1
00:00:45,962 --> 00:00:48,005
Old Abe Lincoln.
2
00:00:48,089 --> 00:00:52,510
Came out of the wilderness.
3
00:00:52,593 --> 00:00:56,180
Out of the wilderness.
4
00:00:56,264 --> 00:01:00,017
Out of the wilderness.
5
00:01:00,101 --> 00:01:02,562
Old Abe Lincoln.
6
00:01:02,645 --> 00:01:07,733
Came out of the wilderness.
7
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:13,739
Down in Illinois.
8
00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:52,278
Snow all winter, cloudbursts all spring,
food just about gone.
9
00:01:52,361 --> 00:01:54,155
There's nothing in the ground coming up.
10
00:01:54,238 --> 00:01:56,407
If we stay here much longer,
we'll starve.
11
00:01:56,490 --> 00:01:59,243
You're always saying the same thing,
Tom, no matter where we go.
12
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:02,121
"Pull up stakes and git"
is all you ever think about.
13
00:02:02,288 --> 00:02:05,708
We got nothing to worry about, Pa.
Rain don't last forever.
14
00:02:05,791 --> 00:02:08,085
Even if it stopped,
you wouldn't notice it,
15
00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:11,881
seeing as how your everlasting
got your nose stuck in some book.
16
00:02:11,964 --> 00:02:13,257
What you reading now?
17
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:15,718
That book Squire Noble give me
back in Indiana.
18
00:02:16,302 --> 00:02:17,386
It's called Shakespeare.
19
00:02:18,387 --> 00:02:20,806
What in the name
of tarnation mockery is that?
20
00:02:21,682 --> 00:02:23,100
It's kind of poetry.
21
00:02:23,601 --> 00:02:24,601
Poetry?
22
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:27,688
Hmm. My son.
23
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:30,524
Maybe, if he ever gets time
to get himself an education,
24
00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:32,985
maybe someday he'll write poetry.
25
00:02:36,739 --> 00:02:38,449
Over my dead body, he will.
26
00:02:38,991 --> 00:02:41,535
Well, it's settled.
We're all ready to go.
27
00:02:41,619 --> 00:02:42,662
Go where?
28
00:02:42,745 --> 00:02:45,456
Didn't Abe tell you? A fella named...
29
00:02:45,539 --> 00:02:48,042
Leave me tell them, John.
You talk too slow.
30
00:02:48,125 --> 00:02:51,337
There's a trader named Denton Offut
wants me and John and Abe
31
00:02:51,420 --> 00:02:53,464
to take a flatboat of hogs
down to New Orleans.
32
00:02:53,631 --> 00:02:56,092
He wasn't sure we was the men for it
but we convinced him.
33
00:02:56,175 --> 00:02:58,636
- Good money?
- $20 a month, a piece.
34
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,639
We're starting from a town called
Springfield up the Sangamon River.
35
00:03:01,722 --> 00:03:03,082
- When?
- Right now.
36
00:03:03,140 --> 00:03:05,518
Come on, Abe. Yeah.
If we don't hurry, we'll lose the job.
37
00:03:05,601 --> 00:03:09,855
Who'd have thunk anyone in this family
would ever make $20 a month?
38
00:03:12,983 --> 00:03:14,193
So you're going, Abe?
39
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:19,740
I guess I better do it, Ma.
40
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:29,291
I know I can trust the old man
to your care, Ma.
41
00:03:29,458 --> 00:03:30,960
And we can trust you, Abe.
42
00:03:31,627 --> 00:03:32,878
You're a good boy.
43
00:03:33,629 --> 00:03:35,923
I couldn't have loved you more
if you'd been my own son.
44
00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:40,344
I'll always be thanking you, Ma,
for your great kindness to me.
45
00:03:42,179 --> 00:03:43,973
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
46
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:46,600
you remember what the Good Book says,
47
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:49,145
"The world passeth,
48
00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:53,858
but he that doeth the will of God
abideth forever."
49
00:03:56,652 --> 00:03:58,195
I'll remember, Ma.
50
00:03:59,363 --> 00:04:00,363
Goodbye.
51
00:04:01,866 --> 00:04:02,908
Goodbye...
52
00:04:04,034 --> 00:04:05,077
dear Abe.
53
00:04:26,056 --> 00:04:27,558
The last time I was down south,
54
00:04:27,641 --> 00:04:29,786
they was already talking about
annexing the United States.
55
00:04:29,810 --> 00:04:33,355
I tell you, these suckers up here
don't know their head from an ax handle.
56
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,066
- I remember one time...
- There's a town over there, Mr. Offut.
57
00:04:36,859 --> 00:04:38,778
Yeah. That's New Salem.
58
00:04:39,528 --> 00:04:40,780
Right pretty little place.
59
00:04:40,863 --> 00:04:42,823
It's going to be
bigger than Springfield someday.
60
00:04:43,824 --> 00:04:45,159
No, you don't! No, you don't!
61
00:04:46,202 --> 00:04:49,914
I got all my rag money and shin-plasters
wrapped up in you little squealers,
62
00:04:49,997 --> 00:04:52,291
and I don't calculate to lose it
in the Sangamon.
63
00:04:53,459 --> 00:04:54,543
Heel her over, Abe!
64
00:04:54,877 --> 00:04:56,879
Heel her over! Milldam just ahead!
65
00:05:02,676 --> 00:05:04,804
Heel her over, Abe! Heel her over.
66
00:05:06,263 --> 00:05:07,807
Heel her over, boys. Heel her over.
67
00:05:08,557 --> 00:05:09,725
I'm a-heeling.
68
00:05:30,913 --> 00:05:33,290
Never mind me. Get them pigs!
69
00:06:42,484 --> 00:06:45,070
- My name's Abe Lincoln.
- And mine's Ann Rutledge.
70
00:06:46,113 --> 00:06:48,282
I don't know the name of the pig.
71
00:06:48,407 --> 00:06:51,327
Where are you going
with all those pigs?
72
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:54,705
New Orleans, if we don't hit
any more milldams on the way.
73
00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:56,415
You live here, Miss Rutledge?
74
00:06:56,749 --> 00:07:00,586
Yes. I suppose it doesn't look like much
to a traveled man like you.
75
00:07:00,711 --> 00:07:03,881
Looks like a fine place to me,
fine people.
76
00:07:03,964 --> 00:07:06,383
If you think I like to travel,
you're wrong.
77
00:07:06,467 --> 00:07:09,136
I'm only doing it 'cause I got to,
same as the pigs.
78
00:07:09,678 --> 00:07:11,347
Hey! Hey!
79
00:07:12,389 --> 00:07:14,433
I guess I got to be going.
80
00:07:15,309 --> 00:07:16,560
Goodbye, Miss Rutledge.
81
00:07:16,644 --> 00:07:18,854
I'm pleased
to have made your acquaintance.
82
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:20,147
Goodbye, Mr. Lincoln.
83
00:07:20,814 --> 00:07:21,941
Good luck.
84
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:29,531
Fifty-eight,
fifty-nine, sixty.
85
00:07:30,407 --> 00:07:31,575
Looks like we got them all.
86
00:07:32,201 --> 00:07:34,703
Nice people, them people. You know what?
87
00:07:35,162 --> 00:07:37,748
Soon as I get back, I'm going
to open up a store in that town.
88
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:40,626
Think you'd like to work for me? Abe?
89
00:07:41,126 --> 00:07:42,126
Yes, sir.
90
00:07:42,169 --> 00:07:43,671
- Did you hear me?
- No, sir.
91
00:07:44,004 --> 00:07:46,882
I said I'm going to open up a store
in that town as soon as I get back.
92
00:07:47,132 --> 00:07:48,842
- Do you want to work for me?
- Yes, Sir.
93
00:07:53,222 --> 00:07:54,390
I sure do.
94
00:08:11,782 --> 00:08:13,951
With all I know about Denton Offut,
95
00:08:14,034 --> 00:08:17,037
I can bet you a coonskin cap
against your Sunday pants,
96
00:08:17,121 --> 00:08:19,415
he don't show up in New Salem
like he promised.
97
00:08:19,498 --> 00:08:21,792
Well, if he don't, he don't then.
That's simple, ain't it?
98
00:08:22,209 --> 00:08:23,711
You got other interests in New Salem?
99
00:08:23,794 --> 00:08:25,212
Nope. Don't know anybody.
100
00:08:25,295 --> 00:08:29,591
Well, nobody excepting Ann Rutledge,
maybe. You know her?
101
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:31,510
Who don't? Her pa owns the tavern.
102
00:08:32,177 --> 00:08:33,512
Where did you meet her?
103
00:08:33,595 --> 00:08:36,390
I was with a pig,
and she spoke to me first.
104
00:08:54,116 --> 00:08:56,243
We was pioneers in them days,
105
00:08:56,493 --> 00:08:59,121
and we didn't have no luxuries
to live on like we got today.
106
00:08:59,538 --> 00:09:02,416
We didn't have no cutlets
with gravy and corn dodgers.
107
00:09:02,833 --> 00:09:04,001
No, sirree!
108
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:07,629
Fried salt pork
was a Sunday dish in them days.
109
00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:09,715
What did you eat on Saturday, Ben,
beans?
110
00:09:13,052 --> 00:09:15,512
- What's happening?
- Election day. That's old Ben Mattling.
111
00:09:15,929 --> 00:09:17,723
Makes the same speech every year.
112
00:09:19,183 --> 00:09:20,726
But we didn't complain, neither!
113
00:09:21,268 --> 00:09:23,395
We fought in the revolutionary war.
114
00:09:23,771 --> 00:09:26,398
We weren't no milksops
like you are today.
115
00:09:26,815 --> 00:09:30,986
If the country is going to the dogs,
why don't you do something about it?
116
00:09:31,153 --> 00:09:33,530
I'm talking to you like a soldier.
117
00:09:33,864 --> 00:09:36,742
I helped to found
this miserable country.
118
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:39,536
Didn't you get no assistance
from Washington and Jefferson?
119
00:09:41,288 --> 00:09:43,040
Shut up, Jack. Let him talk.
120
00:09:43,290 --> 00:09:45,793
Now what I want to know is this...
121
00:09:47,044 --> 00:09:48,670
How are you going to vote today?
122
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:51,715
We'll vote as we goshdarn please,
you old windbag.
123
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:53,467
Come on, boys. Let's go get some liquor.
124
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:56,470
- Who's going to pay for it, Jack?
- Who said anything about paying?
125
00:09:56,553 --> 00:10:00,808
In the year 1776,
we stated the proposition
126
00:10:00,891 --> 00:10:02,893
that all men were created equal,
127
00:10:03,644 --> 00:10:04,812
and now look at us!
128
00:10:07,898 --> 00:10:10,359
You keep out of here, you low scum, you!
129
00:10:10,442 --> 00:10:12,236
You'll get no liquor from me today
or any day
130
00:10:12,319 --> 00:10:13,946
till you learn how to behave yourselves.
131
00:10:14,113 --> 00:10:17,449
I believe I said we want liquor.
Did you hear me say it, Mr. McNeil?
132
00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:19,827
Go easy, Armstrong.
We don't want any trouble here.
133
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:21,829
Oh? And what's more,
we won't have any trouble.
134
00:10:21,912 --> 00:10:23,056
Don't you fight with him, John.
135
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,208
No, John, don't you fight with me
if you want to keep your health!
136
00:10:26,291 --> 00:10:27,291
Let him go, I tell you!
137
00:10:27,459 --> 00:10:28,794
Afraid I might do something
138
00:10:28,877 --> 00:10:30,754
to that pretty face
of your future husband?
139
00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:33,966
Never mind, Miss Annie.
I won't damage him.
140
00:10:34,341 --> 00:10:36,260
If he's what you want, you can have him.
141
00:10:38,428 --> 00:10:40,514
And since you ain't got the hospitality
to invite us,
142
00:10:40,597 --> 00:10:43,100
I guess we might as well help ourselves.
Come on, boys!
143
00:10:49,273 --> 00:10:50,816
Our clothes was all wore out.
144
00:10:50,899 --> 00:10:53,569
Our shoes was all wore out.
And most of...
145
00:10:53,652 --> 00:10:55,922
The Clarey's Grove boys,
they're getting drunk, all of them.
146
00:10:55,946 --> 00:10:58,365
They'll break up the whole tavern.
Can't anybody do anything?
147
00:10:58,991 --> 00:11:00,492
Can't you speak to them, Judge Green?
148
00:11:00,576 --> 00:11:03,120
I'm afraid, Miss Ann,
it wouldn't do a particle of good.
149
00:11:03,245 --> 00:11:06,540
You're right, Judge.
Not a particle of good.
150
00:11:07,082 --> 00:11:09,585
I tell you, you ought to listen
to what the Judge says.
151
00:11:11,128 --> 00:11:13,338
He's got a round belly but a level head.
152
00:11:13,964 --> 00:11:16,800
Nobody can do nothing with me
without licking me first.
153
00:11:17,050 --> 00:11:19,344
- If was a mite younger...
- Easy, Ben.
154
00:11:23,932 --> 00:11:25,809
I'm the big buck of this lick,
155
00:11:26,351 --> 00:11:29,271
and any of you want to wet your horns,
all you got to do is...
156
00:11:32,232 --> 00:11:33,275
give that hat a kick.
157
00:11:36,153 --> 00:11:38,989
Don't you worry, Trum.
Nobody will dare to damage it.
158
00:11:41,533 --> 00:11:43,076
You want to fight, stranger?
159
00:11:43,660 --> 00:11:44,786
Not particularly.
160
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:46,788
If you change your mind,
there's the hat.
161
00:11:47,289 --> 00:11:50,167
If I were a man, Jack Armstrong,
I'd give you the thrashing you deserve.
162
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:55,464
You ain't a man, Miss Annie,
and praise be for that.
163
00:11:56,006 --> 00:11:58,550
You're a female,
and a pretty goshdarn appealing one.
164
00:11:58,967 --> 00:12:01,345
Can't you see I'm the only man there is
in this measly town?
165
00:12:01,553 --> 00:12:02,553
Leave go of me!
166
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,893
I changed my mind.
167
00:12:11,688 --> 00:12:13,565
Excuse me, mister,
but it had to be done.
168
00:12:13,649 --> 00:12:14,983
Better be careful, stranger.
169
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:17,110
You're up against
the greatest fighter in this town.
170
00:12:17,194 --> 00:12:19,863
Thank you, gentlemen,
but we've all got to learn sometime.
171
00:12:23,033 --> 00:12:25,619
That's the spirit, Mr. Flop Ears.
172
00:12:27,663 --> 00:12:28,663
Shake hands?
173
00:12:29,581 --> 00:12:30,666
Pleasure.
174
00:12:36,421 --> 00:12:39,341
That was quite a hearty handshake.
175
00:12:39,424 --> 00:12:40,759
He's bad medicine.
176
00:12:41,426 --> 00:12:42,427
When I was a boy,
177
00:12:42,511 --> 00:12:47,182
I didn't like molasses and sulfur either
but I got so I could take it.
178
00:12:50,852 --> 00:12:51,937
Want another?
179
00:12:52,145 --> 00:12:53,438
Shouldn't be surprised.
180
00:13:16,628 --> 00:13:17,628
Watch him!
181
00:13:19,965 --> 00:13:20,966
Get him!
182
00:13:34,604 --> 00:13:35,604
Get him!
183
00:13:59,546 --> 00:14:00,546
Watch him!
184
00:14:01,256 --> 00:14:02,299
Get him!
185
00:14:04,134 --> 00:14:05,510
Watch out for his dirty tricks.
186
00:14:14,394 --> 00:14:17,856
Lick him, stranger,
and you'll be my friend for life.
187
00:14:39,961 --> 00:14:42,130
That's it! That's it! Go after him!
188
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:51,515
Are you satisfied?
189
00:14:52,432 --> 00:14:53,475
I'm satisfied.
190
00:14:55,394 --> 00:14:57,646
Also, I'm quite considerable surprised.
191
00:14:58,438 --> 00:14:59,481
So am I.
192
00:15:00,273 --> 00:15:02,835
- It was an accident.
- Stranger didn't fight fair.
193
00:15:02,859 --> 00:15:04,403
- Rassle him again, Jack.
- No, sir.
194
00:15:04,861 --> 00:15:07,447
No more rassling
with this long-legged son of vengeance.
195
00:15:08,156 --> 00:15:12,202
I'm here to admit to one and all
that New Salem has a new champion.
196
00:15:13,912 --> 00:15:14,913
Congratulations.
197
00:15:14,996 --> 00:15:16,081
Fine work.
198
00:15:17,499 --> 00:15:19,000
That was good work, Mr. Lincoln.
199
00:15:19,084 --> 00:15:21,020
You're the man we've been waiting for
in New Salem.
200
00:15:21,044 --> 00:15:22,921
Thank you for remembering my name.
201
00:15:23,004 --> 00:15:24,047
Oh, you've met before?
202
00:15:24,506 --> 00:15:26,508
In a sort of informal way.
203
00:15:26,967 --> 00:15:28,218
I hope you'll be staying here.
204
00:15:28,301 --> 00:15:29,678
I hope so, Miss Rutledge.
205
00:15:39,312 --> 00:15:41,231
Looks like we'll have to
delay the voting.
206
00:15:41,314 --> 00:15:42,667
We haven't anyone to act as clerk yet.
207
00:15:42,691 --> 00:15:44,776
- Here you are, stranger.
- Oh, thank you.
208
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:46,194
- What's your name?
- Lincoln.
209
00:15:46,319 --> 00:15:48,530
- Abraham Lincoln.
- My name is Joshua Speed.
210
00:15:48,697 --> 00:15:49,531
Glad to meet you.
211
00:15:49,614 --> 00:15:51,300
Let me introduce you
to our leading citizens.
212
00:15:51,324 --> 00:15:52,951
- Judge Bowling Green.
- How do you do?
213
00:15:53,034 --> 00:15:54,703
And Mr. Mentor Graham, our schoolmaster.
214
00:15:54,786 --> 00:15:55,787
Glad to meet all of you.
215
00:15:55,871 --> 00:15:57,372
Good afternoon. Can you write?
216
00:15:57,789 --> 00:15:59,749
I guess I can make a few hen tracks.
217
00:16:01,209 --> 00:16:04,212
Good. Then you can help tabulate votes.
