[Standing awkwardly nearby as Jefferson and Martha embrace] John Adams: Jefferson, kindly introduce me to your wife. [pause] John Adams: She is your wife, isn't she? Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Of course she is. Look at the way they fit. John Dickinson: Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Lee, Mr. Hopkins, Dr. Franklin, why have you joined this... incendiary little man, this BOSTON radical? This demagogue, this MADMAN? John Adams: Are you calling me a madman, you, you... you FRIBBLE! Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Easy John. John Adams: You cool, considerate men. You hang to the rear on every issue so that if we should go under, you'll still remain afloat! John Dickinson: Are you calling me a coward? John Adams: Yes... coward! John Dickinson: Madman! John Adams: Landlord! John Dickinson: LAWYER! [a brawl breaks out] Abigail: I never asked for more. After all, I am Mrs. John Adams and that's quite enough for one lifetime. John Adams: Is it, Abby? Abigail: Well, think of it, John, to be married to the man who is always the first in line to be hanged! John Adams: A second flood, a simple famine, plagues of locusts everywhere, or a cataclysmic earthquake, I'd accept with some despair. But no, You sent us Congress! Good God, Sir, was that fair? Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Please Mr. Dickinson, but must you start banging? How is a man to sleep? [laughter from Congress] John Dickinson: Forgive me, Dr. Franklin, but must YOU start speaking? How is a man to stay awake? [More laughter] John Dickinson: We'll promise to be quiet - I'm sure everyone prefers that you remained asleep. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: If I'm to hear myself called an Englishman, sir, I assure you I prefer I'd remained asleep. John Dickinson: What's so terrible about being called an Englishman? The English don't seem to mind. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Nor would I, were I given the full rights of an Englishman. But to call me one without those rights is like calling an ox a bull. He's thankful for the honor, but he'd much rather have restored what's rightfully his. [laughter] John Dickinson: When did you first notice they were missing, sir? [laughter] Thomson: [calling for a vote] Where's Rhode Island? McNair: Rhode Island's out visiting the necessary. Hancock: Well, after what Rhode Island has consumed, I can't say I'm surprised. We'll come back to him, Mr. Thompson. Thomson: Rhode Island passes. [Roar of laughter from the Congress] Hopkins: Well, in all my years I ain't never heard, seen nor smelled an issue that was so dangerous it couldn't be talked about. Hell yeah! I'm for debating anything. Rhode Island says yea! [Jefferson's wife visits, and they retire behind closed doors] John Adams: Good God, you don't mean... they're not going to...? In the middle of the afternoon? Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Not everybody's from Boston, John! Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Oh John, you can dance! John Adams: We still do a few things in Boston, Franklin. 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 courtesty of open debate! Good God, what in hell are you waiting for? John Adams: At a stage in life when other men prosper, I'm reduced to living in Philadelphia. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a great man before? Lewis Morris: [as John Hancock is about to swat a fly] Mr. Secretary, New York abstains, courteously. [Hancock raises his fly swatter at Morris, then draws back] John Hancock: Mr. Morris, [pause, then shouts] John Hancock: WHAT IN HELL GOES ON IN NEW YORK? Lewis Morris: I'm sorry Mr. President, but the simple fact is that our legislature has never sent us explicit instructions on anything! John Hancock: NEVER? [slams fly swatter onto his desk] John Hancock: That's impossible! Lewis Morris: Mr. President, have you ever been present at a meeting of the New York legislature? [Hancock shakes his head "No"] Lewis Morris: They speak very fast and very loud, and nobody listens to anybody else, with the result that nothing ever gets done. [turns to the Congress as he returns to his seat] Lewis Morris: I beg the Congress's pardon. John Hancock: [grimly] My sympathies, Mr. Morris. John Adams: Well, Franklin, where's that idiot Lee? Is he back yet? I don't see him. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Softly, John, your voice is hurting my foot. John Adams: One more day, Franklin. Then I shall propose to Congress. That strutting popinjay was so damn sure of himself. He's had time to come back with a dozen proposals by now! 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

