Abe Lincoln in Illinois (trailer, 1940)

and gentlemen Abe Lincoln. Wayne Common's sucker with a sure tail says short, it can't set on it. Sometimes says Lincoln breaks down, his heart fails, and his tongue fails, and his legs fail. Stop it!

I can't stand it any longer. Yes, my dear. I think you should go home. I won't go home. You only want to be rid of me. That's all you wanted ever since the day we were married.

Anything to get me out of your sight because you hate me. Why do you take every opportunity you can to make a public fool out of me and yourself? This country with its institutions belongs to the people who inhabit it.

I can say thank God we live under a system by which men have the right to strike. We gain democracy. And there is now doubt whether it is fit to survive.