Give him the oath, Bowling.
218
00:16:04,379 --> 00:16:06,506
Raise your right hand. Repeat after me.
219
00:16:06,715 --> 00:16:09,843
I, Abraham Lincoln, do solemnly swear
to uphold the constitution...
220
00:16:09,926 --> 00:16:11,052
Wait a minute, mister.
221
00:16:11,303 --> 00:16:12,596
What are you getting me into?
222
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:14,866
He wants to put you to work
for the government, Mr. Lincoln.
223
00:16:14,890 --> 00:16:17,142
No, you don't.
I don't want to be no politician.
224
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,104
Hey, nonsense.
All you're going to do is to see
225
00:16:21,188 --> 00:16:23,482
that we get an honest vote.
Come on now, take the oath.
226
00:16:23,607 --> 00:16:25,108
Go ahead, Mr. Lincoln.
227
00:16:25,192 --> 00:16:27,819
You're the only one
those Clarey's Grove boys will respect.
228
00:16:30,322 --> 00:16:31,490
All right, Mr...
229
00:16:31,573 --> 00:16:32,782
Gale. Seth Gale.
230
00:16:33,241 --> 00:16:35,494
- Howdy.
- Same to you.
231
00:16:40,248 --> 00:16:43,585
I, Abraham Lincoln, do solemnly swear
232
00:16:43,668 --> 00:16:45,462
to uphold the constitution...
233
00:16:45,754 --> 00:16:47,514
...of the United States of America.
234
00:16:48,965 --> 00:16:51,134
...of the United States of America.
235
00:16:57,724 --> 00:16:58,975
Let's see now.
236
00:16:59,142 --> 00:17:02,729
I got my hickory shirt,
and I got my pound of beans,
237
00:17:03,438 --> 00:17:05,357
and give me a pair of buckskin gloves.
238
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:08,902
Ain't got no buckskin gloves,
but these are dog skin,
239
00:17:08,985 --> 00:17:10,403
they only cost 75 cent.
240
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:13,698
They look good.
How do you know they're dog skin?
241
00:17:13,949 --> 00:17:15,116
Tell you how I know.
242
00:17:15,450 --> 00:17:17,827
Jack Clarey's dog
kills Tom Watkins' sheep.
243
00:17:17,911 --> 00:17:19,871
Tom Watkins' boy kills his dog.
244
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:23,792
Old John Mounst tans the dog skin
and Sally Spears makes the gloves.
245
00:17:23,875 --> 00:17:25,919
That's how I come to know
they're dog skin.
246
00:17:28,797 --> 00:17:30,006
So that's how, is it?
247
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:31,925
I'll take them,
248
00:17:32,008 --> 00:17:33,843
but you'll have to trust me
for the money.
249
00:17:34,094 --> 00:17:37,430
Anybody ever offered us cash
in this store, we'd drop dead.
250
00:17:39,349 --> 00:17:42,060
I'll remember that, Abe,
when I pay in here again.
251
00:17:46,106 --> 00:17:50,151
Abe, I'm a restless man,
got the soul of a gypsy.
252
00:17:50,527 --> 00:17:52,320
Feel the urge to pull out of New Salem.
253
00:17:52,612 --> 00:17:53,613
Why, I'm sorry...
254
00:17:53,697 --> 00:17:55,198
But I want to show my appreciation
255
00:17:55,282 --> 00:17:57,200
for the fine work you've done
in my employ.
256
00:17:57,284 --> 00:17:59,119
No thanks are necessary, Mr. Offut.
257
00:17:59,202 --> 00:18:01,580
I'm going to give you
more than mere thanks, my friend.
258
00:18:01,871 --> 00:18:03,873
I'm going to make you
a present of this store.
259
00:18:04,124 --> 00:18:06,793
Yes, sir, Abe, it's all yours,
lock, stock and barrel.
260
00:18:06,876 --> 00:18:08,479
Why that's mighty generous of you,
Mr. Offut...
261
00:18:08,503 --> 00:18:09,629
Not a word, Abe. Not a word.
262
00:18:10,255 --> 00:18:13,174
I'm making this gesture
solely because that's the way I am.
263
00:18:14,050 --> 00:18:15,969
- Good night, Abe.
- But, Mr. Offut...
264
00:18:17,220 --> 00:18:20,765
There's one thing, and I hope
you'll excuse me to mention it,
265
00:18:20,849 --> 00:18:22,976
but just how much money do you owe here?
266
00:18:25,186 --> 00:18:26,938
I knew you was a smart man, Abe.
267
00:18:27,814 --> 00:18:30,692
Yes, sir. I've always been
a shrewd judge of character.
268
00:18:30,775 --> 00:18:33,528
With your brain and energy,
you'll make a go of this store,
269
00:18:33,612 --> 00:18:36,364
and it won't take you long
to pay off the sum of $1,500.
270
00:18:36,906 --> 00:18:38,617
- Good night.
- Good night, Mr. Offut.
271
00:18:53,006 --> 00:18:54,382
Good evening, Abe.
272
00:18:54,591 --> 00:18:55,634
Good evening, Mentor.
273
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:05,810
Let's see.
Where were we when we left off?
274
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:09,272
You said at this lesson
we'd review the moods.
275
00:19:09,522 --> 00:19:11,316
Ah, yes, the moods.
276
00:19:12,233 --> 00:19:14,152
Every one of us has many moods.
277
00:19:14,861 --> 00:19:17,489
You yourself have
more than your share, Abe.
278
00:19:18,114 --> 00:19:20,700
They express the various aspects
of your character.
279
00:19:22,410 --> 00:19:23,410
You must try and...
280
00:19:23,787 --> 00:19:26,039
consider this language
as if it were a living person.
281
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:28,666
Now...
282
00:19:29,292 --> 00:19:31,044
name me the five moods.
283
00:19:34,089 --> 00:19:35,131
Abe?
284
00:19:38,301 --> 00:19:39,344
Excuse me, Mentor.
285
00:19:39,886 --> 00:19:41,930
I asked you to name me the five moods.
286
00:19:44,474 --> 00:19:48,978
The indicative, imperative,
potential, subjunctive and infinitive.
287
00:19:49,229 --> 00:19:50,313
And what do they signify?
288
00:19:50,563 --> 00:19:52,107
The indicative mood's the easy one.
289
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:55,860
That just indicates a thing,
like "He loves" or "He is loved."
290
00:19:56,444 --> 00:19:58,363
The imperative mood
is used for commanding,
291
00:19:58,446 --> 00:20:00,615
like "Get out and be danged to you."
292
00:20:01,866 --> 00:20:03,535
Is that the best example
you can think of?
293
00:20:03,618 --> 00:20:06,538
You can put it in the Bible way
like "Go thou in peace"
294
00:20:06,621 --> 00:20:07,872
but it's still imperative.
295
00:20:09,624 --> 00:20:10,750
And the potential?
296
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:15,213
That just signifies possibility,
usually of an unpleasant nature,
297
00:20:15,296 --> 00:20:19,592
like "If I ever get out of debt,
I'll probably get right back in again."
298
00:20:20,468 --> 00:20:22,137
Debts keep piling up on you, Abe?
299
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:25,014
I'm afraid it's my own fault.
I'm my father's son.
300
00:20:25,098 --> 00:20:27,726
Give me a good, steady job
and I'll fail at it.
301
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:30,478
You haven't been a failure, Abe.
302
00:20:31,604 --> 00:20:33,231
There's not a manjack in this community
303
00:20:33,314 --> 00:20:35,942
that isn't fond of you
and anxious to see you get ahead.
304
00:20:36,901 --> 00:20:38,319
I know, just like you, Mentor,
305
00:20:38,403 --> 00:20:40,572
sitting up late nights
to give me learning,
306
00:20:40,655 --> 00:20:42,323
just out of the kindness of your heart.
307
00:20:43,158 --> 00:20:46,786
Now Judge Green and Josh Speed
and a few others I owe money to
308
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:48,872
want to get me the job of postmaster,
309
00:20:49,330 --> 00:20:50,915
thinking maybe I can handle that,
310
00:20:50,999 --> 00:20:53,251
since there's only one mail
comes in a week.
311
00:20:54,794 --> 00:20:57,338
Well, Abe,
there are always two occupations
312
00:20:57,422 --> 00:20:59,924
open to those
who have failed at everything else.
313
00:21:00,675 --> 00:21:02,677
There's school teaching and politics.
314
00:21:04,012 --> 00:21:05,221
I'll take school teaching.
315
00:21:05,305 --> 00:21:07,223
You go into politics,
and you may get elected.
316
00:21:07,307 --> 00:21:09,660
Then you got to go to the city,
and I don't want none of that.
317
00:21:09,684 --> 00:21:12,044
- What did I say about two negatives?
- I meant any of that.
318
00:21:12,687 --> 00:21:14,397
What's your objection to cities, Abe?
319
00:21:15,273 --> 00:21:16,274
You ever seen one?
320
00:21:16,858 --> 00:21:20,487
Sure. I've been downriver
to New Orleans.
321
00:21:21,821 --> 00:21:25,408
Do you know every minute
of the time I was there I was scared?
322
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:27,535
I was scared of people.
323
00:21:28,203 --> 00:21:32,373
Did you imagine that they'd rob you
of all your gold and your jewels?
324
00:21:32,916 --> 00:21:34,000
No.
325
00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:37,086
I was scared they'd kill me.
326
00:21:48,765 --> 00:21:51,267
Why? Why should they want to kill you?
327
00:21:52,101 --> 00:21:53,186
I don't know.
328
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:58,691
You're a hopeless mess
of inconsistency, Abe Lincoln.
329
00:22:00,401 --> 00:22:02,070
You understand, don't you, Ann?
330
00:22:05,114 --> 00:22:06,574
How long will you be gone, John?
331
00:22:07,325 --> 00:22:09,118
Oh, two or three months, that's all.
332
00:22:09,994 --> 00:22:10,994
I'll miss you...
333
00:22:12,247 --> 00:22:13,623
every minute of the time.
334
00:22:15,792 --> 00:22:16,960
This was my mother's.
335
00:22:18,086 --> 00:22:20,505
My father gave it to her
when they became engaged.
336
00:22:29,389 --> 00:22:30,849
All you must ever think about,
337
00:22:31,307 --> 00:22:33,518
all I'll ever think about
is that I love you...
338
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:37,105
and we're going to be wonderfully happy.
339
00:22:39,691 --> 00:22:40,691
John...
340
00:22:42,026 --> 00:22:43,111
tell me that again.
341
00:22:45,113 --> 00:22:46,656
Tell me we're going to be happy.
342
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,038
Hey, Abe, have you seen this?
343
00:22:55,874 --> 00:22:58,793
The governor's calling for a troop
of volunteers right here in New Salem.
344
00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:00,157
You'll be going, won't you, Abe?
345
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:01,545
I don't know.
346
00:23:01,588 --> 00:23:04,674
Seems to me as if those Indians
had a right to their own land.
347
00:23:04,757 --> 00:23:07,302
Yes, but if we want to settle
in Kansas-Nebraska territory
348
00:23:07,385 --> 00:23:09,985
and live in peace out there,
we've got to fight the Indians first,
349
00:23:10,013 --> 00:23:12,408
just the way your own father did
when he moved into Kentucky.
350
00:23:12,432 --> 00:23:14,225
Hooray!
351
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:16,144
What is it, Jack?
352
00:23:16,352 --> 00:23:19,731
We're all going to war, Abe,
and we've elected you captain.
353
00:23:21,441 --> 00:23:23,526
Looks as if
they've made up my mind for me.
354
00:23:26,696 --> 00:23:28,531
Squad right wheel, march!
355
00:23:35,455 --> 00:23:37,790
Squad right wheel, march!
356
00:23:40,251 --> 00:23:42,921
Left! Left! Left, right, left!
357
00:23:43,004 --> 00:23:44,964
They're known as
Captain Abraham Lincoln's company
358
00:23:45,006 --> 00:23:47,967
of the First Regiment
of the Brigade of Mounted Volunteers.
359
00:23:48,051 --> 00:23:50,303
Yeah, mounted volunteers.
360
00:23:51,012 --> 00:23:53,723
I'd hate to be a horse
and have one of them galoots ride me.
361
00:23:53,806 --> 00:23:55,391
Forward march!
362
00:24:12,158 --> 00:24:14,160
Jack, I've forgotten the command
363
00:24:14,243 --> 00:24:16,287
that will take them
through the gate endwise.
364
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:18,456
Don't ask me, sir. I'm only a sergeant.
365
00:24:27,507 --> 00:24:28,883
Company halt!
366
00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:31,511
The company will break ranks
367
00:24:31,594 --> 00:24:34,138
and form again
on the other side of the gate.
368
00:24:38,059 --> 00:24:39,769
Hey, Abe, look!
369
00:25:02,667 --> 00:25:03,668
Anything for me, Abe?
370
00:25:03,876 --> 00:25:07,005
Yes, Seth. There's one from Maryland,
probably from your folks.
371
00:25:07,088 --> 00:25:08,756
- Twenty eight cents due.
- Thanks, Abe.
372
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,217
- I'll pay you later.
- Anytime, Seth.
373
00:25:12,093 --> 00:25:14,220
Anything for the Rutledge family
this morning?
374
00:25:14,303 --> 00:25:17,640
There's one for your pa,
looks like a liquor advertisement.
375
00:25:18,641 --> 00:25:21,019
There's one from New York state for you.
376
00:25:31,404 --> 00:25:33,531
There's 34 cents due on the two of them.
377
00:25:36,909 --> 00:25:38,286
I haven't got my purse with me.
378
00:25:38,411 --> 00:25:40,788
That's all right, Miss Ann.
The government can wait.
379
00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:42,957
Thank you, Abe, very much.
380
00:26:03,144 --> 00:26:04,437
Good morning, Miss Ann.
381
00:26:04,729 --> 00:26:06,564
My, you're looking prettier every day.
382
00:26:07,398 --> 00:26:08,483
Good news, I hope?
383
00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:10,401
Very good, thank you.
384
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:15,406
Catch me waiting two years for any man.
385
00:26:28,002 --> 00:26:29,146
I beg your pardon, miss.
386
00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:31,005
Can you direct me
to the home of Joshua Speed?
387
00:26:31,172 --> 00:26:33,174
It's that house up there
with the morning glories,
388
00:26:33,257 --> 00:26:34,926
but I think you'll find him
at the tavern.
389
00:26:35,009 --> 00:26:36,469
Thank you, miss. I'm much obliged.
390
00:26:45,019 --> 00:26:46,729
Abe, next to my old man,
391
00:26:46,813 --> 00:26:48,815
I think you're the homeliest critter
I ever saw.
392
00:26:52,401 --> 00:26:53,986
There's a reason, Mrs. Cairns.
393
00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:57,365
When I was two months old,
I was the handsomest child in Kentucky.
394
00:26:57,990 --> 00:27:01,786
My nurse swapped me off for another one
that was kind of plain looking.
395
00:27:05,581 --> 00:27:08,126
Hey, Abe, they want you
over to the tavern.
396
00:27:08,334 --> 00:27:09,335
Who does?
397
00:27:09,418 --> 00:27:10,920
Josh Speed and Bowling Green
398
00:27:11,003 --> 00:27:13,881
and one of them dressed-up fellers
from Springfield.
399
00:27:14,340 --> 00:27:16,175
- What do they want of me?
- I don't know.
400
00:27:16,509 --> 00:27:20,304
But I can tell you this,
I don't like the looks of it!
401
00:27:24,433 --> 00:27:26,727
But he's the best-liked man
in this district.
402
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:27,937
The very man we want.
403
00:27:28,062 --> 00:27:29,540
Maybe it will correct the public belief
404
00:27:29,564 --> 00:27:32,441
that the Whig party is composed only
of the more privileged classes.
405
00:27:32,525 --> 00:27:33,525
Gentlemen.
406
00:27:34,110 --> 00:27:35,862
Abe, I want you to meet
Mr. Ninian Edwards,
407
00:27:35,945 --> 00:27:38,197
a mighty important representative
of our political party.
408
00:27:38,281 --> 00:27:40,825
- Happy to know you, Mr. Edwards.
- Lincoln, it's a pleasure.
409
00:27:40,908 --> 00:27:42,577
Sit down, Abe. We want to talk to you.
410
00:27:43,661 --> 00:27:45,913
Abe, how would you like to run
for the state legislature?
411
00:27:46,205 --> 00:27:48,749
- When?
- Now, for election in the fall.
412
00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:49,792
Why?
413
00:27:49,876 --> 00:27:52,086
The Whig party needs a candidate
from this district.
414
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:55,381
You're the postmaster here,
which gives you valuable contacts.
415
00:27:55,464 --> 00:27:59,177
While delivering mail, you can also
deliver speeches and campaign literature
416
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:01,345
with which our headquarters
will keep you supplied.
417
00:28:02,930 --> 00:28:05,433
Could you supply me
with a suit of store clothes?
418
00:28:05,516 --> 00:28:07,226
A candidate mustn't look too plain.
419
00:28:08,227 --> 00:28:10,938
And what's more, Abe,
in the legislature, you'll get paid,
420
00:28:11,355 --> 00:28:12,440
three whole dollars a day.
421
00:28:12,648 --> 00:28:14,442
Fine money, all right. No denying that.
422
00:28:14,525 --> 00:28:16,194
I can see
what you're getting at, Bowling.
423
00:28:16,277 --> 00:28:18,029
I owe you a considerable sum.
424
00:28:18,154 --> 00:28:20,198
I'm not thinking about the debts, Abe.
425
00:28:20,281 --> 00:28:21,908
I know you ain't, Bowling, but I got to.
426
00:28:21,991 --> 00:28:24,952
I can see, Mr. Lincoln, that you're
the type of man who can handle anyone.
427
00:28:25,036 --> 00:28:27,038
Hmm. Even the Clarey's Grove boys.
428
00:28:27,288 --> 00:28:29,415
I can handle them
because I can out-rassle them,
429
00:28:29,498 --> 00:28:32,460
but I can't go around Sangamon county
throwing all the voters.
430
00:28:35,338 --> 00:28:37,215
You want to get an education,
don't you, Abe?
431
00:28:37,298 --> 00:28:38,716
Here's your chance to do it.
