And faith faith that the thing we want will be there for us after we've worked our way through the woods. We are in the woods now. It's going to take our combined brains to get us out. I don't mean just Morton College. HOLDEN: No America. As to getting out, I think you are all wrong. FEJEVARY: That's one of your sweeping statements, Holden. Nobody's all wrong. Even you aren't.
FEJEVARY: Holden! Bring her to her senses. Stand there. MADELINE: You think you can keep me in here with that going on out there? After a moment, slowly, as one compelled, he steps aside for her to pass. Sound of her running footsteps. The two men's eyes meet. SCENE: At the MORTON place, the same room in which SILAS MORTON told his friend FELIX FEJEVARY of his plan for the hill.
HOLDEN: I shall never forget your father, Mr Fejevary, as he stood out there and said the few words which gave these books to the students. Not many books, but he seemed to baptize them in the very spirit from which books are born. FEJEVARY: He died the following year. HOLDEN: One felt death near. But that didn't seem the important thing. A student who had fought for liberty for mind.
I thought this was a day off. HORACE: I'm looking for a book. Now how does that happen? HORACE: I want the speeches of Abraham Lincoln. SENATOR: You couldn't do better. HORACE: I'll show those dirty dagoes where they get off! FEJEVARY: You couldn't show them a little more elegantly? HORACE: I'm going to sick the Legion on 'em. FEJEVARY: Are you talking about the Hindus?
FELIX: Oh, we don't know how many millions of years since earth first stirred. SILAS: Then we are what we are because through all that time there've been them that wanted to be more than life had been. FELIX: That's it, Uncle Silas. SILAS: But why, then we aren't finished yet! FEJEVARY: No. We take it on from here. FEJEVARY: Go back on the dreaming and the daring of a million years.
This is for all the children. GRANDMOTHER: What's all the children to you? You who were never too tired to give up your own bed so the stranger could have a better bed. GRANDMOTHER: That was different. They was folks on their way. FEJEVARY: So are we. GRANDMOTHER: That's just talk. We're settled now. Children of other old settlers are getting rich. I should think you'd want yours to.
FEJEVARY: But why not stay in the library in case I should need you. Just take your books over to the east alcove and go on with what you were doing when I came in. As to Madeline FEJEVARY: You don't want to see the girl destroy herself, do you? I confess I've always worried about Madeline. If my sister had lived But Madeline's mother died, you know, when she was a baby.
FEJEVARY: No; he had the vision of the future; he was robust with feeling for others. The way he concentrates on corn excludes all else as if unable to free himself from their old battle with the earth. FEJEVARY: Well, my dear child, it's life has 'wished it on him'. It's just one other way of paying the price for his country. We needn't get it for nothing.
MADELINE: No, no, I didn't mean you, Uncle. FEJEVARY: What do you mean my side? MADELINE: Oh, I don't exactly. That's nice about him being of the earth. Sometimes when I'm out for a tramp way off by myself yes, I know. And I wonder if that doesn't explain his feeling about the Indians. Father told me how grandfather took it to heart about the Indians.
Then maybe I can lie under the same sod with the red boys and not be ashamed. We're not old! Let's fight! Wake in other men what you woke in me! FEJEVARY: And so could I pay my debt to America. SCENE: A corridor in the library of Morton College, October of the year 1920, upon the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of its founding.
