00:03:23 #8 It's the whole thing.

00:03:25 #9 You better duck off that shoe, then, St. James.

00:03:29 #10 So you ain't here for long.

00:03:31 #11 Well, I was in the settle here a while.

00:03:33 #12 This ain't no peaceable town.

00:03:35 #13 Well, I'm a peaceable man.

00:03:39 #15 You throw out that door like you're the sack of news.

00:03:42 #16 Big dog?

00:03:46 #18 He ain't never been late.

00:03:48 #19 And when he sees you,

00:03:50 #20 folks can't even stick without his face, though.

00:03:53 #21 Shut me out of that door, you say?

00:03:55 #22 Like a sack of meals.

00:03:57 #23 That's for a long church for a peaceful man.

00:04:01 #24 Bobby!

00:04:04 #25 Now, I'm strong.

00:04:05 #26 Can't you see what's been?

00:04:07 #27 You just busted up over in Simpson's place

00:04:09 #28 to set his new flag all over the county.

00:04:11 #29 Man, don't you ever rest.

00:04:13 #30 Oh, baby.

00:04:15 #31 Get a yellow-liverted fat boon from Indiana.

00:04:19 #32 I come from Indiana, but not that far.

00:04:22 #33 Well, get out.

00:04:24 #34 Let's see what bones I want to crack first.

00:04:27 #35 Oh, Jack, connect bro.

00:04:37 #36 Get him, get him, get him.

00:04:39 #37 This is the easiest back you've ever had.

00:04:41 #38 Watch your hands.

00:04:42 #39 I'll pull through it, Jack.

00:04:43 #40 Hey, brother Jack.

00:04:44 #41 Hey, here we go.

00:04:45 #42 But get, Jack, the boss.

00:04:46 #43 Get him.

00:04:47 #44 Hey, brother Jack.

00:04:49 #45 Get him, Jack.

00:04:50 #46 Come on, boys!

00:04:52 #47 Get out of here!

00:04:54 #48 I'm the champion!

00:04:56 #49 Get out of here!

00:05:13 #50 Get out!

00:05:26 #51 Come on out here!

00:05:28 #52 I'm the big fucking district!

00:05:30 #53 Yeah, you're all right.

00:05:32 #54 Hello, boys!

00:05:34 #55 He told me, boy.

00:05:36 #56 What's your name?

00:05:39 #57 Lincoln? Abraham Lincoln?

00:05:42 #58 Well, then, we're gonna make you one of us.

00:05:45 #59 Come on, boys! I have set him up.

00:05:47 #60 Give us time.

00:05:49 #61 Hey, you know what happened?

00:05:51 #62 Hey, listen to him, I've been ready.

00:05:53 #63 I've been ready.

00:05:57 #64 He said he was a beast from there.

00:05:59 #65 He must be like a wild cat.

00:06:01 #66 Yeah, that's funny, boy.

00:06:03 #67 That is corn liquor.

00:06:05 #68 How's that?

00:06:06 #69 That is corn liquor.

00:06:08 #70 Come on, Dave, why is yours?

00:06:11 #71 No, I don't care much for it.

00:06:13 #72 Oh, come on, have a drink, Dave.

00:06:15 #73 Well, I'll drink it if you take it like I do.

00:06:18 #74 How's that?

00:06:19 #75 Lift up the barrel and drink it out of the bong.

00:06:22 #76 Ain't no man living can do that.

00:06:24 #77 Well, I'll show you, boys.

00:06:29 #78 Maybe catch the quietest.

00:06:45 #79 Oh, I like that.

00:06:47 #80 I'm not going to stand and say anything.

00:06:49 #81 I told you to close the door.

00:06:51 #82 I've seen him before.

00:06:52 #83 I've heard about it.

00:06:53 #84 He changed it.

00:06:54 #85 I haven't heard about it.

00:06:57 #86 That's your drinking?

00:06:58 #87 No.

00:07:00 #88 She told you?

00:07:01 #89 No.

00:07:02 #90 You're former?

00:07:03 #91 No, I don't regulate nobody's drinking.

00:07:06 #92 Just more.

00:07:08 #93 I'm not going to open the door.

00:07:11 #94 I've seen him before.

00:07:12 #95 In this sense, the term law includes any edict

00:07:18 #96 Decree, order, ordinance, statute, resolution, rule, et cetera.

00:07:30 #97 Et cetera?

00:07:40 #98 Well, my old daddy taught me how to work, but he never taught me how to like it.

00:07:45 #99 Rick and I better keep on with the lesson.

00:07:52 #100 I'd rather keep on with something else.

00:07:55 #101 You made a bad bargain making me the professor.

00:08:00 #102 Well, he told me about that, too.

00:08:03 #103 He said if you make a bad bargain, hug it all a little tighter.

00:08:08 #104 But he didn't mean this kind of a bargain.

00:08:13 #105 Well, don't you like it, Anne, when I hold you tight?

00:08:17 #106 I guess every girl saw the light strong.

00:08:23 #107 Now, Abe, this is low.

00:08:30 #108 Well, Professor, law is a rule of human conduct.

00:08:36 #109 Governing the...

00:08:37 #110 Whoa!

00:08:38 #111 Babe!

00:08:40 #112 Ain't paying you no 40 cents a day to spark the pretty gal.

00:08:44 #113 Well, Uncle Jimmy, don't charge nothing extra, Furt.

00:08:47 #114 Just throw it in.

00:08:48 #115 I'm expecting a sight of rails out of you.

00:08:56 #116 He's the best railsplitter in the country.

00:08:59 #117 He'll be more than a railsplitter.

