this matter concerns the United States

government I'm the United States

he has a fleet on its way here now to

take it back when that Fleet arrives

there will be violent bloody war is that

clear quite so but doesn't this concern

only the natives it concerns everyone on

this island now if you'll go onto the

dock I'll finish closing this concer but

we're not at war with France and I

didn't think it was customary the

American con it also not customary to

sit on a powder cake and wait for to

blow up I'm removing the consulate to an

american gun booat in the harbor when

things are quieted down we'll move back

now are there any further questions yes

haven't been clothed or paid for the

past 3 months now understand Miss Bailey

largest French land owner in Haiti you

life she lives at the House of M Doon

that's all I've heard do rore conspires

with Napoleon your lyia shares his

sympathies come Mr Hamin your mission is

not as innocent as it appears you may

confess to me I don't know Doo from a

hole in a fork Maple and as for Lydia

Bailey all she means to me is that she

can write her own name I hope I want her

signature on these papers and nothing

more Haiti is not Baltimore Mr hemin do

MO chatau is not just around the corner

pleasure in finding white gazel like you

an hour I was partly responsible for the

death of a child I've been kidnapped

of a good cacco matter of fact I think

American ship as for those papers

are they I'll decide that as an American

citizen be quiet

message a little loose under the

plan to

M Gabriel Doon At Your Service M

anytime misunder understand me mure it's

merely a turn of a phrase We Americans

we I'm albian Hammer the Baltimore Mar

oh American you must forgive me m I was

told that you came to us in rags and

with you face blackened times are

unsettled Mr hlin so I

found it was a device suggested by my

servant to get past this mirabo servant

we were ambushed I escaped but he was

taken a Pity mirabo is a violent man now

uh about this coat I haven't had a

chance to thank you it's an amazing fit

but Loose under the shoulder allow

me this should fit you better it's

beautiful now uh

if you'll forgive me may I know the

nature of your

visit I came to see Miss Lydia Bailey I

understand that

why it's a legal matter between Miss

Bailey and me I'm accustomed to handling

all legal matters for her are you her

husband I do not resent your question

nearly as much as your tone sir would

you care to

explain again I must apologize for my

manner mure I need her signature on a

document unless you are her husband you

cannot sign for

her we are not yet

married and I'm afraid I must pressed

the matter with Miss Bailey you are

amazingly persistent Mr havin even for

an

American and I find myself amazingly

rude for a host you had the courage to

come to miro's territory and uh come you

shall see

her

[Music]

for my mother Mr Hamlin please Madame it

is a pleasure to see an American these

days I have never forgotten how

entrancing was your Ambassador Benjamin

Franklin yes ma'am I've been told he was

a great favorite with the ladies you've

met Melle

Bailey I wish I had half Mr Franklin's

charm or perhaps his subtlety and this

is my son Paul his mother died at his

birth lady has cared for him

since hello Paul hello we have a saying

of our own here Mr Hamlin to give all to

one son is to be given Paradise in

return you see I have no fear of the

future you have had enough fancing for

today huh yes papa please excuse

me and now my dear Lydia Our Guest

insist on talking to you in private

perhaps you would care use my study I

know Mr Hamlin's business he can speak

of it

here Miss Bailey I Mr Hamlin in the past

two years I've received countless

letters from my father's lawyers I've

not answered them because I won't sign

any papers I disapproved of my father

and as well I've not changed my mind one

moment Miss Bailey my interest in this

is not just that of a lawyer I was a

back of the trees Yankee came out of a

Cumberland settlement po at church mouse

your father was the first man to help me

he paid for a Year's schooling when I

wanted a chance to study at the law he

made arrangements for me to work for his

lawyers I respected him and I loved him

and now that he's dead I'm here to see

that his wishes are carried

out obviously have more reason to be

grateful than I it's not a question of

your wishes or mine your father left his

estate to his government it's still a

poor government it needs his land and

great wealth do you know that our

soldiers haven't been paid in over 3

months that President Jefferson I'm not

interested in adding to the wealth of

your Mr Thomas Jefferson or his

government your government not mine Mr

Hamlin if you can't be loyal your

country what about your own father my

father was a bigot divorced my mother in

cus to France when I was a child I was

educated there it's my country I no

longer consider myself an American or my

father's daughter I rather like M lady

dear why cause him and this young man

all this trouble sign the papers and

have done with it do not scold Lydia

dear M who then shall I scold

you perhaps you better see what goes on

Gabrielle excuse

me you'll excuse me Madame if I speak

bluntly to a lapsed American I am an old

lady I do not have much time left for

anything else but

bluntness my dear Miss Bailey you're an

American whether you admit it or not you

have a chance to help your country but

you refuse out of a petty spite if I had

you within gunshot of Baltimore I'd turn

you over my lap and TW you from here to

I feel sure Napoleon will be pleased

with this news and with our excellent

Doo your Excellency Madame may I present

mmel Lydia

[Music]

Bailey so this is the American Beauty we

have heard so much about I've been

simply dying of curiosity I'm gled to

think Madame is H heard of me heard of

you my dear fris is buzzing with your

Escapade is it really true that you

painted yourself black all over and

formed a jungle with an

American yes

madame Mr Hamin lost his life protecting

me he was very brave tell me my dear was

he also very

attractive

very uh do you know that tousa has

agreed to meet us here yes when I heard

he was hidden somewhere near the city I

passed the word I wish to see him

tonight to discuss a settlement may I

inquire whether this means peace your

Excellency I admire women who take an

interest in

politics Napoleon ordered me to divide

the conquest of he into three parts

first to make a landing on the coast and

cultivate the Friendship of Tusa this I

have done second to move Inland disarm

the peasants and aour my profound

affection for T this I have done

also now only the third part remains to

arrest tosai and send him to France but

under a flag of Truth your Excellency is

that fair of course women do not

understand politics your Excellency may

I have your permission to dance with my

fiance of course you have our permission

as a matter of fact we envy

[Music]

you

[Music]

I really don't feel well I'd like very

much to leave you know poine would

consider that unforgivable we must not

forget she is Napoleon's

sister could easily tell that she's not

a born French woman she's good enough

for our daughter more my dear but the

way she said is that fair or is that

interested in fairness when it concerns

a man whose father was a cannibal

somewhere in Africa possibly but from

what I hear tuai is one of the most

extraordinary men of our

times shall we

dance

[Music]

citizen

Tucan what is this offer of L clur to

make a settlement will he retire from

Haiti give up his master's dream of

Conquest will Napoleon be willing to

acknowledge to the world that we black

men who were slaves but yesterday have
