Samuel Chase:
Face facts, Mr. Adams. A group of drunk and disorderly recruits against the entire British army, the finest musketmen on Earth. How can we win? How can we even hope to survive?
John Adams:
Answer me straight, Chase: if you thought we *could* beat the Redcoats, would Maryland say yea to independence?
Samuel Chase:
Well, I suppose...
John Adams:
No supposing. Would you or wouldn't you?
Samuel Chase:
Very well, Mr. Adams. Yes, we would.
John Adams:
Then come with me to New Brunswick and see for yourself.
Col. Thomas McKean:
John, are you mad?
Dr. Josiah Bartlett:
You heard what Washington said. It's a shambles.
Stephen Hopkins:
They're pushing you into it, Johnny!
John Adams:
[waving their concerns off]
What do you say, Chase?
Dr. Josiah Bartlett:
Go ahead, Sam. It sounds lively as hell up there.
Samuel Chase:
All right, why not? And maybe it'll be John Adams who comes to his senses.