432
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:40,343
In Vandalia, you'll be associating
433
00:28:40,426 --> 00:28:42,136
with all the finest lawyers
in this state.
434
00:28:42,553 --> 00:28:45,514
Important men, like Stephen A. Douglas.
You'll grow.
435
00:28:45,848 --> 00:28:47,475
Thought I'd growed too much already.
436
00:28:47,558 --> 00:28:48,976
Don't listen to him, Abe!
437
00:28:49,352 --> 00:28:50,811
Don't let him get you into politics.
438
00:28:51,187 --> 00:28:53,105
They'll corrupt you just the same
439
00:28:53,189 --> 00:28:56,108
as they've corrupted
the whole dang United States.
440
00:28:56,567 --> 00:28:58,194
You're an honest man, Abe Lincoln.
441
00:28:58,653 --> 00:29:02,573
You're a good-for-nothing,
debt-ridden loafer,
442
00:29:02,823 --> 00:29:04,033
but you're an honest man.
443
00:29:04,158 --> 00:29:07,495
Is that all you have
to say, Uncle Ben?
444
00:29:07,745 --> 00:29:09,997
That's all, and I hope it's enough.
445
00:29:11,999 --> 00:29:13,251
I kind of agree with him.
446
00:29:14,252 --> 00:29:16,754
Well, Mr. Lincoln, we don't demand
your answer immediately,
447
00:29:16,837 --> 00:29:17,880
but think it over.
448
00:29:18,464 --> 00:29:20,341
Now, gentlemen, if you'll excuse me,
449
00:29:20,424 --> 00:29:23,010
I have to put in an appearance
at the torchlight procession
450
00:29:23,094 --> 00:29:25,304
in Springfield this evening,
so I must be moving along.
451
00:29:26,973 --> 00:29:28,349
Just consider what it means
452
00:29:28,975 --> 00:29:30,851
to be starting up the ladder in a nation
453
00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:33,062
which is now expanding southward
through Texas
454
00:29:33,562 --> 00:29:35,523
and westward to the empire
of the Californias.
455
00:29:36,190 --> 00:29:37,483
It's opportunity, Mr. Lincoln.
456
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,819
Opportunity unlimited in scope.
457
00:29:40,945 --> 00:29:41,945
Goodbye, sir.
458
00:29:41,988 --> 00:29:44,115
Goodbye, Mr. Edwards.
Pleasant journey to you.
459
00:30:06,554 --> 00:30:07,781
- Goodbye, gentlemen.
- Goodbye.
460
00:30:07,805 --> 00:30:08,889
Goodbye, Ninian.
461
00:30:23,904 --> 00:30:25,031
Ann?
462
00:30:25,865 --> 00:30:26,949
What is it?
463
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:29,410
That letter you got
from New York State...
464
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:31,620
What do you know about that letter?
465
00:30:32,038 --> 00:30:33,456
I'm the postmaster.
466
00:30:33,539 --> 00:30:36,125
Guess I know more than I ought to
about people's private affairs,
467
00:30:37,418 --> 00:30:40,880
but I couldn't help seeing
that was the handwriting of Mr. McNeil.
468
00:30:41,881 --> 00:30:43,924
Whatever the letter said,
it's no concern of yours.
469
00:30:44,008 --> 00:30:45,801
I know that, but it makes me sad
470
00:30:45,885 --> 00:30:47,636
to think it's something
could have hurt you.
471
00:30:48,387 --> 00:30:49,847
If I could help you, Ann...
472
00:30:50,431 --> 00:30:54,060
You know, when you're distressed
about something,
473
00:30:54,143 --> 00:30:55,436
it's a comfort sometimes
474
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:58,314
even to have a pair of ears
to pour your troubles into,
475
00:30:58,397 --> 00:31:00,816
and my ears are big enough
to hold a lot.
476
00:31:01,817 --> 00:31:03,903
You're a Christian gentleman,
Abe Lincoln.
477
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,614
No, I ain't. I'm a plain common sucker
478
00:31:06,697 --> 00:31:09,325
with a shirttail so short
I can't sit on it.
479
00:31:10,743 --> 00:31:13,788
You can always say something
to make a person laugh, can't you?
480
00:31:13,871 --> 00:31:17,792
Oh, I don't need to say anything.
A person just has to look at me.
481
00:31:19,418 --> 00:31:20,961
You were right about the letter, Abe.
482
00:31:21,504 --> 00:31:24,382
John says he doesn't know when
he'll be able to get back to New Salem,
483
00:31:25,216 --> 00:31:27,885
by which he probably means... never.
484
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:30,638
- I wouldn't say that, Ann.
- I would.
485
00:31:31,806 --> 00:31:33,641
Do you love him so much?
486
00:31:34,642 --> 00:31:35,684
I thought I did,
487
00:31:36,143 --> 00:31:37,895
but I guess
I couldn't really love anyone
488
00:31:37,978 --> 00:31:40,439
who was as faithless as that.
489
00:31:41,816 --> 00:31:44,944
You see, I can't help thinking
what they're saying about me,
490
00:31:45,694 --> 00:31:47,488
all the old gossips all over town.
491
00:31:48,155 --> 00:31:49,949
It's just weakness, I guess.
492
00:31:51,033 --> 00:31:52,033
Vanity.
493
00:31:52,159 --> 00:31:54,120
Something you couldn't understand, Abe.
494
00:31:54,787 --> 00:31:56,747
Maybe I can understand it, Ann.
495
00:32:01,627 --> 00:32:03,421
I got a kind of vanity myself.
496
00:32:03,838 --> 00:32:05,714
I guess it's nothing but vanity
497
00:32:05,798 --> 00:32:08,801
that's kept me from declaring
my inclination towards you.
498
00:32:09,969 --> 00:32:11,762
See, I don't like
to be sniggered at either.
499
00:32:11,846 --> 00:32:13,514
I know what I am.
I know what I look like.
500
00:32:13,597 --> 00:32:17,101
I know I got nothing to offer any girl
I'd be in love with.
501
00:32:19,311 --> 00:32:21,439
Are you saying
you're in love with me, Abe?
502
00:32:23,941 --> 00:32:26,318
Yes, I am saying that.
503
00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:31,031
I've been loving you
for a long time with all my heart.
504
00:32:32,950 --> 00:32:35,453
You see, Ann,
you're a particularly fine girl.
505
00:32:39,582 --> 00:32:42,293
But I don't want to worry you about it.
506
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,045
I was only thinking
if you'd do me the honor
507
00:32:45,129 --> 00:32:48,883
of keeping company with me for a while,
it might shut the old gossips' mouths.
508
00:32:49,550 --> 00:32:53,637
They'd figure you'd chuck McNeil
for someone else, even me.
509
00:32:56,056 --> 00:32:59,727
Do you think I was too forward
in speaking out as I did?
510
00:33:01,312 --> 00:33:02,563
No, Abe.
511
00:33:03,564 --> 00:33:08,152
I've always thought a lot of you,
the way I thought you were,
512
00:33:08,819 --> 00:33:10,946
but the idea of love
between you and me...
513
00:33:11,572 --> 00:33:13,449
I can't say how I feel about that.
514
00:33:14,992 --> 00:33:18,412
But I can tell you this much now,
and truthfully.
515
00:33:19,955 --> 00:33:23,125
If I ever do love you,
I'll be happy about it,
516
00:33:23,959 --> 00:33:26,587
and lucky to be loving
a good, decent man.
517
00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:32,718
If you'll just give me
a little time to think about it.
518
00:33:33,219 --> 00:33:35,554
You mean if you took time,
you might get in your heart
519
00:33:35,638 --> 00:33:37,932
something like the feeling
I have for you?
520
00:33:38,974 --> 00:33:40,142
I don't know, Abe.
521
00:33:43,604 --> 00:33:47,775
But I do know you're a man
who could fill anyone's heart.
522
00:33:49,735 --> 00:33:53,113
Yes, fill it and warm it
523
00:33:54,823 --> 00:33:56,617
and make it glad to be living.
524
00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:26,272
And join your hands and all go West.
525
00:34:28,065 --> 00:34:30,609
Right-hand swing and promenade the ring.
526
00:34:38,158 --> 00:34:39,785
First couple, bounce and swing.
527
00:34:39,868 --> 00:34:41,912
And away you go to the right of the ring.
528
00:34:44,206 --> 00:34:46,125
Bird's in the cage
And three hands around.
529
00:34:48,210 --> 00:34:49,920
Bird hops out and the crow hops in.
530
00:34:50,004 --> 00:34:51,964
And all hands round and let her go again.
531
00:34:52,047 --> 00:34:53,882
And do-si, ladies, do-si-do.
532
00:34:53,966 --> 00:34:56,427
And one more whirl and on you go.
533
00:34:58,178 --> 00:34:59,888
On to the next with the bird in the cage.
534
00:34:59,972 --> 00:35:01,098
And three hands round.
535
00:35:06,228 --> 00:35:08,188
Bird hops out and the crow hops in.
536
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:10,316
Three hands round and let her go again.
537
00:35:12,359 --> 00:35:14,069
Bounce four in the middle of the floor.
538
00:35:14,153 --> 00:35:16,363
Like a woodchuck chipping
On a schoolhouse door.
539
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:18,324
And do-si, ladies, do-si, gents.
540
00:35:20,868 --> 00:35:24,163
What's the matter with you, Abe?
You, the guest of honor, not dancing?
541
00:35:24,246 --> 00:35:26,540
I'd like to,
but my feet won't work right.
542
00:35:32,338 --> 00:35:35,257
Ann Rutledge sure is acting
as gay as all get-out.
543
00:35:35,924 --> 00:35:39,178
She's just trying to hide the misery
that's in her heart.
544
00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:42,264
They tell me that locket
is the one that John McNeil gave her.
545
00:35:42,348 --> 00:35:44,600
She ought to forget him, I say.
546
00:35:45,392 --> 00:35:47,269
I reckon she wishes she could.
547
00:35:48,270 --> 00:35:50,522
Meet your partner and promenade.
548
00:35:52,441 --> 00:35:54,068
First the lady off to the right.
549
00:35:54,151 --> 00:35:58,113
Then cheat or swing or do as you like
But don't forget your own.
550
00:36:00,824 --> 00:36:02,701
On to the next and cheat or swing.
551
00:36:02,785 --> 00:36:05,287
Or do as you like
But don't forget your own.
552
00:36:05,579 --> 00:36:08,040
Faster, Uncle Ben. Faster!
553
00:36:08,123 --> 00:36:11,001
On to the next and cheat or swing
Or do as you like.
554
00:36:22,554 --> 00:36:23,555
Help!
555
00:36:33,899 --> 00:36:35,059
Get some water, Abe.
556
00:36:37,069 --> 00:36:38,153
She's all right, Doc.
557
00:36:38,237 --> 00:36:40,447
The excitement
was just a little too much for her.
558
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:52,501
Here's the water, Doc.
559
00:36:52,876 --> 00:36:53,876
Thanks, Abe.
560
00:36:59,925 --> 00:37:01,301
She'll be all right, Doc?
561
00:37:01,427 --> 00:37:03,303
Oh, I don't think there's need
for any worry.
562
00:37:03,887 --> 00:37:05,639
Better be getting her on home.
563
00:37:15,983 --> 00:37:17,109
It's all right, Ann.
564
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:21,572
I don't know what happened.
565
00:37:22,364 --> 00:37:23,532
I'm all right, Abe.
566
00:37:24,575 --> 00:37:25,784
I feel fine now.
567
00:37:29,037 --> 00:37:31,290
Did you notice
whether she's been ailing any lately?
568
00:37:31,373 --> 00:37:34,585
She seemed kind of droopy,
but we didn't think much of it.
569
00:37:35,085 --> 00:37:36,545
Why? Do you think she's took sick?
570
00:37:36,628 --> 00:37:38,797
Oh, there's no cause for alarm,
571
00:37:38,881 --> 00:37:41,383
but just to be on the safe side,
I'll ride back with her.
572
00:37:47,347 --> 00:37:48,432
I was scared.
573
00:37:49,057 --> 00:37:50,601
You needn't be, Abe.
574
00:37:51,685 --> 00:37:53,353
I'm sorry I made such a fool of myself.
575
00:37:55,981 --> 00:37:58,609
You mustn't think of anything
but winning that election.
576
00:37:59,735 --> 00:38:01,111
You've got to win, Abe.
577
00:38:02,529 --> 00:38:04,239
And I'll be cheering for you
when you do.
578
00:38:05,574 --> 00:38:07,576
Good night, Abe. Thanks.
579
00:38:08,911 --> 00:38:09,912
Good night, Ann.
580
00:38:12,748 --> 00:38:13,916
Good night, Abe.
581
00:38:21,507 --> 00:38:23,675
Down in Kentucky where I was born,
582
00:38:23,759 --> 00:38:26,428
it was pretty wild country
and wild people in it.
583
00:38:26,845 --> 00:38:30,891
I heard tell of a woman
who came to her cabin door one day
584
00:38:30,974 --> 00:38:33,811
and found her husband
grappling with a ferocious bear.
585
00:38:34,186 --> 00:38:36,647
It was a fight to the death,
and the bear was winning.
586
00:38:37,314 --> 00:38:39,066
The struggling husband
cried to his wife,
587
00:38:39,149 --> 00:38:40,734
"For heaven's sake, do something!"
588
00:38:40,818 --> 00:38:42,069
Wife asked what could she do?
589
00:38:42,152 --> 00:38:45,072
Said the husband, "You can at least say
something encouraging."
590
00:38:45,823 --> 00:38:48,909
But the wife, not wishing
to take sides in this combat,
591
00:38:48,992 --> 00:38:51,370
hollered, "Go it, husband! Go it, bear!"
592
00:38:54,748 --> 00:38:58,460
Now that's the way I'll be if elected.
I'll be like the man's wife.
593
00:38:58,544 --> 00:39:02,631
I'll cheer for everybody so as
I'm sure to be on the winning side.
594
00:39:05,884 --> 00:39:07,094
Where are you going, Abe?
595
00:39:07,386 --> 00:39:10,764
Come on. Let's finish with the voting.
We can't be all night about this.
596
00:39:12,349 --> 00:39:13,642
What does the doctor say, Jack?
597
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:16,019
It's the brain fever, Abe.
598
00:39:16,937 --> 00:39:18,021
She's pretty bad.
599
00:39:20,065 --> 00:39:21,149
Thank you, Jack.
600
00:39:33,328 --> 00:39:34,621
Who you voting for?
601
00:39:34,705 --> 00:39:36,248
I'm voting for Abe Lincoln.
602
00:39:36,331 --> 00:39:37,331
That's good.
603
00:39:39,793 --> 00:39:41,253
Who you voting for, Trum?
604
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,547
- For Abe.
- Who?
605
00:39:44,131 --> 00:39:46,049
I said I'm voting for Mr. Lincoln.
606
00:39:46,592 --> 00:39:47,676
You'd better.
607
00:39:50,429 --> 00:39:52,431
"Therefore his sisters sent unto Him,
608
00:39:53,390 --> 00:39:54,975
saying, 'Lord, behold,
609
00:39:55,851 --> 00:39:57,477
he whom thou lovest is sick.'
610
00:39:58,186 --> 00:39:59,479
When Jesus heard that,
611
00:40:00,314 --> 00:40:03,358
He said, 'This sickness
is not unto death,
612
00:40:03,942 --> 00:40:05,569
but for the glory of God,
613
00:40:06,153 --> 00:40:09,531
that the son of God
might be glorified thereby.
614
00:40:44,858 --> 00:40:46,234
You have come to me,
615
00:40:47,653 --> 00:40:49,279
and I wanted you so much.
616
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:52,866
Come close to me.
617
00:41:01,291 --> 00:41:03,210
Tell me we will be happy.
618
00:41:04,044 --> 00:41:05,587
We're going to be happy, Ann.
619
00:41:07,047 --> 00:41:09,549
I know I got less than nothing
to offer you,
620
00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:15,097
but whatever I am, whatever I could be,
621
00:41:16,223 --> 00:41:20,435
my life belongs to you,
and it always will until the day I die.
622
00:41:23,939 --> 00:41:25,107
I love you.
623
00:41:26,817 --> 00:41:28,402
I do love you.
624
00:41:30,487 --> 00:41:32,489
I knew you'd come back to me.
625
00:41:34,324 --> 00:41:36,326
Don't ever go away from me again.
626
00:41:39,413 --> 00:41:41,039
We will be happy.
627
00:41:57,973 --> 00:41:59,516
Old Abe Lincoln.
628
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:02,269
Came out of the wilderness.
629
00:42:02,728 --> 00:42:05,147
Out of the wilderness.
630
00:42:05,397 --> 00:42:07,691
Out of the wilderness.
631
00:42:08,025 --> 00:42:09,943
Old Abe Lincoln...
632
00:42:10,318 --> 00:42:13,613
Abe carried New Salem
by 205 votes to three!
633
00:42:13,697 --> 00:42:16,324
My boys are out trying to find
the three skunks who voted wrong.
634
00:42:18,201 --> 00:42:19,703
Old Abe Lincoln.
635
00:42:20,245 --> 00:42:23,248
Came out of the wilderness.
636
00:42:23,331 --> 00:42:24,958
Out of the wilderness...
637
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,547
Get her tight, Fergus.
Straighten her out so we can see her.
638
00:42:35,385 --> 00:42:36,385
No, you don't.
639
00:42:36,428 --> 00:42:38,388
I don't wear no soup kettle for nobody.
640
00:42:38,472 --> 00:42:40,849
You ain't no better than Abe Lincoln,
and he's wearing one.
641
00:42:41,725 --> 00:42:43,602
All right, boys, here we go.
642
00:42:43,810 --> 00:42:46,646
Down to Judge Green's house
to pick up the new legislator!
643
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,126
They're coming, Abe.
644
00:43:36,905 --> 00:43:39,449
"A large mass meeting
in Boston, Massachusetts.
645
00:43:39,741 --> 00:43:41,827
Many orators paid tribute
to the heroic memory
646
00:43:41,910 --> 00:43:43,495
of the late Elijah Lovejoy.
647
00:43:43,995 --> 00:43:47,165
Thousands of New Englanders shouted,
"He shall be avenged."
648
00:43:48,458 --> 00:43:51,294
I wonder what the great
Stephen A. Douglas has to say to that.