[Adams has barged into Jefferson's room, accompanied by Franklin, to read the results of Jefferson's work on the Declaration of Independence] John Adams: You've had a whole week, man. Is it done? Can I SEE IT? [Jefferson indicates dozens of rejected drafts strewn crumpled about his floor] John Adams: Do you mean to say that it is NOT YET FINISHED? Thomas Jefferson: No sir. I mean to say that it is not yet begun. John Adams: Good GOD! A whole week! The entire earth was created in a week! [Jefferson turns to face him] Thomas Jefferson: Someday, you must tell me how you did it. John Adams: Disgusting. John Dickinson: Don't forget that most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor. John Dickinson: Mr. Hancock, you're a man of property, one of us. Why don't you join us in our minuet? Why do you persist on dancing with John Adams? Good Lord, sir, you don't even like him! Hancock: That is true, he annoys me quite a lot, but still I'd rather trot to Mr. Adams' new gavotte John Dickinson: But why? For personal glory, for a place in history? Be careful, sir, history will brand him and his followers as traitors. Hancock: Traitors, Mr. Dickinson? To what? The British crown, or the British half-crown? Fortunately there are not enough men of property in America to dictate policy John Dickinson: Perhaps not. But don't forget that most men without property would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich, than face the reality of being poor. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Treason is a charge invented by winners as an excuse for hanging the losers. John Adams: [scoffs] I have more to do than stand here and listen to you quote yourself. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Oh, that was a new one! Thomson: If any be opposed to the resolution on independence as proposed by the Colony of Virginia signify by saying... John Adams: Mr. President? Thomson: Oh, for heaven's sake, let me get through it once. [Adams tries to persuade Jefferson to stay in Philadelphia and write the Declaration of Independence rather than return home to Virginia] Thomas Jefferson: Mr. Adams, I have not seen my wife these past six months! I beg of you, Mr. Adams... John Adams: [quotes from memory] 'And we solemly declare that we will preserve our liberties, being with one mind resolved to die free men rather than to live slaves.' Thomas Jefferson "On the Necessity of Taking Up Arms," Magnificent! Why, you write ten times better than any man in Congress. Including me. For a man of only thirty-three years, you have a happy talent of composition and a remarkable felicity of expression. Now then sir: will you be a patriot? Or a lover? Thomas Jefferson: A lover. 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

: God help us. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Oh, he will, John. He will. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Revolutions come into this world like bastard children, Mr. Dickinson - half improvised and half compromised. John Adams: This is a revolution, dammit! We're going to have to offend SOMEbody! [as they stand on the sidewalk below Jefferson's apartment] John Adams: This is positively indecent! Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Oh, John, they're young and they're in love. John Adams: Not them, Franklin. Us! Standing out here, waiting for them to... I mean, what will people think? Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Don't worry, John. The history books will clean it up. John Adams: It doesn't matter. I won't be in the history books anyway, only you. Franklin did this and Franklin did that and Franklin did some other damn thing. Franklin smote the ground and out sprang George Washington, fully grown and on his horse. Franklin then electrified him with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them- Farnklin, Washington, and the horse- conducted the entire revolution by themselves. [pause] Dr. Benjamin Franklin: I like it. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: If we do not hang together, we shall most assuredly hang separately! Samuel Chase: Answer straight: what would be its purpose? Thomas Jefferson: To place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent. John Adams: [singing in the empty hall] Is anybody there?... Does anybody care?... Does anybody see... what I see? Dr. Lyman Hall: Yes, Mr. Adams, I do. John Adams: Dr. Hall, I didn't know anyone was... Dr. Lyman Hall: I'm sorry if I startled you. I couldn't sleep. In trying to resolve my dilemma I remembered something I'd once read, "that a representative owes the People not only his industry, but his judgment, and he betrays them if he sacrifices it to their opinion." [He smiles] Dr. Lyman Hall: It was written by Edmund Burke, a member of the British Parliament. [He walks to the tally board and changes his 'nay' vote to 'yea' on independence] Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Don't worry, John, the history books will clean it up. John Adams: Hmm... Well, I'll never appear in the history books anyway. Only you. Franklin did this, and Franklin did that, and Franklin did some other damn thing. Franklin smote the ground and out sprang George Washington - fully grown and on his horse. Franklin then electrified him with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them, Franklin, Washington and the horse, conducted the entire revolution all by themselves. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: [pondering] I like it. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

A rebellion is always legal in the first person, such as "our rebellion." It is only in the third person - "their rebellion" - that it becomes illegal. 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

Hancock: Gentlemen, forgive me if I don't join in the merriment, but if we are arrested now, my name is STILL THE ONLY ONE ON THE DAMN THING! Abigail: Have you forgotten what you used to say to me, I haven't. Commitment, Abby, commitment. There are only two creatures of value on the face of this earth - those with a commitment and those who require the commitment of others. Do you remember John? Richard Henry Lee: Therefore I must decline. Respectful..."lee". John Adams: Now you'll write it, Mr. J. Thomas Jefferson: Who will make me, Mr. A? John Adams: I. Thomas Jefferson: You? John Adams: Yes! [Jefferson steps up, towering over Adams, and looks down at him] Thomas Jefferson: How? [tapping his chest with the quill pen] John Adams: By physical force, if necessary. [Adams and Frankline wait expectantly on the street below Jefferson's apartment] John Adams: [reading a note tossed down from Jefferson] "Dear Mr. Adams, I am taking my wife back to bed. Kindly go away. Your obedient, T. Jefferson." Incredible! Dr. Benjamin Franklin: [chuckles] You know, perhaps I should have written the Declaration. At my age there's little doubt that the pen is mightier than the sword. McNair: Awww Sweet Jesus! [speaking of Congress] John Adams: Fat George has declared us in rebellion! Why in bloody hell can't they? [John Adams volunteers to visit New Brunswick after a report is given of Washington's soldiers being afflicted with venereal disease and alcoholism] John Adams: Wake up, Franklin, you're going to New Brunswick! Dr. Benjamin Franklin: [Half asleep] Like hell I am. What for? Hopkins: The whoring and the drinking! [Franklin gets up and marches off right behind Adams] Richard Henry Lee: You've come to the one colony that can get job done: Virginia. The land that gave us our glorious commander in chief, George Washington, will now give the congress its proposal on independence. Where Virginia goes the south is bound to follow. And where the south goes, the middle colonies go! Gentlemen, a salute to Virginia, the mother of American independence! John Adams: Incredible, we're free and he hasn't even left yet! McNair: Mr. Hopkins, you'll be pleased to meet Dr. Lyman Hall. Hopkins: I don't need a doctor, damn it. McNair: [whispering] New delegate from Georgia! Hopkins: [whispering] Well why didn't you say so? 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Tell me, Mr. Wilson, when you were a judge, how in hell did you ever make a decision? James Wilson: The decisions I made were based on legality and precendent. But there is no legality here, and certainly no precedent. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: [losing his temper] Because, it's a new idea, you CLOT! We'll be making our own precedent! John Adams: They won't be happy until they remove one of the F's from Jefferson's name! Joseph Hewes: Mr. Jefferson, nowhere do you mention deep sea fishing rights. John Adams: Oh good God! Fishing rights? How long is this piddling to go on? We have been here for three solid days! We have endured, by my count, more than eighty-five separate changes and the removal of close to four hundred words. Now, would you whip it and beat it 'til you break its spirit? I tell you, that document is a masterful expression of the American mind! [repeated line] John Adams: Oh, good God. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: As you know, the cause that we support has come to a complete standstill. Now, why do you suppose that is? Richard Henry Lee: Simple! Johnny, here, is obnoxious and disliked! John Hancock: I'm concerned over the continued absence of 1/13th of this Congress. Where is New Jersey? John Dickinson: Somewhere between New York and Pennsylvania. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: If Sam Adams can't put up with you, no one can. John Adams: You're getting at something. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: How can you tell? [During the vote on independence] Dr. Lyman Hall: Mr. President, Georgia seems to be split right down the middle on this issue - the people are against it, and I'm for it. [laughter] Dr. Lyman Hall: However, I'm afraid I'm not quite certain whether representing the people means relying on their judgment or on my own. In all fairness, until I can figure that out, I'd better lean a little on their side. Georgia says nay. John Adams: Good God, consider yourselves fortunate that you have John Adams to abuse, for no sane man would tolerate it! Edward Rutledge: [In the final vote for Independence, Rutledge wants the slavery clause removed from the Declaration, or else he will vote against independence] Well, Mr. Adams? John Adams: Well, Mr. Rutledge. Edward Rutledge: [stands] Mr. Adams, you must believe that I *will* do what I promised to do. John Adams: [stands and approaches him] What is it you want, Rutledge? Edward Rutledge: Remove the offending passage from your Declaration. John Adams: 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

Edward Rutledge: Nevertheless... remove it, or South Carolina will bury, now and forever, your dream of independence. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: John? I beg you consider what you're doing. John Adams: Mark me, Franklin... if we give in on this issue, posterity will never forgive us. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: That's probably true, but we won't hear a thing, we'll be long gone. Besides, what would posterity think we were? Demi-gods? We're men, no more no less, trying to get a nation started against greater odds than a more generous God would have allowed. First things first, John. Independence; America. If we don't secure that, what difference will the rest make? John Adams: [long pause] Jefferson, say something. Thomas Jefferson: What else is there to do? John Adams: Well, man, you're the one that wrote it. Thomas Jefferson: I *wrote* ALL of it, Mr. Adams. [stands and goes to the Declaration, crosses out the clause] John Adams: [snatches the paper from Jefferson and takes it to Rutledge] There you are, Rutlege, you have your slavery; little good may it do you, now VOTE, damn you! Edward Rutledge: [takes the paper] Mr. President, the fair colony of South Carolina... [looks at Adams] Edward Rutledge: ... says yea. John Dickinson: Fortunately, the people maintain a higher regard for their mother country. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Higher, certainly, than she feels for them. Never was such a valuable possession so stupidly and recklessly managed, than this entire continent by the British crown. Our industry discouraged, our resouces pillaged... first of all our very character stifled. We've spawned a new race here, Mr. Dikinson. Rougher, simpler; more violent, more enterprising; less refined. We're a new nationality. We require a new nation. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Congratulations, John. You just made your greatest contribution to Independence: you kept your flap shut. Hopkins: [Running out to watch a fire down the street] What's afire? Can anybody tell? Robert Livingston: Looks like the Pemberton house! George Read: It couldn't be, it's brand new! Roger Sherman: Might be the city tavern. Hopkins: [grabs Sherman] You bite your tounge, man... James Wilson: I'm different from you, John. I'm different from most of the men here. I don't want to be remembered. Thomas Jefferson: They're reading the Declaration. John Adams: Good God. How far have they gotten? Thomas Jefferson: "... to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power." [John opens the door to the Chamber] Thomson: "... independent of and superior to-" [John closes the door] John Adams: Oh, Abigail, Abigail, I have such a desire to knock heads together! John Dickinson: Tell me, Doctor, where do you stand on the question of... Dr. Lyman Hall: Independence? John Dickinson: Treason. Dr. Lyman Hall: I've no stomach for it. John Dickinson: Ahh, then be careful not to dine with John Adams. Between the fish and the soufflé, you'll find yourself hanging from an English rope. Your servant, sir. Edward Rutledge: Mr. Adams, once we achieve independence, who do you propose would govern South Carolina? John Adams: The people, of course. Edward Rutledge: Which people, sir? The people of South Carolina, or the people of Massachusetts? Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Those who would give up some of their liberty in order to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. John Dickinson: I trust, Caesar, when you're through converting the poor fellow to independency, you'll give the opposition a fair crack at him. Caesar Rodney: [chuckling] You're too late, John. Once I get 'em, they're got. [Dickinson wants "tyrant" removed from the Declaration] Thomas Jefferson: Just a moment, Mr. Thomson. I do not consent. The king is a tyrant whether we say so or not. We might as well say so. Charles Thomson: But I already scratched it out. Thomas Jefferson: Then scratch it back in! John Hancock: Put it back, Mr. Thomson. The King will remain a tyrant. [repeated lines] Lewis Morris: New York abstains, courteously. Charles Thomson: [recording vote] New York abstains. Lewis Morris: Courteously. John Adams: Franklin, where in God's name have you been? Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Right here, John, being preserved for posterity. Do you like it? [John walks around to look at the painting] John Adams: It stinks. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: As ever, the soul of tact. John Adams: Well, the man's no Botticelli. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: And the subject's no Venus. John Adams: Franklin, where were you when I needed you? You should have heard what I suffered in there. Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Oh, I heard, all right. Along with the rest of Philadelphia. Lord, your voice is piercing, John. John Adams: Well, I just wish to Heaven my arguments were. Hopkins: McNair! McNair: [behind him] Your rum! 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

: Where'd you go for it, man - Jamaica? John Adams: Disgusting. Look at him, Franklin. Virginia's most famous lover! Thomas Jefferson: [not having seen his wife in six months] Virginia abstains. Richard Henry Lee: I'll leave tonight! Why, hell, I'll leave right now if you like! I'll just stop off in Stratford long enough to refresh the missus, and then straight to the matter! Edward Rutledge: Enter Delaware, tria juncti in uno. Col. Thomas McKean: Speak plain, Rutledge. Ya Know I can't follow a word of your damn French. Edward Rutledge: It's Latin, Colonel McKean, a tribute to the eternal peace and harmony of the Delaware delegation. Col. Thomas McKean: What're ya sayin', man? Ya know perfectly well neither Rodney nor I can stand the sight of this louse! John Adams: Now, will you be a lover or a patriot? Thomas Jefferson: A lover. John Adams: No! Thomas Jefferson: But I burn, Mr. A. John Adams: [emphasized] So do I, Mr. J! Thomas Jefferson: [astonished] You? Roger Sherman: [astonished] You do? Dr. Benjamin Franklin: [astonished] John! Robert Livingston: [Pondering] Who'd have thought it? Abigail: [sung] Compliments of the Concord Ladies Coffee Club, / And the Sisterhood of the Truro Synagogue, / And the Friday Evening Baptist Sewing Circle, / And the Holy Christian Sisters of St. Claire. / All for you, John. / I am as I ever was and ever shall be./ Yours, yours, yours! John Adams: [spoken] Abigail, what's in these kegs? Abigail: [sung] Saltpetre, John! John Adams: [singing] 'For I have crossed the Rubicon, let the bridge be burned behind me, come what may, come what may! [shouted] John Adams: Commitment! John Adams: Tell me, Mr. Thomson, out of curiosity. Do you stand with Mr. Dickinson, or do you stand with me? Thomson: I stand with the General. Well, lately, I've had the oddest feeling that he's been writing to me. Thomson: [reading from Washington's letter] I have been in expectation of receiving a reply on the subject of my last fifteen dispatches. Is anybody there? Does anybody care? Does anybody care? Thomson: The count, being twelve to none, with one abstention, the resolution on independence *is* adopted. Thomas Jefferson: Tonight, I'm leaving for home. Hancock: On business? 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

John Adams: Franklin, what are you saying? Dr. Benjamin Franklin: It's a luxury we can't afford. John Adams: A half million souls in chains and Dr. Franklin calls it a luxury! Dr. Benjamin Franklin: The issue here is independence. 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制