00:09:02 #118 How old are you, Uncle Jimmy?

00:09:04 #119 40.

00:09:07 #120 I'll get you out 40 more rails than you expected.

00:09:10 #121 Yeah, there.

00:09:14 #122 Maybe you better make it near 70.

00:09:18 #123 Now, Abe, your professor needs to see

00:09:31 #124 where there's more law and less temptation.

00:09:34 #125 Are you all right, Ann?

00:09:48 #126 Oh, I think so.

00:09:49 #127 Are you hurt?

00:09:50 #128 My legs are still on me.

00:09:52 #129 Scared me worse than it did you.

00:09:57 #130 Did it, Abe?

00:10:00 #131 You know, Anne, if anything happened to you, I don't think I could live.

00:10:06 #132 Funny, Abe. I feel the same about you.

00:10:10 #133 You taught me how to love.

00:10:15 #134 Have a culture to like it?

00:10:24 #135 It's awful nice this time of day.

00:10:59 #136 Yes, Abe.

00:11:01 #137 Can I tell you a story?

00:11:03 #138 Of course, Abe.

00:11:05 #139 There was a town in Illinois called...

00:11:09 #140 New Salem?

00:11:11 #141 Yes, that's it.

00:11:13 #142 In that town lived the prettiest girl in the world.

00:11:17 #143 What was her name?

00:11:18 #144 Anne Rutledge.

00:11:20 #145 Abe.

00:11:24 #146 What I'd like to find out about that girl

00:11:26 #147 girl is that she did she ever take a little time off to think about getting

00:11:31 #148 married well maybe because there's a name blinking hanging around that's pretty

00:11:36 #149 good catch what's he like oh he's a big merchant owner of three stores all

00:11:43 #150 bankrupt well is he handsome well his father said that they've been cut out

00:11:51 #151 with the next politician to I hear.

00:11:56 #152 Got less property and owes more debts than anybody ever run

00:11:59 #153 with the legislature. Now you do all right when you get.

00:12:08 #154 Well there's something I'd like to start right now.

00:12:11 #155 I could finish it. You know and I.

00:12:16 #156 I've always done a lot of dream. And lately it seems when I

00:12:20 #157 a dream. Your face gets mixed up. Does it really. Tell me about.

00:12:34 #158 I feel as though I'm going to be seeing your face till the day I die. Of course I know that that

00:12:43 #159 would be pretty hard for you to have to look at my face that long. Everybody to their own

00:12:48 #160 opinion I think it's the dearest kindest most beautiful face in the whole world.

00:13:11 #161 Of course I know that's just flattery but I love it.

00:13:15 #162 You know I feel like little Jimmy Watkins he got a hunk of gingerbread the other day

00:13:20 #163 and says the guest is nobody loves gingerbread like I does and gets so little of it.

00:13:28 #164 Oh wave.

00:13:34 #165 Will you marry me?

00:13:37 #166 I mean, of course, when I get out of debt and can support you.

00:13:42 #167 Well, you know Abad intended to for a long while.

00:13:49 #168 That isn't... Of course, if you ask me.

00:13:54 #169 You... You mean?

00:13:58 #170 Yes, Abe. You've got...

00:14:03 #171 Oh, well, pretty bad.

00:14:40 #172 He's been asking for you.

00:14:42 #173 Same as soon as I could.

00:14:43 #174 I believe he put it back himself.

00:14:54 #175 I've got to tell you the truth, babe.

00:14:57 #176 It's hopeless.

00:15:01 #177 Perhaps by tomorrow.

00:15:04 #178 No longer.

00:15:05 #179 I'm so glad you came.

00:15:35 #180 Are you all right now?

00:15:37 #181 No, don't know that about me, dear.

00:15:39 #182 I'm all right now.

00:15:43 #183 I know the truth, dear.

00:15:47 #184 It's a good bye.

00:15:49 #185 No, no, dear.

00:15:52 #186 You're not going to leave me.

00:15:54 #187 I won't let you.

00:15:56 #188 We must be brave.

00:15:59 #189 Don't take me away.

00:16:08 #190 It's so dark and lonesome.

00:16:15 #191 You mustn't let go.

00:16:19 #192 They'd sing.

00:16:21 #193 I wouldn't be so afraid.

00:16:24 #194 We shall meet on that beautiful show.

00:16:38 #195 We will meet.

00:16:43 #196 Oh, I love you so.

00:16:46 #197 I love you.

00:17:24 #198 Getting any better, Bowen?

00:17:25 #199 No, not much.

00:17:27 #200 I'll tell you, Dr. He's just like a sick child.

00:17:31 #201 He was lost for five days before we found him.

00:17:33 #202 Yeah, I know.

00:17:35 #203 We took his pocket knife away from him.

00:17:37 #204 You're so feared something might happen.

00:17:41 #205 Well, good gracious Abe, you're looking better.

00:17:45 #206 Oh, you're trying to talk to him. He just came to answer.

00:17:59 #207 We could only think of something that would just bring him back.

00:18:25 #208 I guess time's the only thing.

00:18:31 #209 Why? Why should the spirit of mortal be crowned?

00:18:36 #210 Like a swift fleeting meteor, a fast-grinding crown.

00:18:40 #211 The flash of the lightning, break of the waves,

00:18:45 #212 the cast of lights, to the rest of the dream.

00:18:50 #213 My goodness, Mary, it's hard to think.

00:19:02 #214 He'll be here in a few minutes to catch the America,

00:19:06 #215 deep in the A-dunkins.

00:19:08 #216 Just think of being his wife.

00:19:11 #217 Don't be in such a hurry, sister.

