Adam
- Adam: [after Lincoln's attempt to help the slaves] Bravo, Mr. Lincoln! Bravo. You're even better then I've heard. A shame to sacrafice so many of my best men... but I needed to know if you were up to the task.
- Abraham Lincoln: [being held down by Vadoma] What do you want with me?
- Adam: To see you liberated. To see you rise up and destroy your oppressor.
- Abraham Lincoln: [angrily] That's interesting coming from a slave owner!
- Adam: Men have enslaved each other... since they invented gods to forgive them for doing it.
- Adam: We are all slaves to something. I, to eternity. You, to you convictions. Others, to the color of their skin.
- Adam: [on the train, after discovering the rocks, realizes that he has been tricked and grabs Speed by the throat] Why did you lie to me?
- Joshua Speed: [seething] To get you all in one place! To finish you!
- Jack Barts: [as they walk the docks] Adam, Adam. Let me explain.
- Adam: Last one, Barts. I'm not coming up here to clean up your messes anymore.
- Jack Barts: Yes, sir. I promise.
- Jack Barts: Every so often, I think about what it would be like in the south.
- Adam: So, where's Henry?
- Jack Barts: Yes, sir. We've been looking all over, sir. Searchin' high and low.
- Adam: Low is more likely. Just find him, Barts... Oh, and send a fresh crop south. We have a lot of mouths to feed.