649
00:43:52,003 --> 00:43:54,714
The great Stephen A. Douglas
has this much to say.
650
00:43:55,966 --> 00:43:58,969
Freedom of the press is all very well
until liberty becomes license.
651
00:43:59,803 --> 00:44:01,197
Lovejoy's life would have been spared
652
00:44:01,221 --> 00:44:02,861
if he'd listened
to the dictates of reason
653
00:44:02,889 --> 00:44:04,808
instead of his own
rip-roaring fanaticism.
654
00:44:05,684 --> 00:44:09,396
But perhaps my good friend
Abe Lincoln doesn't agree.
655
00:44:09,771 --> 00:44:12,482
I agree that Lovejoy
should have listened to reason,
656
00:44:13,150 --> 00:44:14,359
but if he had to be silenced,
657
00:44:14,442 --> 00:44:16,528
I'd prefer that
it'd been done by the law,
658
00:44:16,611 --> 00:44:18,822
instead of a crowd
of bloodthirsty killers.
659
00:44:19,197 --> 00:44:22,159
Still straddling the fence, eh?
That won't help you to get re-elected.
660
00:44:22,367 --> 00:44:24,494
Afraid nothing can help me.
I'm not running.
661
00:44:24,995 --> 00:44:26,371
You're quitting the legislature?
662
00:44:26,454 --> 00:44:28,874
- Yep.
- Why, Abe, I'm distressed.
663
00:44:28,999 --> 00:44:31,668
- We'll miss you.
- Sorry to cause you distress, Steve.
664
00:44:31,793 --> 00:44:32,794
What will you do, Abe?
665
00:44:33,503 --> 00:44:36,923
Judge Stuart's offered me a chance to
work in his law office in Springfield.
666
00:44:37,007 --> 00:44:38,884
Of course, I don't know
much about the law,
667
00:44:39,134 --> 00:44:41,261
but there's one thing
I've learned here in politics,
668
00:44:41,553 --> 00:44:44,931
that is ignorance is no obstacle
to advancement.
669
00:44:45,974 --> 00:44:48,643
In fact, in some cases,
it's quite an advantage.
670
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:51,688
Good day, everybody.
671
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,037
- Hello, Billy Herndon.
- Hello.
672
00:45:16,838 --> 00:45:17,964
Hello, Billy.
673
00:45:47,661 --> 00:45:49,412
Nice day, isn't it, Mr. Herndon?
674
00:45:50,163 --> 00:45:51,665
Why, yes, it is.
675
00:45:52,332 --> 00:45:53,583
Where you been, Billy?
676
00:45:54,626 --> 00:45:57,545
I had to go downstairs
about that writ in the Wilcox case.
677
00:45:58,213 --> 00:46:01,174
If you only went downstairs,
why did you wear your hat?
678
00:46:03,176 --> 00:46:04,386
As a matter of fact,
679
00:46:04,469 --> 00:46:06,638
I stopped in
at the Chenery House saloon.
680
00:46:07,222 --> 00:46:08,348
Careful, Billy.
681
00:46:08,515 --> 00:46:11,476
You got great fires in you,
but you're putting them out fast.
682
00:46:12,811 --> 00:46:13,812
Yes, sir.
683
00:46:16,273 --> 00:46:18,692
- I saw Ninian Edwards, sir.
- Mmm-hmm.
684
00:46:18,775 --> 00:46:20,610
He invited you
to his party this evening.
685
00:46:21,444 --> 00:46:24,447
Getting quite a habit with him.
What's the occasion this time?
686
00:46:24,990 --> 00:46:27,150
He wants you to meet his sister-in-law,
Miss Mary Todd,
687
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,594
who has just arrived from Kentucky.
688
00:46:28,618 --> 00:46:32,372
You don't say so.
Well, I am becoming a social success.
689
00:46:32,622 --> 00:46:36,042
Yes, Mr. Lincoln, you are,
and I'm afraid you enjoy it.
690
00:46:37,168 --> 00:46:40,088
The Todd family
are mighty high-class people.
691
00:46:40,463 --> 00:46:41,923
Spell their name with two "D's"
692
00:46:42,007 --> 00:46:45,552
which is pretty impressive when
you consider one was enough for "God."
693
00:47:03,945 --> 00:47:05,655
Good evening, my dear Mrs. Edwards.
694
00:47:05,739 --> 00:47:07,739
How stunning you look
in that magnificent new gown.
695
00:47:07,782 --> 00:47:10,136
A dress like that must have come
all the way from Cincinnati.
696
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,246
My sister brought it from Louisville,
a present from my dear papa.
697
00:47:13,330 --> 00:47:14,664
- Good evening, Steve.
- Ninian.
698
00:47:14,748 --> 00:47:16,124
Mary, my dear, may I present
699
00:47:16,207 --> 00:47:18,501
our most eloquent citizen,
Mr. Stephen Douglas.
700
00:47:18,585 --> 00:47:20,295
Mr. Douglas, I am honored.
701
00:47:20,420 --> 00:47:23,798
Miss Todd, your brother-in-law
has just now described me as eloquent,
702
00:47:23,882 --> 00:47:25,508
but alas, I must now prove him wrong.
703
00:47:25,925 --> 00:47:28,678
Standing as I am in the presence
of such penetrating intelligence,
704
00:47:28,762 --> 00:47:31,514
such devastating charm,
I am rendered speechless.
705
00:47:32,057 --> 00:47:33,933
I can hardly believe it.
706
00:47:55,914 --> 00:47:58,500
Ninian, I thought you were going
to have that thing raised up.
707
00:47:58,583 --> 00:48:00,394
It wouldn't have made any difference
if you had.
708
00:48:00,418 --> 00:48:02,087
He'd have knocked over something else.
709
00:48:02,462 --> 00:48:05,173
Mr. Lincoln is more at home
in the backwoods than in a drawing room.
710
00:48:05,507 --> 00:48:06,800
How do you do, Mr. Lincoln?
711
00:48:06,883 --> 00:48:09,219
So far, I haven't been doing so well,
thank you.
712
00:48:09,302 --> 00:48:12,180
Never mind, Mr. Lincoln,
I'm sure all the other gentlemen here
713
00:48:12,263 --> 00:48:15,141
envy you for being tall enough
to break that chandelier.
714
00:48:15,225 --> 00:48:17,936
Miss Todd, I want you to know
that I resent that bitterly.
715
00:48:18,019 --> 00:48:19,604
- Hello, Abe.
- Evening, Steve.
716
00:48:19,687 --> 00:48:22,407
- Still got the same old coat on, eh?
- I got kind of attached to it.
717
00:48:22,482 --> 00:48:25,235
- Seems a little short.
- It'll be longer before I get another.
718
00:48:25,527 --> 00:48:27,529
Abe is what you might call
a self-made man.
719
00:48:27,612 --> 00:48:30,281
Well, I guess my parents ought
to take some of the blame.
720
00:48:30,365 --> 00:48:32,283
When I first knew him,
he was behind a counter
721
00:48:32,367 --> 00:48:33,410
selling whiskey and rum
722
00:48:33,493 --> 00:48:36,329
and intoxicating the customers
with his own raw humor.
723
00:48:36,871 --> 00:48:39,249
You see, Miss Todd,
I was always behind the bar
724
00:48:39,332 --> 00:48:41,459
and Steve Douglas
was always in front of it.
725
00:48:45,130 --> 00:48:48,174
Something tells me
I shouldn't have started this.
726
00:48:49,217 --> 00:48:50,635
So I said to Daniel Webster,
727
00:48:50,718 --> 00:48:52,804
"You may stand where you like
in Massachusetts,
728
00:48:52,887 --> 00:48:55,056
but you'll meet your downfall
out here in Illinois."
729
00:48:55,432 --> 00:48:58,101
I can understand why they speak of you
as the little giant.
730
00:48:59,269 --> 00:49:00,603
Better be careful, Stephen.
731
00:49:00,895 --> 00:49:02,814
Mary's just as ambitious as you are.
732
00:49:02,939 --> 00:49:04,941
My sister has made no secret of the fact
733
00:49:05,024 --> 00:49:07,503
that the man she marries
will be president of the United States.
734
00:49:07,527 --> 00:49:09,362
I'm delighted to hear it, Miss Todd,
735
00:49:09,446 --> 00:49:11,573
for I have been looking
for the perfect first lady
736
00:49:11,656 --> 00:49:14,826
to be my consort in the White House,
and now I've found her.
737
00:49:14,993 --> 00:49:17,454
Really? But you should
give that out to the newspapers.
738
00:49:17,745 --> 00:49:20,331
"Stephen A. Douglas
consents to become president.”
739
00:49:21,583 --> 00:49:24,919
I... seem to need
a little more refreshment.
740
00:49:28,047 --> 00:49:29,507
You're very sweet.
741
00:49:39,559 --> 00:49:42,020
One night, there was a gathering
of all the grandees.
742
00:49:42,145 --> 00:49:44,189
You know, one of these
high-tone shindigs.
743
00:49:44,272 --> 00:49:47,233
All the girls in town were there
and the handsome widows
744
00:49:47,317 --> 00:49:50,111
and married women
finicking about, try to look like girls.
745
00:49:51,196 --> 00:49:54,282
They were all tied together
in the middle and puffed out both ends,
746
00:49:54,365 --> 00:49:56,659
like bundles of fodder
waiting to be stacked
747
00:49:56,784 --> 00:49:58,328
and wanting stacking pretty bad.
748
00:49:58,912 --> 00:50:00,592
Now, all of them wore...
749
00:50:05,168 --> 00:50:08,379
Well, it started out
to be a political story.
750
00:50:09,130 --> 00:50:11,799
And quite amusing too.
Don't you think, gentlemen?
751
00:50:12,133 --> 00:50:15,470
But I think it's my turn
to monopolize you for a while.
752
00:50:22,769 --> 00:50:24,229
Has Mary taken leave of her senses?
753
00:50:24,646 --> 00:50:26,189
Devoting herself to that Mr. Lincoln
754
00:50:26,272 --> 00:50:28,459
when we have the most eligible
gentlemen here to meet her.
755
00:50:28,483 --> 00:50:30,026
Perhaps Abe amuses her, my dear.
756
00:50:30,109 --> 00:50:33,071
Nonsense. My sister
is a well-bred young lady.
757
00:50:37,659 --> 00:50:40,995
No, no, Mr. Lincoln.
I'm not laughing at you.
758
00:50:41,663 --> 00:50:44,457
I'm sure your mother
must have been a wonderful woman.
759
00:50:45,291 --> 00:50:47,001
How old were you when she died?
760
00:50:47,460 --> 00:50:50,505
I was seven.
The milk sick got her, poor creature.
761
00:50:51,214 --> 00:50:54,801
I helped Pa make the coffin,
whittled the pegs with my own jackknife.
762
00:50:55,552 --> 00:50:58,471
We buried her in a timber clearing
beside my grandmother.
763
00:50:59,055 --> 00:51:01,224
I used to go there often
to look at the place.
764
00:51:02,141 --> 00:51:05,853
I used to watch the deer run over
her grave with their little feet.
765
00:51:06,479 --> 00:51:07,605
Funny.
766
00:51:08,314 --> 00:51:10,066
I never could kill a deer after that.
767
00:51:11,526 --> 00:51:14,195
Once I got a licking from Pa
768
00:51:14,279 --> 00:51:17,073
because when he was taking aim at a deer
I knocked his gun up.
769
00:51:19,576 --> 00:51:22,787
But this is no way to behave in society,
770
00:51:22,870 --> 00:51:25,290
talking about the backwoods I come from.
771
00:51:26,124 --> 00:51:28,543
It's just the way to behave,
Mr. Lincoln.
772
00:51:29,085 --> 00:51:31,421
Please tell me some more
about the lickings you got.
773
00:51:34,257 --> 00:51:37,510
Oh, what has caused
This great commotion.
774
00:51:37,594 --> 00:51:39,721
Motion, motion.
775
00:51:40,179 --> 00:51:42,849
Our country through.
776
00:51:43,349 --> 00:51:46,352
It is a ball a-rolling on.
777
00:51:46,436 --> 00:51:49,564
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too.
778
00:51:49,647 --> 00:51:52,859
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too.
779
00:51:53,151 --> 00:51:54,277
Notice the name, Billy?
780
00:51:54,652 --> 00:51:56,279
It's here, right down at the bottom.
781
00:51:56,654 --> 00:51:57,654
Boasting, huh?
782
00:51:58,281 --> 00:51:59,365
Bowling!
783
00:52:00,199 --> 00:52:01,284
How are you, Bowling?
784
00:52:01,367 --> 00:52:03,620
Terribly well, Abe, and glad to see you.
785
00:52:03,745 --> 00:52:06,914
Glad to see you. This is Billy Herndon.
Squire Green from New Salem.
786
00:52:06,998 --> 00:52:09,310
Proud to know you, sir.
Mr. Lincoln speaks of you constantly.
787
00:52:09,334 --> 00:52:11,419
Thank you, Mr. Herndon.
Are you a lawyer too?
788
00:52:11,502 --> 00:52:14,797
I hope to be, sir. I'm serving here
as clerk in Judge Stuart's absence.
789
00:52:14,881 --> 00:52:18,134
- So now you're teaching others, Abe.
- No, just setting a bad example.
790
00:52:18,468 --> 00:52:19,802
How's that blessed wife of yours?
791
00:52:19,886 --> 00:52:21,387
Nancy's busy as ever,
792
00:52:21,596 --> 00:52:23,514
and more than ever concerned
793
00:52:23,598 --> 00:52:25,516
about your innermost hopes
and yearnings.
794
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,269
You can tell her I'm becoming
a person of importance.
795
00:52:28,603 --> 00:52:30,938
Yes, sir.
If old Tippecanoe wins next fall,
796
00:52:31,022 --> 00:52:32,732
I'll be a member
of the Electoral College.
797
00:52:32,815 --> 00:52:34,317
Is that the best you can do?
798
00:52:34,442 --> 00:52:36,194
You and Billy
should get better acquainted.
799
00:52:36,694 --> 00:52:38,237
He's pretty disgusted with me too.
800
00:52:38,321 --> 00:52:39,656
Says I've no ambition,
801
00:52:39,739 --> 00:52:42,033
and I associate
with the wrong kind of people.
802
00:52:42,408 --> 00:52:44,702
He can't stand anybody
that keeps his mouth shut
803
00:52:44,786 --> 00:52:46,120
and abides by the constitution.
804
00:52:46,204 --> 00:52:48,498
If he had his way,
the whole union would be set on fire,
805
00:52:48,581 --> 00:52:50,792
and we'd all be burned to a crisp.
Right, Billy?
806
00:52:50,875 --> 00:52:51,876
Yes, Mr. Lincoln.
807
00:52:52,502 --> 00:52:54,128
And if you'll permit me to say so,
808
00:52:54,420 --> 00:52:56,982
I think you'd be of more use
to your fellow man if you allowed some
809
00:52:57,006 --> 00:52:59,342
of the same incendiary impulses
to come out in you.
810
00:52:59,425 --> 00:53:02,011
- You hear that, Bowling?
- I'm surprised at you, Abe.
811
00:53:02,345 --> 00:53:04,472
I thought you were opposed to slavery.
812
00:53:04,931 --> 00:53:06,641
I am opposed to slavery,
813
00:53:07,850 --> 00:53:10,520
but I'm even more opposed
to getting myself into trouble.
814
00:53:10,603 --> 00:53:12,397
Why don't you run for Congress, Abe?
815
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,691
If I did, I might get elected.
I'd be in Washington.
816
00:53:14,774 --> 00:53:18,277
Then I might have to cast my vote
on the terrible issue of war or peace.
817
00:53:18,486 --> 00:53:19,946
And what attitude would I take?
818
00:53:20,571 --> 00:53:22,156
The liberal attitude, of course.
819
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:23,825
And what is the liberal attitude?
820
00:53:24,534 --> 00:53:28,287
To go to war for a tract of land
or a moral principle,
821
00:53:28,371 --> 00:53:29,997
or avoid war at all cost.
822
00:53:31,249 --> 00:53:34,085
No, sir, Bowling. I'm no fighting man.
823
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,313
I found that out
when I went through the Black Hawk war,
824
00:53:36,337 --> 00:53:38,565
and was terrified I might have to
fire a shot at an Indian.
825
00:53:38,589 --> 00:53:40,383
Fortunately, the Indians
felt the same way,
826
00:53:40,466 --> 00:53:41,759
so I never saw any of them.
827
00:53:48,433 --> 00:53:49,559
Excuse me, Bowling.
828
00:53:59,444 --> 00:54:01,279
That's his trouble... women.
829
00:54:01,362 --> 00:54:04,782
I should say,
that's the, um, liberal attitude.
830
00:54:14,667 --> 00:54:16,461
I cannot and will not
stand it any longer.
831
00:54:16,544 --> 00:54:18,838
All this ridiculous gossip
must be silenced.
832
00:54:19,255 --> 00:54:21,716
After all, the gossip
does none of us any harm, my dear.
833
00:54:21,924 --> 00:54:25,219
I ask you to keep out of this, Ninian.
This is between my sister and myself.
834
00:54:25,678 --> 00:54:27,388
Nevertheless, Ninian is right.
835
00:54:27,805 --> 00:54:29,891
I ask you to deny once and for all
836
00:54:30,016 --> 00:54:31,934
that you've ever given
one moment of thought
837
00:54:32,101 --> 00:54:33,895
to the idea of marriage
with Abraham Lincoln.
838
00:54:34,061 --> 00:54:37,023
Oh, but I have.
I've given many months' thought to it,
839
00:54:37,398 --> 00:54:40,568
and I've decided
that I shall be Mrs. Lincoln.
840
00:54:41,694 --> 00:54:42,695
Mary!
841
00:54:42,820 --> 00:54:45,448
- Does it shock you so deeply, Elizabeth?
- And why not?
842
00:54:45,948 --> 00:54:47,784
Marrying him
would mean life in a log cabin,
843
00:54:47,909 --> 00:54:49,577
with no servants, no decent clothes.
844
00:54:49,911 --> 00:54:52,747
You expect me
to do precisely what you've done,
845
00:54:52,830 --> 00:54:55,249
marry a rich, well-bred gentleman,
like Ninian,
846
00:54:55,374 --> 00:54:56,959
and live in a fine house like this.
