From HBO's "John Adams" (2008), episode two ("Independence").
John Dickinson (PA) and John Adams (MA) clash, for neither the first nor the last time. A rewrite of the "a certain great fortune" debacle.
Featuring Zeljko Ivanek, Paul Giamatti, Danny Huston.

At 2:12 it sounds like he says the same shit, but when you listen to it again and more closely, its says ship
-
One of my favorite scenes in the miniseries. Zeljko Ivanek is fantastic.
-
No matter how many times I watch this scene, I never tire of it.

3:33 the "snake" remark may be a reference to Ben Franklin's old "join or die" political cartoon, and Ben isn't happy about it
-
At 3:50 Ben Franklin's just like, "Oh shit! No he didn't!"

John Adams deserves a lot more credit than what has been given to him. True, he was not the best president but did compose many ideas in which,without, we would not be as great of a country. Thomas Jefferson did write the Declaration of Independence, and did a tremendous job, but without the mind of John Adams ( and Benjamin Franklin ) it may have not been as well written. John Adams truly was a brilliant man.

Incredible. This guy was born in Yugoslavia, lives in the US, and here speaks with just a flawless remnant of a British/Irish accent. What a terrific actor. Agree with everyone who says this guy is way underrated.

This is by far the best episode of the series. Zeljko Ivanek's great performance as John Dickinson is undoubtedly a major factor.

Oh, no kidding. I didn't even post the best scenes, because I didn't want to spoil the ending. (Besides the obvious, you know--Adams wins, there's a war.)
I was deeply disappointed Ivanek didn't get an Emmy nomination for this episode, but then he won one for _Damages_, so that was all right.
