Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:16,148 --> 00:00:18,673
Mere president
will not do.
2
00:00:20,386 --> 00:00:22,581
There are presidents
of fire companies
3
00:00:22,622 --> 00:00:25,887
and cricket clubs.
4
00:00:25,925 --> 00:00:29,622
This new federal government
must command respect
5
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:33,621
and the titles of federal office
must ensure that respect.
6
00:00:33,666 --> 00:00:36,533
How long does Mr. Adams
intend to waste this assembly's time
7
00:00:36,569 --> 00:00:38,867
on matters of no import?
8
00:00:38,905 --> 00:00:42,204
No import?
No imp...
9
00:00:42,241 --> 00:00:46,007
There is nothing
of greater importance, Mr. MacClay.
10
00:00:46,045 --> 00:00:48,570
The office of president
11
00:00:48,614 --> 00:00:51,310
must have no equal
in the world.
12
00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:55,311
Neither dignity
nor authority
13
00:00:55,354 --> 00:00:57,447
can be supported
in human minds
14
00:00:57,490 --> 00:00:59,515
without the weight
15
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:02,585
of splendor
and majesty, sir.
16
00:01:02,628 --> 00:01:04,823
Does the vice president
have a title in mind?
17
00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:08,197
I do indeed, sir.
I have several.
18
00:01:11,203 --> 00:01:13,637
His Highness the President.
19
00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:20,672
Or His Esteemed Majesty
the President.
20
00:01:22,982 --> 00:01:26,941
Or His Excellency
21
00:01:26,986 --> 00:01:30,012
the Supreme Commander
in Chief.
22
00:01:35,595 --> 00:01:38,325
Or something of the sort.
23
00:01:38,364 --> 00:01:40,093
Ahem!
24
00:01:40,132 --> 00:01:42,965
Perhaps Mr. Adams
has not had occasion
25
00:01:43,002 --> 00:01:44,526
to peruse our Constitution.
26
00:01:45,938 --> 00:01:49,533
It explicitly states,
27
00:01:49,575 --> 00:01:52,510
"No title of nobility shall be granted
by the United States."
28
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:55,639
These are not titles of heredity
that I am proposing...
29
00:01:57,049 --> 00:01:59,176
but titles conferred
for merit
30
00:01:59,218 --> 00:02:01,413
and titles that will
only accompany
31
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:03,945
positions of high
federal responsibility.
32
00:02:07,927 --> 00:02:09,189
Indeed.
Federal.
33
00:02:09,228 --> 00:02:11,219
Ridiculous.
34
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,495
The motion before us
is that the president
35
00:02:16,535 --> 00:02:19,732
be addressed
as His Highness
36
00:02:19,772 --> 00:02:22,741
the President
of the United States of America
37
00:02:22,775 --> 00:02:25,505
and protector of the rights
of the same.
38
00:02:25,544 --> 00:02:27,375
Those in favor?
39
00:02:28,981 --> 00:02:30,846
Aye.
40
00:02:32,885 --> 00:02:34,648
- Those opposed?
- No!
41
00:02:34,687 --> 00:02:36,484
- No!
- No!
42
00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:44,926
His Rotundity
43
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:48,127
the Vice President
and Duke of Braintree.
44
00:02:48,167 --> 00:02:50,533
I'd second that, indeed.
45
00:05:03,002 --> 00:05:06,130
His Rotundity,
the Duke of Braintree.
46
00:05:06,172 --> 00:05:08,037
You should have consulted
the president first.
47
00:05:08,073 --> 00:05:10,132
All this talk
of titles.
48
00:05:10,176 --> 00:05:12,144
What is the job
of the vice president
49
00:05:12,178 --> 00:05:14,544
if not to advise
the president?
50
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:17,572
When the president requires
your advice, John,
51
00:05:17,616 --> 00:05:20,949
he will most surely ask for it.
Patience.
52
00:05:20,986 --> 00:05:23,819
I was merely trying to impress
upon the Senate
53
00:05:23,856 --> 00:05:25,721
the importance
of cloaking the presidency
54
00:05:25,758 --> 00:05:27,248
in the mantle
of authority.
55
00:05:29,695 --> 00:05:33,461
Now I have seen
what the future holds, Abigail.
56
00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:37,730
Men and manners,
principles, opinions...
57
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:41,331
they've altered
very much in this country.
58
00:05:41,373 --> 00:05:43,739
Authority is
our only protection
59
00:05:43,776 --> 00:05:46,836
against discord,
civil war and sedition.
60
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:48,972
Now the office
of the president, no doubt,
61
00:05:49,014 --> 00:05:51,039
is sufficient
to establish such authority.
62
00:05:51,083 --> 00:05:52,550
But we must not
be surprised
63
00:05:52,585 --> 00:05:54,382
if we ever find
we need a monarch
64
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:56,320
- to keep us from coming asunder!
- You would do well
65
00:05:56,355 --> 00:05:58,585
to keep your thoughts
to yourself, John.
66
00:05:58,624 --> 00:06:01,684
People will say
that your mind
67
00:06:01,727 --> 00:06:04,787
has been tainted
by foreign courts.
68
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:07,264
They are already saying
such things in Boston.
69
00:06:07,299 --> 00:06:09,460
A man cannot go to Europe
70
00:06:09,501 --> 00:06:11,401
without being tainted,
71
00:06:11,437 --> 00:06:13,428
as you well know.
72
00:06:22,414 --> 00:06:24,712
As I was sent there
on the people's business,
73
00:06:24,750 --> 00:06:26,650
if some taint
has stuck to me,
74
00:06:26,685 --> 00:06:30,314
perhaps the people ought to
pay me for the damages.
75
00:06:31,323 --> 00:06:33,291
Where are you going?
76
00:06:33,325 --> 00:06:35,885
We'll finish this conversation
when you regain your senses.
77
00:06:38,063 --> 00:06:39,792
I, uh...
78
00:06:39,832 --> 00:06:43,199
I was not aware
that I had lost them.
79
00:06:43,235 --> 00:06:44,702
Well, you have.
80
00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:47,297
Hold a moment, hold.
81
00:06:49,775 --> 00:06:53,211
I shall endeavor
to be more patient...
82
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:56,548
and I will look to you
83
00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:59,380
to correct me
if I do not.
84
00:07:02,488 --> 00:07:06,481
I am sorry that I was not
here earlier, John.
85
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,261
But I cannot
be with you always.
86
00:07:12,464 --> 00:07:14,989
We cannot get by
on your salary.
87
00:07:15,034 --> 00:07:17,594
$5,000 a years
88
00:07:17,636 --> 00:07:19,126
is hardly worthy
of such an office.
89
00:07:19,171 --> 00:07:22,072
The farm brings us an income
and someone must tend to it.
90
00:07:22,107 --> 00:07:23,438
Then we will find a tenant.
91
00:07:23,475 --> 00:07:24,806
There are none to be had.
92
00:07:24,843 --> 00:07:26,310
Then leave the place
93
00:07:26,345 --> 00:07:29,212
to the birds of the air
and the beasts of the field.
94
00:07:37,923 --> 00:07:39,823
I need my ballast.
95
00:07:39,858 --> 00:07:43,453
You need to mind
your tongue...
96
00:07:44,863 --> 00:07:47,024
nothing more.
97
00:07:51,904 --> 00:07:54,134
Not that you will
listen to me.
98
00:08:06,085 --> 00:08:07,848
Stay
99
00:08:07,886 --> 00:08:11,879
and you shall
see me reformed.
100
00:08:14,026 --> 00:08:16,426
I will stay with you
101
00:08:16,462 --> 00:08:19,989
until Congress
adjourns.
102
00:08:48,527 --> 00:08:51,690
You must find Philadelphia
much changed, Mr. Jefferson.
103
00:08:51,730 --> 00:08:55,393
More changed than I could have
imagined, Mr. Hamilton.
104
00:08:55,434 --> 00:08:58,835
Not the city itself. All cities swallow
everything in their way.
105
00:08:58,871 --> 00:09:01,396
That's no surprise to me.
That's why I abhor them.
106
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,409
But I've been, as you know,
in revolutionary France,
107
00:09:04,443 --> 00:09:06,673
where the streets
are filled
108
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:09,545
with the songs of liberty
and brotherhood
109
00:09:09,581 --> 00:09:13,142
and the overthrow
of our ancient tyrannies of Europe.
110
00:09:13,185 --> 00:09:15,676
And to return
from there to this,
111
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:19,088
our cradle of revolution
and find the dinner table chatter
112
00:09:19,124 --> 00:09:21,786
is all of money
and banks
113
00:09:21,827 --> 00:09:25,092
and authority
is an unwelcome surprise.
114
00:09:27,232 --> 00:09:30,360
Unwelcome perhaps,
but necessary.
115
00:09:30,402 --> 00:09:33,428
I must admit,
Mr. Hamilton,
116
00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:36,464
I am a little uncertain
117
00:09:36,508 --> 00:09:38,806
as to the purpose
of the Treasury Department.
118
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,648
No doubt its function
will reveal itself to me in good time.
