Quote
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]