00:19:13 #218 I'm not even engaged yet.

00:19:14 #219 Much less married.

00:19:16 #220 But if he should propose,

00:19:18 #221 How do I know he's going further than anyone else would bring to you?

00:19:22 #222 And I'd pick a husband, sister.

00:19:24 #223 I'll pick a man.

00:19:26 #224 But I don't know what you're talking about.

00:19:28 #225 A lot of people seem to think a man named, uh, Abraham Lincoln.

00:19:32 #226 He's going even further than Mr. Douglas.

00:19:34 #227 Well, I'm married. How have you gone crazy?

00:19:37 #228 You compare an unknown cornfield lawyer with a brilliant cultured gentleman like Stephen A. Douglas?

00:19:44 #229 Why, you just saw the two of them together.

00:19:46 #230 together. Mr. Douglas is down in the following is asking for Mary.

00:19:52 #231 Now Mary you must be very careful and remember now he doesn't like to have

00:19:55 #232 those two votes. And don't hurry me. I'll take care of myself.

00:20:29 #233 You might do the dance like this. Always the politician.

00:20:38 #234 Be a politician with so few constituents.

00:20:59 #235 The fair owner herself.

00:21:08 #236 May I look at it?

00:21:09 #237 Mr. Douglas, I wonder if you'd do me a great favor.

00:21:27 #238 Yes.

00:21:28 #239 And pray present me to this young lady.

00:21:36 #240 Mr. Todd?

00:21:37 #241 Yes.

00:21:38 #242 May I present one of the leading lawyers of Springfield, Mr. Abraham Lincoln?

00:21:45 #243 Mr. Lincoln.

00:21:55 #244 Miss Todd, I wonder if you'd honor me with the next dance.

00:22:04 #245 Why? Why?

00:22:07 #246 Be like.

00:22:11 #247 Miss Todd, you thought my face was funny and the way I dressed even funnier with the jokes on you.

00:22:20 #248 I don't understand.

00:22:23 #249 Well, you're dancing.

00:22:25 #250 I'm sorry.

00:22:55 #251 Did you get the license, Mr. Lincoln?

00:23:07 #252 Well, she got you.

00:23:08 #253 I knew she would when she started out the first time for you.

00:23:11 #254 Now, Billy, don't bother me.

00:23:12 #255 I'm going to be married and I'm scared to death.

00:23:15 #256 Oh, don't be alarmed.

00:23:16 #257 There's many a bite that's worse than a bride.

00:23:19 #258 But Billy, that woman scares me.

00:23:26 #259 She's even got the ridiculous idea

00:23:28 #260 that I could get to be president. Oh don't take that seriously. Every

00:23:32 #261 spunky girl thinks her husband ought to be president. I know Billy but it's a pity

00:23:36 #262 to fool her. And she's a fine woman. Smartest pepper and pretty too. She'll be

00:23:41 #263 a great help to you Mr. Lincoln but you've got to keep climbing with her.

00:23:48 #264 I've got the best supper you ever tasted and the cake.

00:23:54 #265 But you see that cake. What can have happened to Mr. Lincoln.

00:23:56 #266 It's long after the...

00:23:57 #267 He would be late at his own wedding.

00:24:00 #268 Now never mind Mary.

00:24:01 #269 If he doesn't come soon, I'll send John out.

00:24:04 #270 He's hours late already!

00:24:06 #271 Now think of that!

00:24:07 #272 No, sister!

00:24:08 #273 Calm yourself!

00:24:12 #274 For heaven's sake, you got to hurry!

00:24:15 #275 Hey Billy, you go ahead.

00:24:17 #276 You go on over and I'll come later.

00:24:20 #277 I doubt if there's a word in the dictionary

00:24:21 #278 that could tell how I feel.

00:24:23 #279 Say Billy, what does a man do with his heads all right

00:24:27 #280 but his legs are currently my curse to get drunk. My legs are too frightened to pay

00:24:32 #281 any attention to liquor. Well I'll go ahead and tell him that you're coming.

00:25:03 #282 But we can't find him. No I can't find him not at the office.

00:25:08 #283 Well he was in a terrible state when I left him he was so frightened and upset I

00:25:12 #284 imagine he just ran away. Runaway from me. On our wedding day. Now

00:25:18 #285 Don't piss me. Can you imagine?

00:25:21 #286 That's what Todd gets for engaging herself to a country that booze.

00:25:25 #287 Mary, dear, dear.

00:25:26 #288 Give me the log of home.

00:25:30 #289 I'm not going to be the wedding here.

00:25:32 #290 The log of home is our home.

00:25:34 #291 This is so distressing.

00:25:37 #292 It certainly are a matchmaker.

00:25:43 #293 To reconcile those two after what happened two years ago,

00:25:46 #294 will be all like Mr. Lincoln.

00:25:48 #295 And Mary is just the girl to push him along.

00:25:51 #296 Oh, Mary.

00:25:53 #297 Oh, sweet children.

00:25:54 #298 What a lovely dress.

00:25:55 #299 Yes, it's over. Come into her chair.

00:25:57 #300 Oh, it's your son.

00:25:58 #301 Maybe that's Mr. Lincoln now.

00:26:00 #302 You did all things strange.

00:26:02 #303 Can things end this way?

00:26:04 #304 Stuck to the shooting.

00:26:05 #305 If you and Mr. Lincoln will make a great man.

00:26:07 #306 Good morning, Mr. LeWall. Good morning.

00:26:11 #307 Good morning.

00:26:12 #308 Come, my dear, we leave the happy pair alone.

00:26:18 #309 Good morning, Mary.

