12 Years a Slave quotes

  • Ford: I believe Tibeats is skulkin' about the premises somewhere. He wants you dead, and he will attempt to have you so. It's no longer safe for you here. And I don't believe you will remain passive if Tibeats attacks. I have transferred my debt to Edwin Epps. He will take charge of you.

    Solomon Northup: Master Ford, you must know; I am not a slave.

    Ford: I cannot hear that.

    Solomon Northup: Before I came to you I was a free man.

    Ford: I am trying to save your life! And... I have a debt to be mindful of. That, now, is to Edwin Epps. He is a hard man. Prides himself on being a "nigger breaker." But truthfully I could find no others who would have you. You've made a reputation of yourself. Whatever your circumstances, you are an exceptional nigger, Platt. I fear no good will come of it.

  • Solomon Northup: [Solomon awakens Armsby in the middle of the night. He offers him a handful of coins] The proceeds of my fiddling performances. A few picayunes, but all I have in the world. I promise them to you if you will do me the favor I require. But I beg you not to expose me if you cannot grant the request.

    Armsby: What do you ask?

    Solomon Northup: First, your word, sir.

    Armsby: On my honor.

    Solomon Northup: It is a simple enough request. I ask only that you deposit a letter in the Marksville post office. And that you keep the action an inviolable secret forever. The details of the letter are of no consequence. Even at that, there would be an imposition of much pain and suffering were it known I was the author. A patron is what I require, sir.

    Armsby: Where is the letter now?

    Solomon Northup: It is not yet written. I will have it in a day. Two at most, my skill with composition as poor as it is.

    Armsby: I will do it. And will accept whatever payment is offered.
