CONGRESS:
Sit down, John! Sit down, John!
For God's sake, John, sit down!
Sit down, John! Sit down, John!
For God's sake, John, sit down!

Someone oughta open up a window!

It's ninety degrees! Have mercy, John, please
It's hot as hell in Philadephia!

Someone oughta open up a window!

ADAMS:
I say vote yes! Vote yes! Vote for independency!

CONGRESS:
Someone oughta open up a window!

ADAMS:
I say vote yes!

CONGRESS:
Sit down, John!

ADAMS:
Vote for independency!

CONGRESS:
Someone oughta open up a window!
No, no, no! Too many flies! Too many flies!
But it's hot as hell in Philadelphia!
Someone oughta open up a window!
Can't we compromise here?

ADAMS:
Vote yes!

CONGRESS:
No, too many flies here!

ADAMS:
Vote yes!

CONGRESS:
Oh for God's sake, John, sit down!

ADAMS:
Oh, good God!
Consider yourself fortunate that you have John Adams to abuse,
for no sane man would tolerate it!

CONGRESS:
John, you're a bore; we've heard this before
Now for God's sake, John, sit down!

ADAMS:
I say vote yes!

CONGRESS:
No!

ADAMS:
Vote yes!

CONGRESS:
No!

ADAMS:
Vote for independency!

CONGRESS:
Someone oughta open up a window!

ADAMS:
I say vote yes!

CONGRESS:
Sit down, John!

Vote for independency!

Will someone shut that man up?

ADAMS:
Never!