119
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:46,942
The future prosperity
of this nation
120
00:09:46,985 --> 00:09:49,920
rests chiefly
in trade.
121
00:09:49,955 --> 00:09:52,082
Trade depends,
among other things,
122
00:09:52,124 --> 00:09:54,718
on the willingness
of other nations to lend us money.
123
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,594
And how would you propose
to establish international credit?
124
00:09:58,630 --> 00:10:01,793
Our first step
would be to incur a national debt.
125
00:10:01,834 --> 00:10:05,099
The greater the debt,
the greater the credit.
126
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:08,197
And to that end
I have recommended to the president
127
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,437
that Congress adopt
all the debts
128
00:10:11,477 --> 00:10:14,674
incurred by the individual states
during the war
129
00:10:14,713 --> 00:10:16,180
through a national bank.
130
00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:17,944
The idea being
131
00:10:17,983 --> 00:10:20,952
that if the states
owe Congress money,
132
00:10:20,986 --> 00:10:24,717
then other nations will feel
more inclined to lend it to us.
133
00:10:26,658 --> 00:10:29,286
If the states are
indebted to a central authority,
134
00:10:29,328 --> 00:10:32,229
it increases the power
of the central government.
135
00:10:32,264 --> 00:10:33,856
There you have it
exactly.
136
00:10:33,899 --> 00:10:35,628
The greater the government's
responsibility,
137
00:10:35,667 --> 00:10:37,157
the greater
its authority.
138
00:10:39,471 --> 00:10:42,440
The moneyed interest
in this country
139
00:10:42,474 --> 00:10:44,499
is all in the north,
140
00:10:44,543 --> 00:10:48,206
so the wealth and power
would inevitably be concentrated there
141
00:10:48,247 --> 00:10:49,737
in a federal
government...
142
00:10:51,650 --> 00:10:53,675
to the expense
of the south.
143
00:10:53,719 --> 00:10:55,846
If that is the case,
144
00:10:55,888 --> 00:10:59,289
it is unavoidable
if the Union
145
00:10:59,324 --> 00:11:01,258
is to be preserved.
146
00:11:01,293 --> 00:11:03,318
I fear our revolution
will have been in vain
147
00:11:03,362 --> 00:11:05,660
if a Virginia farmer
is to be held in hock
148
00:11:05,697 --> 00:11:07,324
to a New York stockjobber
149
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:10,164
who in turn is in hock
to a London banker.
150
00:11:11,904 --> 00:11:14,964
The opportunities
for avarice
151
00:11:15,007 --> 00:11:16,872
and corruption would
152
00:11:16,909 --> 00:11:19,343
certainly prove
irresistible.
153
00:11:19,378 --> 00:11:22,836
There you have it.
As I have heard said,
154
00:11:22,881 --> 00:11:26,749
"If men were angels then no government
would be necessary."
155
00:11:29,121 --> 00:11:30,782
Sadly that is
very well said.
156
00:11:30,822 --> 00:11:33,313
But there can
be no question,
157
00:11:33,358 --> 00:11:36,919
our nation cannot
bind together
158
00:11:36,962 --> 00:11:39,829
without powerful
central government.
159
00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:42,698
But we must
also accommodate
160
00:11:42,734 --> 00:11:44,725
the needs of our
constituent states,
161
00:11:44,770 --> 00:11:46,738
both north and south.
162
00:11:48,807 --> 00:11:52,834
The power of one
must check and balance the other.
163
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:55,346
And to that end
we must dedicate
164
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:57,473
all of our energies,
and our care.
165
00:12:03,488 --> 00:12:05,456
I would like to
166
00:12:05,490 --> 00:12:08,948
welcome Mr. Jefferson home.
167
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,192
Mr. Secretary
of State.
168
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:17,827
Hear, hear.
169
00:12:18,971 --> 00:12:20,734
Mr. President,
gentlemen.
170
00:12:25,177 --> 00:12:28,772
There are cabinet matters
that I would like to discuss.
171
00:12:29,781 --> 00:12:33,342
If you would
excuse us, Mr. Adams.
172
00:12:35,587 --> 00:12:38,852
Please convey my regards
to your wife.
173
00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:45,920
Gentlemen.
174
00:12:47,032 --> 00:12:49,091
John.
175
00:12:51,003 --> 00:12:53,767
Mr. President.
176
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,332
Mr. President
and nothing more.
177
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:24,500
The president
must not be allowed
178
00:13:24,536 --> 00:13:26,527
to remove cabinet officers
on whatever whim.
179
00:13:26,571 --> 00:13:29,267
- Hear, hear.
- The Senate must advise and consent
180
00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:32,800
to their removal
the same as to their appointment.
181
00:13:32,844 --> 00:13:34,937
Mr. MacClay's bill
is an affront
182
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:37,312
to the authority
of the executive branch.
183
00:13:37,349 --> 00:13:39,681
- Hear, hear.
- It seeks nothing less
184
00:13:39,718 --> 00:13:43,051
than to indenture
the president to this body's will.
185
00:13:43,088 --> 00:13:45,522
- Hear, hear!
- Mr. Pinckney,
186
00:13:45,557 --> 00:13:48,526
the British Parliamentary
model may be instructive here.
187
00:13:50,862 --> 00:13:53,092
The Senate would no doubt benefit
from the vice president's
188
00:13:53,131 --> 00:13:54,792
learning and erudition
on the subject,
189
00:13:54,833 --> 00:13:57,028
but I respectfully
remind him
190
00:13:57,069 --> 00:14:00,436
that barring a tie in voting,
he has no say in the matter.
191
00:14:01,907 --> 00:14:05,741
I am in no need
of reminders, Mr. MacClay.
192
00:14:05,777 --> 00:14:07,642
I concur with
Mr. MacClay's opinion.
193
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,273
The president must not have unlimited
authority in cabinet matters.
194
00:14:10,315 --> 00:14:13,113
Hear, hear.
195
00:14:18,523 --> 00:14:21,287
The role of vice president
196
00:14:21,326 --> 00:14:24,386
is the most insignificant
office ever devised
197
00:14:24,429 --> 00:14:25,896
by the mind of man.
198
00:14:29,835 --> 00:14:32,929
No, I assure you
it is punishment
199
00:14:32,971 --> 00:14:35,439
to hear other men
talk five hours a day
200
00:14:35,474 --> 00:14:39,274
and not be at liberty
to talk myself.
201
00:14:39,311 --> 00:14:40,801
Me of all people.
202
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:44,675
A torture for you,
to be sure.
203
00:14:44,716 --> 00:14:46,445
Most of those I hear,
they're too young.
204
00:14:46,485 --> 00:14:49,352
They're too inexperienced.
205
00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:50,878
They're too fractious.
206
00:14:53,058 --> 00:14:56,824
I was of a mind to refuse
the vice presidency entirely, you know.
207
00:14:58,463 --> 00:15:01,728
And half the Electoral
College were determined to oblige me.
208
00:15:06,538 --> 00:15:08,733
There are rumors.
209
00:15:08,774 --> 00:15:10,765
What rumors?
210
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:13,300
Some say
intrigue was used.
211
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:15,540
To what possible purpose?
212
00:15:15,580 --> 00:15:18,743
Many were urged to withhold
their votes for you.
213
00:15:18,784 --> 00:15:22,220
It was deemed
an essential point of caution
214
00:15:22,254 --> 00:15:25,951
to see that your showing not
embarrass General Washington;
215
00:15:29,027 --> 00:15:31,894
That he be elected
unanimously.
216
00:15:31,930 --> 00:15:35,388
Who is the author
of this dirty scheme?
217
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:36,992
No one can
say for certain.
218
00:15:37,035 --> 00:15:39,026
Good God.
219
00:15:42,707 --> 00:15:45,471
To be used in such
a despicable manner.
220
00:15:45,510 --> 00:15:46,977
I am sorry
to be the one...
221
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:49,480
No no, Dr. Rush.
222
00:15:49,514 --> 00:15:51,948
I thank you
for your frankness.
223
00:15:54,219 --> 00:15:57,780
And thus we set
an example for the world.
224
00:15:59,424 --> 00:16:03,360
Tales of dirty and duplicitous intrigues
in our first election.
225
00:16:07,599 --> 00:16:10,500
I hear that we are called
Federalists now
226
00:16:10,535 --> 00:16:13,504
because we believe
in strong central government.
227
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,903
And our opponents
228
00:16:16,942 --> 00:16:20,173
now style themselves
Republicans
229
00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:23,648
because they believe
in the sovereignty of the people.
230
00:16:23,682 --> 00:16:25,946
Ha!
231
00:16:25,984 --> 00:16:27,918
I dread a division
of our republic
232
00:16:27,953 --> 00:16:30,945
into parties, Doctor.
233
00:16:30,989 --> 00:16:33,355
Yet that is what
I see is happening.
234
00:16:41,833 --> 00:16:45,064
It is in a state of almost permanent
revolution, Monticello.
235
00:16:45,103 --> 00:16:47,037
No sooner
have I completed it
236
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:49,063
than I wish to tear
it down and start again.