847
00:54:58,127 --> 00:55:01,088
A house with a fence around it
to keep out the common herd.
848
00:55:01,714 --> 00:55:04,967
And also to prevent you from escaping
from your own narrow life.
849
00:55:05,510 --> 00:55:09,013
Well, with all due respect
to my dear brother-in-law,
850
00:55:09,514 --> 00:55:12,058
I don't want that,
and I won't have it. Never.
851
00:55:12,934 --> 00:55:14,894
In Abraham Lincoln, I see a man
852
00:55:14,977 --> 00:55:17,063
who has split rails
for other men's fences
853
00:55:17,522 --> 00:55:20,358
but who will never
build one around himself.
854
00:55:20,441 --> 00:55:22,527
You are talking
with a degree of irresponsibility
855
00:55:22,610 --> 00:55:24,195
that's not far from sheer madness.
856
00:55:24,278 --> 00:55:25,613
You've never made a move
857
00:55:25,696 --> 00:55:27,907
to change your condition
or to improve it.
858
00:55:27,990 --> 00:55:30,034
You consider
that it couldn't be improved.
859
00:55:30,493 --> 00:55:34,080
To you, all this represents perfection.
Well, it doesn't to me.
860
00:55:34,580 --> 00:55:38,042
I want the chance to shape a new life
for myself and for my husband.
861
00:55:38,584 --> 00:55:40,294
Is that irresponsibility?
862
00:55:40,628 --> 00:55:42,397
How far will you go
with a man like that,
863
00:55:42,421 --> 00:55:43,673
lazy and shiftless,
864
00:55:43,923 --> 00:55:45,758
forever stopping along the way
to tell jokes?
865
00:55:45,842 --> 00:55:48,594
He will not stop
if I am strong enough to make him go on,
866
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:50,638
and I am strong.
867
00:55:51,973 --> 00:55:55,226
I'll admit, he seems to have
no conception of his own power,
868
00:55:55,726 --> 00:55:57,562
or if he has, he's afraid to face it.
869
00:55:58,688 --> 00:55:59,856
I'm not afraid.
870
00:56:00,523 --> 00:56:03,651
I'm ready to fight
to make him fulfill his destiny,
871
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,572
even if you and all your world
despise me for it.
872
00:56:10,783 --> 00:56:12,785
Merely a small point, Mary,
873
00:56:12,910 --> 00:56:16,122
but I suppose you've communicated
your decision to Abe?
874
00:56:16,205 --> 00:56:18,541
Uh, not yet,
but when he comes this evening,
875
00:56:18,624 --> 00:56:22,295
and he should be here at any moment,
he will ask for my hand in marriage.
876
00:56:22,670 --> 00:56:27,008
And after I've displayed the proper
amount of surprise and confusion,
877
00:56:27,300 --> 00:56:29,677
I shall murmur timidly, "Yes."
878
00:56:31,846 --> 00:56:35,057
- This is positively humiliating!
- Mr. Lincoln, ma'am.
879
00:56:38,644 --> 00:56:41,022
- Tell Mr. Lincoln that...
- I shall see him.
880
00:56:48,946 --> 00:56:50,156
Show him in.
881
00:56:52,199 --> 00:56:54,994
- Will you step in, Mr. Lincoln?
- Thank you, ma'am.
882
00:56:58,122 --> 00:57:00,249
Good evening, Mrs. Edwards.
Evening, Miss Todd.
883
00:57:00,416 --> 00:57:02,418
- Ninian, good evening.
- Good evening.
884
00:57:02,543 --> 00:57:04,962
- Good evening, Mr. Lincoln.
- Glad to see you, Abe.
885
00:57:05,046 --> 00:57:06,672
And now, if you'll excuse us,
886
00:57:06,756 --> 00:57:08,799
Elizabeth and I
must hear the children's prayers
887
00:57:08,883 --> 00:57:11,486
- and see them safely abed.
- Oh, I'd like to hear their prayers too.
888
00:57:11,510 --> 00:57:13,721
Oh, no. You'd only keep them awake
with your stories.
889
00:57:13,804 --> 00:57:16,724
- Come along, Elizabeth.
- Kiss them good night for me.
890
00:57:16,849 --> 00:57:19,602
Mary, won't you come with us
to say good night to the children?
891
00:57:19,685 --> 00:57:22,146
No, my dear. Leave Mary here
to keep Abe entertained.
892
00:57:27,443 --> 00:57:30,363
I don't blame Ninian for keeping you
away from those children.
893
00:57:30,446 --> 00:57:33,783
They certainly adore you.
You understand them.
894
00:57:34,659 --> 00:57:38,162
That's the important thing.
But do sit down, Mr. Lincoln.
895
00:57:39,830 --> 00:57:40,998
Here, by me.
896
00:57:44,710 --> 00:57:46,754
Thank you. I will.
897
00:58:01,894 --> 00:58:03,479
Happy new year, gentlemen!
898
00:58:09,610 --> 00:58:12,863
She's exactly like that, Billy.
Whatever Abe lacks, she'll make up for.
899
00:58:12,947 --> 00:58:14,615
She has drive and perseverance.
900
00:58:15,074 --> 00:58:17,243
She'll make him fulfill his destiny.
901
00:58:17,326 --> 00:58:18,828
I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Edwards.
902
00:58:18,911 --> 00:58:20,871
- Here's to your health, sir.
- Yours.
903
00:58:21,747 --> 00:58:24,250
Hello, Steve. Happy new year!
904
00:58:25,710 --> 00:58:27,336
How are you, Steve? Happy new year!
905
00:58:27,420 --> 00:58:29,505
Happy new year.
Give me a drink quickly, mine host.
906
00:58:29,588 --> 00:58:31,841
Hot spiced rum punch or eggnog,
Mr. Douglas?
907
00:58:32,008 --> 00:58:34,343
I'll have a glass or so of each,
then I'll make up my mind.
908
00:58:35,386 --> 00:58:37,304
Ninian, where's the lucky bridegroom?
909
00:58:37,388 --> 00:58:38,723
Abe? He wouldn't come here.
910
00:58:38,806 --> 00:58:41,618
- Seems to be in one of his gloomy moods.
- Ah. Just nervousness, I expect.
911
00:58:41,642 --> 00:58:43,269
Everything's ready for the ceremony.
912
00:58:43,352 --> 00:58:44,895
Elizabeth's prepared a bang-up supper,
913
00:58:44,979 --> 00:58:46,814
and the whole affair
should go off handsomely.
914
00:58:46,897 --> 00:58:49,400
- You'll be there, of course.
- Ah, yes. I'm a good sportsman.
915
00:58:49,608 --> 00:58:52,820
I'll swallow my mortification.
And that's not all I'll swallow.
916
00:58:53,070 --> 00:58:56,032
To begin with, I ask you
to join me in a toast, gentlemen.
917
00:58:56,115 --> 00:58:58,951
To the fairest flower of Old Kentucky,
Miss Mary Todd,
918
00:58:59,035 --> 00:59:01,787
who from this day on
will be Mrs. Abraham Lincoln.
919
00:59:01,871 --> 00:59:03,164
To Mary Todd!
920
00:59:10,254 --> 00:59:13,174
Happy new year, Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Speed.
921
00:59:13,966 --> 00:59:15,301
Happy new year to you, Billy.
922
00:59:15,593 --> 00:59:17,219
I've just been over
at the Chenery House.
923
00:59:17,303 --> 00:59:19,263
They were all drinking toasts
to your happiness.
924
00:59:19,722 --> 00:59:22,141
I wish to have a private toast
of my own.
925
00:59:23,601 --> 00:59:26,437
Mr. Lincoln, when I first heard
of your approaching marriage,
926
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,564
I confess I was afraid
you were lowering yourself,
927
00:59:28,856 --> 00:59:31,484
trading your honor
for exalted family connections.
928
00:59:31,817 --> 00:59:33,736
I apologize for so thinking.
929
00:59:35,071 --> 00:59:38,157
I now believe that Miss Todd's ambitions
for you are the same as my own.
930
00:59:38,407 --> 00:59:40,868
I believe that she will never stop
driving you and goading you
931
00:59:40,951 --> 00:59:43,037
until you have reached the heights
where you belong.
932
00:59:43,370 --> 00:59:45,748
And I say God bless her
and give her strength,
933
00:59:46,123 --> 00:59:47,917
and I drink to her and to her husband,
934
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,668
the future president
of the United States!
935
00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:50,753
Put that away.
936
00:59:53,464 --> 00:59:55,716
Billy, I have a letter
I wish you to deliver.
937
00:59:56,217 --> 00:59:57,968
A letter? To whom?
938
00:59:58,344 --> 00:59:59,553
Give it to him, Josh.
939
01:00:07,937 --> 01:00:11,315
- You had no right to do that!
- Maybe not, but it's done.
940
01:00:11,524 --> 01:00:14,068
Don't look at me as though
you were planning to break my neck.
941
01:00:14,485 --> 01:00:17,113
I know you could do it, Abe,
but you won't.
942
01:00:23,410 --> 01:00:25,663
Mr. Lincoln asked me
to deliver that letter to Miss Todd,
943
01:00:25,746 --> 01:00:26,872
but I refused to do so.
944
01:00:27,164 --> 01:00:29,416
He was writing her to ask
for his release from a marriage
945
01:00:29,500 --> 01:00:32,002
which could only lead to endless pain
and misery for them both.
946
01:00:32,086 --> 01:00:33,546
If that isn't the truth, what is?
947
01:00:33,629 --> 01:00:37,299
If that is the truth, tell her so
to her face in the manner of a man.
948
01:00:38,509 --> 01:00:42,429
I'd have to tell her that I have hatred
for her infernal ambition,
949
01:00:43,180 --> 01:00:44,807
that I don't want to be ridden
950
01:00:44,890 --> 01:00:47,268
and driven onward and upward
through life
951
01:00:47,351 --> 01:00:50,437
with her whip lashing me
and her spurs digging into me.
952
01:00:51,647 --> 01:00:54,984
If her poor little soul
craves importance in life,
953
01:00:55,067 --> 01:00:56,694
let her marry Stephen Douglas.
954
01:00:56,819 --> 01:00:58,320
He's ambitious too.
955
01:00:59,196 --> 01:01:01,365
I want only to be left alone.
956
01:01:02,074 --> 01:01:04,474
It would be more gracious
to admit that you're afraid of her.
957
01:01:04,535 --> 01:01:05,953
Good for you, Mr. Speed.
958
01:01:06,036 --> 01:01:07,913
- You'd better keep out of this.
- No, I won't.
959
01:01:09,331 --> 01:01:11,333
You're not abandoning Miss Mary Todd.
960
01:01:11,584 --> 01:01:13,878
No, you're only using her
as the living sacrifice,
961
01:01:13,961 --> 01:01:16,172
offering her up in the hope
that you'll gain forgiveness
962
01:01:16,255 --> 01:01:18,090
for your failure
to do your own great duty.
963
01:01:18,174 --> 01:01:19,508
My own great duty.
964
01:01:19,592 --> 01:01:22,344
Everyone feels called upon
to remind me of it,
965
01:01:22,428 --> 01:01:24,722
and no one can tell me what it is.
966
01:01:24,805 --> 01:01:26,015
I can tell you.
967
01:01:26,098 --> 01:01:27,784
I can tell you what is the duty
of every man
968
01:01:27,808 --> 01:01:29,560
who calls himself an American.
969
01:01:30,227 --> 01:01:33,772
It is to perpetuate those truths
which were once held to be self-evident,
970
01:01:34,190 --> 01:01:35,608
that all men are created equal
971
01:01:35,691 --> 01:01:39,028
and endowed with the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
972
01:01:39,111 --> 01:01:41,280
And are those rights denied to me?
973
01:01:41,614 --> 01:01:43,949
Could you ever enjoy them
while you realize
974
01:01:44,033 --> 01:01:47,119
that two million of your fellow beings
in this country are slaves?
975
01:01:47,536 --> 01:01:48,871
When you look at that flag,
976
01:01:48,954 --> 01:01:51,248
don't you ever realize
that ten of its stars
977
01:01:51,332 --> 01:01:53,459
represent states
which would destroy the union
978
01:01:53,542 --> 01:01:56,212
rather than give up
their property rights in those slaves?
979
01:01:57,254 --> 01:01:59,381
Don't dare tell me
that anybody in this world
980
01:01:59,465 --> 01:02:01,592
knows that better than you do,
Mr. Lincoln.
981
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,511
You, who honor the memory
of Elijah Lovejoy
982
01:02:04,845 --> 01:02:08,557
and every other man who ever died
fighting in the defense of freedom.
983
01:02:08,641 --> 01:02:10,809
Yes, I honor them
984
01:02:11,810 --> 01:02:17,900
and envy them because they could believe
that their ideals are worth dying for.
985
01:02:37,711 --> 01:02:39,004
All right, Josh.
986
01:02:39,964 --> 01:02:42,466
I'll go up now and I'll talk to Mary.
987
01:02:56,814 --> 01:02:59,358
- Then I'm going away.
- Where?
988
01:03:01,777 --> 01:03:03,112
I don't know.
989
01:05:12,491 --> 01:05:14,368
The world passeth,
990
01:05:14,993 --> 01:05:19,456
but he that doeth the will of God
abideth forever.
991
01:05:37,057 --> 01:05:38,308
Howdy, Abe.
992
01:05:39,601 --> 01:05:40,644
Hello, Abe.
993
01:05:43,397 --> 01:05:46,275
Mr. Lincoln. Glad to see you back.
994
01:05:46,483 --> 01:05:47,568
Thank you, Gus.
995
01:05:47,651 --> 01:05:49,778
Why, Abe, when did you get back?
996
01:05:50,529 --> 01:05:52,114
- How do you do?
- Good afternoon.
997
01:05:53,574 --> 01:05:55,659
After his shameful treatment
of Miss Todd,
998
01:05:55,742 --> 01:05:58,245
I wouldn't think he'd dare
show his face in this town.
999
01:05:59,913 --> 01:06:02,332
And going in the Edwards home,
of all things.
1000
01:06:02,416 --> 01:06:04,835
Right in where
he's least wanted.
1001
01:06:04,918 --> 01:06:06,879
We can't say he lacks courage.
1002
01:06:08,964 --> 01:06:10,924
She says come right in, Mr. Lincoln.
1003
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,854
- I'm glad to see you again, Abe.
- Thank you, Mary.
1004
01:06:24,229 --> 01:06:28,108
You may well wonder why I thrust myself
on your mercy in this manner.
1005
01:06:28,650 --> 01:06:31,153
I'm sure you're always welcome
in Ninian's house.
1006
01:06:31,361 --> 01:06:33,489
After my behavior
at our last meeting here,
1007
01:06:33,572 --> 01:06:36,074
I have not been
welcome company for myself.
1008
01:06:36,950 --> 01:06:39,620
Joshua Speed has kept us informed
of your whereabouts.
1009
01:06:39,703 --> 01:06:42,915
- We've been greatly concerned.
- You've been most kind.
1010
01:06:43,624 --> 01:06:44,958
Now you'll return to your work,
1011
01:06:45,042 --> 01:06:47,211
and no doubt you'll be running
for the assembly again.
1012
01:06:47,294 --> 01:06:49,713
Or perhaps you have larger plans.
1013
01:06:49,796 --> 01:06:53,717
I have no plans, Mary.
I only wish to gain your forgiveness.
1014
01:06:54,968 --> 01:06:56,512
There's no question of that.
1015
01:06:56,803 --> 01:06:58,931
What happened between us
was my own fault.
1016
01:06:59,014 --> 01:07:01,558
I was blinded by my own self-confidence.
1017
01:07:01,892 --> 01:07:05,521
I... I loved you.
1018
01:07:06,188 --> 01:07:08,357
I believed
that I could make you love me.
1019
01:07:08,815 --> 01:07:11,902
I believed the fire of my ambition
would burn in you,
1020
01:07:12,277 --> 01:07:14,571
you would become a man, a leader of men,
1021
01:07:15,072 --> 01:07:17,699
but you didn't wish that.
1022
01:07:19,117 --> 01:07:21,745
It is true, Mary,
you once had faith in me
1023
01:07:21,828 --> 01:07:23,830
which I was far from deserving.
1024
01:07:25,207 --> 01:07:27,876
The time has come
when I wish to strive to deserve it.
1025
01:07:28,669 --> 01:07:31,296
I believe now
that our destinies are together,
1026
01:07:31,547 --> 01:07:33,215
for better or for worse.
1027
01:07:35,092 --> 01:07:38,095
So I again presume
to ask you to be my wife.
1028
01:07:42,057 --> 01:07:46,478
I fully realize that taking me back
involves humiliation for you.
1029
01:07:47,187 --> 01:07:50,190
I've had humiliation already
and survived it.
1030
01:07:50,357 --> 01:07:53,735
But I promise you, Mary,
that if you will have me,
1031
01:07:53,819 --> 01:07:56,488
I shall devote myself
for the rest of my days
1032
01:07:56,572 --> 01:07:58,490
to trying to do what is right
1033
01:07:58,657 --> 01:08:01,660
as God gives me power
to see what is right.
1034
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,752
Then... I shall be your wife.
1035
01:08:12,337 --> 01:08:15,299
I shall fight by your side
till death do us part.
1036
01:08:17,426 --> 01:08:21,013
Abe, I love you. Oh, I love you.
1037
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,766
Whatever becomes of the two of us,
I'll die loving you.
1038
01:09:46,932 --> 01:09:50,268
"...as slaves.
Whether emancipated or not,
1039
01:09:50,352 --> 01:09:53,939
they yet remain subject
to the authority of the dominant race
1040
01:09:54,022 --> 01:09:56,149
and have no rights or privileges
1041
01:09:56,233 --> 01:09:59,236
but such as those
who hold the power of government
1042
01:09:59,319 --> 01:10:00,737
might choose to grant them."
1043
01:10:40,193 --> 01:10:41,528
Are you John Brown?
1044
01:10:42,028 --> 01:10:44,906
I am, sir, Osawatomie John Brown.
1045
01:10:45,198 --> 01:10:47,284
Don't try and fight them anymore, Pa.
1046
01:10:47,367 --> 01:10:49,578
I place you under arrest for treason,
1047
01:10:49,828 --> 01:10:52,497
for bearing arms against the government
of the United States.
