[questioning Cass about Scrub's death]

What were you and Scrub arguing about?

I'd rather not say.

Oh, you'd rather not say. Well, Jack, I'd rather you did say.

All right. We was arguin' about politics.

Well, that's something new to argue about.

I've learned some since, but I told Scrub I thought you had at least as much political sense in you as Stephen Douglas. Scrub got as mad as a wet hen and said you didn't!
