1776 Jefferson's First Draft

[luismiguel9911]

I BET THE only person who disliked it was john adams.

Adams: a whole week. the entire earth was created in a week.

Jefferson: someday you must tell me how you did it

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD­XDXD

[akser360]

Franklin just goes in and lays in the bed XD

[baldbrad]

Virginia abstains...

[adamlevinelover11]

HAHA i just got that joke lol!

Adams: Do you mean to say it has not yet finished? (Declaration of Independence)

Jefferson: No sir, I mean to say it has not yet begun.

Adams: Gooood god! A whole week! the entire Earth was created in a whole week.

Jefferson: Some day, you must tell me how you did it

Adams: Disgusting.

[bowserhunter1]

@adamlevinelover11 I actually don't get it.

[xXTawiTawiChanXx]

2:22 - 3:49 was the best part. I couldn't stop laughing. X'D

[braedo98]

virginia says nay



[RhythamKillaz]

"Jeffeeeerrrrrsoooooonnnnnn!" ( John Adam's voice) Swag.

[gnetikjakhammer]

Ben Franklin was a ladies man. I love how they include that bit of historical accuracy in the beginning as they're both walking up the flights up stairs.

[MistiineChristine]

" My Venerable Colleague, enjoys a priviledge here, that is much to be enjoyd. Being Seventy Years of Age, the Ladies not only allow him to embrace them as often as her pleases, but they are perpetually embracing him. I told him Yesterday, I would, write this to America."

- letter written to Abigail from John Adams about Franklin being a player in France while they were both there in 1778.

[singingismypassion]

I don't like that they made Franklin look like a dullard, baffoon, simpleton etc

[BestrNameEver]

@singingismypassion but yet hes was funny

[singingismypassion]

@BestrNameEver Yes it was a little funny, but Franklin was funny in his own right. They could have done the research to show the real funny side of Franklin. But it's a movie so all that really matters is the fact that it entertains viewers.

[K9TheFirst1]

@singingismypassion ...Are we watching the same movie? The man was portrayed at the height of wit and clever. Unless you're talking about his habit to sleeping. Keep in mind the man was in his seventies and really, could you say you WOULDN'T sleep during a session of Congress?

[MrsCheese2000]

@karaokegirl1313 u should! I luv it!

[TAMR213]

Any chance you could post the part of congress talking about soldiers bathing in the Raritan at New Brunswick?

[Kreepman]

FEENY

[shiftergoddessathena]

@Kreepman

[vahi37]

[obamaisanazipig]

3 of the greatest men in american histroy.

[Cassid4813]

Nobody could have played John Adams any better!!!

[99musicismylife41]

franklin was totally ready to try and get with martha jefferson

[fatibel42]

@99musicismylife41 Why do you think he got on so well in France?

[GTPalmer]

Just think. The USA might never had been founded were it not for Jefferson getting laid in the afternoon.

"They fit so well together!"

bow-chikka-bow-wow-chickka-chi­kka

:)

[AliceCullensAwesome]

"A whole week? The entire Earth was created in a week!"

"Someday, you must tell me how you did it."

[TheHanaKatsumi]

Well then! Franklin just made himself at home!

[dkupke]

"...someday, you must tell me how you did it."

[pookturtles]

I THANK NO OTHER MAN BUT JEFFERSON FOR ROLLEY CHAIRS

[DumasForever53]

oh course she is, look at how well they fit. <3

[stitchbadboy]

i love how franklin jus came in and jus hit the bed

[candiheart7]

Adams is to die for. So is TJ. I certainly wouldnt be complaining if i were in Martha's shoes right here---mmmm-mmmm!!!!!!!!! :3

[sarahweirdo5]

OMG JEFFERSON IS SO FINE!!

[LilHulk08]

Mr. Feeny!! lol

[bobbobachoo1]

"Who is this?" "His wife *they make out* I hope" :P

[pankackeluva]

I swear i said rapist in the middle of class watching movie at this scene 2:22

[7Write4This9Heart7]

lol. "This is terrible." XP But the ending result is absolutely amazing! *U* lol. Think they're a bit busy, John... XD XP Nice...

[animechicka641]

"a WHOLE WEEK! the earth was created in a WHOLE WEEK!!"

"someday you must tell me how you did it."

HAHAHAHAHAHA ily jefferson XDXDXD

[witch1fan]

Can you please upload this movie, I really want to watch it, but I understand if you can't.

