01,535 --> 01:28:04,593
I've told you that I will not tolerate
tobacco smoke in my sitting room..
1297
01:28:04,693 --> 01:28:06,452
Or indeed in any part of my house.
1298
01:28:06,866 --> 01:28:10,387
Come, come, Mary. You mustn't
be disrespectful to Harvard man.
1299
01:28:11,676 --> 01:28:13,495
Smoke it in the woodshed, Bob.
- Yes, father.
1300
01:28:13,595 --> 01:28:15,698
You children run upstairs.
Get ready for your supper.
1301
01:28:16,008 --> 01:28:16,975
Oh, Ma.
1302
01:28:17,247 --> 01:28:18,918
Do as your mother tells you, son.
1303
01:28:23,743 --> 01:28:26,109
Hello, Mr Speed.
- Hello Tad, hello Sam.
1304
01:28:29,497 --> 01:28:30,267
Say, Abe.
1305
01:28:30,367 --> 01:28:33,436
That delegation arrived in town an hour
ago. They ought to be here any minute.
1306
01:28:33,536 --> 01:28:34,550
What delegation?
1307
01:28:34,741 --> 01:28:37,962
Oh, some prominent politicians
and ministers, several bankers.
1308
01:28:38,148 --> 01:28:39,389
That kind of people.
1309
01:28:39,899 --> 01:28:41,338
What are they coming here for?
1310
01:28:41,554 --> 01:28:45,545
I don't precisely know. I presume it is
to see if I'm fit to be a candidate..
1311
01:28:45,645 --> 01:28:47,179
For President of The United States.
1312
01:28:47,636 --> 01:28:51,684
I guess they want to see if we live in a
log cabin and keep pigs under the bed.
1313
01:28:51,901 --> 01:28:55,375
And you didn't tell me?
- I'm sorry, Mary. It slipped my mind.
1314
01:28:56,984 --> 01:29:00,209
You are being considered for the
Presidency but it slipped your mind?
1315
01:29:00,716 --> 01:29:02,445
Oh, if I had only known.
1316
01:29:02,770 --> 01:29:06,460
If you'd only given me time to prepare
for them. Now they'll see us as we are.
1317
01:29:06,727 --> 01:29:11,183
Crude, sloppy western barbarians living
in a house reeking of foul tobacco smoke.
1318
01:29:11,379 --> 01:29:13,229
And your filthy old carpet slippers.
1319
01:29:13,492 --> 01:29:14,822
I declare, Abraham Lincoln..
1320
01:29:15,020 --> 01:29:18,938
You'd treat me with more consideration
if I were a slave rather than your wife.
1321
01:29:19,344 --> 01:29:21,562
Go this minute and put
some decent boots on.
1322
01:29:22,586 --> 01:29:23,602
Yes, Mary.
1323
01:29:33,243 --> 01:29:34,172
I know, Joshua.
1324
01:29:35,189 --> 01:29:35,975
You think.
1325
01:29:36,639 --> 01:29:39,852
Just as all the others do.
I'm a bitter nagging woman.
1326
01:29:40,833 --> 01:29:43,827
That I've tried to kill his spirit and
dragged him down to my level.
1327
01:29:44,199 --> 01:29:46,424
No, Mary. I think nothing of the kind.
1328
01:29:46,947 --> 01:29:48,480
Remember, I know Abe too.
1329
01:29:51,632 --> 01:29:54,765
He's always had some
obsession of some future doom.
1330
01:29:55,874 --> 01:29:59,971
And for eighteen years I've been
trying and trying to stir him out of it.
1331
01:30:01,085 --> 01:30:02,725
But all my efforts have been like..
1332
01:30:03,663 --> 01:30:06,284
So many waves dashing
against the rock of ages.
1333
01:30:07,777 --> 01:30:11,860
And now the greatest opportunity comes
to him. Here, right into his own house.
1334
01:30:13,062 --> 01:30:14,079
He must take it.
1335
01:30:14,655 --> 01:30:17,617
He must see that this is
what he was meant to be.
1336
01:30:19,630 --> 01:30:21,177
But I can't persuade him of it.
