John Adams

John Adams:
Abigail. Here's a fine culmination to all my years of service - fewer than half the votes of the electoral college. General Washington is unanimously acclaimed President with 69 votes, whereas I apparently am scorned by all but 34 of the electors.

Abigail Adams:
John, there are two, four, six, eight, ten other names here. You have more votes than all of them put together. And John Jay comes in third with nine.

John Adams:
Nonetheless, I consider - I consider such a showing a stain upon my character.

Abigail Adams:
John!

John Adams:
I will not and I cannot accept it.

Abigail Adams:
John... You are vice president now.
