12 Years a Slave Quote

Edwin Epps: And that servant which knew his Lord's will... which knew his Lord's will and prepared not himself... prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes... D'ye hear that? Stripes. That nigger that don't take care, that don't obey his lord - that's his master - d'ye see? - that 'ere nigger shall be beaten with many stripes. Now, many signifies a great many. Forty, a hundred, a hundred and fifty lashes... that's Scripture.
