my friends...
one well worthy of King James.
He spares us the mercifully quick
extinction of the hangman's rope...
and gives the slow death of slavery.
He grants us our lives
in exchange for a living death.
lt's an uncertain world entirely.
''Be it known, men, that these prisoners
''are now to be sold at a right
and fitting price.
''They may be put to labor
in the sulfur mines...
''or on the plantations
for a period of 10 years.
''And the parties
to whom they are assigned...
''must enter into security
for the proper punishment...
''of their offense.''
His Excellency, the Governor of Port Royal.
Guards, attention! Present muskets.
Good day, Captain. Lovely day, isn't it?
Or is it?
-Good day, Dixon.
-Good day, Governor.
I suppose we can begin this sale now,
Governor.
No, better wait for Col. Bishop.
He has the privilege
of being late for everything.
Yes, I know.
There he is.
-Good afternoon, Col. Bishop.
-Good afternoon, Governor.
Good afternoon, Miss Arabella.
How is my darling, the Governor,
and his foot?
Every day I think my gout
can't get any worse...
and every day it does.
My dear Colonel,
according to the King's request...
it is for you to take first choice
of this dainty nosegay...
and at your own price.
Egad, they're an appalling lot...
not likely to be of much value
on the plantation.
The less you want, the more for Dixon.
-Dixon? Uncle, I wish you'd buy them all.
-Buy them all?
To keep them out of Dixon's hands.
I perceive somebody's been talking
behind my back...
telling the truth.
-And you can joke.
-Arabella dear, don't be childish.
These men are rebels against their king.
They should be hanged, drawn,
and quartered.
-Any fate they meet is too good for them.
-Your uncle is right.
-Let the sale commence.
-My foot!
My dear, the law is the law,
and it's His Majesty's law...
and must be obeyed.
The best of the lot.
Open your mouth.
-20.
-Sold!
Sold to Col. Bishop for 20.
-As if he were buying horses.
-Yes, quite.
-Same price.
-This is Jeremy Pitt, ship's pilot...
young and sturdy.
-Same price.
-Sold!
Sold to Col. Bishop for 20.
Quiet!
Open your mouth.
His pride has bought him a ticket
to Dixon's mines.
He isn't there yet.
-My dear, consider your social position!
-Uncle!
-Which one?
-That one.
-Him? I will not.
-But I want you to.
No. Let him cool his head
in Dixon's mines. I'll have none of him.
-5.
-5? That's an insulting sum to offer.
-6.
7.
You're making an exhibition of yourself...
a girl like you,
bidding for a slave before these people.
-Will you buy him?
-Certainly not.
8.
When a lady's interested in a man....
