This sort of thing used to be civilized. You’d hit a guy, he’d whack you, done. But with Benedict … at the end of this, he’d _better_ not know you’re involved, not know your names or think you’re dead, because he’ll kill ya, and _then_ he’ll go to work on ya. ---

We’re men, no more no less, trying to get a nation started against greater odds than a more generous God would have allowed. First things first, John: Independence. America. If we don’t secure that, what difference will the rest make? ---

You think I’m licked. You all think I’m licked. Well, I’m not licked. And I’m going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause. Even if the room gets filled with lies like these, and the Taylors and all their armies come marching into this place. ---