1337
01:30:22,983 --> 01:30:25,611
I thought that I could help to shape
him as I knew he should be.
1338
01:30:26,849 --> 01:30:29,498
And I've succeeded in
nothing but in breaking myself.
1339
01:30:31,248 --> 01:30:33,719
Mr Lincoln.
- I've got my boots on, Mary.
1340
01:30:33,963 --> 01:30:37,354
You can receive them in here while I try
to prepare some refreshments for them.
1341
01:30:43,013 --> 01:30:45,167
How do you, Mr Crimmin.
Glad to see you again.
1342
01:30:45,361 --> 01:30:48,275
Thank you, Mr Lincoln.
- Step into the parlor, gentlemen.
1343
01:30:51,011 --> 01:30:52,009
Come on in, Josh.
1344
01:30:52,109 --> 01:30:54,785
Oh no. You got to face
this out by yourself, Abe.
1345
01:30:55,260 --> 01:30:56,151
Good luck.
1346
01:31:01,324 --> 01:31:03,847
Is it true that they're expecting
to make Abe President?
1347
01:31:04,294 --> 01:31:07,729
How many times have I told you to speak
of your master as "Mister Lincoln"?
1348
01:31:07,966 --> 01:31:09,863
He ain't my master any
more than he is yours.
1349
01:31:10,163 --> 01:31:13,805
Besides, I've known Abe ever since he
wore pants that were nought but patches.
1350
01:31:14,153 --> 01:31:15,626
The kettle is boiling Mrs Lincoln.
1351
01:31:16,596 --> 01:31:18,206
President of The United States?
1352
01:31:18,786 --> 01:31:22,040
If they get him back into Washington
he won't never come out alive.
1353
01:31:25,493 --> 01:31:28,948
I hesitate to mention such a
delicate matter, Mr Lincoln.
1354
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:30,810
Please don't hesitate, Dr Barrett.
1355
01:31:31,313 --> 01:31:34,207
There has been some grave doubt
about your religious beliefs. - I know.
1356
01:31:34,307 --> 01:31:38,184
They always called me an atheist because
I've refused to become a church member.
1357
01:31:38,785 --> 01:31:40,148
And why have you refused?
1358
01:31:40,780 --> 01:31:44,158
I have found their articles of
belief too complicated for me.
1359
01:31:45,348 --> 01:31:50,304
But I assure you Dr Barrett that I will
gladly join at any time any church..
1360
01:31:50,404 --> 01:31:52,956
Whose sole qualification
for membership..
1361
01:31:53,056 --> 01:31:56,986
Is obedience to the Saviour's own
statement of law and gospel:
1362
01:31:59,149 --> 01:32:02,790
"Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart."
1363
01:32:03,611 --> 01:32:05,055
"With all thy soul."
1364
01:32:06,241 --> 01:32:07,533
"With all thy mind."
1365
01:32:09,059 --> 01:32:12,001
"Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thy self."
1366
01:32:14,562 --> 01:32:16,579
Well now gentlemen,
if you will excuse me.
1367
01:32:16,679 --> 01:32:19,475
I believe Mrs Lincoln is
preparing a slight collation.
1368
01:32:19,730 --> 01:32:21,652
And I must see if I can be of any help.
1369
01:32:24,003 --> 01:32:26,003
Well gentlemen, what's the verdict?
1370
01:32:26,298 --> 01:32:27,857
The man unquestionably is an infidel.
1371
01:32:28,054 --> 01:32:30,503
And a radical. He's as much
of a demagogue as Douglas.
1372
01:32:30,921 --> 01:32:33,912
He is an idealist in a
curious, primitive way.
1373
01:32:34,097 --> 01:32:35,842
He's a rabble-rouser pure and simple.
1374
01:32:36,020 --> 01:32:38,445
In my opinion this man
Lincoln is not safe.
1375
01:32:39,205 --> 01:32:41,915
What do you mean: not safe?
- Just that. He's a radical.
1376
01:32:42,234 --> 01:32:44,809
A man who devotes
himself so wholeheartedly..
