Quotes 

• Jeffrey Jones : Bogg, I'm really sorry I doubted you. I should have known all along you could do it.

  Phineas Bogg : Jeffrey, you are as stubborn as a mule. You had to go out there and do it your own way no matter what anybody says or how it might turn out just because you thought it was right.

  [Grins proudly] 

  Phineas Bogg : I like that. You act like a real Voyager.

• Jeffrey Jones : Where are we, Bogg?

  Phineas Bogg : How does the south of Italy, 73 BC, grab you?

  Jeffrey Jones : That explains the gladiators?

  Phineas Bogg : You got any idea what's wrong? It's flashin' red.

  Jeffrey Jones : I don't know. I'm not too great with this part of history.

• Jeffrey Jones : Boy, grownups can really be jerks.

  Young Sam Clemens : Yeah, I don't have much use for them myself. You and your friend get in a fight?

  Jeffrey Jones : Yeah. We saw a runaway slave get captured this morning. I wanna go back and help her escape again, but my friend won't help me. He says it's a bad idea.

  Young Sam Clemens : Well, I have to go along with your friend there. Ain't right to help a slave escape.

  Jeffrey Jones : Well, you think slavery's right?

  Young Sam Clemens : Well, preachers don't say it's wrong. Teachers don't neither. Even the government says it's all right.

  Jeffrey Jones : Well, you wouldn't wanna be a slave, would you?

  Young Sam Clemens : Well, heck, no.

  Jeffrey Jones : Well, why do you think it's all right for anyone else to be one?

  Young Sam Clemens : I don't know. It's just... I've seen colored folks as slaves all my life. I just kind of got used to it. Well, it just seems natural.

  Jeffrey Jones : Well, it's not natural. It's wrong. One day, everyone's gonna see that. And it's gonna be illegal in every state.

  Young Sam Clemens : Well, I still don't know if slavery's right or wrong, but like my ma always says, I'm not one to put down a chance to get into trouble. So, if you're gonna break that slave out tonight, well, I'll help you.

• Young Sam Clemens : [Sam and Jeffrey have been caught helping Harriet Tubman escape, and the three are now in the custody of the Sheriff]  My ma was right, I'm headin' for an early grave.

  Harriet Tubman : I'm sorry, boys, I really am. Never thought anybody but me would have to sacrifice for my freedom.

  Jeffrey Jones : If I had to, Harriet, I'd do it all over again.

  Young Sam Clemens : Yeah, me too. Well, heck, there's somethin' extravagant about bein' hung at the age of twelve.