237
00:16:49,107 --> 00:16:52,565
I want to build
a new portico.
238
00:16:52,611 --> 00:16:54,078
Triangular pediment
239
00:16:54,112 --> 00:16:57,741
on four great pillars.
240
00:16:57,782 --> 00:17:00,910
- Is it not magnificent, John?
- Yes.
241
00:17:00,952 --> 00:17:03,182
Very nice.
242
00:17:04,556 --> 00:17:08,117
But it is not to be as yet.
When duty calls...
243
00:17:10,629 --> 00:17:13,860
We feared for your safety
in Paris, Thomas.
244
00:17:16,401 --> 00:17:19,632
The papers are still full of the most
alarming reports.
245
00:17:19,671 --> 00:17:21,571
Yes, a Bastille
commander's head
246
00:17:21,606 --> 00:17:24,074
carried through
the streets on a pike.
247
00:17:25,243 --> 00:17:27,336
One officer hanged
from a lamppost,
248
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:30,371
another one cut to pieces,
his heart torn from his body
249
00:17:30,415 --> 00:17:33,612
and brandished out the window
of the Hotel de Ville.
250
00:17:33,652 --> 00:17:36,052
You cannot expect
a people so long oppressed
251
00:17:36,087 --> 00:17:39,022
to be transported
from despotism
252
00:17:39,057 --> 00:17:41,082
to liberty
on a feather bed.
253
00:17:43,094 --> 00:17:46,188
I believe the violence
will end soon enough,
254
00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:47,994
as it has here.
255
00:17:49,301 --> 00:17:51,735
But should everything
be pulled down,
256
00:17:51,770 --> 00:17:54,136
what shall be
put in its place?
257
00:17:54,172 --> 00:17:57,039
Given the entrenched
divisions within French society
258
00:17:57,075 --> 00:17:58,542
which you witnessed,
259
00:17:58,577 --> 00:18:01,205
I believe the most
we can achieve
260
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:04,079
is a monarchy limited
in its power to act
261
00:18:04,115 --> 00:18:05,707
by a parliament
on the British model.
262
00:18:07,752 --> 00:18:11,085
That is what I told
the Marquis de Lafayette.
263
00:18:11,122 --> 00:18:13,488
Do you mean to say that
you involved yourself
264
00:18:13,525 --> 00:18:15,823
in revolutionary activities
265
00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:17,919
as our acting ambassador?
266
00:18:17,963 --> 00:18:21,091
Lafayette sought my advice
267
00:18:21,132 --> 00:18:24,101
on the drafting
of a declaration of the rights of man
268
00:18:24,135 --> 00:18:27,696
and I was happy
to oblige, yes.
269
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:30,299
I was in the Assembly
Nationale when it was proclaimed.
270
00:18:30,342 --> 00:18:32,469
In fact, you could say
the Constitution of France
271
00:18:32,510 --> 00:18:34,569
was conceived in my parlor.
272
00:18:36,314 --> 00:18:39,215
These are dangerous
grounds, Thomas.
273
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:41,775
The French court
was well aware of my involvement.
274
00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:44,755
They thought that I would be
a moderating influence
275
00:18:44,789 --> 00:18:47,121
on the more hot-headed
members of the assembly.
276
00:18:47,158 --> 00:18:50,559
They seek only to emulate
our experience, John.
277
00:18:50,595 --> 00:18:53,894
We must support them.
278
00:19:02,173 --> 00:19:05,665
I am not
as sanguine as you
279
00:19:05,710 --> 00:19:07,177
about the prospects
in France.
280
00:19:07,212 --> 00:19:10,409
Should King Louis
and his advisors
281
00:19:10,448 --> 00:19:13,611
not deliver
these promised reforms,
282
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:16,018
well then, this violence
will only escalate.
283
00:19:16,054 --> 00:19:19,990
The king himself could
become a victim of it
284
00:19:20,025 --> 00:19:22,858
and England and Spain
will rightfully fear
285
00:19:22,894 --> 00:19:24,953
the spread of revolution
across Europe.
286
00:19:24,996 --> 00:19:27,556
They will be forced
to declare war
287
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:29,692
to protect their monarchies.
288
00:19:31,436 --> 00:19:33,734
Our treaty with France
will draw us
289
00:19:33,772 --> 00:19:35,330
into a conflict
that we can ill afford.
290
00:19:37,776 --> 00:19:40,677
France is in the throes
of a violent birth.
291
00:19:40,712 --> 00:19:42,703
We should rejoice.
292
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:48,046
We should rejoice, John.
293
00:19:48,086 --> 00:19:50,884
And is that the advice
you are giving the president?
294
00:19:50,922 --> 00:19:52,890
We should rejoice?
295
00:19:57,896 --> 00:20:00,057
When the president
seeks my counsel,
296
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,191
I give him
what advice I can.
297
00:20:02,233 --> 00:20:05,293
It's not always
welcomed by the cabinet.
298
00:20:07,372 --> 00:20:08,999
I would know
nothing about that.
299
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,940
- No.
- No.
300
00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:21,777
I trust you will find
President Washington
301
00:20:21,820 --> 00:20:24,448
is as independent-minded
as ever.
302
00:20:26,357 --> 00:20:28,052
He has too much power,
as I feared,
303
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:29,526
and the Congress
has too little.
304
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:31,188
He is a monarch
in all but name.
305
00:20:31,229 --> 00:20:35,188
A chief magistrate, once in power,
rarely leaves it willingly.
306
00:20:35,233 --> 00:20:38,600
I am no believer
in monarchy as such,
307
00:20:38,636 --> 00:20:41,366
as you well know.
308
00:20:42,507 --> 00:20:45,203
But I have seen the result
of too many mobs
309
00:20:45,243 --> 00:20:47,473
to entrust them
with the government, sir.
310
00:20:47,512 --> 00:20:51,004
The tree of liberty
must be refreshed from time to time
311
00:20:51,049 --> 00:20:53,643
with the blood
of patriots and tyrants.
312
00:20:53,685 --> 00:20:56,381
It is a natural manure.
313
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,321
You must be
careful, John.
314
00:21:06,364 --> 00:21:08,730
I find him
much changed.
315
00:21:21,513 --> 00:21:23,640
Add the usual
salutation.
316
00:21:23,681 --> 00:21:26,946
"Your humble servant...
et cetera, et cetera."
317
00:21:26,985 --> 00:21:28,452
Yes, sir.
318
00:21:28,486 --> 00:21:31,944
Thank you, Colonel Smith.
That's all for now.
319
00:21:33,258 --> 00:21:35,283
Perhaps I may
indulge your patience
320
00:21:35,326 --> 00:21:39,194
with a personal
request, sir?
321
00:21:39,230 --> 00:21:40,788
A matter I've been meaning
322
00:21:40,832 --> 00:21:43,198
to broach with you
for some time now.
323
00:21:43,234 --> 00:21:45,395
An increase
in your meager salary
324
00:21:45,436 --> 00:21:47,063
is quite out of
the question, Colonel.
325
00:21:47,105 --> 00:21:48,970
I'm sorry.
326
00:21:49,007 --> 00:21:52,135
It's not that, sir.
327
00:21:52,177 --> 00:21:54,509
Though I am
without fame or fortune,
328
00:21:54,546 --> 00:21:56,013
such as I am,
329
00:21:56,047 --> 00:21:58,379
I aspire
to your daughter's love.
330
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:02,381
I beg your pardon?
331
00:22:02,420 --> 00:22:04,513
My dau...
332
00:22:12,864 --> 00:22:16,800
what was that
about my daughter?
333
00:22:19,204 --> 00:22:20,671
You mean to say
334
00:22:20,705 --> 00:22:23,799
you vetoed Colonel Smith's
proposal?
335
00:22:23,842 --> 00:22:26,834
I did.
Nabby is a child.
336
00:22:26,878 --> 00:22:30,211
Your child, had you not noticed,
is a young woman
337
00:22:30,248 --> 00:22:31,806
of great sensibility.
338
00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:34,080
Far too much
sensibility, I think.
339
00:22:36,020 --> 00:22:39,217
Her mother had too much sensibility
at her age to be very prudent.
340
00:22:40,325 --> 00:22:42,555
- Far too much.
- And it won her a heart
341
00:22:42,594 --> 00:22:45,085
of as much sensibility
as hers.
342
00:22:48,199 --> 00:22:50,599
Nabby is content with the match.
We should be as well.
343
00:23:00,712 --> 00:23:03,647
Mr. Jefferson stands
at the head of a faction,
344
00:23:03,681 --> 00:23:07,208
in my judgment, subversive to
the principles of good government
345
00:23:07,252 --> 00:23:11,154
and dangerous to the peace,
union and happiness of this country.
346
00:23:11,189 --> 00:23:14,249
Any such faction,
if it exists, Mr. Hamilton,
347
00:23:14,292 --> 00:23:17,056
is grossly underrepresented
in this cabinet
348
00:23:17,095 --> 00:23:19,495
which persists
in its determination
349
00:23:19,530 --> 00:23:21,794
to replace
colonial subjugation
350
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:23,494
by Great Britain
351
00:23:23,534 --> 00:23:26,332
with equally pernicious
financial subjugation...
