Voyagers!1982

Jeffrey Jones:
Boy, grownups can really be jerks.

Young Sam Clemens:
Yeah, I don't have much use for them myself. You and your friend get in a fight?

Jeffrey Jones:
Yeah. We saw a runaway slave get captured this morning. I wanna go back and help her escape again, but my friend won't help me. He says it's a bad idea.

Young Sam Clemens:
Well, I have to go along with your friend there. Ain't right to help a slave escape.

Jeffrey Jones:
Well, you think slavery's right?

Young Sam Clemens:
Well, preachers don't say it's wrong. Teachers don't neither. Even the government says it's all right.

Jeffrey Jones:
Well, you wouldn't wanna be a slave, would you?

Young Sam Clemens:
Well, heck, no.

Jeffrey Jones:
Well, why do you think it's all right for anyone else to be one?

Young Sam Clemens:
I don't know. It's just... I've seen colored folks as slaves all my life. I just kind of got used to it. Well, it just seems natural.

Jeffrey Jones:
Well, it's not natural. It's wrong. One day, everyone's gonna see that. And it's gonna be illegal in every state.

Young Sam Clemens:
Well, I still don't know if slavery's right or wrong, but like my ma always says, I'm not one to put down a chance to get into trouble. So, if you're gonna break that slave out tonight, well, I'll help you.
