Have you lost your very soul, Mr. Stevens? Is there nothing you won't say? I'm sorry...

Asa Vintner Litton:
Have you lost your very soul, Mr. Stevens? Is there nothing you won't say?
Thaddeus Stevens:
I'm sorry you're nauseous, Asa. That must be unpleasant. I want the amendment to pass, so that the constitution's first and only mention of slavery is its absolute prohibition. For this amendment, for which I have worked all my life and for which countless colored men and women have fought and died and now hundreds of thousands of soldiers... No, sir, no, it seems there's very nearly nothing I won't say.
