"Blackstone's Commentaries".
:05:11
That's law.
:05:13
Law. I knew that book
was about somethin'.
:05:16
Hardly a thumb mark on it either.
:05:18
No, sir. We took
mighty good care of it.
:05:21
Reckon you can read it, sir?
:05:24
I expect I could make head or tails out of it,
if I set my mind to it.
:05:31
Law.
:05:48
Law.
:05:51
That's the rights of persons
and the rights of things.
:06:03
The rights of life,
reputation and liberty.
:06:07
The rights to acquire
and hold property.
:06:14
"Wrongs are violations
of those rights".
:06:21
By jing, that's all there is to it.
:06:24
Right and wrong.
:06:29
Maybe I ought to begin
to take this up serious.
:06:33
Hello, Mr. Lincoln.
:06:35
- Abe.
- Well, hello, Ann.
:06:40
Give me a minute
to try and untangle myself.
:06:45
Aren't you afraid you'll put your eyes out
reading like that upside-down?
:06:48
Trouble is, Ann, when I'm standin' up
my mind's lyin' down.
:06:53
When I'm lyin' down,
my mind's standin' up.
:06:56
Of course, allowin' I got a mind.
:06:58
You've a wonderful mind, Abe,
and you know it.
