Below are their dialogues:
Picture 6
Wilberforce : “Some simple truth about this horrendous war need to be
restated for the benefit of my honorable friends. Simple fact. We have three rebels on the anvil and hammer in our
hands. There is no question that our military force is far to that of Americans. But we must distinguish between force
and justice.”
Fox : “Where did this terrier spring from?”
Tarleton : “I believe he’s a Yorkshire terrier, my lord.”
Wilberforce : “Rather than able statesman. Surely it is time for the fat fellow and his friend opposite to make way for the others
who consider the good of their country of greater moment than their own personal interest.”
Duke : “My honorable friend suggests we surrender to the
revolutionaries. Revolution is like a pox. It spreads from person to person.”
Wilberforce : “I bow to my honorable friends superior knowledge and
experience in all matters regarding the pox.” Tarleton
: “Why would we withdraw from American when half of the American is loyal to the crown?”
Wilberforce : “Less than one in four Americans are loyal. If he calls that
half, I’d hate to be his wife and share half his bed.” Fox
: “My foreign secretary. My honorable and my young friends should explain to the house the difference between
appeasement and surrender.” Wilberforce
: “The difference between appeasement and surrender is merely a matter of time and perhaps 10.000 more young
lives wasted for no reason.” 00: 09: 45
The scene informs that at the time, there were not young members who were brave to speak about the revolution in America. He said to the other member

Lord Tarleton, and Lord Charles Fox. The picture above showed a group of people in the wilber side that looks so tired but still focus to the conversation.
