Dan Scott: You just gonna stand there!? Why don’t you read it for us?
Occam: I can’t read.
Dan Scott: I can. … It says: “Take notice, by order of General George Washington and the Continental Congress, all bound slaves who give minimum one year of service in the Continental Army will be granted freedom and be paid a bounty of 5 shillings for each month of service”. Did you hear that? First they’re gonna free them and then they’re gonna pay them!
Occam: Only another six months…
Dan Scott: What are you gonna do with freedom?…
Billings: I made this for you. … Martha… Look after your mother…
Martin: You know, Peter, I can’t pay you for this.
Mr. Howard: Benjamin, you pay me what you can, when you can.
Martin: I’m obliged.
Mr. Howard: Gabriel, sure reminds me a lot of you.
Martin: No, no, he is more like his mother… Corporal, take your time… Dogs!
