Tom and George decide to head to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, hoping to impress and reconcile with the nation. They arrive at the Philadelphia Statehouse or the Constitutional Convention. Patrick Henry makes an impassioned speech about taxation without representation after which Tom, high as a kite, asks how can we argue for freedom and the rights of man when a lot of them, including themselves, owned hundreds of slaves? They are walked out the doors with several kicks until a bouncer’s mighty boot sends them both flying into a puddle of mud.

Sensing their presence isn’t welcomed, the duo decides to return home but mistakenly takes a wrong turn, leading them to South America.