352
00:23:26,371 --> 00:23:29,238
Enough, Mr. Jefferson.
Enough.
353
00:23:31,276 --> 00:23:33,938
You will hereafter
show more charity
354
00:23:33,978 --> 00:23:37,141
for each other's opinions and...
Mr. Jefferson!
355
00:23:37,181 --> 00:23:38,512
I will not have
this government undermined
356
00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:41,279
by party politics
and acts!
357
00:23:44,822 --> 00:23:46,813
John.
358
00:23:46,858 --> 00:23:48,416
Thomas.
359
00:23:48,459 --> 00:23:50,757
Mr. Hamilton.
360
00:23:56,567 --> 00:23:59,559
Well, I am very sorry
361
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:01,595
to intrude
upon your affairs.
362
00:24:03,341 --> 00:24:07,004
I only came to say that I am leaving
for Peacefield in the morning,
363
00:24:07,045 --> 00:24:10,572
what with the yellow fever
season approaching,
364
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:13,607
and my daughter
is to be married.
365
00:24:15,887 --> 00:24:18,913
I believe that you know the groom...
Colonel William Smith.
366
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:22,120
Colonel Smith was
under my command at Long Island.
367
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,651
He served with great
distinction.
368
00:24:24,696 --> 00:24:26,664
I congratulate you
369
00:24:26,698 --> 00:24:28,962
on such a fitting match
for your daughter.
370
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,025
Thank you, sir.
371
00:24:34,072 --> 00:24:36,040
Yes, well,
good day.
372
00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:38,975
- Mr. Adams.
- Yes?
373
00:24:39,010 --> 00:24:40,944
Will you not
join me at table?
374
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:42,970
I have need
of more...
375
00:24:43,014 --> 00:24:45,175
reasonable company.
376
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:51,113
This uprising
in France
377
00:24:51,155 --> 00:24:53,282
places us in a
difficult position.
378
00:24:53,324 --> 00:24:55,724
We cannot trade
with Britain
379
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,627
and support her enemy
at the same time.
380
00:24:58,663 --> 00:25:01,154
Surely this is a matter
381
00:25:01,199 --> 00:25:04,168
on which the Secretary of State
and the Secretary of the Treasury
382
00:25:04,202 --> 00:25:05,669
should offer counsel.
383
00:25:05,703 --> 00:25:08,365
Mr. Jefferson
and Mr. Hamilton
384
00:25:08,406 --> 00:25:09,964
can agree on nothing.
385
00:25:10,008 --> 00:25:13,341
I fear that
we will be
386
00:25:13,378 --> 00:25:16,472
drawn into the perpetual
European conflict.
387
00:25:16,514 --> 00:25:19,915
I would advise
neutrality, sir.
388
00:25:21,352 --> 00:25:24,719
Avoid any hostilities
or any show of support.
389
00:25:24,756 --> 00:25:26,849
America must be
beholden to no one,
390
00:25:26,891 --> 00:25:29,018
neither England
nor France.
391
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:32,188
It is sheer folly
for us to expect
392
00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:35,063
disinterested relations
with France or England
393
00:25:35,099 --> 00:25:36,964
or any other country.
394
00:25:37,001 --> 00:25:38,901
The gangrene
of faction
395
00:25:38,936 --> 00:25:41,905
must not be allowed
to rot this government.
396
00:25:41,939 --> 00:25:43,770
You are the balance
397
00:25:43,808 --> 00:25:46,333
that holds both sides
together.
398
00:25:46,377 --> 00:25:48,675
Without you, there would
be dissolution.
399
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:50,943
On that, Mr. Hamilton
400
00:25:50,982 --> 00:25:53,314
and Mr. Jefferson
do agree.
401
00:25:56,421 --> 00:25:59,754
You are
indispensable, sir.
402
00:25:59,791 --> 00:26:03,158
But for how much longer,
Mr. Adams?
403
00:26:08,666 --> 00:26:10,759
Is something
the matter, sir?
404
00:26:10,802 --> 00:26:13,236
Blasted teeth.
405
00:26:14,739 --> 00:26:16,730
Terrible nuisance, yes.
406
00:26:21,979 --> 00:26:24,777
Sir, madam, a great honor
you have conferred
407
00:26:24,816 --> 00:26:26,681
upon the bridegroom
and the bride
408
00:26:26,717 --> 00:26:28,582
by being present
at this solemnity
409
00:26:28,619 --> 00:26:30,849
does very conveniently
supersede
410
00:26:30,888 --> 00:26:33,755
any further inquiry
after your consent.
411
00:26:33,791 --> 00:26:35,850
And the part I am desired to take
in this wedding
412
00:26:35,893 --> 00:26:39,624
renders the way of my giving consent
very compendious.
413
00:26:39,664 --> 00:26:43,225
There is no manner or room left
for the previous question,
414
00:26:43,267 --> 00:26:47,135
"Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?"
415
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,735
Give me your hand
for a moment
416
00:26:50,775 --> 00:26:54,040
into the bridegroom's
forever.
417
00:26:55,046 --> 00:26:56,877
Now joined
in matrimony,
418
00:26:56,914 --> 00:26:59,178
let us say
the Lord's Prayer.
419
00:27:01,486 --> 00:27:03,044
You will be pleased
to hear, Father,
420
00:27:03,087 --> 00:27:04,918
that some interesting
investment prospects
421
00:27:04,956 --> 00:27:06,685
have presented
themselves for me in London.
422
00:27:09,527 --> 00:27:11,154
You're leaving?
423
00:27:12,597 --> 00:27:14,758
So soon
after the wedding?
424
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,266
I frown
on speculation.
425
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:20,259
It is nothing
more than rolling in luxury
426
00:27:20,304 --> 00:27:22,295
on the property
of others.
427
00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:24,774
You should settle
on a profession, Colonel Smith,
428
00:27:24,809 --> 00:27:27,073
as my sons have.
429
00:27:29,847 --> 00:27:31,644
Naturally I would
postpone any trip
430
00:27:31,682 --> 00:27:33,946
if I could be of some service
to the government.
431
00:27:35,353 --> 00:27:38,550
Perhaps you could put a word in
with General Washington.
432
00:27:42,426 --> 00:27:45,953
And how on earth
would I justify that?
433
00:27:46,998 --> 00:27:49,364
My sister and I
are now family.
434
00:27:55,806 --> 00:27:58,570
I have no say
in the matter.
435
00:28:00,545 --> 00:28:02,672
And even if I did,
436
00:28:02,713 --> 00:28:04,806
I could not allow
my authority
437
00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:06,680
to become subservient
to my private views, sir.
438
00:28:06,717 --> 00:28:08,207
William was
only saying...
439
00:28:08,252 --> 00:28:11,085
I know what he was saying,
440
00:28:11,122 --> 00:28:14,353
Nabby,
and he has my answer.
441
00:28:16,661 --> 00:28:19,152
And when will you
give me your answer, Miss Smith?
442
00:28:20,631 --> 00:28:23,293
What is the question,
Mr. Adams?
443
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,268
I urge you to return
to Philadelphia.
444
00:28:34,011 --> 00:28:36,912
Should General Washington
decide to stand for a second term...
445
00:28:36,948 --> 00:28:38,609
And I have
no doubt he will.
446
00:28:38,649 --> 00:28:40,139
- It is absolutely
essential
447
00:28:40,184 --> 00:28:43,085
that you retain
the vice presidency.
448
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,486
If however
he should not stand,
449
00:28:45,523 --> 00:28:47,115
you will be
our party's choice.
450
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:50,588
Well...
451
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:56,288
But I cannot imagine my presence
is necessary for the elections.
452
00:28:56,334 --> 00:28:58,427
We must gird ourselves
against disruption
453
00:28:58,469 --> 00:29:00,300
in this election.
454
00:29:00,338 --> 00:29:02,704
You're a man
who appreciates balance
455
00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:04,207
and balance is what we need.
456
00:29:04,242 --> 00:29:06,710
But I fear I have
little influence.
457
00:29:06,744 --> 00:29:09,008
The Secretary
of State suffers
458
00:29:09,046 --> 00:29:12,311
from a womanish
attachment to France.
459
00:29:12,350 --> 00:29:14,511
There are those who say
that Mr. Jefferson
460
00:29:14,552 --> 00:29:16,315
is more Frenchman
than American.
461
00:29:16,354 --> 00:29:19,380
That is an unfair attack
on an old and dear friend.
462
00:29:19,423 --> 00:29:22,415
I beg your pardon
if I have misspoken.
463
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:25,588
Thomas is of a most
unbiased constitution.
464
00:29:25,630 --> 00:29:27,621
No matter how
indifferent you may be
465
00:29:27,665 --> 00:29:29,599
to the outcome of
the election, Mr. Adams,
466
00:29:29,634 --> 00:29:32,398
I hope you are not so to the cause
of good government.
