Eliza. Stop!
Stop your wailing!
If you let yourself be overcome by sorrow, you will drown in it.
Have you stopped crying for your children?
You make no sounds, but will you ever let them go in your heart?
- They are as my flesh. - Then who is distressed?
Do I upset the master and the mistress?
Do you care less about my loss than, than their well-being?
Master Ford is a decent man.
He is a slaver!
Under the circumstances, he is a slaver.
But you truckle at his boot.
- You luxuriate in his favor. - I survive!
I will not fall into despair!
I will offer up my talents to Master Ford!
I will keep myself hearty until freedom is opportune!
Ford is your opportunity?
You think he does not know that you are more than you suggest?
But he does nothing for you. Nothing.
You are no better than prized livestock.
Call for him. Call!
Tell him of your previous circumstances, and see what it earns you, Solomon.
So, you've settled into your role as Platt, then?
My back is thick with scars...
for protesting my freedom.
Do not accuse me.
I accuse you of nothing. I cannot accuse.
I have done dishonorable things to survive...
and for all of them, I have ended up here.
No better than if I stood up for myself.
God, forgive me.
Solomon, let me weep for my children!
