John Paul Jones was an American naval captain during the Revolutionary War. When a British ship asked him if he wanted to surrender, what did he supposedly say in response?

While John Paul Jones did refuse to surrender, we aren't sure if he actually said these legendary words. Jones managed to capture the British ship that had asked him to surrender, but he lost his own ship the process.