[cbc51]

"Some day, you must tell me how you did it". I'm a Christian, and even I find humor in that line. I have this on DVD, and see it every Fourth. One of my top favorite flicks.

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

please upload the whole movie

[wolgreth]

was Jefferson right of left handed? That right handed desk he was sitting on is interesting.

[20MrBigmac]

I just love the dry wit

[acm1995]

Adams: The entire Earth was created in a week!

[Jefferson spins around]

Jefferson: Someday, you must tell me how you did it.

Adams: Diiiiisgusting.

BEST LINES OF A MOVIE EVER!

[jtom94]

45 sec...Well just go ahead and lie in my bed.

[94Phillies]

I love how they were literally already making out for 5 seconds "What makes you think so?" and Adams actually justified that with an answer. hahaha :)

[joezjoez06]

"This is terrible"

I love how John says it so bluntly.

[scott542]

I love how Franklin immediately goes and lies down... classy

[SnickersInTheBarn]

John Adams reminds me a lot of my U.S. History teacher.

So does Alastor Moody from HArry Potter, now that I think on it.

[WillScarlet16]

"Some day, you must tell me how you did it."

[xmrsadampascal]

I love how Franklin automatically goes and plomps himself on the bed.

[ScottsShadow]

the look on his face @ 3:21 is PRICLESS!!!

this is such an AMAZING movie with an AMAZING cast.

they just don't make movies or actors like this anymore...

with the aception of Johnny Depp & a FEW select others/

[RamrodtotheMax]

I wish you'd tacked the end shot of Jefferson gazing slyly down the steps at Adams after Franklin departs...that made the scene.

I suppose he was saying both "thank you" and "get the hell away from my house" at the same time

[r5t6y12]

There is another small historical inaccuracy in the movie.........

During "But Mr. Adams" the one man is referred to Robert Livingston.

The man who signed the Declaration of Independence was Phillip Livingston.

[candiheart7]

Aaahahaha I love this scene...too bad it's historically inaccurate b/c the summer of 1776 Martha Jefferson had had a miscarriage which is why Tom was so anxious to get back to see her, as she was in no state to travel. But it's quite all right, this is one case where I'm happy they twisted history---it makes for a lovely amusing scene. Adams looks so embarrassed it's hilarious!!

[Hellyazmaster200]

"In the middle of the afternoon"? lol

[janicepeixoto]

"Not everyone's from Boston, John." omg, i love franklin:)

[Freakears]

@janicepeixoto It's also priceless how when they walk in, he just plops down on Jefferson's bed.

[musicalfool]

Franklin is a dirty old man I LOVE IT!

[XSlayerALE]

Virginia abstains...

ROFLMAO

[GetintheknowvoteO]

John Adams looks like such a loser in this movie, But it does have clever lines... and Jefferson breaks into song, which is priceless.

[Nomlokom]

Great Movie. I'll never think of Ben Franklin the same again

[abootorab]

I loved the movie, who is the director, who are the actores?

[not2esoteric]

The director was Peter Hunt.

Adams - William Daniels

Jefferson - Ken Howard

Franklin - Howard Da Silva

[whitehousesvc729]

@not2esoteric

can you please upload the entire film onto youtube? I would love to see the rest of it!

[fatibel42]

@abootorab BTW, the actor playing Rutledge (S. Carolina) was the old bartender in Northern Exposure. And Reverend Witherspoon is played by the same guy who was the governor in Benson.

[ethicalambiguity]

I love this movie, hahaha.

[wwe107]

This was on TMC last evening. It was a good movie.

[JunoMacguff2012]

I wish someone would upload the entire movie. If possible. That would be nice.

I've never seen it before. :(

[JunoMacguff2012]

"Not everybody's from Boston, John."

[ChuckneyYT]

"In the middle of the afternoon?!"

I love this film. Thank you so much! :D

[not2esoteric]

You're welcome! I figured since others have posted the musical bits, I'd put up some of my favorite dialog only parts.

And John's "afternoon" line always makes me laugh.

[jshark70]

@not2esoteric - indeed! Well done.

I find I also truly like the debate between Adams and the delegate from Pennsylvania (whose name currently escapes me). I had a history professor who told me that this is as likely how it happened (without the singing and dancing, of course) as any other hypothesis.