1377
01:32:44,909 --> 01:32:47,953
To currying favor with the mob,
develops a mob mentality.
1378
01:32:48,137 --> 01:32:49,973
And what's more,
he evaded our questions.
1379
01:32:50,233 --> 01:32:54,732
Now please gentlemen, I may not know as
much as you of economics and theology.
1380
01:32:54,832 --> 01:32:56,315
But I do know politics.
1381
01:32:56,846 --> 01:33:00,016
And what is the essential quality
that we demand in our candidate?
1382
01:33:00,405 --> 01:33:03,344
It is simply this. That he be
able to get himself elected.
1383
01:33:03,752 --> 01:33:05,396
Well, there's something in what you say.
1384
01:33:05,630 --> 01:33:07,178
And do you think he can do it?
1385
01:33:07,947 --> 01:33:10,811
I tell you gentlemen, in that
uncouth rail-splitter..
1386
01:33:11,001 --> 01:33:14,171
You may observe one of the
slickest, smoothest politicians..
1387
01:33:14,453 --> 01:33:16,176
That ever hoodwinked a yokel mob.
1388
01:33:16,669 --> 01:33:18,691
Of course he evaded your questions.
1389
01:33:18,944 --> 01:33:23,013
You ask him about the labor question
and he said: "I believe in democracy".
1390
01:33:23,718 --> 01:33:26,102
You asked him about
religion and he replied:
1391
01:33:26,448 --> 01:33:28,400
"Love thy neighbor as thyself."
1392
01:33:29,023 --> 01:33:31,730
Now you know you couldn't
argue with that. Any of you.
1393
01:33:32,417 --> 01:33:35,674
The voters will love him because
he's just as common as they are.
1394
01:33:36,216 --> 01:33:38,231
A plain, homespun American.
1395
01:33:38,644 --> 01:33:40,123
His very name is right.
1396
01:33:40,650 --> 01:33:42,327
Honest old Abe.
1397
01:33:42,926 --> 01:33:44,429
He'll play the game with us now..
1398
01:33:44,529 --> 01:33:47,246
And he'll go right on playing it after
we get him into the White House.
1399
01:33:47,715 --> 01:33:49,504
He will do just what we tell him.
1400
01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:50,719
Look, Mr Crimmin.
1401
01:33:51,424 --> 01:33:54,003
Now gentlemen, if you will
step into the dining room..
1402
01:33:54,103 --> 01:33:56,689
Mrs Lincoln will be pleased
to serve you with a cup of tea.
1403
01:33:56,926 --> 01:33:59,253
Thank you.
- Well, this is most gracious.
1404
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:03,904
Bring your cigar with you, Mr Crimmin.
1405
01:34:04,308 --> 01:34:05,409
Thank you. Thank you.
1406
01:34:45,349 --> 01:34:48,404
Does Mr Lincoln seem to be worrying any?
- No. He's in there reading a newspaper.
1407
01:34:53,928 --> 01:34:55,794
Lincoln and Douglas
neck-and-neck in Illinois.
1408
01:34:56,457 --> 01:34:58,359
Maryland is going all for
Bell and Breckinridge.
1409
01:34:58,477 --> 01:35:00,093
Abe, you're not doing fair in Maryland.
1410
01:35:00,664 --> 01:35:04,167
I see the New York Herald says
I got the soul of Uriah Heep..
1411
01:35:04,580 --> 01:35:06,588
Cased in the body of a baboon.
1412
01:35:08,048 --> 01:35:09,464
What does it say about New York?
1413
01:35:09,883 --> 01:35:12,272
Douglas 117,000. Lincoln 106,000.
1414
01:35:12,719 --> 01:35:14,335
He's winning over you in New York, Abe.
1415
01:35:14,437 --> 01:35:17,068
Not yet, Mary. These returns so far
are coming mostly from the city..
1416
01:35:17,168 --> 01:35:18,956
Where Douglas is bound
to run the strongest.
1417
01:35:19,507 --> 01:35:21,309
What's it look like in
Pennsylvania, Ninian?
1418
01:35:21,409 --> 01:35:23,712
There's nothing to worry about
there, Mary. It's safe for Abe.
