Radburn: [brings food in to Solomon; a shriveled piece of meat and some water. Just barely enough to sustain Solomon. Radburn also has a shirt] That old thing of yours is just rags and tatters. Need something proper to wear. Go'won. Put it on.
[Solomon reluctantly does so]
Radburn: There. Tha's fine. Tha's fine. Got no gratitude?
Solomon Northup: ...Thank you.
Radburn: Yah keep bein' proper, yah'll see how things work out.
[takes Solomon's old shirt]
Solomon Northup: No! It was from my wife.
Radburn: Rags and tatters. Rags and tatters.
