Will Johnson
- Abraham Lincoln: [after Henry has saved Abraham and Will from falling train] Thank you, Henry. I suppose... some vampires CAN be trusted.
- Henry Sturgess: As can some men, Abraham.
- [pauses]
- Henry Sturgess: If the train was a decoy, where is the silver?
- Will Johnson: This isn't the only railroad.
- Abraham Lincoln: [Henry nods, Abraham grins knowingly] A wise man once taught me... always have a contingency plan.
- Will Johnson: [entering the store, with his back to Lincoln] A stock boy reading a law book. What? Studying to be a lawyer?
- Abraham Lincoln: As a matter a fact, I am.
- Will Johnson: Alright, what about a little test? What's the law for free slaves in the north?
- Abraham Lincoln: According to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, Enforcing Article 4, Section 2 of the United States Constitution: "All runaway slaves must be returned to their owners." However, personal liberty laws state that: "Anyone born free cannot be taken under this act."
- Will Johnson: [turning slowly] I heard a good woman once say, "Until we are all free, we're all slaves."
- [Mary comes to visit Abe and Will in jail]
- Mary Todd Lincoln: I've spoken to the Senator. He'll have you out soon.
- Will Johnson: You're far too kind, Miss Todd.
- [indicates Abe]
- Will Johnson: And he's far too ugly to have a woman like you.
- Mary Todd Lincoln: [smiles] Well, I think plain-looking men are the best. It's why the Lord made so many of them.
