Young Mr. Lincoln1939

Abe Lincoln:
[questioning Cass about Scrub's death] What were you and Scrub arguing about?

John Cass:
I'd rather not say.

Abe Lincoln:
Oh, you'd rather not say. Well, Jack, I'd rather you did say.

John Cass:
All right. We was arguin' about politics.

Abe Lincoln:
Well, that's something new to argue about.

John Cass:
I've learned some since, but I told Scrub I thought you had at least as much political sense in you as Stephen Douglas. Scrub got as mad as a wet hen and said you didn't!
