All That Money Can Buy1941

[Webster is examing the contract Mr. Scratch has with Stone]

Daniel Webster:
This appears - mind you, I say appears - to be properly drawn. But you shan't have this man. A man isn't a piece of property. Mr. Stone is an American citizen... and an American citizen cannot be forced into the service of a foreign prince.

Mr. Scratch:
Foreign? Who calls me a foreigner?

Daniel Webster:
Well, I never heard of the de... I never heard of you claiming American citizenship.

Mr. Scratch:
And who has a better right? When the first wrong was done to the first Indian, I was there. When the first slaver put out for the Congo, I stood on the deck. Am I not still spoken of in every church in New England? It's true the North claims me for a Southerner and the South for a Northerner, but I'm neither. Tell the truth, Mr. Webster - though I don't like to boast of it - my name is older in the country than yours.

Daniel Webster:
Then I stand on the Constitution. I demand a trial for my client.

Mr. Scratch:
You mean a jury trial?

Daniel Webster:
I do! And if I can't win this case with a jury you'll have me, too. If two New Hampshire men aren't a match for the devil, we better give the country back to the Indians.
