Loading...

[adams, spoken]
by god, i have had this congress! for ten years, king george and his parliament have gulled, cullied, and diddled these colonies. 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 the h-ll are they waiting for?

[congress]
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!

[congressman]
someone oughta open up a window!

[congressmen 1]
it’s ninety degrees! have mercy, john, please
it’s hot as h-ll in philadephia!

[congressmen 2]
someone oughta open up a window!

[adams]
i say vote yes! vote yes! vote for independency!

[congress]
someone oughta open up a window!

[adams]
i say vote yes!

[congress]
sit down, john!

[adams]
vote for independency!

[richard henry lee]
someone oughta open up a window!

[congress]
no, no, no!
too many flies! too many flies!
but it’s hot as h-ll in philadelphia!
someone oughta open up a window!
can’t we compromise here?

[adams]
vote yes!

[congress]
no, too many flies here!

[adams]
vote yes!

[congress]
oh, for god’s sake, john, sit down!

[adams, spoken]
good god! consider yourselves fortunate that you have john
adams to abuse, for no sane man would tolerate it!

[congress]
john, you’re a bore; we’ve heard this before
now for god’s sake, john, sit down!

[adams]
i say vote yes!

[congress]
no!

[adams]
vote yes!

[congress]
no!

[adams]
vote for independency!

[congress]
someone oughta open up a window!

[adams]
i say vote yes!

[congress]
sit down, john!

[adams]
vote for independency!

[congressman]
will someone shut that man up?

[adams, spoken]
never!
never!
