Quotes 

• Ichabod Crane : [about Franklin]  The man was insufferable!

  Lt. Abbie Mills : We are talking about Benjamin Franklin? The editor of the Declaration of Independence.

  Ichabod Crane : Blowhard, braggart, blatherskite. And gasbag. He had an insatiable need to prove he was the sharpest intellect in the room.

  Lt. Abbie Mills : I could see how that could be hard for you.

• Ichabod Crane : [eyeing the candles on the cupcake]  Why must your era celebrate terror with dessert?

  Lt. Abbie Mills : I'm sorry, I couldn't find a cupcake big enough for two hundred and fifty-one candles. Happy birthday.

  Ichabod Crane : Well, then, I shall consider myself 'punk'd'.

• Lt. Abbie Mills : [holing up the cupcake with the candles]  Make a wish.

  Ichabod Crane : oh, a wish?

  Lt. Abbie Mills : Another modern tradition.

  Ichabod Crane : And here I thought science had won over superstition in modern America. Very well. A wish. I wish...

  Ichabod Crane : Not out loud.

  Ichabod Crane : Is there no end to this birthday madness?

• Lt. Abbie Mills : [reading through the archives]  First Among Founders: Benjamin Franklin's Impact on Colonial America.

  Ichabod Crane : [scoffing]  Impact? On the scores of strumpets he crushed beneath his girth, perhaps.

• Benjamin Franklin : You still haven't learned my alphabet, have you?

  Ichabod Crane : [sheepishly]  There are only so many hours in the day.

  Benjamin Franklin : Rise earlier. The key to success lies under the alarm clock.

• Jenny Mills : This is the only statue of Franklin in Sleepy Hollow.

  Ichabod Crane : Wait. There are more?

  Jenny Mills : All over the country. Plus the Franklin Mint, the $100 bill. It's all about the Benjamins.

  Ichabod Crane : Yes, it always was.

• Lt. Abbie Mills : [about the up coming battle]  This is what we've training for. You ready?

  Ichabod Crane : I've been ready for 200 years.
