Something wrong with the clip?

William Seward:
Gentleman, you have a visitor.
W.N. Bilbo:
[checking his friend cards]
Oh my God, goddamn...
W.N. Bilbo:
[President Lincoln walks in]
I'll be fucked.
Abraham Lincoln:
I wouldn't bet against it, Mr...?
W.N. Bilbo:
W.N.Bilbo.
Abraham Lincoln:
Yeah, Mr. Bilbo. Gentlemen...
Robert Latham:
Sir.
W.N. Bilbo:
Why are you here? No offense, but Mr. Seward's banished the very mention of your name, he won't even let us use fifty-cent pieces 'cause they got your face on 'em.
Abraham Lincoln:
The Secretary of State here tells me that, uh... you got eleven Democrats in the bag. That's encouraging.
Richard Schell:
Oh, you've got no cause to be encouraged. Sir. Uh...
Robert Latham:
Are we being... fired?
Abraham Lincoln:
[quoting Shakespeare]
'We have heard the chimes of midnight, Master Shallow.' I'm here to alert you boys that the great day of reckoning is nigh upon us.
Transcript
You keep your eyes off my fob.
Gentlemen, you have a visitor.
- Goddamn!
- Hey, Bill.
Well, I'll be fucked.
I wouldn't bet against it.
Mr...?
W. N. Bilbo.
Yeah, Mr. Bilbo. Gentlemen.
Sir.
Why are you here? No offense,
but Mr. Seward's banished
the very mention of your name.
He won't even let us use fifty cent pieces
'cause they've got your face on 'em.
The Secretary of State here
tells me that you got
11 Democrats in the bag.
That's encouraging.
Oh, you've got no cause
to be encouraged, sir.
Are we being fired?
"We have heard the chimes
at midnight, Master Shallow."
I'm here to alert you boys
that the great day of reckoning
is nigh upon us.
The Democrats we've yet to bag, sir,
the patronage jobs simply won't bag 'em.
They require more convincing,
Mr. President.
Do me a favor, will you?
Sure.
It snagged my eye
in the paper this morning
that the Governor Curtin
is set to declare a winner in the disputed
Congressional election for the...
Pennsylvania 16th District.
District.
What a joy to be comprehended.
Hop on a train to Philadel,
call on the Governor...
Send Latham. Or Schell.
No, he'll do fine.
Just polish yourself up first.
The incumbent is claiming
he won it. Name of...
Coffroth.
- That's him.
- Coffroth.
- He's a Democrat.
- I understand that.
- Silly name.
- A little bit silly.
Tell Governor Curtin
it'd be much appreciated
