Yes, yes I did, and it was wonderful.

This post rocked my socks, and I'm glad I came across it. Incidentally, I agree with you.

No, no I really didn't, thank you very much. Next thing you know, they'll have a seen of George taking out his teeth and gumming Martha. Ewwww.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Actually you did. That represented how long they were separated from each other unable to do what married couples do and unlike half of Adams colleagues, he stood faithful. That was the reward. That's how I saw it anyway.

Next thing you know, they'll have a seen of George taking out his teeth and gumming Martha. Ewwww.

Better to see that than see Franklin and that old French hag. Bad enough we had to see them in the tub...

Franklin and that old French hag.

I think it's important to have moments like that in film because it humanizes the Founders, reminds us that they were not semi-divine figures as people today often see them, what with the way they are immortalized in marble and bronze and on our currency. They were still human beings.
