Old Hickory (1939)

Nana Bryant: Rachel Jackson

Quotes 

• Rachel Jackson : [while very sick and in bed]  Andy, I've got to talk to you. I want you to promise me you won't fight another duel.

  Andrew Jackson : Don't ask me that, Rachael. Why, the man who slanders you must look to God for mercy.

  Rachel Jackson : But it's a conspiracy, this man will kill you!

  Andrew Jackson : Perhaps.

  Rachel Jackson : But don't you see, dear, it's your enemies - they're trying to strike at you through me. You mustn't let them do that, you must be strong. I know that in you lies the destiny of our people. You must choose a wise course for them to follow.

  Andrew Jackson : But you're askin' me to take the hardest course of all.

  Rachel Jackson : But it's one of the things I-I must ask of you. Promise me?

  Andrew Jackson : I promise, sweetheart.
