1776:
Teddy: Good fellow!? Would you like to join me with a voluntary militia to fight off the King's tyrannic forces?
Mechaman: That sounds like a bloody good idea mate! Let's do it for the hell of it!
Teddy: Heh, really? I didn't expect that.
Mechaman: I am always down for sticking it to authority, especially if it's some monarchistic English Protestant arsehole thousands of miles away.
Two Years Later:
After capture
Teddy: I would humbly ask that you Redcoats who have captured this militia unit please spare them and my second in command, for they were only following orders. It was my clumsy judgement, my unfitness of mind that led them to this. Please spare my dear friend and our troops, for they were led astray by my lazy command.
Mechaman: Damn it all to hell Theodore! We joined together we will die together! The cause of freedom, no matter how fought in vain it should be, is a sacrifice for all! We led these men in defeat, together, for a cause worthy of dying for! I shall stand with you in the blame.....and the punishment.
Teddy: Meh, how about we meet at the tavern after this and get some rum?
Mechaman: Oh you mean after we are executed? What a great idea!
Uh, it'd be more like this
1776
Teddy: Ah my friend, lets sign up to fight for king and country!
Mechaman: Uh, dude, the king is raping our country, we need to fight for freedom!
Teddy: Bah, freedom is over-rated, these lawbreakers need to be punished
Mechaman: You are insane, Theodore!
Ten years later
Teddy: I'd humbly ask that you give the defendant the maximum possible penalty
Mechaman: WHAT! You are the prosecutor! But you fought for the redcoats!
Teddy: The defendant will be silent, and shall not break the law
Mechaman: Damn it all to hell Theodore! You are an ugly backstabbing fascist.
Teddy: ORDER IN THE COURT! I am not Ugly
Judge: How about you let ME do the judge business, Theodore?
