WASHINGTON
Colonel Glover, can your regiment of seafaring men handle our boats in that river?
GLOVER
General Washington, my men can handle boats in any water!
WASHINGTON
The boatmen say they can't cross because of the floating ice.
GLOVER
Sir, my men are sea sailors, not river boatmen—it takes more than ice to scare them off!
WASHINGTON
Good! Put some of them in every boat.