467
00:29:32,436 --> 00:29:35,405
Our Republican adversaries
have been emboldened
468
00:29:35,439 --> 00:29:37,498
by the arrival
of a French envoy
469
00:29:37,541 --> 00:29:40,476
who is stirring up
anti-British sentiment.
470
00:29:40,511 --> 00:29:44,003
This is the end
of monarchy.
471
00:29:44,048 --> 00:29:46,983
Death to all tyrants.
472
00:29:47,018 --> 00:29:48,815
The end of tyranny!
473
00:29:58,296 --> 00:29:59,661
Vive la France!
474
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,995
King Louis is dead!
475
00:30:07,071 --> 00:30:10,734
Long live the French
and American republics.
476
00:30:10,775 --> 00:30:13,107
Yeah!
477
00:30:13,144 --> 00:30:15,442
Now that war
has been declared
478
00:30:15,479 --> 00:30:18,004
between your country
and Great Britain,
479
00:30:18,049 --> 00:30:20,017
we must remain neutral,
480
00:30:20,051 --> 00:30:22,918
Ambassador Genet.
481
00:30:22,953 --> 00:30:24,750
The United States
is a new
482
00:30:24,789 --> 00:30:27,019
and independent
nation.
483
00:30:27,058 --> 00:30:29,185
It is in our best
national interest
484
00:30:29,226 --> 00:30:32,195
to keep ourselves
apart from affairs
485
00:30:32,229 --> 00:30:34,459
to which we have
no attachment.
486
00:30:34,498 --> 00:30:37,899
Surely the cause of France
is the cause of America,
487
00:30:37,935 --> 00:30:40,301
of the world.
488
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:43,034
A threat to France
489
00:30:43,074 --> 00:30:45,668
is a threat
to America.
490
00:30:47,845 --> 00:30:50,405
And we have a treaty,
Mr. President,
491
00:30:50,448 --> 00:30:54,111
a treaty made when you were at war
with England.
492
00:30:54,151 --> 00:30:57,450
I remind the ambassador
that our treaty with France
493
00:30:57,488 --> 00:30:59,456
was made with King Louis.
494
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:02,982
The King's murder
renders that compact
495
00:31:03,027 --> 00:31:05,723
no longer binding.
496
00:31:07,732 --> 00:31:10,257
Thousands
of your people
497
00:31:10,301 --> 00:31:13,236
have called themselves
our brother.
498
00:31:13,270 --> 00:31:15,397
Since I landed
in America,
499
00:31:15,439 --> 00:31:18,203
I have found many
willing to fight.
500
00:31:18,242 --> 00:31:20,802
You will refrain,
Ambassador Genet,
501
00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:24,337
from any further
efforts to recruit our citizens
502
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:26,179
to belligerent
actions.
503
00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:28,242
I will not allow you
504
00:31:28,285 --> 00:31:31,118
to outfit privateers
to join in your war
505
00:31:31,155 --> 00:31:32,622
against England
506
00:31:32,656 --> 00:31:34,556
It is not for you
to tell me this.
507
00:31:37,962 --> 00:31:40,362
Tread carefully, sir.
508
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:44,357
The people will command me
as they command you.
509
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,030
Ambassador Genet...
510
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:49,335
You will hear
from me again, sir,
511
00:31:49,373 --> 00:31:52,865
and then I will speak to you
with a million voices
512
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:54,707
and you will obey.
513
00:32:03,487 --> 00:32:06,149
The famous French
diplomacy.
514
00:32:07,992 --> 00:32:09,857
Mr. Jefferson.
515
00:32:11,429 --> 00:32:14,762
Ambassador Genet
has taken leave of his senses.
516
00:32:17,701 --> 00:32:19,566
Surely you see now
517
00:32:19,603 --> 00:32:21,798
that you must
compromise, Thomas.
518
00:32:22,807 --> 00:32:24,798
We cannot side
with either France
519
00:32:24,842 --> 00:32:27,242
or England in this war.
520
00:32:27,278 --> 00:32:29,007
The president
has determined
521
00:32:29,046 --> 00:32:32,243
on a course of strict
impartiality.
522
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:35,741
A wise course
and I concur with it.
523
00:32:35,786 --> 00:32:39,051
Impartiality is always
partial, John.
524
00:32:40,057 --> 00:32:43,458
It will favor
the British
525
00:32:43,494 --> 00:32:45,155
as Mr. Hamilton
intends it should.
526
00:32:45,196 --> 00:32:48,632
General Washington judges
more independently
527
00:32:48,666 --> 00:32:50,258
than any man I ever saw.
528
00:32:50,301 --> 00:32:52,565
I do wonder, John,
529
00:32:52,603 --> 00:32:54,264
if you can be as blind
530
00:32:54,305 --> 00:32:56,830
to Mr. Hamilton's scheming
as you seem.
531
00:32:56,874 --> 00:33:00,401
I am no man's puppet,
Thomas.
532
00:33:00,444 --> 00:33:03,936
Mr. Hamilton would have us
British in our economy,
533
00:33:03,981 --> 00:33:06,313
British in our forms
of government.
534
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:08,682
British, John,
535
00:33:08,719 --> 00:33:10,778
in all but name.
536
00:33:10,821 --> 00:33:12,686
He believes that man
can be governed
537
00:33:12,723 --> 00:33:15,351
only by force
and self-interest.
538
00:33:15,392 --> 00:33:18,190
The first is unavailable
to him at present,
539
00:33:18,229 --> 00:33:21,630
so he appeals
to our baser instincts...
540
00:33:21,665 --> 00:33:24,225
fear and greed.
541
00:33:24,268 --> 00:33:26,634
Our Constitution
542
00:33:26,670 --> 00:33:28,501
provides a strong executive
543
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:31,906
to counter just such
legislative corruption
544
00:33:31,942 --> 00:33:34,570
as you imagine,
Thomas.
545
00:33:34,612 --> 00:33:37,046
Our constitution
has many good articles
546
00:33:37,081 --> 00:33:38,844
and some bad ones.
547
00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:41,078
I do not know yet
which predominate.
548
00:33:43,721 --> 00:33:45,348
Without this government,
549
00:33:45,389 --> 00:33:48,847
our republic would have collapsed
into anarchy long ago.
550
00:33:48,893 --> 00:33:50,292
With this government,
551
00:33:50,327 --> 00:33:52,887
I am not certain that
we are a republic.
552
00:33:58,202 --> 00:34:01,296
At any rate, I have offered
the president my resignation.
553
00:34:08,512 --> 00:34:12,175
I cannot descend
daily into the arena
554
00:34:12,216 --> 00:34:15,413
to suffer martyrdom
on every conflict.
555
00:34:18,222 --> 00:34:20,782
We have been
556
00:34:20,824 --> 00:34:23,486
the best of partners.
557
00:34:25,563 --> 00:34:27,827
Let us descend
together.
558
00:34:27,865 --> 00:34:30,493
Let us fight
together.
559
00:34:32,670 --> 00:34:35,639
My departure will be
a great relief to me
560
00:34:35,673 --> 00:34:38,005
and no great loss
to the public.
561
00:34:39,276 --> 00:34:43,144
It will be a great
loss to me, Thomas.
562
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,982
Well...
563
00:34:52,022 --> 00:34:53,785
to the revolution.
564
00:34:55,859 --> 00:34:59,556
- Whose?
- They are one and the same, John.
565
00:35:01,332 --> 00:35:04,130
Are they not?
566
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:35,094
You wish to speak with me,
Mr. President?
567
00:35:35,132 --> 00:35:37,259
You've heard of
Mr. Jefferson's withdrawal?
568
00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:40,429
He made his thoughts
known to me, yes, sir.
569
00:35:40,471 --> 00:35:43,770
I could not
persuade him to stay.
570
00:35:43,807 --> 00:35:47,243
He wishes to completely withdraw
from public life
571
00:35:47,277 --> 00:35:49,211
and return to his books
and his crops.
572
00:35:49,246 --> 00:35:52,147
It's interesting though,
is it not,
573
00:35:52,182 --> 00:35:55,709
how political plants
grow in the shade of retirement?
574
00:35:58,622 --> 00:36:01,318
This war between
France and England
575
00:36:01,358 --> 00:36:03,826
threatens to
tear us asunder.
576
00:36:03,861 --> 00:36:06,728
We are poised on the edge
of a precipice, Mr. Adams.
577
00:36:06,764 --> 00:36:10,165
We must not allow ourselves to be
pushed over the brink.
578
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,065
We are agreed
entirely, sir.
579
00:36:12,102 --> 00:36:13,967
Ambassador Genet's
visit
580
00:36:14,004 --> 00:36:17,440
has stirred
a hornet's nest.
581
00:36:17,474 --> 00:36:20,966
The British government now consider
us a belligerent nation
582
00:36:21,011 --> 00:36:23,206
for the very fact
of having received him.
583
00:36:25,649 --> 00:36:28,049
I intend to appoint
584
00:36:28,085 --> 00:36:29,950
Chief Justice Jay
585
00:36:29,987 --> 00:36:32,148
as special envoy
to London.
586
00:36:32,189 --> 00:36:34,657
Peace between our two countries
must be maintained.