00:26:23 #310 I, uh...

00:26:25 #311 I... Mary, you don't have to bother about me anymore.

00:26:33 #312 I think I've settled down at last.

00:26:36 #313 I hope I can make your future all you desire.

00:26:39 #314 We'll say no more about it, Mr. Lincoln.

00:26:42 #315 I rarely think after all you need me.

00:26:46 #316 You need a lot of patience to put up with me, Mary.

00:26:51 #317 But if anyone can do it, I'm sure you're the one.

00:26:56 #318 I'm in.

00:26:58 #319 Try speaking with this way to know...

00:27:37 #320 ...the whole of him on slavery.

00:27:39 #321 You're crazy.

00:27:40 #322 Hey, think about it.

00:27:41 #323 No more chants of these other percentage...

00:27:43 #324 ...that I have.

00:27:44 #325 Why, you're only...

00:27:45 #326 ...what the school brings about.

00:27:50 #327 There must be no issue of slavery.

00:27:54 #328 We must face the fact that...

00:28:08 #329 issue of slavery. We must take the fact that Mr. Lincoln, out of this campaign, I will

00:28:33 #330 not throw much. Let each state mind its own business and this republic can exist forever,

00:28:50 #331 divided into free and slave states.

00:28:55 #332 We will not allow the extension of slavery to any state.

00:29:10 #333 We will not allow this recession of any state.

00:29:16 #334 Above all, and before all, the Union must be preserved

00:29:26 #335 divided against itself, must fall.

00:29:36 #336 Mary, I'm home, Mary.

00:30:24 #337 You must be tired.

00:30:32 #338 Sit down.

00:30:36 #339 You just sit right here.

00:30:49 #340 I'll get your supper for you in a minute.

00:30:52 #341 Billy, I feel like the little boy that stubbed his toe,

00:31:09 #342 hurt too bad to laugh and he was too big to cry.

00:31:12 #343 50 years old, Billy, failure and everything.

00:31:17 #344 I've died the day nobody ever knew I'd live.

00:31:20 #345 Come in.

00:31:24 #346 Mr. Lincoln, I want you to meet Mr. Fell,

00:31:31 #347 one of the most important men in the eastern politics.

00:31:35 #348 I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. Fell.

00:31:36 #349 I'm honored indeed, Mr. Lincoln.

00:31:37 #350 Meet my partner, Mr. Herndon.

00:31:38 #351 Oh, how do you do, Mr. Herndon?

00:31:39 #352 Happy to meet you, sir.

00:31:41 #353 Would you sit down, gentlemen?

00:31:42 #354 Thank you.

00:31:44 #355 Mr. Lincoln, your campaign against Douglas has made you a national figure.

00:31:49 #356 I am here to ask you if you will consider being the Republican Party's candidate for the presidency.

00:31:55 #357 Did you say a failure in everything?

00:32:04 #358 A telegram field, Mr. Fell.

00:32:10 #359 Oh, thank you.

00:32:11 #360 Mr Lincoln, you know ever since John Brown's slave,

00:32:20 #361 the fault has been impuregated.

00:32:22 #362 The East on the verge of revolt.

00:32:24 #363 And now, New York threatens to quit the union.

00:32:26 #364 No, no, New York mustn't do that.

00:32:28 #365 They must keep the front door on the hinge.

00:32:30 #366 There can be no succession.

00:32:32 #367 The union must be preserved.

00:32:37 #368 The crisis is at hand, Mr Lincoln.

00:32:39 #369 And we believe you are the man.

00:32:42 #370 Well, gentlemen, I...

00:32:49 #371 I feel deeply grateful.

00:32:51 #372 Great. If you don't come on home you won't get no supper.

00:32:57 #373 See Mr. Fair I have another crisis.

00:33:00 #374 The soup in the country are boiling over together.

00:33:02 #375 More boiling to.

00:33:07 #376 Needs deep consideration.

00:33:10 #377 Well Mr. Lincoln.

00:33:12 #378 Maybe we meet you at our hotel.

00:33:16 #379 I'll be there within the hour.

00:33:39 #380 They've started it.

00:33:41 #381 This is going to mean war.

00:33:42 #382 This doggie saw it himself.

00:33:44 #383 Jerome Brown and a gang of abolitionists

00:33:46 #384 have captured the army at Harpers Ferry.

00:33:49 #385 The armed and the slaves to rise up and murder us all.

00:33:52 #386 Yoppe, they give us all right.

00:33:54 #387 And what do you do with yours?

00:33:56 #388 What I do, I'll throw to Dan.

00:33:59 #389 Now, they see you trip.

00:34:02 #390 They can't invade Virginia?

00:34:03 #391 No.

00:34:05 #392 Boys, go home and get your guns.

00:34:07 #393 What's all this talk about guns?

00:34:09 #394 This thing has gone far enough.

00:34:10 #395 We'll be murdered in our bed by our own slaves.

00:34:13 #396 Pardon me, ladies. It's what I find out about this.

00:34:15 #397 Yes, Your Majesty.

00:34:16 #398 Don't run, eh?

00:34:17 #399 Abolitionist!

00:34:19 #400 You can out-read!

00:34:20 #401 Out-read isn't for words.

00:34:23 #402 I'll shoot on sight.

00:34:25 #403 Every abolitionist who dares defile the soil of Old Virginia.

00:34:30 #404 Who's he?

00:34:31 #405 That's the actor, John Wilkes-Boo.

00:34:33 #406 Can't act as the women don't know it.

00:34:35 #407 All right, men.

00:34:37 #408 Get your guns, and we'll meet at the square.

00:34:40 #409 That's the way!

