Abraham Lincoln Page #6

put that over there...

and you... idiot

don't look at me like

a duck in a thunderstorm!

Hurry... hurry!

Will you put them in there?

I never saw such a lot of incompetents.

And as for you with the whiskers,

I told you to put it in there.

Oh, is it going to take forever?

Thank heavens, that's the last!

Imbeciles!

Well, Mary, we're here.

Thanks to me! If it wasn't for my advice,

you'd be out in Oregon, chopping trees.

Yes, you're always right, Mary.

I've found out one thing, Lincoln.

Servants here are no better

than they are in Springfield.

This place

hasn't been cleaned in a year.

Why, Mr. President!

Huh?

Then we agree that the situatin

of our country is ominous.

- Most alarming.

- Certainly.

We agree that we must yield

to the demands of the South

and evacuate Fort Sumter.

- Absolutely.

- It's the only solutin.

That must be done.

We agree that our President

must be firmly guided by us.

That we must make every effort

to control his inexperienced judgment.

- We certainly must.

- Yes.

Gentlemen...

- Mr. President.

- Good morning, Mr. President.

Thank you, Hay.

Thank you, gentlemen...

I will shoulder all responsibilities.

The relief shall go to Fort Sumter.

That means war.

Mr. Seward, I am a man of peace,

but the Unin shall be preserved.

Seventy-five thousand...

It might be difficult

to get that many volunteers.

- Glory, glory Hallelujah,-

- Glory, glory Hallelujah!-

- Glory, glory Hallelujah!-

- His soul is marching on!-

- Glory, glory Hallelujah,-

- Glory, glory Hallelujah!-

Glory, glory Hallelujah!-

- I wish I was in Dixie,-

- Hooray! Hooray!-

- In Dixieland I'll take my stand-

- To live and die in Dixie. -

- Away, away, away down South in Dixie,-

- Away, away, away down South in Dixie. -

- I wish I was in Dixie,-

- Hooray! Hooray!-

- In Dixieland I'll take my stand-

- To live and die in Dixie. -

- Away, away, away down South in Dixie,-

- Away, away, away down South in Dixie. -

President, the people demand a victory,

and we've got to take Richmond.

The country is discouraged.

We must do something.

That reminds me of a story...

about a man building

a boat to cross a river.

He got impatient

building the boat and started swimming.

Well, sir, what happened?

He drowned.

We've got to be careful

not to drown this country.

Ready here!

Ready here!

- Quartermaster General.

- Yes, sir.

Ready here!

Ready here!

- Ready here!

- Sergeant, I'm going out.

- How did you make out?

- Make out?

He darned near kissed me.

- Who?

- The Secretary of War.

We're just licking

the tar out of thorn all along the line.

- Who's next?

- I am.

I hope it's for the President.

I'd like to sec his face
