L.A. Story Quote
James Mink: So, Reverend, how far is this Clay plantation?
Rev. Eli Brennemen: A good hour's ride from here.
James Mink: Good. We can get there by nightfall.
Rev. Eli Brennemen: Mr. Mink, I caution you about being too hasty. Getting a slave off a plantation is very dangerous. Before we do anything, we're going to need a plan.
James Mink: Mary is not a slave, sir. And I already have a plan. We'll slip in there by nightfall, and we'll get Mary out.
Rev. Eli Brennemen: You might manage that. You might even get her all the way back to town. But how do you plan to get out of Virginia with every marshal and slave catcher from here to the border looking for a fair-skinned runaway, a colored man and a white woman? Mr. Mink, if you're caught, *you* could be sold as a slave, and Elizabeth could be jailed. And you don't want to know what will happen to Mary if they have to send her back to the Clay plantation.
Elizabeth Mink: Tell us what we must do.
