"And how exactly will you be the stronger for it?" "Compromise is always the answer." "It will never be the perfect world that either side dreams of." "Once everyone accepts that" "Just leave it be, Mother." "Emancipation is inevitable." "You must accept that." "And what then?" "Tell me that, Jed."

"Well, I never mean to distress you, now-- not you or this family." "Please, don't apologize." "Who was he?" "I mean, I am curious." "Nobody, just a-a man I knew once." "What man?" "Nothing, Mother, we were just" "What man are you talking about?" "You, uh..." "remember the Allerton family over on the other side of town?" "Yes." "They used to live down the street." "The babies used to play together." "You remember their man, George?" "George." "No." "No, I don't." "He was a slave they had, even before you and me come up North, Miss Jane." "Hmm." "And after a time, him and me, we... we got a hankering for each other." "You and this man?" "And George asked Master Allerton if we could get married, and Master said no." "He said the babies would be Green property and what good that is to him." "He tried to marry George off to one of his gals, but George never would." "Well, me and George, well, we just... never did." "But every Tuesday and sometimes on Fridays... he goes to market, and that's when I see him." "Find out how he is and what he been doing." "And it's been that way for over 20 years now." "So, that's who that man is." "George." "I got to get the supper out now." "James:" "What of our agreement?" "Lord Edward:" "We'll have to discuss it another time." "Another time, when?" "Oh, once there's a truce, I suppose." "Without your country's recognition, sir, there will be no truce."

"My visit here has been declaimed as in violation of both my queen and your president's proclamation" "He is not my goddamn president!" "Please, sit." "I'll get the claret out." "You" " You must not bend with every breeze." "I do not bend, sir." "Load the carriage." "Thank you all for your hospitality." "I apologize for my rushed departure." "Lincoln's calling Sharpsburg a Union victory." "Told his cabinet it's a sign from God the slaves must be free." "Now we are one thing and one thing only-- slavers." "No amount of diplomacy will overcome that." "With Sharpsburg ringing in our ears now, we need a victory." "The items you secured, I gather, could be vital to delivering a..." "Southern surprise-- one that even Lincoln won't be able to turn around on us." "I've amassed 11 Gatling guns, sir." "I'm happy to show them to you, but first, I must ask..." "I want your word, Mr. Hankerson, that the Greens must never again have to convince the Loyalists that we did not capitulate." "That lie must be expunged and the truth of our commitment made widely known." "Of course." "You have my word." "I'll take you to the warehouse tonight as soon as night falls." "And when these guns get put to good use, the Yanks won't know what hit 'em." "[Pinkerton imitates clucking]" "I hear you fancy poultry." "And that you have a story to tell about a friend named Jimmy Green." "We seen something" " Don't!" "Don't tell him." "We ain't looking for trouble." "Where are you boys from?" "Here." "My people have worked for the Greens for years." "You?" "!" "I come from a plantation in Maryland." "My missus bring me here." "I saw a chance to run, so I took it." "And got a job moving furnitures." "All this time to finally get free only to end up in a place like this." "Jimmy Green was gonna kill us." "But he let us go." "Will Jimmy Green save you now?" "What did you see?" "Weapons, sir." "That warehouse full of guns like I never seen." "Say what they want of Sharpsburg, this war is far from over." "So you made this contraption?" "Fastened the hinges to the ankle so you can walk and sit more naturally." "I thought you were the doctor, Jed." "There you are." "Go on, Ez." "Try it out." "You know, they offered me a peg leg." "I wasn't interested." "This is better." "You said yourself you haven't been able to do the things you wanted to help run this place." "Try, Son." "Ooh." "Feels pretty good." "Wonderful, Ez." "Oh." "Never wanted this." "If you hadn't chopped off my damn leg" "There was no option." "I told you." "Miss Foster?" "!" "[Panting] Sorry to trouble you again." "Can we borrow him?" "Borrow him?" "What for?" "Hold her down." "Hold her down!" "Face is plethoric." "Extremities are swollen." "She said she was having headaches, seeing spots." "All right now." "Easy, easy." "The shaking's letting up." "Dr. Foster." "Cervix is dilated." "And her bag of waters is bulging." "What's happening here?" "Is she sick?" "She has a condition called eclampsia." "Eclampsia?" "We need to deliver the child." "Appreciate the help, Pastor." "Makes me feel useful doing something with my hands." "How's your search progressing?" "There's a reverend over in the Bottoms who might help me." "I hope to see him soon." "I never said I was sorry for what happened." "If I'm in any way responsible for derailing you" "I never said that was your fault." "Your eyes say it every time you look at me." "I keep asking myself what choice did you have." "He would have shot us both." "Is that what God wanted?" "I have no idea what God wants." "Then why stay here?" "What's your purpose now?" "Not to stroll on King Street debating with you." "She must be almost here by now." "Who must?" "Why are we here?" "[Chuckling]" "I thought you may not come." "Oh, nothing gonna keep me away no more." "Whatever