:'''Abigail Adams''': Well, I have been in France for such a short time. It would be unfair to pass sentence or form judgement.

:'''Thomas Jefferson''': Which implies that you've already done both.

:'''[[George III of the United Kingdom|George III]]''': The circumstances of this audience are so extraordinary, the language you have held is so extremely proper, and the feelings you have discovered so justly adapted to the occasion that I not only receive with pleasure the assurance of the friendly disposition of the United States, but I am very glad that the choice has fallen on you to be their minister. I will be very frank with you. I was the last to consent to separation. But the separation having been made and having become inevitable, I have always said, as I say now, that I would be the first to meet the friendship of the United States as an independent power.

:'''John Adams''': Thank you, your Majesty.

:'''George III''': An honest man will never have any other.

 

:'''Abigail Adams''': John!

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