00:25 Abigail in my last letter I wrote you
00:48 Mark me Franklin
00:12 In my case hanging won't be so bad
00:04 Of all the committees of this congress
00:17 Where does Georgia stand on the question of independence
01:06 What a beautiful waltz
00:35 From the Commander
00:51 If it's mine to give
00:33 Now for God's sake
00:47 It's 90 degrees
00:20 I was told Congress convenes at ten
00:19 No vote has ever had to be unanimous
00:08 Do you have the honor to be Dr
00:27 Caesar Rodney of Delaware
00:48 How did you leave Caesar
01:06 It's here a Lee
00:20 Dickinson's shadow
00:53 Hold your damn horses
00:20 Would you be a doctor of medicine or theology
00:05 That man would depress a hyena
00:22 Lyman Hall of Georgia
00:26 The new delegate from Georgia
00:08 I've no objections
00:07 I can't say I'm very fond of the United States of...
00:22 Ya Know I can't follow a word of your damn French
00:10 Can anybody tell
00:11 To hell with New York
00:45 Seen any fighting
00:07 New York abstains
00:10 They're reading the Declaration
00:11 For heaven's sake
00:12 Have you eaten
00:31 I wonder if we might prevail upon Mr
00:10 You'll give yourself an attack of apoplexy if...
00:29 And we've got Maryland
00:15 Enough socializing
00:17 You have us playing the violin
00:51 Come to Philadelphia
00:38 My husband is not yet up
00:53 Leave me alo one
00:46 For one solid year
00:06 But nothing's coming
00:08 Been living too high again
00:25 And is that how new nations are formed
00:10 You come into this world screamin' no
00:38 Do something about that damn dog
00:53 I'm very lonely
01:09 Where every able bodied whore in the co
00:15 'For I have crossed the Rubicon
00:08 Where'd you go for it
00:22 Where do you stand on the question of
00:49 You're a man of property
00:18 Tell us about yourself We've heard precious little
00:20 What are you doing down here
00:46 What sort of declaration
00:31 I'm going to the tavern
00:56 What am I going to do
01:08 We're waiting for the scratch scratch scratch
00:13 Nothing to fear
00:56 It so happens that the word is UN alienable
00:12 I'll leave tonight
00:22 I'm still from Massachusetts John
00:08 We are about to brave the storm in a skiff made of paper
00:46 Molasses to rum
00:10 Family business
00:58 Tell me Mr thomson out of curiosity
00:58 Compliments of the Concord Ladies Coffee Club
00:16 You'll give the opposition a fair crack at him
00:07 I have such a desire to knock heads together
00:04 Sweet Jesus
00:47 You must tell me what it is
00:11 If Sam Adams can't put up with you
00:23 When you were a judge
01:02 He never speaks his passions
00:16 How do we compensate for that shortage
01:10 It's a masterpiece
00:22 When are they going to make up their minds
00:48 I beg you to remember that we still have friends in England
00:36 Nowhere do you mention deep sea fishing rights
