[Munch and Lewis are talking about a historic building they plan to turn into a bar]
Surely you can understand our desire to protect that history, especially in connection to George Washington.
George Washington?
George Washington... In 1793, he was traveling from Mount Vernon to Philadelphia. He stopped here.
He stopped here?
Of course, it was a residence at the time.
George Washington slept here?
Well, no...
He had dinner?
No.
So what did he do here?
Apparently the President, just coming from a dinner party where he had consumed quite a bit of wine, was in something of a bind. He had no time to seek out a public chamber pot.
Are you telling us the reason we can't tear down the bathroom is that it's where George Washington once took a whizz?
[She nods]
