12 years a slave Best scene - Are u Nig*a or Engineer?

The creek is plenty deep enough to sail, even with a boat full of load. The distance from the work area to the point on the latter bayou is several miles by water fewer than land. It occurs to me that the expense of transportation would be materially diminished. Materially diminished? If we use the waterway. Are you an engineer or a black? Are you an engineer or a black? Let the man say his piece. It's a scheme. Plenty of engineers have schemed similarly. The passes are too tight. I reckon they're more than 12 feet at their most narrow. Wide enough for a tub to traverse if a team of niggers cleared it out. And you know what of transport and terraforming? I labored repairing the Champlain Canal on the section over which William Van Norquik was superintendent. With my earnings, I hired several efficient hands to assist me and ended into contracts for the transportation of large rafts of timber from Lake Champlain to Troy. Well, I'll admit to being impressed even if you won't. Collect a team and see what good you can do. Platt, you are a marvel. Thank you, Mr. Floyd. Oh, thank you.