1419
01:35:24,180 --> 01:35:25,972
In fact there is no
need to worry at all.
1420
01:35:26,072 --> 01:35:29,110
Yes, you've said that over and over all
evening. There is no need to worry.
1421
01:35:29,700 --> 01:35:32,513
How can we help worrying when every
new bulletin shows Douglas ahead?
1422
01:35:32,757 --> 01:35:34,434
But every one of them shows Abe gaining.
1423
01:35:34,631 --> 01:35:37,631
Let 'em count all the votes in New York.
You'll be on the way to the White house.
1424
01:35:37,828 --> 01:35:40,073
Why don't they hurry with it?
When do those returns come in?
1425
01:35:40,175 --> 01:35:41,531
They'll come in soon enough.
1426
01:35:43,074 --> 01:35:44,326
Telegram from New York.
1427
01:35:44,426 --> 01:35:48,738
Mr Belmont states Mr Douglas has filed a
majority 50,000 votes in New York City.
1428
01:35:53,475 --> 01:35:54,760
Ah, shut up!
1429
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:56,910
The mob down there is sickening.
1430
01:35:57,174 --> 01:36:00,454
Cheering every bulletin that's splashed
on the wall whether good news or bad.
1431
01:36:00,699 --> 01:36:04,120
And they cheer every picture of every
candidate including George Washington..
1432
01:36:04,220 --> 01:36:06,627
With the same fine ignorant enthusiasm.
1433
01:36:07,101 --> 01:36:08,660
Maybe they can't tell the difference.
1434
01:36:09,208 --> 01:36:11,678
The reporters are outside, Mr Lincoln.
They want to know..
1435
01:36:12,217 --> 01:36:14,943
What will be your first official
action after you are elected.
1436
01:36:15,453 --> 01:36:18,748
What do you want us tell them, Abe?
- Say I'm thinking of growing a beard.
1437
01:36:18,945 --> 01:36:19,746
A what?
1438
01:36:19,992 --> 01:36:21,578
Whatever put that idea in your head?
1439
01:36:21,842 --> 01:36:25,626
I had a letter from a little girl saying
whiskers would give me more dignity.
1440
01:36:25,915 --> 01:36:27,335
And I'll need it if elected.
1441
01:36:27,581 --> 01:36:29,843
"Missouri. Douglas 35,000."
1442
01:36:30,189 --> 01:36:32,824
"Dell 33, Breckinridge 16."
1443
01:36:33,312 --> 01:36:34,233
"Lincoln 8."
1444
01:36:38,884 --> 01:36:41,101
Mr Lincoln, you're being them
beaten badly in Rhode Island.
1445
01:36:41,648 --> 01:36:43,958
What are they cheering for?
- They don't know.
1446
01:36:45,045 --> 01:36:47,391
The Chicago Times says:
"Lincoln breaks down".
1447
01:36:47,673 --> 01:36:51,029
"His heart fails him, his tongue
fails him, his legs failed him."
1448
01:36:51,421 --> 01:36:52,493
"He fails all over."
1449
01:36:52,777 --> 01:36:54,555
"Douglas skins the living dog."
1450
01:36:58,691 --> 01:36:59,526
Stop it!
1451
01:37:01,563 --> 01:37:03,069
I can't stand it any longer.
1452
01:37:03,452 --> 01:37:06,577
Yes my dear. I think you should
go home. I'll join you presently.
1453
01:37:07,150 --> 01:37:08,141
I won't go home.
1454
01:37:08,389 --> 01:37:09,747
You only want to be rid of me.
1455
01:37:09,984 --> 01:37:12,221
That's all you wanted, ever
since the day we were married.
1456
01:37:12,321 --> 01:37:15,730
And before that, anything to get me out
of your sight because you hate me.
1457
01:37:16,957 --> 01:37:19,601
And it's the same with all of you.
All his friends. You hate me.
1458
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,068
You wish I'd never come into his life.
- No, ma'am.
1459
01:37:23,625 --> 01:37:25,520
Will you all please
step out for a minute.
