But when Franklin introduces Franklin

the Marquis de Lafayette, you know, take care of this young guy.

And we've managed to keep this experiment, self-government going for 250 years.

And if forever Washington might be looking down on us forever, just out of respect to him, we need to do our best to keep this experiment going.

Well, if it does have that effect, I will be greatly satisfied.