1048
01:10:52,998 --> 01:10:56,293
I'd like to ask
who's making this arrest.
1049
01:10:56,376 --> 01:10:58,754
I am Lieutenant Colonel Robert E. Lee
of the 2nd Cavalry,
1050
01:10:58,837 --> 01:11:01,131
acting under orders
from President Buchanan.
1051
01:11:02,466 --> 01:11:06,094
It's no use, Pa.
You got to give in to them.
1052
01:11:07,846 --> 01:11:11,099
Somebody else
has got to finish this job.
1053
01:11:17,647 --> 01:11:20,150
Very well, Colonel Lee,
I submit to arrest,
1054
01:11:20,901 --> 01:11:23,195
knowing full well that I shall be hanged
1055
01:11:23,278 --> 01:11:25,781
for this attempt
to end the evil of slavery.
1056
01:11:26,656 --> 01:11:29,493
But after I am dead,
the evil will remain,
1057
01:11:30,035 --> 01:11:32,996
and you and all other patriots
will come to learn
1058
01:11:33,371 --> 01:11:38,210
it can be purged from this guilty world
only with blood.
1059
01:11:43,465 --> 01:11:45,217
Goodbye, my son.
1060
01:12:00,357 --> 01:12:02,359
Another fanatic
has gone to meet his maker.
1061
01:12:02,442 --> 01:12:05,278
Why can't these antislavery fools
mind their own business?
1062
01:12:05,445 --> 01:12:06,738
Senator Douglas!
1063
01:12:07,697 --> 01:12:11,284
The message you've been waiting for.
Telegram from Springfield.
1064
01:12:11,368 --> 01:12:14,663
They've nominated Abraham Lincoln
to run against the senator this fall.
1065
01:12:15,664 --> 01:12:17,415
My heartiest congratulations.
1066
01:12:17,499 --> 01:12:19,125
Lincoln? Who is he?
1067
01:12:19,376 --> 01:12:21,294
What are they doing,
giving you the election?
1068
01:12:21,795 --> 01:12:24,923
So Abe Lincoln has decided at last
to come out and fight.
1069
01:12:25,006 --> 01:12:27,008
It's the best thing
that could have happened to us.
1070
01:12:27,133 --> 01:12:28,844
How does this Lincoln stand on slavery?
1071
01:12:28,927 --> 01:12:31,054
Nobody knows,
least of all Lincoln himself.
1072
01:12:31,179 --> 01:12:34,224
He's the most undecided,
hesitatingest critter you ever saw.
1073
01:12:34,307 --> 01:12:38,270
Good. We don't want that slave issue
brought up in Illinois this year.
1074
01:12:38,353 --> 01:12:42,274
You can count on old Abe.
He's just what we want, a peaceful man.
1075
01:12:42,691 --> 01:12:45,360
We'll start the campaign at once.
I'm going back to Springfield.
1076
01:12:45,443 --> 01:12:47,755
And I want to have an unprecedented
welcome when I get there,
1077
01:12:47,779 --> 01:12:51,199
brass band at the station, a big parade
and free liquor for all.
1078
01:12:51,283 --> 01:12:54,119
But you don't mean to say
that you're afraid of Abe Lincoln?
1079
01:12:54,202 --> 01:12:56,162
Why, the country doesn't know him.
1080
01:12:56,246 --> 01:12:59,457
Maybe the country doesn't... but I do.
1081
01:13:07,257 --> 01:13:10,010
All ready now. Keep very still.
1082
01:13:11,136 --> 01:13:14,055
One, two, three...
1083
01:13:14,806 --> 01:13:17,934
Tad, you're to keep absolutely still.
You too, Willie.
1084
01:13:18,393 --> 01:13:19,728
We will, Ma.
1085
01:13:20,687 --> 01:13:22,355
Now, please, one and all.
1086
01:13:25,275 --> 01:13:28,570
One, two, three...
1087
01:13:28,653 --> 01:13:31,323
Tad, if I have to speak to you
once more...
1088
01:13:31,406 --> 01:13:33,116
But Pa keeps tickling me.
1089
01:13:33,742 --> 01:13:36,077
I might have known it.
Please, Mr. Lincoln.
1090
01:13:36,161 --> 01:13:39,331
Please bear in mind this picture
was ordered by the Chicago Tribune
1091
01:13:39,414 --> 01:13:41,958
to spread far and wide
during your campaign.
1092
01:13:42,042 --> 01:13:43,293
I'm sorry, Mary,
1093
01:13:43,376 --> 01:13:46,004
but I can't help thinking
how foolish I look.
1094
01:13:46,087 --> 01:13:48,798
Now, I beg of you, no move of any kind.
1095
01:13:49,299 --> 01:13:50,800
This time, we'll get it.
1096
01:13:51,509 --> 01:13:52,636
One...
1097
01:13:54,804 --> 01:13:57,557
Willie! Tad! Come back here!
1098
01:13:57,641 --> 01:13:59,801
Look, Pa. It's a great big parade!
1099
01:14:00,185 --> 01:14:03,688
Stephen Douglas has arrived.
Listen to them cheering for him.
1100
01:14:03,980 --> 01:14:06,441
They ought to cheer him.
He paid them enough for it.
1101
01:14:37,806 --> 01:14:39,975
Old Abe won't have an answer
for that one.
1102
01:14:40,058 --> 01:14:41,058
You're a liar.
1103
01:14:52,779 --> 01:14:57,158
We have now heard the leading arguments
of the two candidates
1104
01:14:57,242 --> 01:15:00,328
for the high office
of United States Senator from Illinois,
1105
01:15:00,745 --> 01:15:03,999
Judge Stephen A. Douglas
and Mr. Abraham Lincoln.
1106
01:15:04,582 --> 01:15:06,960
According to the usual custom of debate,
1107
01:15:07,293 --> 01:15:10,005
each of the candidates
will now speak in rebuttal.
1108
01:15:10,755 --> 01:15:11,965
Judge Douglas.
1109
01:15:24,019 --> 01:15:25,311
My fellow citizens,
1110
01:15:26,312 --> 01:15:28,398
my good friend Mr. Lincoln
has addressed you
1111
01:15:28,481 --> 01:15:30,942
with his usual artless sincerity,
1112
01:15:31,026 --> 01:15:35,030
his pure, homely charm,
his perennial native humor.
1113
01:15:35,488 --> 01:15:38,450
He has devoted a generously
large portion of his address
1114
01:15:38,533 --> 01:15:42,620
to most amiable remarks
upon my fine qualities as a man,
1115
01:15:42,704 --> 01:15:44,497
if not as a Statesman,
1116
01:15:45,081 --> 01:15:47,959
for which I express deepest gratitude.
1117
01:15:48,251 --> 01:15:49,836
But at the same time,
1118
01:15:49,919 --> 01:15:52,213
I most earnestly beg you
1119
01:15:52,297 --> 01:15:55,133
not to be deceived
by his seeming innocence,
1120
01:15:55,216 --> 01:15:59,179
his carefully cultivated
spirit of good will,
1121
01:15:59,262 --> 01:16:03,975
for in each of his little homilies
lurk concealed weapons.
1122
01:16:04,059 --> 01:16:07,604
Like Brutus in Shakespeare's
immortal tragedy,
1123
01:16:07,687 --> 01:16:09,981
Mr. Lincoln is an honorable man.
1124
01:16:10,190 --> 01:16:12,025
But also like Brutus,
1125
01:16:12,108 --> 01:16:16,654
he is an adept at the art of inserting
daggers between an opponent's ribs
1126
01:16:16,946 --> 01:16:19,866
just when said opponent
least expects it.
1127
01:16:20,408 --> 01:16:22,702
Behold me, ladies and gentlemen.
1128
01:16:22,827 --> 01:16:24,871
I am covered with scars.
1129
01:16:30,335 --> 01:16:33,171
- How dare they laugh?
- It's only a speech, Mother.
1130
01:16:34,297 --> 01:16:35,965
Anytime you say, Abe.
1131
01:16:41,054 --> 01:16:44,557
Mr. Lincoln makes you laugh
with his pungent anecdotes.
1132
01:16:44,641 --> 01:16:48,144
He draws tears from your eyes
with his dramatic pictures
1133
01:16:48,228 --> 01:16:51,147
of the plight of the Black slave labor
in the South.
1134
01:16:51,397 --> 01:16:55,401
Always he guides you skillfully
to the threshold of truth.
1135
01:16:55,693 --> 01:17:00,532
But then, as you are about to cross it,
he diverts your attention elsewhere.
1136
01:17:01,241 --> 01:17:05,120
He never by any mischance
makes reference
1137
01:17:05,203 --> 01:17:07,330
to the condition of labor
here in the North.
1138
01:17:07,956 --> 01:17:09,958
Perhaps he's ignorant of the fact
1139
01:17:10,041 --> 01:17:13,294
that tens of thousands of workers
are now on strike,
1140
01:17:13,670 --> 01:17:18,216
hungry men marching through the streets
in ragged order,
1141
01:17:18,299 --> 01:17:21,344
promoting riots
because they're not paid enough
1142
01:17:21,427 --> 01:17:24,889
to keep the flesh
upon the bones of their babies.
1143
01:17:25,181 --> 01:17:29,102
What kind of liberty is this
and what kind of equality?
1144
01:17:29,185 --> 01:17:30,311
Right!
1145
01:17:37,068 --> 01:17:41,364
Mr. Lincoln harps constantly
on this subject of equality.
1146
01:17:42,073 --> 01:17:43,533
He repeats over and over
1147
01:17:43,616 --> 01:17:47,287
the argument used by Lovejoy
and other abolitionists to wit,
1148
01:17:47,370 --> 01:17:49,581
that the Declaration of Independence,
1149
01:17:49,664 --> 01:17:53,126
having declared all men
free and equal by divine law,
1150
01:17:53,209 --> 01:17:56,296
thus Negro equality
is an inalienable right.
1151
01:17:57,380 --> 01:18:00,425
Contrary to this stands the verdict
of the Supreme Court
1152
01:18:00,508 --> 01:18:01,926
in the case of Dred Scott.
1153
01:18:03,553 --> 01:18:05,263
Mr. Lincoln is a lawyer,
1154
01:18:05,638 --> 01:18:08,224
and I presume, therefore, that he knows
1155
01:18:08,558 --> 01:18:11,060
that when he seeks to destroy
public confidence
1156
01:18:11,144 --> 01:18:14,564
in the integrity,
the inviolability of the Supreme Court,
1157
01:18:14,939 --> 01:18:17,275
he is preaching revolution.
1158
01:18:18,735 --> 01:18:21,654
He asks me to state my opinion
of the Dred Scott decision,
1159
01:18:21,821 --> 01:18:24,699
and I answer him unequivocally
by saying,
1160
01:18:24,782 --> 01:18:27,327
I take the decisions
of the Supreme Court
1161
01:18:27,577 --> 01:18:31,664
to be the law of the land,
and I intend to obey them as such.
1162
01:18:32,290 --> 01:18:34,459
Nor will I be swayed from that position
1163
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,505
by all the ranting of all the fanatics
who preach racial equality,
1164
01:18:39,589 --> 01:18:44,010
who would ask us to vote, eat, sleep
and marry with Negroes.
1165
01:18:44,135 --> 01:18:45,386
And I say further,
1166
01:18:45,470 --> 01:18:49,432
let each State mind its own business
and leave its neighbors alone.
1167
01:18:49,933 --> 01:18:52,060
If we'll stand on that principle,
1168
01:18:52,143 --> 01:18:56,814
then Mr. Lincoln will find
that this great republic can exist
1169
01:18:56,898 --> 01:18:59,817
forever divided
into free and slave states,
1170
01:18:59,901 --> 01:19:02,487
and we can go on as we have done,
1171
01:19:02,570 --> 01:19:06,324
increasing in wealth,
in population, in power,
1172
01:19:06,407 --> 01:19:11,246
until we shall become the admiration
and the terror of the world.
1173
01:19:17,585 --> 01:19:19,837
Listen to them yell,
the empty-headed idiots,
1174
01:19:19,921 --> 01:19:21,381
yelling at empty words.
1175
01:19:21,631 --> 01:19:24,592
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
He never did.
1176
01:19:24,676 --> 01:19:25,802
You're upsetting your drink.
1177
01:19:29,097 --> 01:19:30,473
Mr. Abraham Lincoln.
1178
01:19:40,441 --> 01:19:41,901
Go get him, Abe!
1179
01:19:43,152 --> 01:19:46,656
Judge Douglas has paid tribute
to my skill with a dagger.
1180
01:19:46,739 --> 01:19:48,533
I thank him for that,
1181
01:19:48,616 --> 01:19:51,536
but I must admit that he can do more
with that weapon than I can.
1182
01:19:51,619 --> 01:19:55,290
He can keep ten daggers
flashing in the air at the same time.
1183
01:19:55,498 --> 01:19:57,625
Fortunately, he's so good at it
1184
01:19:57,709 --> 01:19:59,961
that none of the knives ever falls
and hurts anyone.
1185
01:20:07,135 --> 01:20:10,972
Now you've heard the judge make allusion
to those who advocate voting
1186
01:20:11,055 --> 01:20:14,183
and eating and marrying
and sleeping with Negroes.
1187
01:20:14,642 --> 01:20:17,395
Whether he meant me specifically,
I do not know.
1188
01:20:17,478 --> 01:20:19,063
If he did, I can only say
1189
01:20:19,147 --> 01:20:21,983
that just because I do not want
a colored woman for a slave,
1190
01:20:22,066 --> 01:20:24,777
I do not necessarily
want her for a wife.
1191
01:20:25,236 --> 01:20:29,324
I do not need to have her for either.
I can just leave her alone.
1192
01:20:30,116 --> 01:20:32,994
In some respects,
she is certainly not my equal
1193
01:20:33,077 --> 01:20:37,373
any more than I am the judge's equal
in some respects.
1194
01:20:38,124 --> 01:20:41,711
But in her natural right to eat
the bread she earns with her own hands
1195
01:20:41,794 --> 01:20:44,005
without asking leave of somebody else,
1196
01:20:44,088 --> 01:20:47,342
she is my equal
and the equal of all others.
1197
01:20:48,343 --> 01:20:52,513
Now you've heard the judge speak
about our own labor condition.
1198
01:20:52,889 --> 01:20:56,851
As an American, I cannot be proud
that such conditions exist.
1199
01:20:57,810 --> 01:20:59,896
But as an American I can ask,
1200
01:21:00,271 --> 01:21:03,066
would any of the striking workers
in the North
1201
01:21:03,149 --> 01:21:06,361
elect to change places
with the slaves in the South?
1202
01:21:06,819 --> 01:21:10,573
Will they not rather say
the remedy is in our hands?
1203
01:21:10,656 --> 01:21:14,285
And still as an American I can say,
1204
01:21:14,369 --> 01:21:19,248
thank God we live under a system
by which men have the right to strike.
1205
01:21:21,417 --> 01:21:22,585
Right.
1206
01:21:22,710 --> 01:21:24,420
That's right.
1207
01:21:28,216 --> 01:21:31,094
I am not preaching rebellion.
1208
01:21:32,512 --> 01:21:34,180
I don't have to.
1209
01:21:35,014 --> 01:21:40,436
This country, with its institutions,
belongs to the people who inhabit it.
1210
01:21:41,312 --> 01:21:45,274
Whenever they shall grow weary
of the existing government,
1211
01:21:45,483 --> 01:21:49,987
they can exercise their
constitutional right of amending it
1212
01:21:50,321 --> 01:21:55,410
or their revolutionary right
to dismember or overthrow it.
1213
01:21:55,618 --> 01:22:00,998
If the founding fathers
gave us anything, they gave us that.
1214
01:22:08,047 --> 01:22:11,759
The purpose of the Dred Scott decision
is to make property,
1215
01:22:11,843 --> 01:22:15,721
and nothing but property,
of the Negro in all States of the Union.
1216
01:22:16,431 --> 01:22:20,268
It is the old issue of human rights
versus property rights.
1217
01:22:20,935 --> 01:22:24,605
It is the eternal struggle
between two principles,
1218
01:22:24,772 --> 01:22:28,067
the one, the common right of humanity,
1219
01:22:28,317 --> 01:22:31,237
the other, the divine right of kings.
1220
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:34,240
It is the same spirit which says,
1221
01:22:34,323 --> 01:22:37,577
"You toil and work and earn bread
and I'll eat it."
1222
01:22:44,667 --> 01:22:50,256
As a nation, we began by declaring,
"All men are created equal.”
1223
01:22:51,174 --> 01:22:54,010
There was no mention
of any exception to that rule
1224
01:22:54,093 --> 01:22:56,512
in the Declaration of Independence,
1225
01:22:56,888 --> 01:22:58,973
but we now practically read it,
1226
01:22:59,056 --> 01:23:02,226
"All men are created equal
except Negroes."
1227
01:23:03,561 --> 01:23:08,524
If we are to accept this doctrine
of race or class discrimination,
1228
01:23:08,816 --> 01:23:11,819
what is to stop us in future
from decreeing,
1229
01:23:12,153 --> 01:23:16,741
all men are created equal
except Negroes, foreigners,
1230
01:23:17,033 --> 01:23:21,913
Catholics, Jews or just poor people?
1231
01:23:22,580 --> 01:23:27,293
That is the conclusion towards which
the advocates of slavery are driving us.
1232
01:23:27,543 --> 01:23:31,797
"Let each state mind its own business,"
says Judge Douglas.
1233
01:23:31,964 --> 01:23:33,674
"Why stir up trouble?"
1234
01:23:34,467 --> 01:23:39,722
This is the complacent policy
of indifference to evil,
1235
01:23:40,097 --> 01:23:44,602
and that policy I cannot but hate.
1236
01:23:45,770 --> 01:23:50,816
I hate it because of the monstrous
injustice of slavery itself.
1237
01:23:51,609 --> 01:23:54,654
I hate it because
it deprives our republic
1238
01:23:54,737 --> 01:23:57,073
of its just influence in the world,
1239
01:23:57,573 --> 01:24:03,329
enables the enemies of free institutions
everywhere to taunt us as hypocrites,
1240
01:24:04,038 --> 01:24:08,876
causes the real friends of freedom
to doubt our sincerity,
1241
01:24:09,835 --> 01:24:13,297
and especially because it forces
1242
01:24:13,381 --> 01:24:17,969
so many good men among ourselves
into an open war
1243
01:24:18,052 --> 01:24:21,389
with the very fundamentals
of civil liberty,
1244
01:24:22,056 --> 01:24:26,143
denying the good faith
of the Declaration of Independence
1245
01:24:26,561 --> 01:24:33,109
and insisting that there is no right
principle of action but self-interest.