00:35:13 #410 Can't say much for her disposition.

00:35:16 #411 Soldiers indeed, they can't even carry crumb.

00:35:19 #412 Here you know the stupid looking one, put that over there,

00:35:22 #413 and you idiot!

00:35:24 #414 Good heavens don't look at me like a dust in a thunderstorm!

00:35:28 #415 Hurray!

00:35:29 #416 I never saw such a lot of incompetence.

00:35:32 #417 And as for you and the Hipskis, I told you to put it in there.

00:35:37 #418 Oh, he's going to take forever.

00:35:39 #419 And heaven, that's the land.

00:35:45 #420 In the field.

00:35:47 #421 Well, Mary, we're here.

00:35:48 #422 Thanks to me. It wasn't for my advice.

00:35:50 #423 You'd be out in Oregon chopping trees.

00:35:52 #424 Yes, you're always right, Mary.

00:35:55 #425 Well, I found out one thing, Abraham Lincoln.

00:36:03 #426 Servants here are no better than they are in Springfield.

00:36:06 #427 This place hasn't been cleaned in over a year.

00:36:11 #428 Why, Mr. President?

00:36:15 #429 Then we agree that the situation of our country is most honest.

00:36:29 #430 Most alarming.

00:36:31 #431 We agree that we must yield to the demands of the South

00:36:35 #432 and evacuate for something.

00:36:39 #433 It's the only solution that must be done.

00:36:42 #434 We agree that our President must be firmly guided by us.

00:36:48 #435 We must make every effort to control his inexperienced judgment.

00:36:54 #436 We certainly must. Yes.

00:36:57 #437 Gentlemen.

00:37:04 #438 President.

00:37:05 #439 Good morning, President.

00:37:07 #440 Thank you, hey.

00:37:08 #441 Thank you, gentlemen.

00:37:46 #442 I will shoulder all responsibility.

00:37:50 #443 You will lead.

00:37:52 #444 Shall go to Fort Sumter.

00:37:54 #445 That means war.

00:37:59 #446 Mr. Seward, I am a man of peace, but the Union shall be preserved.

00:38:08 #447 75,000.

00:38:36 #448 It might be difficult to get that many volunteers.

00:38:40 #449 The patient building the boat and started swimming.

00:41:42 #450 Well, sir, what happened?

00:41:45 #451 He drowned.

00:41:47 #452 And gentlemen, we've got to be careful not to drown this country.

00:41:51 #453 One more to go.

00:42:05 #454 Ready here. Ready here.

00:42:07 #455 How did you make out?

00:42:15 #456 Make out he's done they kissed me. Oh secretary of war see boys. We're just looking at our autumn ball along the line

00:42:23 #457 Who's next I am I hope it's from the president like to see his face when he hears the good news

00:42:33 #458 Well general Scott what news we're winning sir sort of it. Oh, I I wish you come in

00:42:54 #459 Rebel resistance broken at Bull Run.

00:43:05 #460 Our army sweeping everything before it.

00:43:09 #461 Mr. President.

00:43:12 #462 If we can capture Richmond now, it means the end of the war.

00:43:16 #463 Oh, thank God. And you, sir, this victory will silence your enemies forever.

00:43:23 #464 And you will be the greatest president in our history.

00:43:27 #465 Well, it doesn't matter what they think of me, General.

00:43:31 #466 We will have saved the Union.

00:43:33 #467 Yes.

00:43:34 #468 General, would you mind letting me have that telegram?

00:43:39 #469 I'd like to show it to Mrs. Lincoln myself.

00:43:41 #470 Why, certainly not, Mr. President.

00:43:44 #471 And would you mind not calling me Mr. President?

00:43:49 #472 Just Lincoln.

00:43:51 #473 All right, Lincoln.

00:44:01 #474 Any hair?

00:44:02 #475 Headquarter.

00:44:03 #476 All messages for General Scott Holt.

00:44:09 #477 Stand, stand!

00:44:11 #478 Come on, go!

00:44:12 #479 Ready here?

00:44:19 #480 What if I did it?

00:44:20 #481 Bad news?

00:44:21 #482 Yes, sir.

00:44:22 #483 Give it to me.

00:44:23 #484 Well, General, what news now?

00:44:35 #485 I'm very first support.

00:44:39 #486 Overconfidence.

00:44:43 #487 Yes, I should have known.

00:44:48 #488 It's impossible to reform lines.

00:45:01 #489 The men are a confused mob.

00:45:03 #490 mob. And I really want to make you must make every

00:45:08 #491 a port to save Washington. Reserves are gathering so many

00:46:22 #492 regulars can we must have about five thousand volunteers

00:46:26 #493 don't have and we hold Washington we do our best

00:46:37 #494 to get the truth we have to get out of Washington very serious

00:46:41 #495 matter but haven't picked what sort of an army have we

00:46:43 #496 anyhow did the best they could make it they might have considered

00:46:46 #497 It'll take forever to get those trunks packed.

00:46:48 #498 I'm sorry, madam. For all of us.

00:46:51 #499 Well, Miss Lincoln, I hear we're leaving.

00:46:59 #500 Just a moment, Mary, please.

00:47:01 #501 Well, after all the trouble we had getting here,

00:47:04 #502 I must say we had a very short stay.

00:47:07 #503 Mary, I've hung up my hat right here, please,

00:47:13 #504 till they knock it off with a bandit.

00:47:15 #505 From now on, Mary, I'm going to run this war.

00:47:21 #506 Counsel for the accused.

00:47:50 #507 Have you anything further to say in the pen for the prisoner?

00:47:53 #508 No, sir.

