John Adams:
(I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress! And by God, I have had this Congress! For ten years, King George and his Parliament have gulled, cullied, and diddled these colonies with their illegal taxes: Stamp Acts, Townshend Acts, Sugar Acts, Tea Acts! And when we dared stand up like men, they have stopped our trade, seized our ships, blockaded our ports, burned our towns, and spilled our blood! And still, this Congress refuses to grant ANY of my proposals on independence, even so much as the courtesy of open debate! Good God, what in hell are you waiting for?)
Congressmen:
Sit down, John
Sit down, John
For God's sake, John
Sit down
Sit down, John
Sit down, John
For God's sake, John
Sit down!
Samuel Chase:
Someone ought to open up a window!
Congressmen:
It's ninety degrees
Have mercy, John, please
It's hot as hell in Philadelphia
Samuel Chase:
Someone ought to open up a window!
John Adams:
I say vote yes!
Vote yes!
Vote for independency!

Someone ought to open up a window!

Richard Henry Lee:
Someone ought to open up a window!
Congressmen:
No! No! No!
Too many flies
Too many flies
But it's hot as hell in Philadelphia
Are you going to open up a window?
Can't we compromise here?
John Adams:
Vote yes!
Congressmen:
No, too many flies here!
John Adams:
Vote yes!
Congressmen:
Oh for God's sake, John, sit down!
John Adams:
(Good God! Consider yourselves fortunate that you have John Adams to abuse, for no sane man would tolerate it!)
Congressmen:
John, you're a bore
We've heard this before
Now, for God's sake, John
Sit down!

Will someone shut that man up?

(Never! Never!)