587
00:36:34,692 --> 00:36:38,389
Mr. Jay and I served in the peace
negotiations in Paris.
588
00:36:38,429 --> 00:36:39,896
He is a most
honorable man, yes.
589
00:36:39,930 --> 00:36:43,696
America has a great
need in this crisis
590
00:36:43,734 --> 00:36:46,498
for experienced diplomats
in foreign stations,
591
00:36:46,537 --> 00:36:49,836
diplomats with your
clearness of mind.
592
00:36:49,873 --> 00:36:51,864
Sir...
593
00:36:54,178 --> 00:36:56,442
after so long
in exile abroad...
594
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,745
Fear not, Mr. Adams.
595
00:37:00,751 --> 00:37:03,549
It is about your son
596
00:37:03,587 --> 00:37:05,316
I wish to speak.
597
00:37:17,868 --> 00:37:21,565
Your writings in defense
of the administration
598
00:37:21,605 --> 00:37:25,006
have come under
the president's eye.
599
00:37:25,042 --> 00:37:27,033
I was unaware that
my provincial scribblings
600
00:37:27,077 --> 00:37:29,011
were read in Philadelphia.
601
00:37:29,046 --> 00:37:31,606
Well, I may have
602
00:37:31,648 --> 00:37:33,377
shown one
or two of them
603
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:35,681
privately to
General Washington,
604
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,483
- as any proud father would.
- Naturally.
605
00:37:40,057 --> 00:37:41,991
The president
has named you
606
00:37:42,025 --> 00:37:43,788
our Minister to
the Netherlands.
607
00:37:43,827 --> 00:37:46,694
The revolution in France
has spilled over into Holland.
608
00:37:46,730 --> 00:37:49,995
The Hague is a listening post by which
you can keep the government informed.
609
00:37:50,033 --> 00:37:52,160
Presiding over your
certain confirmation
610
00:37:52,202 --> 00:37:54,864
will be my proudest moment
as vice president.
611
00:37:54,905 --> 00:37:58,466
Now England and France
will drag all of Europe
612
00:37:58,509 --> 00:38:00,238
into this feud
before it is over.
613
00:38:00,277 --> 00:38:02,837
We must avoid any action
that threatens our neutrality.
614
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,077
You must make yourself master
of all of our disputes with them.
615
00:38:06,116 --> 00:38:08,084
Spain as well.
616
00:38:08,118 --> 00:38:09,847
Do not be drawn in
by the French
617
00:38:09,887 --> 00:38:12,913
and keep well clear
of the English ambassador
618
00:38:12,956 --> 00:38:15,618
and all the Anglo-maniacs.
619
00:38:15,659 --> 00:38:19,117
I rather wish the appointment had
not been made at all.
620
00:38:23,901 --> 00:38:26,597
Am I to understand
that you intend to
621
00:38:26,637 --> 00:38:29,470
refuse this appointment?
622
00:38:29,506 --> 00:38:31,974
Do not worry, Father.
623
00:38:32,009 --> 00:38:33,840
I know my duty as an Adams.
624
00:38:33,877 --> 00:38:37,472
But I am sorry
you did not see fit
625
00:38:37,514 --> 00:38:39,505
to consult me
on the decision.
626
00:38:49,426 --> 00:38:52,987
Congress will of course
assign a secretary to assist you.
627
00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:54,998
I would prefer that
Thomas accompany me.
628
00:38:55,032 --> 00:38:57,466
The boy is apprentice to one of
the finest attorneys in Philadelphia.
629
00:38:57,501 --> 00:38:58,968
He needs to complete
his studies.
630
00:38:59,002 --> 00:39:00,833
Thomas has no liking
for the law.
631
00:39:01,939 --> 00:39:04,169
Oh, well he has said
nothing to me.
632
00:39:04,208 --> 00:39:06,938
Have you asked him, Father?
633
00:39:12,249 --> 00:39:14,809
While I'm away
I must have some comfort
634
00:39:14,852 --> 00:39:17,184
knowing that I will be
secure upon my return.
635
00:39:17,221 --> 00:39:20,349
I share Father's
distrust of banks
636
00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:22,415
but not his distaste
for speculation.
637
00:39:22,459 --> 00:39:25,326
In New York you are in the midst
of opportunity.
638
00:39:25,362 --> 00:39:28,820
Colonel Smith says that there is money
for the taking in property
639
00:39:28,866 --> 00:39:31,391
and he has furnished me
with certain introductions.
640
00:39:33,070 --> 00:39:35,061
Well...
641
00:39:37,074 --> 00:39:40,669
there's $2,000 here.
642
00:39:40,711 --> 00:39:42,872
Invest it wisely.
643
00:39:42,913 --> 00:39:45,746
You are as good
as in profit already.
644
00:39:51,288 --> 00:39:53,381
Here they come.
645
00:39:53,423 --> 00:39:55,516
Give a big kiss
to Uncle John when he goes.
646
00:39:57,961 --> 00:40:00,589
This tender-hearted
fool
647
00:40:00,631 --> 00:40:03,429
has given his family
648
00:40:03,467 --> 00:40:05,128
many anxious hours.
649
00:40:06,870 --> 00:40:09,065
I'm very happy
with him.
650
00:40:09,106 --> 00:40:12,075
Public business must
be done by somebody.
651
00:40:13,944 --> 00:40:16,674
If wise men decline it,
others will do it.
652
00:40:20,117 --> 00:40:22,881
So you've always
taught us, Father.
653
00:40:31,094 --> 00:40:33,187
- Sir.
- Sir.
654
00:40:33,230 --> 00:40:34,857
Goodbye, Mother.
655
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,593
You have more prudence at 27
than your father at 58.
656
00:40:42,773 --> 00:40:45,037
All of my hopes
are in you...
657
00:40:46,777 --> 00:40:50,304
both for our family
and for our country.
658
00:40:50,347 --> 00:40:52,838
Do not disappoint me.
659
00:40:57,321 --> 00:40:59,255
Thomas.
660
00:41:03,093 --> 00:41:04,754
Come on.
661
00:41:08,999 --> 00:41:11,832
God keep them safe.
662
00:41:22,312 --> 00:41:25,110
I am sorry to cut my visit
so short, Charles,
663
00:41:25,148 --> 00:41:27,116
but I am needed
in Philadelphia.
664
00:41:27,150 --> 00:41:29,584
Mr. Jay has returned
from London
665
00:41:29,619 --> 00:41:32,520
and the news he brings has not
been well-received.
666
00:41:32,556 --> 00:41:35,047
- There is a treaty with England then?
- Yes.
667
00:41:35,092 --> 00:41:37,424
And he will be
pilloried for it.
668
00:41:39,229 --> 00:41:41,891
Your practice
prospers, I trust?
669
00:41:41,932 --> 00:41:43,422
I have clients.
670
00:41:44,901 --> 00:41:47,426
See that you
keep them.
671
00:41:50,540 --> 00:41:53,703
Sally seems
a steady girl.
672
00:41:56,813 --> 00:41:59,748
I feared that you would not
give us your blessing.
673
00:41:59,783 --> 00:42:03,184
An aspiring lawyer
should never marry early.
674
00:42:04,721 --> 00:42:06,586
Advice you
yourself ignored.
675
00:42:10,794 --> 00:42:13,024
You are happy
for me, Father?
676
00:42:14,631 --> 00:42:16,622
You are my son.
677
00:42:19,069 --> 00:42:21,037
I wonder, Father,
678
00:42:21,071 --> 00:42:24,165
just how many anxious hours did you
waste on my behalf?
679
00:42:24,207 --> 00:42:26,107
Was it before
or after you and Mother
680
00:42:26,143 --> 00:42:28,407
abandoned me and Thomas
to the care of tutors?
681
00:42:33,784 --> 00:42:35,718
Are you quite out
of your senses, man?
682
00:42:35,752 --> 00:42:37,310
All those years
you were in Europe
683
00:42:37,354 --> 00:42:39,618
you were nothing more than a name
at the end of a letter.
684
00:42:39,656 --> 00:42:41,419
A very infrequent letter.
685
00:42:41,458 --> 00:42:43,824
Letters full of advice
but never affection.
686
00:42:45,062 --> 00:42:48,657
Good God, you are
a frivolous boy, Charles.
687
00:42:49,966 --> 00:42:52,901
You know absolutely
nothing of honor.
688
00:42:52,936 --> 00:42:55,905
Your disgraceful behavior at Harvard
should have been proof enough
689
00:42:55,939 --> 00:42:57,702
of your disregard for duty.
690
00:42:57,741 --> 00:43:00,073
Duty, Father?
Was that it or was it reputation?
691
00:43:01,812 --> 00:43:05,714
My entire life has been one of devotion
to my country, sir.
692
00:43:05,749 --> 00:43:07,614
Your country.
You always speak of your country.
693
00:43:07,651 --> 00:43:09,175
What about us,
your family?
694
00:43:09,219 --> 00:43:11,517
Do we not merit any
of your precious devotion?
695
00:43:16,626 --> 00:43:18,856
We will never speak
of these matters again.