00:47:55 #509 The court finds you guilty.

00:47:57 #510 And the sentence?

00:47:59 #511 Yes.

00:48:00 #512 Just a minute.

00:48:06 #513 The president.

00:48:07 #514 Pet John.

00:48:08 #515 I must pardon me, gentlemen, for this inclusion.

00:48:17 #516 I overheard one of our soldiers' sentence to death.

00:48:22 #517 Yes, Mr. President.

00:48:24 #518 A bad example of cowardice and desertion.

00:48:27 #519 A young man?

00:48:30 #520 Tell me about it.

00:48:32 #521 I think the findings of the cork were just

00:48:39 #522 That all you have to say

00:48:43 #523 Well, sir

00:48:44 #524 It was our first big battle

00:48:47 #525 We were trying to take a stone wall

00:48:50 #526 We've been trying it seems for years go on

00:48:54 #527 Finally though we got there I

00:48:57 #528 Was fighting

00:48:59 #529 Ban it

00:49:00 #530 We were all crazy

00:49:02 #531 No top of the wall

00:49:04 #532 Yes. There was my boy who had shown.

00:49:09 #533 Looking up at me from the ground.

00:49:12 #534 No no sir. Not alive.

00:49:16 #535 We had killed him a long time ago.

00:49:19 #536 But I knew him.

00:49:21 #537 And then?

00:49:23 #538 I guess I went really crazy sir.

00:49:27 #539 That's all.

00:49:30 #540 Your captain reports that you threw your rifle away.

00:49:33 #541 Yes sir. That must be right sir.

00:49:36 #542 Making excuses Colton. No sir only

00:49:40 #543 Don't get it over with quick

00:49:46 #544 hanging

00:49:49 #545 Killing blood

00:49:54 #546 And tired my generals are right. You must maintain discipline

00:50:12 #547 That's all

00:50:17 #548 Wait a minute

00:50:20 #549 Bring that young man back. I have it

00:50:27 #550 It's a leg case. I beg your pardon sir a

00:50:30 #551 A leg case. Yes, yes, my shelves are full of them.

00:50:35 #552 But not quite like this one.

00:50:37 #553 If the Lord Almighty gives the man a cowardly pair of legs,

00:50:43 #554 and that man gets frightened,

00:50:45 #555 he can't help his legs running away with him, can he?

00:50:53 #556 And man, I am going to pardon you.

00:50:55 #557 Well, back and do your duties.

00:51:01 #558 Oh, I will, sir.

00:51:03 #559 I will.

00:51:05 #560 I'm trusting you.

00:51:07 #561 Don't, Senator.

00:51:13 #562 Mr. President,

00:51:15 #563 my state of New York is crying out against this endless slumber.

00:51:19 #564 And mine, sir.

00:51:21 #565 Holding services here today, sir.

00:51:27 #566 For those who are sacrificed,

00:51:30 #567 as they are everywhere.

00:51:32 #568 Not the east, to the west, sir.

00:51:34 #569 It can't go on, sir.

00:51:38 #570 New England. The west.

00:51:40 #571 The entire country.

00:51:42 #572 are in mourning for this useless waste of lives.

00:51:46 #573 Let the southern states go their way, Mr. President,

00:51:52 #574 and we will go ours.

00:51:53 #575 What I tell you, Mr. President...

00:51:55 #576 Daddy?

00:52:07 #577 Mother won't let me stay out.

00:52:09 #578 She wants me to go out and stay out.

00:52:11 #579 I don't want her to.

00:52:12 #580 Now don't you think it's time for little boys to be in bed, Dad?

00:52:15 #581 But I want to stay out with you.

00:52:17 #582 But your mother?

00:52:18 #583 If you think so, she can't make me.

00:52:21 #584 You're the president.

00:52:23 #585 I suppose you're the only person in the country who thinks I should have any authority.

00:52:29 #586 No, I want to stay with you.

00:52:38 #587 Can I, Daddy?

00:52:40 #588 We're very busy here now, Dad.

00:52:43 #589 I'm alone.

00:52:45 #590 Good night.

00:52:52 #591 Gentlemen, don't you suppose my heart bleeds for all the sorrow this war has gone upon us?

00:53:10 #592 Do you suppose there is a human being who wants peace more than I do?

00:53:16 #593 But we want lasting peace.

00:53:19 #594 And we can have that only by preserving the Union.

00:53:24 #595 And gentlemen, the Union is going to be preserved.

00:53:38 #596 And by virtue of the power and for the purpose of poor said,

00:53:48 #597 I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated states and parts of states

00:53:57 #598 Are henceforward and forever shall be

00:54:00 #599 free

00:54:23 #600 All bad news there I'm afraid there is well

00:54:42 #601 Let's have it the Secret Service reports that there are 600,000 copperheads in the north under open dorms to get me. Yes

00:54:49 #602 Well, that money ought to keep me dodging.

00:54:51 #603 We're taking every precaution to guard you.

00:54:54 #604 Where are they mostly?

00:54:57 #605 Ohio has 100,000 armed men ready to rise up and depose you.

00:55:01 #606 Illinois, 135,000.

00:55:03 #607 Illinois.

00:55:05 #608 My old stamping ground.

00:55:08 #609 That makes me feel badly.

00:55:12 #610 You mustn't tell Mary.

00:55:14 #611 Mr. President, we are worried about you.

00:55:18 #612 Don't mind me. Go on to bed. You're tired.

00:55:22 #613 Mr. Lincoln, come on to bed.

00:55:50 #614 I'm worried, Mary.

00:55:53 #615 You can't be in this war worrying and walking around your sock and feet.

