William Seward: Even if every Republican in the House votes yes, far from guaranteed, since when has our party unanimously supported anything? But say all our fellow Republicans vote for it, we'd still be twenty votes short.Abraham Lincoln: Only twenty? We can find twenty votes.William Seward: Twenty House Democrats who will vote to abolish slavery? In my opinion...Abraham Lincoln: To which I always listen.William Seward: Or pretend to.Abraham Lincoln: With all three of my ears.William Seward: We'll win the war, sir. It's inevitable, isn't it?Abraham Lincoln: Well, it ain't won yet.William Seward: You'll begin your second term, with semi-divine stature. Imagine the possibilities peace will bring. Why tarnish your invaluable luster with a battle in the House? It's a rats' nest in there. The same gang of talentless hicks and hacks who rejected the amendment ten months ago; we'll lose.Abraham Lincoln: I like our chances now.