696
00:43:18,895 --> 00:43:21,125
Do we have your
blessing, Father?
697
00:43:44,788 --> 00:43:47,882
Gentlemen!
Gentlemen!
698
00:43:47,924 --> 00:43:49,915
Gentlemen!
699
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,451
The vote to ratify
700
00:43:52,496 --> 00:43:56,159
the treaty negotiated
by Mr. Jay with Great Britain
701
00:43:56,199 --> 00:43:59,691
still stands at 15 in favor,
15 against.
702
00:43:59,736 --> 00:44:03,069
The Jay Treaty is no more
than a capitulation to Britain.
703
00:44:03,106 --> 00:44:05,870
They treat us as though we were
still a colony.
704
00:44:05,909 --> 00:44:08,434
Peace, sir,
is not capitulation.
705
00:44:08,478 --> 00:44:11,845
- Mr. Pinckney, stand down.
- And the treaty ensures peace.
706
00:44:11,882 --> 00:44:14,612
- Stand down, sir.
- If the people of the United States
707
00:44:14,651 --> 00:44:18,018
had been consulted, no treaty whatever
would have been formed,
708
00:44:18,054 --> 00:44:21,922
especially at the expense
of the French republic.
709
00:44:21,958 --> 00:44:23,425
Great Britain is not
to be contended with?
710
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:26,896
Did we not fight a bloody
and costly revolution
711
00:44:26,930 --> 00:44:29,694
to rid ourselves
of British contagion?
712
00:44:29,733 --> 00:44:32,201
- Gentlemen!
- Do you want to fight another one?
713
00:44:32,235 --> 00:44:36,035
Mr. Pinckney you will cease!
714
00:44:36,072 --> 00:44:38,905
Good heavens.
715
00:44:40,710 --> 00:44:42,769
The vote still stands
716
00:44:42,812 --> 00:44:45,337
at 15 in favor,
15 against.
717
00:44:45,382 --> 00:44:48,408
And as the Senate cannot
come to a resolution,
718
00:44:48,451 --> 00:44:51,443
the final vote,
the deciding vote,
719
00:44:51,488 --> 00:44:53,820
falls to this chair.
720
00:44:58,061 --> 00:45:00,928
Falls to His Rotundity.
721
00:45:07,437 --> 00:45:09,530
The president's
wishes are clear.
722
00:45:14,110 --> 00:45:17,375
I vote for ratification.
723
00:45:20,283 --> 00:45:23,741
Mr. MacClay.
724
00:45:23,787 --> 00:45:27,553
Mr. Adams casts his vote
with the president
725
00:45:27,591 --> 00:45:31,186
only because he looks
up to the same goal.
726
00:45:31,228 --> 00:45:33,196
I am forced
to look up to it
727
00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:35,892
and bound by duty
to do so, sir,
728
00:45:35,932 --> 00:45:38,457
as there is only one
breath of one mortal
729
00:45:38,501 --> 00:45:41,766
between me and it.
730
00:45:41,805 --> 00:45:45,673
No treaty with England!
No treaty with England!
731
00:45:45,709 --> 00:45:48,872
No treaty!
732
00:45:48,912 --> 00:45:51,710
No Jay Treaty!
733
00:45:55,652 --> 00:45:57,677
The hellhounds
are in full cry.
734
00:45:57,721 --> 00:46:00,121
They say I have
sold this country
735
00:46:00,156 --> 00:46:01,919
to England,
736
00:46:01,958 --> 00:46:05,724
that I have sided with a mad English
king over the French republic.
737
00:46:09,399 --> 00:46:11,367
Slanders and libels,
738
00:46:11,401 --> 00:46:14,928
mobs, seditions,
739
00:46:14,971 --> 00:46:18,338
and then the hissing snakes,
the burning torches
740
00:46:18,375 --> 00:46:20,434
and haggard horrors
of civil war.
741
00:46:22,178 --> 00:46:24,203
My desk overflows
742
00:46:24,247 --> 00:46:27,410
with memorials
and petitions,
743
00:46:27,450 --> 00:46:29,918
with addresses,
resolutions, remonstrances
744
00:46:29,953 --> 00:46:31,318
from every
corner of the country,
745
00:46:31,354 --> 00:46:34,687
all urging me
to refuse my signature,
746
00:46:34,724 --> 00:46:37,522
declaring I'm a traitor
because I've sided
747
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,027
with a mad
English king
748
00:46:39,062 --> 00:46:41,428
over the French
republic.
749
00:46:41,464 --> 00:46:44,160
Chief Justice Jay
informs me
750
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,795
that he could steer
a course from one end of the country
751
00:46:47,837 --> 00:46:51,466
to the other by the light of his
own burning effigies.
752
00:46:51,508 --> 00:46:53,203
I do not approve
753
00:46:53,243 --> 00:46:55,803
of everything
in that treaty,
754
00:46:55,845 --> 00:46:59,975
but at least
it keeps us out of their blasted war.
755
00:47:07,691 --> 00:47:10,922
I know what it is
to be unpopular,
756
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,689
Mr. Adams.
757
00:47:12,729 --> 00:47:16,028
I am weary of the task.
758
00:47:17,701 --> 00:47:20,693
Most weary.
759
00:47:31,314 --> 00:47:35,182
To relinquish the presidency
after two terms
760
00:47:35,218 --> 00:47:38,381
when he could've
served for the rest of his life...
761
00:47:41,791 --> 00:47:44,692
George Washington is
an extraordinary man.
762
00:47:47,697 --> 00:47:50,723
I am heir apparent,
you know.
763
00:47:57,107 --> 00:47:59,371
Whoever follows
General Washington
764
00:47:59,409 --> 00:48:01,639
inherits
a devilish load.
765
00:48:05,548 --> 00:48:07,675
I'm not afraid
of that.
766
00:48:10,153 --> 00:48:12,246
I'm not.
767
00:48:14,224 --> 00:48:15,714
Will Thomas oppose you?
768
00:48:18,428 --> 00:48:20,419
Yes.
769
00:48:24,167 --> 00:48:27,898
Thomas thinks that
in his retirement
770
00:48:27,937 --> 00:48:30,405
he will get the reputation
of a humble man
771
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,203
without ambition
or vanity.
772
00:48:32,242 --> 00:48:35,769
He may even have deceived
himself into that belief,
773
00:48:35,812 --> 00:48:38,804
but now that
the prospect
774
00:48:38,848 --> 00:48:41,112
is open to him,
775
00:48:41,151 --> 00:48:44,279
the world will find that
he is as ambitious
776
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,254
as any man.
777
00:48:54,864 --> 00:48:57,594
These are now
to be found
778
00:48:57,634 --> 00:48:59,761
in every state.
779
00:49:03,506 --> 00:49:06,703
Thomas Jefferson
is a firm Republican
780
00:49:06,743 --> 00:49:09,803
where as you are...
781
00:49:11,848 --> 00:49:14,009
It's the same
old charge...
782
00:49:14,050 --> 00:49:15,540
monarchist.
783
00:49:15,585 --> 00:49:17,644
We may expect
the south and west
784
00:49:17,687 --> 00:49:19,951
to be firmly
in Mr. Jefferson's camp.
785
00:49:19,989 --> 00:49:21,650
New England will
stay true
786
00:49:21,691 --> 00:49:23,989
but there is
uncertainty
787
00:49:24,027 --> 00:49:26,495
in New York,
Pennsylvania
788
00:49:26,529 --> 00:49:28,360
and South Carolina.
789
00:49:28,398 --> 00:49:30,593
It's always those three...
790
00:49:30,633 --> 00:49:34,535
New York, Pennsylvania
and South Carolina.
791
00:49:34,571 --> 00:49:36,664
They're rather fickle,
those three.
792
00:49:36,706 --> 00:49:39,266
That is not
the worst of it.
793
00:49:39,309 --> 00:49:40,833
Hmm?
794
00:49:40,877 --> 00:49:43,846
The electors are being encouraged
to show support for
795
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,747
another candidate...
796
00:49:46,783 --> 00:49:49,843
Thomas Pinckney
of South Carolina.
797
00:49:51,988 --> 00:49:55,947
Thomas Pinckney?
798
00:49:57,494 --> 00:49:59,359
Oh.
799
00:50:00,997 --> 00:50:04,091
There can be
no comparison in experience
800
00:50:04,133 --> 00:50:06,397
or sacrifice to the government
between me and him.
801
00:50:08,771 --> 00:50:11,239
Whether I shall have anything more
to do with the government
802
00:50:11,274 --> 00:50:14,539
besides praying for it,
I do not know. Pinckney.
803
00:50:17,514 --> 00:50:20,711
Mr. Hamilton has been
804
00:50:20,750 --> 00:50:24,481
rather outspoken in his
praise of Mr. Pinckney.
805
00:50:24,521 --> 00:50:28,252
It is said he fears that you will be
unable to better Mr. Jefferson;
806
00:50:28,291 --> 00:50:32,318
That what matters
is not your own election,
807
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:34,159
but that
Mr. Jefferson be
808
00:50:34,197 --> 00:50:36,927
defeated at all costs.
