Quote
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:
[singing]
That is true, he annoys me quite a lot. But still I'd rather trot to Mr. Adams' new gavotte.
John Dickinson:
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 with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor.