God may want of you, he wants them to be married." "I brung you this." "Picked it out special." "Who can argue with that?" "[Laughing]" "[Groaning]" "Baby's positioned wrong." "It won't come out like that." "It's a breech?" "No." "Prow presentation, page 53." "We'll need a fillet to redirect it." "Can you make one of those?" "I need some leather and a piece of wood." "You ever delivered a baby before?" "Yes, sir." "I figured." "You do it." "Gentle now." "You're getting there." "The occiput is now anterior." "Is-- is that a good thing?" "I can feel it coming." "Push now, Julia!" "Your baby's head is crowning!" "[Screaming]" "Reduce the perineum." "Deliver the chin." "Rotate... the shoulders." "Lord, make it stop!" "Oh, make it stop!" "There!" "[Panting]" "It's a girl." "Baby." "Hold that baby close." "It best for the both of you." "That baby ain't breathing right." "Meconium in the oropharynx." "I did the fillet." "You do the sucking." "A touch of tartar emetic." "Ah." "Ooh." "Some Epsom salts." "[Chuckles]" "Ah." "A splash of sulphate of soda." "Sulphate-- ain't that for horses?" "Come to think of it, yes." "No, no." "[Heaving] Doctor." "[Knock on door]" "Come in." "Your daily emetic, sir." "Ah." "Thank you." "Put it down there." "Drink it soon, sir." "It works better that way." "Chicken guts." "What do you want with chicken guts?" "They're required for a function... having to do with Major McBurney." "I'll need an empty bucket, too." "[Spits]" "[Baby cries]" "[Laughs]" "My baby." "My baby's alive." "Woman:" "Take her to breast." "No one told me she was with child." "No matter-- couple weeks, maybe a month, she'll be salable again." "The baby?" "No one wants a child right now with these cries for emancipation." "But a breeder will fetch a price." "Sell a mother away from her baby?" "It's a business, Jed." "I don't know when you stopped understanding that." "Don't you see what's happening, Mother?" "This-- all of this is over." "Not yet, it isn't." "Samuel:" "What about the father?" "Doesn't he have something to say about it?" "Ez?" "[Baby cries]" "This is your grandchild?" "At least he stayed." "How much?" "For the both of them-- mother and child?" "I'll buy them from you." "$2,000." "That's high, but I'll do it." "This won't cover it, but I figure my credit is good." "Bring that money up to the house." "Good morning, dear Jane." "I have something terribly urgent to ta" "How long have we known each other?" "Well..." "Why, our whole lives." "Our whole lives." "Yes." "What's the matter?" "The matter is that you have made my daughter into someone I hardly recognize." "Please, we can't discuss this now." "Do you know how betrayed I feel, Olivia, to have my child taken from me like this?" "Taken from you?" "Taken?" "I lost a husband and a son to this war." "Who have you lost?" "You of all people have given up almost nothing." "After Tom died... all I wanted was to do something so it wouldn't feel like good boys, good boys, like Tom, dying in vain." "I empathize, I do." "But this extremism you engage in is" "There is no time to argue." "I have pressing information for your family." "Send for James." "There you are, Julia." "Let's get you to medical school." "Sustenance for the road." "What you're doing... is a good thing." "And you?" "Why stay?" "Don't know what the world has out there for me." "But I'm starting to figure it's time I go find out." "Pleasure meeting you." "You know... those men with guns hunting foxes... they weren't hunting foxes." "They were searching for runaways." "Making sure niggers stay where they belong." "You take care of yourself now, Master Jed." "I'm not so sure sometimes about this medical-school idea." "Working at the hospital, working for you, has made me see things differently." "I have a purpose there." "And I've changed from who I was before." "I think you know what I mean." "You've changed, too." "There's a train station a few miles up the road." "Drop me off there." "McBurney:" "This, too, shall pass." "Ought you to lie down, Major?" "No, no." "I just" " I need..." "I need some sort of vessel." "Oh, right away, sir." "I'll just put it here, sir." "Go, leave me." "[Retching]" "[Screams]" "Open up, sir." "Aaaah." "[Muttering indistinctly]" "Pardon?" "I threw up my entrails." "Can a man live without his guts?" "Plenty of men do, sir." "[Mutters]" "He seems fine." "It's very strange." "Fetch the bucket, Nurse Hastings." "Let's see the discharge, shall we?" "Major?" "What's happened?" "Where are my intestines?" "Ooh!" "I mean, I saw them." "They were right there." "T-That thing was full of blood and guts, man!" "Aah!" "Boots stink, clothes itch, buttons don't shine." "There, there, now." "I'm losing track of official matters, and my insides are coming out through my mouth and disappearing into the vapor." "Do I have some sort of demon inside" "Major, listen to me now." "Calm down." "Now, during my exam studies-- for which I have you to thank, sir, deeply" "I read that certain strange conditions can be the result of an odd interaction between the mind, what the Greeks call a "Psyche, " and the body." "What the Greeks call "somatikos."" "Precisely, Nurse Hastings." "So, "somatikos."" "Psyche..." "All:...somatikos." "There may be something to that, sir, don't you think?" "A notion to ponder." "Hey, can I have a drink off that?" "Get your own." "[Groans]" "Where's my damn flask?" "I ain't seen it." "The hell you ain't." "The hell I did." "I'm no liquor swindler, you mangy dog."