809
00:50:44,841 --> 00:50:47,241
So it was Hamilton...
810
00:50:49,279 --> 00:50:53,113
who intrigued against me
in the first election.
811
00:50:53,149 --> 00:50:55,947
So it appears.
812
00:51:04,961 --> 00:51:07,395
I have no stomach for cards.
813
00:51:07,430 --> 00:51:09,421
No.
814
00:51:17,340 --> 00:51:19,103
I have just
been handed
815
00:51:19,142 --> 00:51:22,771
the final tabulations
of the Electoral College...
816
00:51:25,715 --> 00:51:27,774
which I will now
read to you.
817
00:51:46,369 --> 00:51:49,964
For Aaron Burr...
30 votes.
818
00:51:50,006 --> 00:51:51,997
For Thomas Pinckney...
819
00:51:54,077 --> 00:51:56,545
59 votes.
820
00:51:56,579 --> 00:51:59,639
For Thomas Jefferson...
68 votes.
821
00:52:02,051 --> 00:52:04,042
For John Adams...
822
00:52:06,022 --> 00:52:08,320
71 votes.
823
00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:42,984
Mr. President.
824
00:52:44,460 --> 00:52:48,157
I, John Adams,
solemnly swear
825
00:52:48,197 --> 00:52:50,392
that I will faithfully
execute the office
826
00:52:50,433 --> 00:52:52,526
of President
of the United States...
827
00:52:54,270 --> 00:52:56,636
and will, to the best
of my ability,
828
00:52:56,673 --> 00:53:00,609
preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution
829
00:53:00,643 --> 00:53:03,077
of the United States...
830
00:53:04,580 --> 00:53:06,741
so help me God.
831
00:53:16,426 --> 00:53:18,360
Mr. President,
832
00:53:18,394 --> 00:53:20,294
Mr. Vice President...
833
00:53:24,767 --> 00:53:26,758
gentlemen
of the congress...
834
00:53:29,338 --> 00:53:31,363
employed in the service
835
00:53:31,407 --> 00:53:34,934
of my country abroad,
836
00:53:34,977 --> 00:53:36,945
I first saw
the Constitution
837
00:53:36,979 --> 00:53:40,346
of the United States
in a foreign country.
838
00:53:43,352 --> 00:53:46,913
I read it with great
satisfaction
839
00:53:46,956 --> 00:53:48,787
as a result
of good heads
840
00:53:48,825 --> 00:53:51,851
prompted by good hearts...
841
00:53:54,163 --> 00:53:57,030
as an experiment better
suited to the genius,
842
00:53:57,066 --> 00:54:00,524
character and situation
of this country
843
00:54:00,570 --> 00:54:04,506
than any which had ever
been suggested or proposed.
844
00:54:05,942 --> 00:54:09,673
What other form
of government, indeed...
845
00:54:10,747 --> 00:54:12,806
can so well deserve
846
00:54:12,849 --> 00:54:15,283
our esteem and love?
847
00:54:15,318 --> 00:54:18,685
A government in which
the executive,
848
00:54:18,721 --> 00:54:21,918
as well as all
the other branches of the legislature,
849
00:54:21,958 --> 00:54:24,449
are exercised by citizens
850
00:54:24,494 --> 00:54:28,055
selected at regular periods
by their neighbors
851
00:54:28,097 --> 00:54:30,361
to make
and execute laws
852
00:54:30,399 --> 00:54:32,424
for the general good.
853
00:54:32,468 --> 00:54:33,935
Is authority,
854
00:54:33,970 --> 00:54:35,938
when it springs
855
00:54:35,972 --> 00:54:38,998
from accidents
and institutions
856
00:54:39,041 --> 00:54:41,532
established
in remote antiquity,
857
00:54:41,577 --> 00:54:43,511
more amiable
or respectable
858
00:54:43,546 --> 00:54:47,107
than when it springs fresh
from the hearts and judgments
859
00:54:47,150 --> 00:54:49,550
of an honest
and enlightened people?
860
00:54:51,521 --> 00:54:54,183
For eight years
861
00:54:54,223 --> 00:54:57,351
we have been under
the administration of a citizen
862
00:54:57,393 --> 00:55:00,590
who, through a long
course of great actions...
863
00:55:01,998 --> 00:55:05,161
regulated by prudence,
864
00:55:05,201 --> 00:55:08,967
justice, temperance
and fortitude,
865
00:55:09,005 --> 00:55:11,997
merited the full
gratitude
866
00:55:12,041 --> 00:55:14,407
of all his
fellow citizens.
867
00:55:14,443 --> 00:55:17,844
May the name of Washington
be a rampart
868
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,816
and the knowledge
that he lives a bulwark
869
00:55:21,851 --> 00:55:24,046
against all open
or secret enemies
870
00:55:24,086 --> 00:55:25,644
of his country's peace.
871
00:55:49,245 --> 00:55:51,873
With this great
example before me...
872
00:55:53,449 --> 00:55:56,748
and with the faith and honor
of the American people...
873
00:55:59,288 --> 00:56:02,052
upon which I have so often
874
00:56:02,091 --> 00:56:05,549
hazarded my all
875
00:56:05,595 --> 00:56:09,258
and never been deceived,
876
00:56:09,298 --> 00:56:12,790
I make you the following
solemn promises:
877
00:56:15,104 --> 00:56:17,504
To do justice
at all times
878
00:56:17,540 --> 00:56:20,566
and to all nations;
879
00:56:20,610 --> 00:56:23,101
to maintain peace,
880
00:56:23,145 --> 00:56:26,137
brotherhood and benevolence
with all the world;
881
00:56:26,182 --> 00:56:29,948
and to lay myself under
the most solemn obligations
882
00:56:29,986 --> 00:56:34,423
to uphold the Constitution
of the United States
883
00:56:34,457 --> 00:56:36,652
to the utmost
of my power.
884
00:56:53,009 --> 00:56:55,102
- Mr. President.
- Mr. Vice President,
885
00:56:55,144 --> 00:56:56,873
I thank you very much, sir.
886
00:56:56,913 --> 00:57:00,076
Titles have cost me
troubles enough.
887
00:57:00,116 --> 00:57:03,449
Let's just make it plain John
as it was in Paris, yes?
888
00:57:09,625 --> 00:57:11,217
Mr. President.
889
00:57:11,260 --> 00:57:12,727
Mr. President.
890
00:57:12,762 --> 00:57:14,923
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
891
00:57:14,964 --> 00:57:17,262
I am fairly out
892
00:57:17,300 --> 00:57:20,599
and you are
fairly in.
893
00:57:20,636 --> 00:57:23,799
See which of us
will be the happiest.
894
00:57:39,588 --> 00:57:41,146
The staff had
quite the jubilee
895
00:57:41,190 --> 00:57:44,159
when the general
took his leave, sir.
896
00:57:44,193 --> 00:57:46,320
The crockery,
the furniture,
897
00:57:46,362 --> 00:57:48,990
curtains and carpets
all gone.
898
00:57:49,031 --> 00:57:51,363
Even the bed linens, sir.
899
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,164
The lot of it.
They took all of it.
900
00:57:54,203 --> 00:57:57,104
Sorry, sir,
901
00:57:57,139 --> 00:57:59,630
Ma'am.
902
00:57:59,675 --> 00:58:01,870
Deplorable.
903
00:58:27,603 --> 00:58:29,594
I hate speeches.
904
00:58:32,074 --> 00:58:34,702
I hate to talk
to 1,000 people
905
00:58:34,744 --> 00:58:37,304
to whom I have
nothing to say.
906
00:58:37,346 --> 00:58:40,110
And yet, all that
you can do...
907
00:58:43,986 --> 00:58:45,954
and have done.
908
00:58:45,988 --> 00:58:49,321
Oh, the decays
of nature.
909
00:58:52,661 --> 00:58:55,596
Painful for an old man
to acknowledge them.
910
00:58:55,631 --> 00:58:58,429
Then you must count
other blessings:
911
00:59:00,503 --> 00:59:02,437
Two sons
912
00:59:02,471 --> 00:59:04,439
embarked on a
diplomatic career;
913
00:59:04,473 --> 00:59:06,532
Another at the bar;
914
00:59:06,575 --> 00:59:09,408
A daughter
915
00:59:09,445 --> 00:59:11,913
who has given you
a beautiful grandchild;
916
00:59:14,050 --> 00:59:16,575
And a most patient wife.
917
00:59:49,518 --> 00:59:52,919
Promise not to expose
these croakings and groanings.
918
00:59:54,723 --> 00:59:56,691
Really, John,
919
00:59:56,725 --> 00:59:58,386
such shenanigans
920
00:59:58,427 --> 01:00:01,396
from a man of 60.
921
01:00:03,265 --> 01:00:06,132
And the president at that.
922
01:00:13,475 --> 01:00:15,066
Up, John.
923
01:00:15,944 --> 01:00:17,612
John.
924
01:00:17,646 --> 01:00:19,307
Yes?
925
01:00:21,116 --> 01:00:22,607
Up.