1460
01:37:40,585 --> 01:37:44,958
Why do you use every opportunity you can
to make a public fool me and yourself?
1461
01:37:46,469 --> 01:37:49,156
It's bad enough when you act like
that in the privacy of our own home.
1462
01:37:49,256 --> 01:37:50,575
But here in front of people?
1463
01:37:53,070 --> 01:37:55,017
You are not to do that
again, do you hear.
1464
01:37:55,731 --> 01:37:57,456
You are never to do that again.
1465
01:37:59,810 --> 01:38:01,586
You've never spoke
to me like that before.
1466
01:38:03,467 --> 01:38:04,797
You've lost your temper, Abe.
1467
01:38:06,824 --> 01:38:08,182
You've never done that before.
1468
01:38:09,366 --> 01:38:10,199
I'm sorry.
1469
01:38:12,371 --> 01:38:13,928
I still think you should go home..
1470
01:38:14,028 --> 01:38:17,893
Rather than stay here and endure
the strain of this death-watch.
1471
01:38:36,066 --> 01:38:38,771
This is the night I dreamed
about when I was a child.
1472
01:38:40,403 --> 01:38:42,033
When I was an excited young girl..
1473
01:38:42,133 --> 01:38:45,052
And all the gay young gentlemen
in Springfield were courting me.
1474
01:38:46,603 --> 01:38:48,782
And I fell in love with
the least likely of them.
1475
01:38:51,184 --> 01:38:53,895
This is the night I'm waiting to
hear my husband has become..
1476
01:38:53,995 --> 01:38:55,637
President of The United States.
1477
01:38:57,327 --> 01:38:58,547
And even if he does.
1478
01:39:00,889 --> 01:39:02,092
It's ruined for me.
1479
01:39:04,475 --> 01:39:05,438
It's too late.
1480
01:39:34,624 --> 01:39:36,205
Is mother alright?
- Yes, son.
1481
01:39:36,552 --> 01:39:38,665
She's gone home. You better go with her.
- Yes, sir.
1482
01:39:39,836 --> 01:39:41,937
It looks like 74 electoral votes.
1483
01:39:42,395 --> 01:39:43,267
Sure for you.
1484
01:39:43,582 --> 01:39:45,133
And 27 more probably.
1485
01:39:45,794 --> 01:39:47,398
New York will give you the election.
1486
01:39:48,542 --> 01:39:50,129
Mark my words, Mr Lincoln.
1487
01:39:50,536 --> 01:39:53,222
This election is wrapped up
tightly in a neat bundle..
1488
01:39:53,322 --> 01:39:55,503
Ready to deliver on
your doorstep tonight.
1489
01:39:55,781 --> 01:39:57,703
We fought the good fight and we won.
1490
01:39:58,221 --> 01:39:59,521
We fought the good fight.
1491
01:40:00,226 --> 01:40:03,462
The dirtiest campaign in the
history of corrupt politics.
1492
01:40:04,461 --> 01:40:05,333
And if I win.
1493
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:10,029
I must fulfil all the dishonest
pledges made in my name.
1494
01:40:21,402 --> 01:40:24,864
You gentlemen have all been friends
of our candidate for a long time.
1495
01:40:25,268 --> 01:40:28,699
So possibly you can answer a question
that has been puzzling me considerably.
1496
01:40:29,281 --> 01:40:32,508
Can I possibly be correct in supposing
that he doesn't want to win?
1497
01:40:32,988 --> 01:40:34,185
The answer is yes.
1498
01:40:35,271 --> 01:40:39,848
Well, I can only say that for me this
is all a refreshingly new experience.
1499
01:40:40,405 --> 01:40:42,910
Would you want to become President
of The United States at this time?
1500
01:40:43,010 --> 01:40:44,724
Haven't you read the newspapers lately?
1501
01:40:44,824 --> 01:40:47,290
Why yes. I try to follow
the events of the day.
1502
01:40:47,521 --> 01:40:50,895
Don't you realize that they've raised
10,000 volunteers in South Carolina?
1503
01:40:50,995 --> 01:40:53,272
They are armed. The governor
has issued a proclamation..