1246
01:24:34,026 --> 01:24:36,487
In his final words tonight,
1247
01:24:37,196 --> 01:24:42,410
the judge said
that we can be the terror of the world.
1248
01:24:43,703 --> 01:24:46,455
I don't think we want to be that.
1249
01:24:47,915 --> 01:24:52,545
I think we would prefer to be
the encouragement of the world,
1250
01:24:53,421 --> 01:24:58,050
the proof that at last
man is worthy to be free.
1251
01:24:59,302 --> 01:25:02,430
But we shall provide
no such encouragement
1252
01:25:02,513 --> 01:25:06,934
unless we can establish our ability
as a nation to live and grow,
1253
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:10,771
and we shall surely do neither
1254
01:25:10,980 --> 01:25:14,775
if these states fail to remain united.
1255
01:25:16,027 --> 01:25:20,823
There can be no distinction
in the definition of liberty
1256
01:25:20,990 --> 01:25:23,492
as between one section and another,
1257
01:25:23,576 --> 01:25:27,079
one class and another,
one race and another.
1258
01:25:29,123 --> 01:25:33,753
A house divided against itself
cannot stand.
1259
01:25:35,046 --> 01:25:39,342
This government
cannot endure permanently
1260
01:25:39,967 --> 01:25:44,930
half slave and half free.
1261
01:25:54,523 --> 01:25:56,776
"This government
cannot endure permanently
1262
01:25:57,151 --> 01:25:59,362
half slave and half free."
1263
01:25:59,445 --> 01:26:02,239
Here's the proof of your editorial
for tomorrow, Mr. Greeley.
1264
01:26:02,365 --> 01:26:04,659
Scrap it.
I'm going to write another one,
1265
01:26:04,950 --> 01:26:06,452
about a man named Lincoln.
1266
01:26:06,535 --> 01:26:08,412
Lincoln? Never heard of him.
1267
01:26:09,163 --> 01:26:10,289
You will.
1268
01:26:32,436 --> 01:26:33,562
Gentlemen, please!
1269
01:26:33,646 --> 01:26:36,565
Gentlemen, I beg of you, one at a time.
1270
01:26:36,649 --> 01:26:39,860
If Seward's nominated,
he'll want to emancipate all the slaves.
1271
01:26:40,111 --> 01:26:41,696
That'll be the end of the Union.
1272
01:26:41,779 --> 01:26:44,323
I tell you that Douglas
will carry the South and the West.
1273
01:26:44,407 --> 01:26:46,909
We've got to be sure of New York
or we lose...
1274
01:26:46,992 --> 01:26:49,161
Seward will never get my vote.
1275
01:26:49,412 --> 01:26:52,498
Gentlemen, if you can't
contain your tempers, we'll never agree.
1276
01:26:52,581 --> 01:26:56,210
We'll never agree on any of
the leading candidates. That's obvious.
1277
01:26:56,293 --> 01:26:58,462
What we need in this race
is a dark horse.
1278
01:26:58,546 --> 01:27:00,715
- Yes, and what's his name?
- Lincoln.
1279
01:27:03,884 --> 01:27:05,386
Maybe you don't know it,
1280
01:27:05,469 --> 01:27:08,097
but there's a big country
out west of the Alleghenies,
1281
01:27:08,180 --> 01:27:11,600
with a lot of new states
named Oregon, Minnesota, California,
1282
01:27:11,684 --> 01:27:13,686
that you seem never to have heard of.
1283
01:27:13,769 --> 01:27:16,814
Lincoln's popular out there,
and if we handle him right,
1284
01:27:16,897 --> 01:27:19,066
we can make him popular
back here in the East.
1285
01:27:19,150 --> 01:27:21,652
Anyway, I ask you gentlemen
to look him over.
1286
01:27:21,777 --> 01:27:23,112
Do you know him, Crimmin?
1287
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,574
I heard him debate with Douglas,
and I can tell you one thing,
1288
01:27:26,657 --> 01:27:29,118
he's a vote-getter if I ever saw one.
1289
01:27:34,373 --> 01:27:36,083
They got safely to Oregon.
1290
01:27:36,500 --> 01:27:38,294
Did you ever fight the Indians, Pa?
1291
01:27:38,377 --> 01:27:42,339
Not exactly. I was almost in a battle,
but I got lost from my men.
1292
01:27:42,673 --> 01:27:43,924
Were you scared?
1293
01:27:44,008 --> 01:27:46,218
That, my boy,
brings up a point of argument.
1294
01:27:46,802 --> 01:27:49,555
When I got back to the camp,
the Colonel asked me if I'd run away.
1295
01:27:49,638 --> 01:27:52,558
I said, "No, sir, but if anybody
had asked me where I was going,
1296
01:27:52,641 --> 01:27:54,477
and I'd said I was going for the doctor,
1297
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,645
they'd have figured
someone was almighty sick."
1298
01:28:00,816 --> 01:28:03,319
- Robert, you've been smoking again.
- Yes, Mother.
1299
01:28:03,569 --> 01:28:05,988
I've told you
that I will not tolerate tobacco smoke
1300
01:28:06,071 --> 01:28:08,574
in my sitting room
or indeed in any part of my house.
1301
01:28:08,991 --> 01:28:10,117
Come, come, Mary.
1302
01:28:10,201 --> 01:28:12,328
You mustn't be disrespectful
to a Harvard man.
1303
01:28:13,829 --> 01:28:15,589
- Take it out in the woodshed.
- Yes, Father.
1304
01:28:15,706 --> 01:28:17,875
You children, run upstairs.
Get ready for your supper.
1305
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,920
- Oh, Ma...
- Do as your mother tells you, son.
1306
01:28:25,883 --> 01:28:28,427
- Hello, Mr. Speed!
- Hello, Willie. Hello, Tad.
1307
01:28:31,639 --> 01:28:34,058
Say, Abe, that delegation
arrived in town an hour ago.
1308
01:28:34,141 --> 01:28:36,519
- They ought to be here any minute.
- What delegation?
1309
01:28:36,811 --> 01:28:39,230
Oh, some prominent politicians
and ministers,
1310
01:28:39,313 --> 01:28:41,565
several bankers, that kind of people.
1311
01:28:42,024 --> 01:28:45,027
- What are they coming here for?
- I don't precisely know,
1312
01:28:45,110 --> 01:28:47,613
but I presume it's to see
if I'm fit to be a candidate
1313
01:28:47,696 --> 01:28:49,448
for President of the United States.
1314
01:28:49,657 --> 01:28:50,825
Guess they want to find out
1315
01:28:50,908 --> 01:28:52,159
if we live in a log cabin
1316
01:28:52,243 --> 01:28:53,929
and keep pigs under the bed.
1317
01:28:53,953 --> 01:28:57,873
- And you didn't tell me?
- I'm sorry, Mary. It slipped my mind.
1318
01:28:58,999 --> 01:29:00,835
You're being considered
for the presidency,
1319
01:29:00,918 --> 01:29:02,419
but it just slipped your mind.
1320
01:29:02,586 --> 01:29:04,755
Oh, if I'd only known,
1321
01:29:04,839 --> 01:29:07,258
if you'd only given me time
to prepare for them.
1322
01:29:07,341 --> 01:29:10,761
Now they'll see us as we are,
crude, sloppy Western barbarians
1323
01:29:10,845 --> 01:29:13,389
living In a house
that reeks of foul tobacco smoke
1324
01:29:13,472 --> 01:29:15,391
and your filthy old carpet slippers.
1325
01:29:15,474 --> 01:29:16,976
I declare, Abraham Lincoln,
1326
01:29:17,059 --> 01:29:19,228
I believe you'd have treated me
with more consideration
1327
01:29:19,311 --> 01:29:21,230
if I'd been your slave
rather than your wife.
1328
01:29:21,397 --> 01:29:23,816
Go this minute
and put some decent boots on.
1329
01:29:24,650 --> 01:29:25,818
Yes, Mary.
1330
01:29:35,202 --> 01:29:36,579
I know, Joshua.
1331
01:29:37,329 --> 01:29:41,917
You think, just as all the others do,
I'm a bitter, nagging woman,
1332
01:29:42,835 --> 01:29:45,880
that I've tried to kill his spirit
and drag him down to my level.
1333
01:29:46,255 --> 01:29:48,674
No, Mary, I think nothing of the kind.
1334
01:29:49,049 --> 01:29:50,634
Remember, I know Abe too.
1335
01:29:53,679 --> 01:29:56,932
He's always had some obsession
of some future doom.
1336
01:29:57,892 --> 01:29:59,560
And for 18 years,
1337
01:29:59,643 --> 01:30:02,354
I've been trying and trying
to stir him out of it,
1338
01:30:03,230 --> 01:30:06,567
but all my efforts
have been like so many waves
1339
01:30:06,650 --> 01:30:08,777
dashing against the rock of ages.
1340
01:30:09,862 --> 01:30:12,364
And now the greatest opportunity
is coming to him,
1341
01:30:12,448 --> 01:30:14,241
here, right into his own house.
1342
01:30:14,909 --> 01:30:16,035
He must take it.
1343
01:30:16,660 --> 01:30:19,663
He must see that this is
what he was meant to be.
1344
01:30:21,832 --> 01:30:23,459
But I can't persuade him of it.
1345
01:30:25,085 --> 01:30:28,005
I thought that I could help to shape him
as I knew he should be,
1346
01:30:28,964 --> 01:30:31,717
and I've succeeded in nothing
but in breaking myself.
1347
01:30:33,344 --> 01:30:36,013
- Mr. Lincoln?
- I've got my boots on, Mary.
1348
01:30:36,096 --> 01:30:37,264
You can receive them in here
1349
01:30:37,348 --> 01:30:39,600
while I try to prepare
some refreshments for them.
1350
01:30:45,105 --> 01:30:47,316
How do you do, Mr. Crimmin?
Glad to see you again.
1351
01:30:47,399 --> 01:30:48,567
Thank you, Mr. Lincoln.
1352
01:30:48,651 --> 01:30:50,569
Will you step into the parlor,
gentlemen?
1353
01:30:52,112 --> 01:30:54,156
- Mr. Lincoln.
- Come on in, Josh.
1354
01:30:54,239 --> 01:30:58,077
Oh, no. You've got to face this out
by yourself, Abe. Good luck.
1355
01:31:03,332 --> 01:31:06,126
Is it true that they're aiming
to make Abe President?
1356
01:31:06,335 --> 01:31:09,880
How many times have I told you
to speak of your master as Mr. Lincoln?
1357
01:31:09,964 --> 01:31:12,132
He ain't my master
any more than he is yours.
1358
01:31:12,216 --> 01:31:13,676
Besides, I've known Abe Lincoln
1359
01:31:13,759 --> 01:31:16,095
ever since he wore pants
that weren't nothing but patches.
1360
01:31:16,178 --> 01:31:17,680
Kettle's boiling, Mrs. Lincoln.
1361
01:31:18,847 --> 01:31:20,724
President of the United States.
1362
01:31:20,808 --> 01:31:22,810
If they get him back there
into Washington,
1363
01:31:22,893 --> 01:31:24,144
he won't never come out alive.
1364
01:31:27,523 --> 01:31:31,068
I hesitate to mention
such a delicate matter, Mr. Lincoln.
1365
01:31:31,151 --> 01:31:33,195
Please don't hesitate, Dr. Barrett.
1366
01:31:33,362 --> 01:31:35,864
There has been some grave doubt
about your religious beliefs.
1367
01:31:35,948 --> 01:31:37,908
I know.
They've always called me an atheist
1368
01:31:37,992 --> 01:31:40,536
because I've refused
to become a church member.
1369
01:31:40,869 --> 01:31:42,496
And why have you refused?
1370
01:31:42,830 --> 01:31:46,417
I have found their articles of belief
too complicated for me.
1371
01:31:47,376 --> 01:31:51,755
But I assure you, Dr. Barrett,
that I will gladly join, at any time,
1372
01:31:51,839 --> 01:31:54,967
any church whose sole qualification
for membership
1373
01:31:55,050 --> 01:31:59,138
is obedience to the savior's
own statement of law and gospel.
1374
01:32:01,223 --> 01:32:04,935
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart
1375
01:32:05,644 --> 01:32:09,565
and with all thy soul
and with all thy mind.
1376
01:32:11,066 --> 01:32:14,194
And thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself."
1377
01:32:16,613 --> 01:32:18,615
Now, gentlemen, if you will excuse me,
1378
01:32:18,699 --> 01:32:21,618
I believe Mrs. Lincoln
IS preparing a slight collation
1379
01:32:21,827 --> 01:32:23,746
and I must see if I can be of any help.
1380
01:32:25,956 --> 01:32:28,125
Gentlemen, what's the verdict?
1381
01:32:28,417 --> 01:32:30,753
- The man unquestionably is an infidel.
- And a radical.
1382
01:32:30,836 --> 01:32:32,921
He's as much of a demagogue as Douglas.
1383
01:32:33,005 --> 01:32:36,008
He's an idealist
in a curious, primitive way.
1384
01:32:36,091 --> 01:32:38,010
He's a rabble-rouser, pure and simple.
1385
01:32:38,093 --> 01:32:40,387
In my opinion,
this man Lincoln is not safe.
1386
01:32:41,305 --> 01:32:44,141
- What do you mean, not safe?
- Just that. He's a radical.
1387
01:32:44,224 --> 01:32:46,769
A man who devotes himself
so wholeheartedly
1388
01:32:46,852 --> 01:32:50,189
to currying favor with the mob
develops a mob mentality.
1389
01:32:50,272 --> 01:32:52,066
And what's more,
he evaded our questions.
1390
01:32:52,149 --> 01:32:53,609
Now, please, gentlemen.
1391
01:32:53,692 --> 01:32:56,779
I may not know as much as you do
about economics and theology,
1392
01:32:56,862 --> 01:32:58,781
but I do know politics,
1393
01:32:58,864 --> 01:33:02,326
and what is the essential quality
that we demand in our candidate?
1394
01:33:02,409 --> 01:33:05,746
It is simply this, that he be able
to get himself elected.
1395
01:33:05,829 --> 01:33:07,498
There's something in what you say.
1396
01:33:07,581 --> 01:33:09,458
And do you think he can do it?
1397
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,961
I tell you, gentlemen,
in that uncouth rail-splitter,
1398
01:33:13,045 --> 01:33:16,423
you may observe one of the slickest,
smoothest politicians
1399
01:33:16,548 --> 01:33:18,550
that ever hoodwinked a yokel mob.
1400
01:33:18,717 --> 01:33:20,636
Of course he evaded your questions.
1401
01:33:21,011 --> 01:33:25,140
You asked him about the labor question
and he said, "I believe in democracy."
1402
01:33:25,808 --> 01:33:27,351
You asked him about religion
1403
01:33:27,434 --> 01:33:30,687
and he replied,
"Love thy neighbor as thyself."
1404
01:33:30,979 --> 01:33:34,024
Now you know you couldn't
argue with that, any of you.
1405
01:33:34,483 --> 01:33:37,986
The voters will love him
because he's just as common as they are,
1406
01:33:38,278 --> 01:33:40,614
a plain, homespun American.
1407
01:33:40,697 --> 01:33:44,451
His very name is right, honest old Abe.
1408
01:33:45,035 --> 01:33:46,578
He'll play the game with us now,
1409
01:33:46,662 --> 01:33:49,665
and he'll go right on playing it
after we get him into the White House.
1410
01:33:49,748 --> 01:33:52,918
- He'll do just what we tell him.
- Careful, Mr. Crimmin.
1411
01:33:53,252 --> 01:33:56,004
And now, gentlemen, if you will step
into the dining room,
1412
01:33:56,213 --> 01:33:58,924
Mrs. Lincoln will be pleased
to serve you with a cup of tea.
1413
01:33:59,007 --> 01:34:01,510
- Thank you.
- This is most gracious.
1414
01:34:03,971 --> 01:34:06,014
Bring your cigar with you, Mr. Crimmin.
1415
01:34:06,265 --> 01:34:07,683
Thank you. Thank you.
1416
01:34:07,766 --> 01:34:10,435
...the choice of the nation.
1417
01:34:10,644 --> 01:34:14,022
Our chieftain so brave and so true.
1418
01:34:14,106 --> 01:34:17,067
We'll go for the great reformation.
1419
01:34:17,151 --> 01:34:20,821
For Lincoln and liberty too.
1420
01:34:21,071 --> 01:34:24,283
We'll go for the son of Kentucky.
1421
01:34:24,449 --> 01:34:27,578
The hero of Hoosierdom through.
1422
01:34:28,245 --> 01:34:29,788
The pride of the suckers so lucky.
1423
01:34:30,789 --> 01:34:33,834
For Lincoln and liberty too.
1424
01:34:34,710 --> 01:34:37,212
We'll go for the son of Kentucky.
1425
01:34:38,130 --> 01:34:41,008
The hero of Hoosierdom through.
1426
01:34:41,717 --> 01:34:44,511
The pride of the suckers so lucky.
1427
01:34:44,595 --> 01:34:46,930
For Lincoln and liberty too.
1428
01:34:47,389 --> 01:34:48,849
Mr. Lincoln seem to be worrying any?
1429
01:34:48,932 --> 01:34:50,642
No. He's in there reading the newspaper.
1430
01:34:56,773 --> 01:34:58,775
Lincoln and Douglas
neck and neck in Illinois.
1431
01:34:59,359 --> 01:35:01,278
Maryland is going
all for Bell and Breckinridge.
1432
01:35:01,361 --> 01:35:03,113
Abe, you're nowhere in Maryland.
1433
01:35:03,488 --> 01:35:05,199
I see the New York Herald says
1434
01:35:05,282 --> 01:35:09,620
I got the soul of a Uriah Heep
encased in the body of a baboon.
1435
01:35:11,038 --> 01:35:12,539
What does it say about New York?
1436
01:35:12,831 --> 01:35:15,375
Douglas 117,000. Lincoln 106.
