Bill Camp: Radburn

Quotes 

• Radburn : [brings food in to Solomon; a shriveled piece of meat and some water. Just barely enough to sustain Solomon. Radburn also has a shirt]  That old thing of yours is just rags and tatters. Need something proper to wear. Go'won. Put it on.

  [Solomon reluctantly does so] 

  Radburn : There. Tha's fine. Tha's fine. Got no gratitude?

  Solomon Northup : ...Thank you.

  Radburn : Yah keep bein' proper, yah'll see how things work out.

  [takes Solomon's old shirt] 

  Solomon Northup : No! It was from my wife.

  Radburn : Rags and tatters. Rags and tatters.

• Radburn : Jus takin' a li'l trip, tha's all. Don't want to frighten the chil'ren none over a li'l boat ride, do yah?