00:55:57 #616 I can't sleep.

00:55:59 #617 Neither can I. At least we could sleep in Springfield, couldn't we?

00:56:05 #618 Did we ever sleep?

00:56:09 #619 Sleep. Now stand still. I've got it Mary. I found the man to win this war and his name is Grant.

00:56:51 #620 I'm sorry Mr. President. Smoking is one of my most persistent habits. And winning victories is another.

00:57:07 #621 another. Thank you. And you do believe in me. I sent for you. General. The North is desperate.

00:57:27 #622 We need you. Should I assume command? There would be no interference. None. I promise you

00:57:41 #623 that. Grant. Lieutenant General is the highest Army command the president can bestow. You

00:57:52 #624 I haven't had one since General Washington.

00:57:56 #625 He was a fair sort of a soldier too.

00:58:00 #626 Lieutenant General Grant, my orders are win the war.

00:58:08 #627 I'll give my best, Mr. President.

00:58:12 #628 I know you will.

00:58:15 #629 Unfortunately, many of us have failed to recognize

00:58:19 #630 a great Confederate soldier.

00:58:22 #631 Me.

00:58:25 #632 On the other hand, we have thus far failed to take advantage of a great northern soldier.

00:58:32 #633 I hope I'm not too late in collecting the error.

00:58:36 #634 Well, Mr. President, I think it only fair to warn you.

00:58:42 #635 Many people don't approve of me.

00:58:44 #636 Not of me. But rest assured, there will be no interference, no inclusion.

00:58:55 #637 My wife.

00:59:03 #638 All right, Mary.

00:59:05 #639 Land safe. Where did all the smoke come from?

00:59:13 #640 Mary, meet General Grant.

00:59:15 #641 Mrs. Lincoln.

00:59:17 #642 Pleasure indeed to meet the First Lady of the Land.

00:59:20 #643 Thank you.

00:59:21 #644 I want to talk to you, Miss Lincoln.

00:59:23 #645 But, Mary...

00:59:24 #646 I want to talk to you about discharging some of the service in this house.

00:59:27 #647 You're here with all this smoke.

00:59:29 #648 Why don't you open the window?

00:59:34 #649 I can't stand it.

00:59:36 #650 I'll have to talk to you later.

00:59:38 #651 I'm very sorry, Mike.

00:59:40 #652 There, there, General. No apologies.

00:59:44 #653 You've given me an idea.

00:59:47 #654 I may take up smoking myself.

00:59:50 #655 But to resume, General,

00:59:53 #656 we will give you all the help you need.

00:59:59 #657 Every man capable of bearing arms shall go.

01:00:04 #658 We've got to win this war.

01:00:11 #659 It is a duty we owe the self as well as the north.

01:00:16 #660 The big job, Mr. President.

01:00:19 #661 The big job.

01:00:20 #662 But I will be done.

01:00:28 #663 I will be done.

01:00:36 #664 We're in a tight place now.

01:00:38 #665 Yes, we generally are, Stanton.

01:00:40 #666 Everything depends upon Sharon.

01:00:43 #667 He's a fighting Irishman.

01:00:44 #668 Then why doesn't he fight?

01:00:46 #669 One division, Sharon's army, routed.

01:00:56 #670 Now trying to hold left flank.

01:01:00 #671 Ah, the blood it takes to hold this union together.

01:01:06 #672 It will undo everything Grant has done.

01:01:09 #673 It's hopeless.

01:01:12 #674 I don't think so.

01:01:15 #675 Before each victory, I've had a vision of a ship with white sails.

01:01:19 #676 That vision has just come to me.

01:01:24 #677 With all respect, sir, I'd rather trade your ship for good news from Sheridan.

01:01:30 #678 Is that General Sheridan in there?

01:01:38 #679 Sure, it is General Sheridan.

01:01:40 #680 Doesn't that sound like cannon fire?

01:01:54 #681 I don't hear anything, sir.

01:01:59 #682 Hey, come here.

01:02:20 #683 Have you good ears?

01:02:24 #684 Pretty good, one that wars.

01:02:26 #685 Well, then try them.

01:02:29 #686 Do you hear anything like cannon fire?

01:02:31 #687 It's cannon all right.

01:02:38 #688 Over to the swamp.

01:02:40 #689 The mayor caught General Ryan by surprise.

01:02:42 #690 Martha Sorses!

01:02:55 #691 Sheridan's entire army has met an over-filming defeat.

01:03:03 #692 Incredible.

01:03:06 #693 And no word from Sheridan.

01:03:09 #694 I'm afraid he was away.

01:03:14 #695 It means the defeat of all our plans.

01:03:17 #696 Yes, but we'll have to withdraw a grant from Richmond to protect Washington.

01:07:00 #697 And won an over-filming victory!

01:07:02 #698 I knew it prisoners. I hope there's nothing but prisoners from now on the ship

01:07:34 #699 Stand here is Mr. President

01:07:39 #700 And share it I'd rather die a thousand deaths than do that to them

01:08:52 #701 They're that general you must lie down and rest

01:09:01 #702 That's a beautiful world. They've caught a spy and they want the order for his execution approved, sir

01:09:46 #703 Colonel Mars, who was that?

01:10:08 #704 Only a courier, sir.

01:10:10 #705 What did he want?

01:10:11 #706 They've caught a spy.

01:10:12 #707 I approve the execution order, sir.

01:10:14 #708 Colonel, the only reason for shooting a spy is the protection of an army, isn't it?

01:10:21 #709 Yes, sir.

01:10:23 #710 Well, you and I know that this army can't exist much longer. Isn't that right?