1504
01:40:53,372 --> 01:40:56,035
Saying that if Mr Lincoln is elected,
the State will secede tomorrow.
1505
01:40:56,336 --> 01:40:58,915
And every other State south of
the Dixon line will go with it.
1506
01:40:59,646 --> 01:41:01,090
Can you see what that means?
1507
01:41:01,463 --> 01:41:02,942
War. Civil war.
1508
01:41:04,561 --> 01:41:07,479
He'll have the whole terrible
responsibility for it.
1509
01:41:08,186 --> 01:41:12,676
The man who's never wanted anything in
his life but to be let alone in peace.
1510
01:41:13,117 --> 01:41:14,103
Calm down, Billy.
1511
01:41:15,180 --> 01:41:16,538
Go get yourself another drink.
1512
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:18,755
Mr Edwards, here it is!
1513
01:41:21,428 --> 01:41:24,318
"At 10:30 tonight the New York
Herald conceded that Mr Lincoln.."
1514
01:41:24,418 --> 01:41:29,222
"Had carried the State by a majority
of 25,000 and had won the election!"
1515
01:41:45,765 --> 01:41:48,826
Listen to 'em, Abe. Listen to that
crazy howling mob down there.
1516
01:41:49,180 --> 01:41:50,798
That's all for you, Mr Lincoln.
1517
01:41:51,180 --> 01:41:53,246
Abe.. get out there and
make them a speech.
1518
01:41:55,362 --> 01:41:56,873
No, I don't want to go out there.
1519
01:42:00,015 --> 01:42:01,820
I think I'll go home and tell Mary.
1520
01:42:10,226 --> 01:42:12,536
This is Captain Kavanagh, Mr President.
1521
01:42:13,177 --> 01:42:15,880
I've been detailed to accompany you,
Mr Lincoln in the event you're elected.
1522
01:42:16,754 --> 01:42:18,961
I am grateful to you, Captain.
But I don't need you.
1523
01:42:20,246 --> 01:42:21,747
You had better have us, sir. Sorry.
1524
01:42:22,498 --> 01:42:23,799
I don't want to be alarming.
1525
01:42:24,710 --> 01:42:27,615
I guess you know as well as I do that
threats are made against your life.
1526
01:42:37,010 --> 01:42:38,004
Goodnight, Josh.
1527
01:42:38,602 --> 01:42:40,765
Ninian, Mr Crimmin.
1528
01:42:41,580 --> 01:42:42,383
Billy.
1529
01:42:45,472 --> 01:42:46,258
Thank you.
1530
01:42:47,769 --> 01:42:50,402
One moment, sir.
With your permission, I'll go first.
1531
01:44:01,863 --> 01:44:03,935
Steve, it's good of you to come.
1532
01:44:04,108 --> 01:44:06,683
Abe, you and I have been
adversaries for a good many years.
1533
01:44:07,014 --> 01:44:09,795
We've indulged in mortal combat
on every conceivable issue.
1534
01:44:10,208 --> 01:44:12,351
But now, you are
President of The United States.
1535
01:44:13,012 --> 01:44:15,168
And I want you to know
that I'm fighting with you.
1536
01:44:16,211 --> 01:44:18,346
Steve, you're a good generous man.
1537
01:44:29,558 --> 01:44:30,294
Speech!
1538
01:44:30,782 --> 01:44:31,526
Speech!
1539
01:44:31,823 --> 01:44:33,280
Say something, Abe.
- Speech!
1540
01:44:34,065 --> 01:44:35,695
They want you to say something, Abe.
1541
01:44:40,373 --> 01:44:43,344
My dear friends, I have to
say goodbye to you now.
1542
01:44:43,722 --> 01:44:47,924
Leaving for Washington with my new
whiskers of which I hope you approve.
1543
01:44:51,503 --> 01:44:55,489
No, no Lieutenant! Let them come on.
They are all old friends of mine.
1544
01:45:07,959 --> 01:45:10,438
No-one not in my situation..
1545
01:45:10,538 --> 01:45:14,078
Can appreciate my feelings
of sadness at this parting.
