Dialogue Abraham Lincoln: You know, Ann, I... I've always done a lot of dreaming. And lately it seems when I dream, your face gets mixed up in it. Ann Rutledge: Does it really, Abe? Tell me about them, Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln: Well, I... I feel as though I'm going to be seeing your face 'til the day I die. Course, I know that that'll be pretty hard on you to have to look at my face that long. Ann Rutledge: Everybody to their own opinion. Abraham Lincoln: Hmm? Ann Rutledge: Well, I... I think it's the dearest, kindest, most beautiful face in the whole world. Abraham Lincoln: Oh, Ann, Ann. Course, I know that's just flattery, but I love it. Ann Rutledge: I know the truth, dear. It's goodbye. Abraham Lincoln: No, no, Ann, dear. You're not going to leave me. I won't let you! Ann Rutledge: We must be brave, dear... [looking up to the heavens] Don't take me away. Don't take me away! It's so dark and lonesome! Abraham Lincoln: Ann, you mustn't let go. Ann Rutledge: If they'd sing, I wouldn't be so afraid. We will meet there, dear. Gen. Robert E. Lee: Surrender? My poor army! Why I'd rather die a thousand deaths than to do that to them. Aide: There, there, General. You must lie down and rest. Gen. Robert E. Lee: Rest... that's a beautiful word. Cast Walter Huston — Abraham Lincoln William L.