1437
01:35:15,709 --> 01:35:17,269
He's winning from you in New York, Abe.
1438
01:35:17,294 --> 01:35:20,047
Not yet, Mary. These returns so far
are coming most from the city
1439
01:35:20,130 --> 01:35:21,924
where Douglas is bound
to run the strongest.
1440
01:35:22,507 --> 01:35:24,384
What does it look like
in Pennsylvania, Ninian?
1441
01:35:24,468 --> 01:35:26,070
There's nothing
to worry about there, Mary.
1442
01:35:26,094 --> 01:35:28,680
It's safe for Abe. In fact,
there's no need to worry at all.
1443
01:35:28,931 --> 01:35:31,058
Yes, you've said that
over and over all evening.
1444
01:35:31,141 --> 01:35:32,434
"There's no need to worry."
1445
01:35:32,559 --> 01:35:33,810
How can we help worrying
1446
01:35:33,894 --> 01:35:35,646
when every new bulletin
shows Douglas ahead?
1447
01:35:35,729 --> 01:35:37,314
Every one of them shows Abe gaining.
1448
01:35:37,397 --> 01:35:39,417
Just give them time
to count all the votes in New York,
1449
01:35:39,441 --> 01:35:41,201
and you'll be on your way
to the White House.
1450
01:35:41,276 --> 01:35:43,213
Why don't they hurry?
Why don't those returns come in?
1451
01:35:43,237 --> 01:35:44,655
They'll come in soon enough.
1452
01:35:46,114 --> 01:35:47,282
Telegram from New York.
1453
01:35:47,366 --> 01:35:49,368
Mr. August Belmont states
that Douglas has piled up
1454
01:35:49,451 --> 01:35:51,787
a majority of 50,000 votes
in New York City
1455
01:35:51,870 --> 01:35:53,413
and will undoubtedly carry the state.
1456
01:35:56,458 --> 01:35:58,001
Oh, shut up!
1457
01:35:58,502 --> 01:36:00,003
That mob down there is sickening.
1458
01:36:00,087 --> 01:36:02,172
They cheer every bulletin
that's flashed on the wall
1459
01:36:02,256 --> 01:36:03,632
whether the news is good or bad.
1460
01:36:03,715 --> 01:36:05,759
They cheer every picture
of every candidate,
1461
01:36:05,842 --> 01:36:09,638
including George Washington,
with the same fine, ignorant enthusiasm.
1462
01:36:10,013 --> 01:36:11,682
Maybe they can't tell the difference.
1463
01:36:12,224 --> 01:36:14,935
The reporters are outside, Mr. Lincoln.
They want to know
1464
01:36:15,269 --> 01:36:18,063
what will be your first official action
after you're elected?
1465
01:36:18,438 --> 01:36:19,982
What do you want us to tell them, Abe?
1466
01:36:20,065 --> 01:36:21,984
Tell them I'm thinking
of growing a beard.
1467
01:36:22,067 --> 01:36:24,569
- A what?
- Whatever put that idea in your head?
1468
01:36:24,945 --> 01:36:26,405
I had a letter from a little girl,
1469
01:36:26,488 --> 01:36:28,782
said I ought to have whiskers
to give me more dignity.
1470
01:36:28,865 --> 01:36:30,575
I'll need it if elected.
1471
01:36:30,659 --> 01:36:37,207
"Missouri. Douglas, 35,000,
Bell, 33, Breckinridge, 16, Lincoln, 8."
1472
01:36:41,878 --> 01:36:44,172
Mr. Lincoln, you're beating them badly
in Rhode Island.
1473
01:36:44,631 --> 01:36:47,175
- What are they cheering for?
- They don't know.
1474
01:36:47,884 --> 01:36:50,554
Chicago Times says,
"Lincoln breaks down.
1475
01:36:50,637 --> 01:36:54,266
His heart fails him.
His tongue fails him. His legs fail him.
1476
01:36:54,349 --> 01:36:57,728
He fails all over.
Douglas skins the living dog."
1477
01:37:01,523 --> 01:37:02,733
Stop it!
1478
01:37:04,693 --> 01:37:06,320
I can't stand it any longer.
1479
01:37:06,570 --> 01:37:08,447
Yes, my dear.
I think you should go home.
1480
01:37:08,530 --> 01:37:11,283
- I'll join you presently.
- I won't go home.
1481
01:37:11,366 --> 01:37:12,659
You only want to be rid of me.
1482
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:15,221
That's all you've wanted
ever since the day we were married
1483
01:37:15,245 --> 01:37:16,371
and before that.
1484
01:37:16,455 --> 01:37:18,915
Anything to get me out of your sight
because you hate me.
1485
01:37:20,042 --> 01:37:22,127
And it's the same with all of you,
all his friends.
1486
01:37:22,210 --> 01:37:24,421
You hate me.
You wish I'd never come into his life.
1487
01:37:24,629 --> 01:37:25,881
No, Mary.
1488
01:37:26,590 --> 01:37:28,633
Will you all please step out
for a minute?
1489
01:37:43,607 --> 01:37:45,942
Why do you take
every opportunity you can
1490
01:37:46,026 --> 01:37:48,153
to make a public fool
out of me and yourself?
1491
01:37:49,446 --> 01:37:51,114
It's bad enough when you act like that
1492
01:37:51,198 --> 01:37:54,034
in the privacy of our own home,
but here in front of people...
1493
01:37:56,119 --> 01:37:58,288
You're not to do that again,
do you hear?
1494
01:37:58,705 --> 01:38:00,749
You're never to do that again.
1495
01:38:02,918 --> 01:38:04,878
You never spoke to me like that before.
1496
01:38:06,546 --> 01:38:07,923
You lost your temper, Abe.
1497
01:38:09,966 --> 01:38:11,510
You've never done that before.
1498
01:38:12,344 --> 01:38:13,387
I'm sorry, Mary.
1499
01:38:15,305 --> 01:38:18,266
I still think you should go home
rather than stay here
1500
01:38:18,350 --> 01:38:21,103
and endure the strain
of this death watch.
1501
01:38:39,079 --> 01:38:41,873
This is the night I dreamed about
when I was a child.
1502
01:38:43,458 --> 01:38:45,252
When I was an excited young girl
1503
01:38:45,335 --> 01:38:48,380
and all the gay, young gentlemen
in Springfield were courting me.
1504
01:38:49,756 --> 01:38:52,217
And I fell in love
with the least likely of them.
1505
01:38:54,302 --> 01:38:56,054
This is the night I'm waiting to hear
1506
01:38:56,138 --> 01:38:59,057
my husband has become
President of the United States,
1507
01:39:00,350 --> 01:39:04,938
and even if he does...
it's ruined for me.
1508
01:39:07,441 --> 01:39:08,942
It's too late.
1509
01:39:37,679 --> 01:39:39,514
- Is Mother all right?
- Yes, son.
1510
01:39:39,598 --> 01:39:41,391
She's going home.
You'd better go with her.
1511
01:39:41,475 --> 01:39:42,893
Yes, sir.
1512
01:39:42,976 --> 01:39:46,313
It looks like 74 electoral votes
sure for you,
1513
01:39:46,480 --> 01:39:48,440
and 27 more, probably.
1514
01:39:48,815 --> 01:39:50,317
New York will give you the election.
1515
01:39:51,485 --> 01:39:53,528
Mark my words, Mr. Lincoln,
1516
01:39:53,612 --> 01:39:56,490
this election is wrapped up tightly
in a neat bundle,
1517
01:39:56,573 --> 01:39:58,700
ready to deliver
on your doorstep tonight.
1518
01:39:58,783 --> 01:40:00,744
We've fought the good fight
and we've won.
1519
01:40:00,827 --> 01:40:02,871
Yes. We've fought the good fight
1520
01:40:02,954 --> 01:40:06,833
in the dirtiest campaign
in the history of corrupt politics.
1521
01:40:07,501 --> 01:40:08,919
And if I win,
1522
01:40:09,127 --> 01:40:12,964
I must fill all the dishonest pledges
made in my name.
1523
01:40:24,392 --> 01:40:26,186
You gentlemen
have all been close friends
1524
01:40:26,269 --> 01:40:28,104
of our candidate for a long time,
1525
01:40:28,188 --> 01:40:31,858
So possibly you can answer a question
that's been puzzling me considerably.
1526
01:40:32,192 --> 01:40:35,695
Can I possibly be correct in supposing
that he doesn't want to win?
1527
01:40:36,029 --> 01:40:37,489
The answer is yes.
1528
01:40:38,323 --> 01:40:40,534
I can only say that for me,
1529
01:40:40,617 --> 01:40:43,286
this is all
a refreshingly new experience.
1530
01:40:43,370 --> 01:40:46,122
Would you want to become President
of the United States at this time?
1531
01:40:46,206 --> 01:40:48,124
Haven't you been reading
the newspapers lately?
1532
01:40:48,208 --> 01:40:50,544
Why, yes.
I try to follow the events of the day.
1533
01:40:50,627 --> 01:40:54,089
Don't you realize that they've raised
10,000 volunteers in South Carolina?
1534
01:40:54,172 --> 01:40:55,090
They're arming them.
1535
01:40:55,173 --> 01:40:56,967
The governor has issued
a proclamation saying
1536
01:40:57,050 --> 01:40:59,553
that if Mr. Lincoln is elected,
the state will secede tomorrow.
1537
01:40:59,636 --> 01:41:02,138
Every other state
south of the Dixon line will go with it.
1538
01:41:02,639 --> 01:41:06,184
Can you see what that means?
War. Civil War.
1539
01:41:07,561 --> 01:41:10,772
And he'll have the whole
terrible responsibility for it,
1540
01:41:11,064 --> 01:41:13,608
the man who has
never wanted anything in his life
1541
01:41:13,692 --> 01:41:15,944
but to be let alone in peace.
1542
01:41:16,027 --> 01:41:17,320
Calm down, Billy.
1543
01:41:18,321 --> 01:41:19,698
Go get yourself another drink.
1544
01:41:20,156 --> 01:41:21,908
Mr. Edwards, here it is!
1545
01:41:24,369 --> 01:41:26,663
"At 10:30 tonight,
the New York Herald conceded
1546
01:41:26,746 --> 01:41:28,582
that Mr. Lincoln had carried the state
1547
01:41:28,707 --> 01:41:32,210
by a majority of at least 25,000
and had won the election!"
1548
01:41:48,643 --> 01:41:49,936
Listen to them, Abe.
1549
01:41:50,020 --> 01:41:51,855
Listen to that crazy,
howling mob down there.
1550
01:41:51,938 --> 01:41:53,857
It's all for you, Mr. Lincoln.
1551
01:41:54,024 --> 01:41:56,401
Abe, get out there
and make them a speech.
1552
01:41:58,153 --> 01:41:59,988
No. I don't want to go out there.
1553
01:42:00,071 --> 01:42:02,616
We'll go for the son
of Kentucky
1554
01:42:02,824 --> 01:42:04,534
I think I'll go home and tell Mary.
1555
01:42:04,618 --> 01:42:06,661
The hero of Hoosierdom through.
1556
01:42:06,911 --> 01:42:09,164
The pride of the suckers so lucky.
1557
01:42:09,247 --> 01:42:12,584
For Lincoln and liberty too.
1558
01:42:12,959 --> 01:42:15,587
This is Captain Cavanaugh,
Mr. President.
1559
01:42:15,754 --> 01:42:17,714
I've been detailed
to accompany you, Mr. Lincoln,
1560
01:42:17,797 --> 01:42:19,007
in the event of your election.
1561
01:42:19,507 --> 01:42:22,052
I'm grateful to you, Captain,
but I don't need you.
1562
01:42:23,011 --> 01:42:24,888
You've got to have us, sir. I'm sorry.
1563
01:42:25,388 --> 01:42:28,767
I don't want to be alarming,
but I guess you know as well as I do
1564
01:42:28,850 --> 01:42:30,685
that threats have been made
against your life.
1565
01:42:34,314 --> 01:42:35,398
Well...
1566
01:42:39,903 --> 01:42:44,824
Good night, Josh, Ninian,
Mr. Crimmin, Billy.
1567
01:42:48,328 --> 01:42:49,329
Thank you.
1568
01:42:50,830 --> 01:42:53,416
One moment, sir.
With your permission, I'll go first.
1569
01:42:53,708 --> 01:42:55,543
Old Abe Lincoln.
1570
01:42:55,627 --> 01:42:58,588
Came out of the wilderness.
1571
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:02,175
Down in Illinois.
1572
01:44:04,612 --> 01:44:06,948
Steve, it's good of you to come.
1573
01:44:07,031 --> 01:44:09,868
Abe, you and I have been adversaries
for a good many years.
1574
01:44:09,951 --> 01:44:12,871
We've indulged in mortal combat
on every conceivable issue,
1575
01:44:13,288 --> 01:44:15,498
but now you're
President of the United States,
1576
01:44:15,874 --> 01:44:18,334
and I want you to know
that I'm fighting with you.
1577
01:44:19,002 --> 01:44:21,296
Steve, you're a good, generous man.
1578
01:44:32,223 --> 01:44:33,558
Speech!
1579
01:44:33,641 --> 01:44:36,186
- Speech! Speech!
- Say something, Abe!
1580
01:44:36,644 --> 01:44:38,563
They want you to say something, Abe.
1581
01:44:43,193 --> 01:44:46,404
My dear friends,
I have to say goodbye to you now.
1582
01:44:46,488 --> 01:44:49,115
I'm leaving for Washington
with my new whiskers,
1583
01:44:49,199 --> 01:44:50,909
of which I hope you approve.
1584
01:44:52,869 --> 01:44:54,287
Stay back there!
1585
01:44:54,370 --> 01:44:56,498
No, no, Lieutenant.
Let them come on.
1586
01:44:56,581 --> 01:44:58,416
They're all old friends of mine.
1587
01:45:10,762 --> 01:45:14,140
No one not in my situation
can appreciate
1588
01:45:14,224 --> 01:45:17,393
my feelings of sadness at this parting.
1589
01:45:18,228 --> 01:45:22,190
To this place and the kindness
of you people, I owe everything.
1590
01:45:23,441 --> 01:45:28,530
I now leave not knowing when
or whether ever I may return.
1591
01:45:29,030 --> 01:45:31,741
It is a grave duty that I must face.
1592
01:45:32,075 --> 01:45:33,952
In preparing for it,
1593
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:39,624
I have tried to inquire
what great principle or ideal it is
1594
01:45:40,458 --> 01:45:43,962
which has kept this Union
so long together.
1595
01:45:45,046 --> 01:45:48,341
And I believe that
it was not the mere matter
1596
01:45:48,424 --> 01:45:51,970
of separation of the colonies
from the motherland,
1597
01:45:52,971 --> 01:45:57,433
but that sentiment
in the Declaration of Independence
1598
01:45:57,684 --> 01:46:01,437
which gave liberty
to the people of this country
1599
01:46:02,313 --> 01:46:04,941
and hope to all the world.
1600
01:46:05,567 --> 01:46:07,694
We gained democracy,
1601
01:46:08,486 --> 01:46:12,615
and there is now doubt
whether it is fit to survive.
1602
01:46:14,826 --> 01:46:16,953
I have heard of an Eastern monarch
1603
01:46:17,036 --> 01:46:20,331
who once charged his wise men
to invent him a sentence
1604
01:46:20,415 --> 01:46:25,086
which should be true and appropriate
at all times and situations.
1605
01:46:26,713 --> 01:46:28,965
They presented him with the words,
1606
01:46:30,133 --> 01:46:33,469
"And this too shall pass away."
1607
01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:38,975
That's a comforting thought
in times of affliction.
1608
01:46:40,101 --> 01:46:43,313
"And this too shall pass away."
1609
01:46:45,356 --> 01:46:50,570
Yet, let us believe that it is not true.
1610
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:54,157
Let us live to prove
1611
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:57,911
that we can cultivate
the natural world around us
1612
01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:03,291
and the intellectual
and the moral world within us
1613
01:47:04,626 --> 01:47:09,797
so that we may secure
an individual, social
1614
01:47:10,924 --> 01:47:13,801
and political prosperity
1615
01:47:14,928 --> 01:47:17,597
whose course shall be forward
1616
01:47:19,390 --> 01:47:23,144
and which, while this Earth endures,
1617
01:47:23,394 --> 01:47:26,064
shall not pass away.
1618
01:47:29,776 --> 01:47:32,445
I commend you
to the care of the Almighty,
1619
01:47:34,364 --> 01:47:37,909
and I hope, in your prayers,
you may remember me.
1620
01:47:40,787 --> 01:47:42,455
Friends, one and all,
1621
01:47:43,122 --> 01:47:47,210
I must now bid you
an affectionate farewell.
1622
01:47:55,218 --> 01:48:01,307
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord.
1623
01:48:01,391 --> 01:48:02,517
Goodbye, Abe!
1624
01:48:02,642 --> 01:48:05,144
He is trampling out the vintage.
1625
01:48:05,228 --> 01:48:08,398
Where the grapes of wrath are stored.
1626
01:48:08,481 --> 01:48:11,567
He hath loosed the fateful lightning.
1627
01:48:11,651 --> 01:48:14,862
Of his terrible swift sword.
1628
01:48:14,946 --> 01:48:21,160
His truth is marching on.
1629
01:48:21,786 --> 01:48:27,834
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
1630
01:48:27,917 --> 01:48:33,798
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
1631
01:48:34,257 --> 01:48:39,971
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
1632
01:48:40,054 --> 01:48:44,600
His truth is marching on.
1633
01:48:46,519 --> 01:48:51,858
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
1634
01:48:52,025 --> 01:48:58,948
His truth is marching on.
1635
01:49:01,576 --> 01:49:03,828
Old Abe Lincoln.
1636
01:49:03,911 --> 01:49:07,540
Came out of the wilderness.
1637
01:49:07,623 --> 01:49:10,960
Out of the wilderness.
1638
01:49:11,044 --> 01:49:13,963
Out of the wilderness.
1639
01:49:14,338 --> 01:49:16,758
Old Abe Lincoln.
1640
01:49:16,841 --> 01:49:21,637
Came out of the wilderness.
1641
01:49:21,929 --> 01:49:27,393
His truth is marching on.
1642
01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:34,901
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
1643
01:49:35,151 --> 01:49:41,032
His truth is marching on