1546
01:45:15,374 --> 01:45:19,099
To this place and the kindness
of you people, I owe everything.
1547
01:45:20,589 --> 01:45:25,486
I now leave not knowing when
or whether ever I may return.
1548
01:45:26,245 --> 01:45:28,667
It is a grave duty that I must face.
1549
01:45:29,319 --> 01:45:30,798
In preparing for it.
1550
01:45:31,329 --> 01:45:32,983
I have tried to enquire.
1551
01:45:33,654 --> 01:45:36,759
What great principle or ideal it is..
1552
01:45:37,581 --> 01:45:40,949
Which has kept this
Union so long together.
1553
01:45:42,218 --> 01:45:44,420
And I believe that it was not..
1554
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:48,858
The mere matter of separation of
the colonies from the motherland.
1555
01:45:50,129 --> 01:45:54,341
But that sentiment in the
Declaration of Independence.
1556
01:45:54,862 --> 01:45:58,459
Which gave liberty to the
people of this country.
1557
01:45:59,582 --> 01:46:01,848
And hope to all the world.
1558
01:46:02,721 --> 01:46:04,846
We gained democracy.
1559
01:46:05,642 --> 01:46:09,724
And there is now doubt
whether it is fit to survive.
1560
01:46:11,964 --> 01:46:13,968
I've heard an Eastern monarch..
1561
01:46:14,068 --> 01:46:17,252
Who once charged his wise men
to invent him a sentence..
1562
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:22,058
Which should be true and appropriate
at all times and situations.
1563
01:46:23,799 --> 01:46:25,943
They presented him with the words:
1564
01:46:27,365 --> 01:46:30,555
"And this too shall pass away."
1565
01:46:32,829 --> 01:46:36,083
That's a comforting thought
in times of affliction.
1566
01:46:37,269 --> 01:46:40,224
And this too shall pass away.
1567
01:46:42,518 --> 01:46:43,182
Yet.
1568
01:46:44,963 --> 01:46:47,708
Let us believe that it is not true.
1569
01:46:49,465 --> 01:46:55,073
Let us live to prove that we can
cultivate the natural world around us.
1570
01:46:56,290 --> 01:47:00,294
And the intellectual and
moral world within us.
1571
01:47:01,638 --> 01:47:05,473
So that we may secure an individual..
1572
01:47:05,923 --> 01:47:06,934
Social..
1573
01:47:08,056 --> 01:47:10,693
And political prosperity.
1574
01:47:12,032 --> 01:47:14,519
Whose course shall be forward.
1575
01:47:16,402 --> 01:47:20,080
And which while this earth endures..
1576
01:47:20,516 --> 01:47:22,927
Shall not pass away.
1577
01:47:26,923 --> 01:47:29,401
I commend you to the
care of the Almighty.
1578
01:47:31,358 --> 01:47:34,673
And I hope in your prayers
you may remember me.
1579
01:47:38,026 --> 01:47:39,445
Friends, one and all.
1580
01:47:40,263 --> 01:47:44,020
I must now bid you an
affectionate farewell.
1581
01:47:52,195 --> 01:47:58,002
"Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord."
1582
01:47:58,332 --> 01:47:59,181
Bye, Abe.
1583
01:47:59,476 --> 01:48:05,439
"He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored."
1584
01:48:05,754 --> 01:48:11,822
"He hath loosed the fateful
lightning of His terrible swift sword."
1585
01:48:12,121 --> 01:48:16,807
"His truth is marching on."
1586
01:48:19,081 --> 01:48:24,303
"Glory, Glory, hallelujah!"
1587
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:30,173
"Glory, Glory, hallelujah!"
1588
01:48:31,551 --> 01:48:36,307
"Glory, Glory, hallelujah!"
1589
01:48:37,396 --> 01:48:42,436
"His truth is marching on."
1590
01:48:43,761 --> 01:48:48,790
"Glory, Glory, hallelujah!"
1591
01:48:49,216 --> 01:48:55,049
"His truth is marching on."
1592
01:49:42,527 --> 01:49:43,544
T-G
1593
01:49:46,544 --> 01:49:50,544
