Samuel Adams:
You haven't much of a case, John.

John Adams:
Do I not?

Samuel Adams:
No Boston Jury will ever vote for aquittal.

John Adams:
Thank you for your kind advice, Sam.

Samuel Adams:
This is not a time for showing how clever you are, cousin.

[Approaches John and hands him a pamphlet]

Samuel Adams:
This is a time for choosing sides.

John Adams:
I am for the law, cousin. Is there another side?

Samuel Adams:
[shouts to the crowd while John looks at the pamphlet depicting the Boston Massacre] There are those who fight for our rights as natural-born Englishmen, and those that would strip us of those rights!

John Adams:
I do not have the luxury of your birth or your purse, Sam, to spend my days fomenting dissension.

[Calls out to Samuel]

John Adams:
I intend to prove this colony is governed by law. Whatever you or your Sons of Liberty may say on the matter!

Samuel Adams:
We're all Sons of Liberty here.
