Transcript:

George Washington's Father: Is it true that you are the son of Augustine and Mary Ball Washington? George Washington: Well, I have in the past, been reffered to in that manner. George's Father: And, as such, did you not willfully chop down this cherry tree belonging to one Augustine Washington, your father, to wit, me? George Washington: With what? George's Father: With that hatchet you have in your hand, sir! George Washington: Define "hatchet". Define "hold". George's father: Do you then, deny chopping down said tree? George Washington: You'd have to ask my lawyers - I was in India someplace at the time. Punk: The lad will go far.
