00:07 New York is where society puts itself on display.
00:10 The leaders meet each other, and their children
00:12 court each other.
00:14 The old guard think they can keep out
00:15 the new people with impunity, but nothing
00:17 stays the same forever.
00:19 Change came from the American Revolution,
00:22 but it was difficult to live through all the same.

00:26 I intend to bring the great city of New York,
00:28 the opera house it deserves.
00:30 The young members of the Academy
00:32 are very determined it should not succeed.
00:35 You'll need to pick a team.
00:37 That's it.
00:38 Head to head, and one will be the winner.
00:40 Mrs. Russell is even more of a fighter than I had realized.

00:45 Is there any chance I could come back to 61st Street?
00:49 Agnes would welcome you back with open arms.
00:51 I never dreamt that I might still fall in love,
00:54 but I wonder what Agnes will think.
00:57 Cousin Dashiell?
00:58 He's taken a real interest in Mariam.
01:00 But I don't just want a husband, Aunt Ada.
01:03 He is rich.
01:04 He's even handsome.
01:05 What more could a girl ask for?
01:07 We're covering the opening of a new school in Tuskegee.
01:10 You have never been South.
01:11 I need to show the world they're
01:12 high-colored people making something of their lives.
01:15 [CHANTING]
01:16 Things are worse than I thought.
01:18 Your workers will pay barely enough to put food on the table.
01:21 Why must I be the villain in every story?
01:22 I have lifted whole towns out of poverty.
01:25 You're making a terrible mistake.
01:27 Stop being so selfish.
01:28 I won't be put in a cage.
01:30 Have you forgotten that you live here at my pleasure?
01:34 I'm afraid we have a serious problem.
01:37 I cover all your backs, but who's covering mine?
01:41 There are no guarantees anymore, and that's what this is.
01:47 You seem to have won the first battle.
01:49 I intend to win the war.
