Solomon Northup:
We need a sympathetic ear. If we have an opportunity to explain our situation...
Clemens:
Who in your estimation is that sympathetic ear?
Solomon Northup:
The two men I journeyed with. I'm certain they're making inquires at this very moment.
Clemens:
I would be just as certain they are counting the money paid for delivering you to this place.
Solomon Northup:
They were not kidnappers. They were artists. Fellow performers.
Clemens:
You know that? You know for certain who they were?
[Solomon cannot answer]
Clemens:
How I reckon the situation: whatever past we had... well, that's done now. The reality to come is us being transported southward. New Orleans if I were to venture. After we arrive, we'll be put to market. Beyond that... Well, once in a slave state I suppose there's only one outcome.
