[John Adams] It doesn’t matter. I won’t be in the history books anyway, only you. ‘Franklin did this, and Franklin did that, and Franklin did some other damn thing.’ Franklin smote the ground, and out sprang George Washington, fully grown and on his horse. Franklin then electrified him with his miraculous lightning rod, and the three of them - Franklin, Washington, and the horse - conducted the entire Revolution by themselves.

[Ben Franklin] I like it!

Lois, Clark Kent may seem like just a mild-mannered reporter, but listen, not only does he know how to treat his editor-in-chief with the proper respect, not only does he have a snappy, punchy prose style, but he is, in my forty years in this business, the fastest typist I’ve ever seen.
