(edit)
Darrin: Mr. Franklin, you said yourself it was time to go back.
Benjamin Franklin: And so I shall, sir, after this dear lady (Aunt Clara) and I have a night, as you put it, on the town.
Darrin: But didn't you once say, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"?
Benjamin Franklin: Yes, I did. But that was before the electric light. (edit) Benjamin Franklin: Now, the district attorney, I fear, has set himself a very difficult task. First, he must prove that I stole a fire engine. Now, what motive could a man have for stealing a fire engine unless, of course, he needed one to put out a fire? And, second, the district attorney must prove that I am not Benjamin Franklin but, in fact, an impostor. If he succeeds, I shall have to conclude that not only have I been mistaken as to my identity all these years, but that my honored father and mother were some what confused at my birth. (edit) Benjamin Franklin: Optimists, Madam, believe that all will turn out for the best. They are, therefore, constantly disappointed. I on the other hand, prepare myself for the worst. Should it not occur, I am delightfully surprised. (edit) Samantha: Maybe Darrin's right [about Franklin defending himself at trial.] After all, Mr. Franklin, you are innocent.
Benjamin Franklin: Mrs. Stevens, it's the innocent who need an attorney, the guilty can lie for themselves. (edit)
