Johnny Tremain Page #2

---

There are things much more important

than a rich man's siIver.

The boy is onIy trying to do

what you can't do yourseIf.

God granted him a great gift.

But he must Iearn gratitude

and humbIeness.

But, Grandpa, onIy an hour?

It's time that God and His Word

came first in this house.

We wiII begin our Sabbath tonight

as becomes humbIe peopIe.

Begin with the 1 9th verse.

[Johnny] ''And I wiII break

the pride of your power;

and I wiII make your heaven as iron

and your earth as brass.''

''And your strength

shaII be spent in vain

for your Iand

shaII not yieId or increase.''

''Neither shaII the trees of the Iand

yieId their fruits.''

Pray the Deacon's meeting Iasts extra

Iong so he won't miss us from our pews.

We'd be jaiIed

for breaking the Sabbath.

If we get caught. Fetch water so we can

douse the fire if anyone comes.

Then keep watch down the street.

- Hurry up, Johnny!

- Yes, Mrs. Lapham.

The ConstabIe's coming!

Put it away, quickIy.

I'II douse the fire.

Johnny!

[CiIIa] Oh, Johnny!

Hey, it's you again.

- Where you been?

- Around.

- What happened to your hand?

- I burned it.

What's the gun for?

The tea I toId you about,

it's in that ship.

We're here to stop them Ianding it.

Oh, the tea gain.

Good morning, sir.

Fine day, isn't it?

That it is, Iad.

If you're gonna carry

one of these things,

Iearn to carry it right.

Yes, sir.

- Who's that?

- AdmiraI Montagu of His Majesty's Navy.

He's taken quarters for himseIf

over there,

but he can't Iand the Marines

he's got on his fIagship.

What do you mean? You wouIdn't hang

around this tea ship Iong if he did.

That's it.

Governor Hutchinson won't Iet him.

HaIf of Boston wouId turn out if the

Marines were Ianded against us.

Why not get your master to give you some

time off so you can take a turn with us?

My master's a siIversmith,

not a troubIemaker.

You couId've rode to CharIestown for

that charcoaI, time you've been gone.

There were others ahead of me,

I had to wait my turn.

Since when have you taken to waiting

for other apprentices

when there's work to be done?

- What's got into you?

- Let the boy be.

- Everything in good time.

- He's been moping about for weeks.

- But, Ma, his hand.

- Time we Iooked at that, too.

Unwrap it, Johnny.

Did you hear me, boy?

Move your fingers.

I can't.

It's no wonder.

They've aII grown together.

I know.

WeII, so... So that's it.

[Mrs. Lapham] There'II be

no more foIIowing the trade for you.

Why, we're not bound

to his contract after this, are we?

Johnny's contract is with me.

Come here, boy.

I've said nothing about

the broken Sabbath, Johnny.

God has sent you

enough punishment for that.

If you can't serve me,
