Freeman Quotes in Time Runner (1993)

Freeman: How about a picnic, ladies and gentlemen?

Ford: [Ford is attempting to buy Eliza, who begs to allow her daughter to come too. Her son having just been sold] How much for the little girl? You have no need for her. One so young will bring you no profit.

Freeman: I will not sell the girl. There's heaps 'n piles of money to be made off her. She is a beauty. One of the regular bloods. None of your thick-lipped, bullet headed, cotton picking niggers.

Ford: Her child, man. For God's sake, are you not sentimental in the least?

Freeman: My sentimentality stretches the length of a coin. Do you want the lot, Mr. Ford, or do you pass on them all?

Ford: I will take the ones Platt and Eliza.

Freeman: Oren. John. Lethe. Eliza. Randall. Emily. Platt... Platt!

[Solomon is the only one still seated. He does not respond; Freeman approaches him]

Freeman: You fit the description given. Why didn't you answer when called?

Solomon Northup: My name is not Platt. My name is...

Freeman: [slaps Solomon hard across the face] Your name is Platt.

Freeman: You see how fit the boy is. Like ripe fruit. He will grow into a fine beast.

[makes Randall run and jump in place]

Freeman: Six hundred, and that's fair and final.

Ford: What is the price for the ones Platt and Eliza?

Freeman: A thousand for Platt; he is a nigger of talent. Seven hundred for Eliza. My fairest price.

Ford: You will accept a note?

Freeman: Always from you, Mr. Ford.

Freeman: Put the least thought in your head. C'mon, now. Think of somethin'.