01:10:34 #711 Yes, sir.

01:10:36 #712 That is why I am unwilling that there will be a single life lost unnecessarily.

01:10:42 #713 True.

01:10:47 #714 I wonder if you'd mind...

01:10:49 #715 ...contamanding that order.

01:10:51 #716 I will, yes, sir.

01:10:54 #717 Are you tired, Brad?

01:11:35 #718 Not much.

01:11:56 #719 Mr. President, we have them.

01:11:59 #720 It can only last a few days more.

01:12:03 #721 General Sherman and I are glad of this chance to talk with you.

01:12:07 #722 The Union. We've saved it at last.

01:12:11 #723 It must surrender soon.

01:12:14 #724 The Union.

01:12:16 #725 We'll have them all back.

01:12:19 #726 United, free. One country.

01:12:23 #727 And meanwhile, Mr. President,

01:12:26 #728 I've heard the country wishes all rebel property confiscated.

01:12:31 #729 And the rebel generals, such as Lee,

01:12:34 #730 shot for treason. He's put up a grand battle.

01:12:38 #731 And they've robbed the cradle and the graves.

01:12:44 #732 General Lee is fighting with his last breath.

01:12:47 #733 Shoot Robert E. Lee?

01:12:52 #734 Someone will have to shoot Abraham Lincoln first.

01:12:55 #735 They're rebels, not traitors.

01:12:59 #736 And they're horses and baggers, sir?

01:13:03 #737 They'll need them for the spring plowing.

01:13:06 #738 Let them keep them and get to work.

01:13:09 #739 Very good, sir.

01:13:11 #740 Oh, just one thing more, Mr. President.

01:13:14 #741 The head of the rebel government, Jefferson Davis.

01:13:19 #742 Jefferson Davis.

01:13:23 #743 And do you wish to capture?

01:13:25 #744 Well, that reminds me of a story.

01:13:30 #745 We had a terrible drunkard once in Springfield.

01:13:36 #746 Finally he signed the pledge.

01:13:38 #747 The next day he got thirsty and went to a bar.

01:13:42 #748 bar in order to lemonade. The bartender was fixing it the old drunk got sadder and

01:13:49 #749 sadder. Finally he leaned over and said to the bartender Mike while you're fixing

01:13:57 #750 that couldn't you put a nicer to shot a whiskey in it unbeknownst to me. Well sir

01:14:03 #751 couldn't you sort of let Jeff Davis escape unbeknownst to yourself.

01:14:11 #752 We'll do our part, sir.

01:14:13 #753 We're going to take them back as though they'd never been away.

01:14:20 #754 Lincoln. He freed the Negroes.

01:14:35 #755 He suppressed the right of trial by jury.

01:14:40 #756 He muddled the press.

01:14:45 #757 Now, with the aid of his bayonets,

01:14:53 #758 his army and his Negroes,

01:14:55 #759 he'll make himself king of America.

01:14:57 #760 Lincoln, I drink to him.

01:15:07 #761 And his damnation!

01:15:12 #762 Right. Your honor,

01:15:20 #763 You're right. For my part. Go on. You're among friends. The man who kills Abraham Lincoln.

01:15:38 #764 Will be unimmortal. Now listen, my plan.

01:15:52 #765 You'll mind my smoking, Mrs. Wheaton?

01:16:06 #766 No, not much.

01:16:09 #767 I don't know how glad we all are that you're really elected, Mr. President.

01:16:14 #768 I'm sure this lady will be glad to spend four more years in the White House.

01:16:17 #769 House glad I'm just hired to new maids Abraham Lincoln you have a learn to keep

01:16:24 #770 your feet in shoes. Oh by the way this is Lincoln have you met General Grant I met

01:16:32 #771 him because a week to get the smoke out of the curtain. One human being who has

01:16:40 #772 falls. Party of prohibitionist called on me the other day and complained about

01:16:45 #773 a drink. I told them they could find out what brand he uses I'd send

01:16:50 #774 barrels of it to my other. Two new made we're going to be here for more years.

01:17:07 #775 Now Mr Lincoln don't you go thinking about any of those dreams again you live

01:17:11 #776 to a hundred and after we said everything right over here we'll travel around the

01:17:16 #777 world and have a nice long. You're not going. Why

01:17:26 #778 Of course not. You can depend on Mother Serrat. And everything straight with me.

01:17:35 #779 I said I'd go through with it and I will. Tonight will be remembered throughout

01:17:41 #780 the ages. I play my best. How much better.

01:17:55 #781 A dagger would. Cash us used to. But this is safe. Again I.

01:18:57 #782 I say, with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right.

01:19:14 #783 We shall bind up the nation's wounds and cherish peace.

01:19:18 #784 Jesus, that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

01:19:39 #785 Thank you. God bless you all.

01:19:45 #786 Mr. Lincoln, I'm just proud of you.

01:20:07 #787 Here, peanuts. Hold my horse for me, will you?

01:20:09 #788 Yes, sir.

01:20:14 #789 Will you be long, sir?

01:20:18 #790 No, not very long.

01:20:20 #791 Bring me your hat.

01:20:28 #792 I didn't drop.

01:20:29 #793 I'm afraid you must be mistaken.

01:20:32 #794 Mr Lincoln has just stopped the drop.

01:20:37 #795 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:20:44 #796 In my office.

01:21:04 #797 I would be too if it wasn't for that turtle servant

01:21:07 #798 with brass buttons on his coat.

01:21:10 #799 Come, stop, please.

01:21:26 #800 There needs to be some more luck.

01:21:34 #801 We'll lie down and do the work.
