Amy: Why, Paul! How good to see you! Paul Revere: 'evening, Amy! Is Nate home? Nate Harris: He certainly is, Paul! What brings you out on a night like this? Paul Revere: Nate, the British are coming! The British are coming! Nate: So! It's finally happened! How much time you figure we've got, Paul? Paul Revere: Twenty... maybe thirty minutes! Nate Harris: I only need one, you know... Paul Revere: Really?! Amy: Nate's been specially trained.
