A scene from Warm Springs 2005
Louis McHenry Howe

[FDR is about to make a speech.]

What's the matter?

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

What if I fall?

Louis McHenry Howe

If you fall, you just get up again.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

If I fall in front of thousands of people, I'll lose everything... except their pity. They'll never see past my legs.

Eleanor Roosevelt

My darling, they'll never see past your legs... until you do.
