North and South, Book II1986

George Hazard:
I just talked to Morgan and he connected you with Axol Iron. I don't want to believe this, Stanley.

Stanley Hazard:
George...

George Hazard:
Just tell me it isn't true. [Stanley does not reply] You're my brother... I have trusted you with everything. How could you do this?

Isabel Hazard:
Stanley, don't tell him anything!

Constance Flynn Hazard:
Don't you realize what you've done? There's been a government investigation and they're going to arrest George.

Isabel Hazard:
Whatever trouble he's in, it's his own doing.

Stanley Hazard:
[raises voice] Enough! Isabel, I have always given everything you've ever wanted. Now I will not sacrifice my brother. George I had no idea any of this would ever happen with those cannons. And when I found out it was too late. Our whole business was at stake. Our future...

George Hazard:
What about our future, Stanley? You have not only befouled this family's reputation, you have probably destroyed the future of Hazard Iron, which is nothing comparied to the senseless killing of who knows how many Union soldiers!

Stanley Hazard:
Why...

George Hazard:
[grabs him by the lapels] You miserable traitor!

Stanley Hazard:
...Please forgive me.

George Hazard:
You must take full responsibility as will this company, to the families of those dead soldiers. Undoubtedly that means long prison terms for both you and Isabel.

Isabel Hazard:
I've done nothing illegal. My signature was not on those documents.

Constance Flynn Hazard:
Apparently you haven't heard your husband, dear. It's over, Isabel.

George Hazard:
If you can find the courage to own up to your actions, you might find some selfrespect.

Stanley Hazard:
I'll cooperate.
