1776 "The history books will clean it up"

[soccerkid8246]

Ben Franklin was the biggest Champion in the History of Champions

[mindybob21]

"I feel an absolute fool."

"That's good for you, John."

One of my all time favorite movies and plays!!

[LadySaberKnight]

The best part? Adams' line about Frankin smiting the ground... almost a direct quote from him.

[pendragon2012]

Franklin: Don't worry, John. The history books will clean it up.

Talk about getting to the heart of the matter!

[SuperKaitie333]

IT'S MR. FUCKING FEENY!

[TheGuyWithTheSniper]

Socially Awkward John Adams is Socially Awkward =D

[WOGIE1313]

Still the BEST sequence of the entire musical.

[folklore19]

The best part is the Adams actually said this.

[derjungle]

@folklore19 He said many versions of things like this, most in letters to Abigail. Adams was an extremely proud very hard working Massachusetts man. His ugliest side is his pride and his immense jealousy, and this scene represents that as well as anything could.

i really like this movie. it's funny. i'm watching this in my social studies class

[Katlady457]

It's "smote the ground", not smoked the ground

[ewbecht]

i so wish waking canes were still in style

[Celtjew]

@ewbecht Go ahead and carry one. I do. No one seems to have a problem with it.

[A1l2l2e2n4]

@ewbecht

I don't know if he still does, but actor Georg Stanford-Brown used to carry a cane. When asked why he carried it, he simply said, "Affectation".

[RosesNightengales]

Mr. Feeney!!! XD

[mjwenzel]

Damn, I think it is Mr. Feeney, nice.

[LunabelleLily]

@mjwenzel Indeed it is! Mr. Feeney as John Adams. Excellent

[witch1fan]

Did you sleep well, Madam?

[ABookwormAndProud]

Franklin smoked the ground, and out sprang George Washington, fully grown and on his horse. Franklin then electrified him with his miraculous lightning rod, and the three of them: Franklin, Washington, and the horse conducted the whole revolution all by themselves.

....I like it.

[Fiondra]

@ABookwormAndProud *smote, not smoked :p But yes, sucha great quote

[joezjoez06]

@masterskyrunner haha, I didn't notice that, haha

[xxxshessxxx]

Isn't this "Mr. Feeney" from "Boy meets world?"

[TBAWriter]

@xxxshessxxx Yeah, he is. One of the best performances, I think.

[joezjoez06]

John looks so funny with his hair messed up

[masterskyrunner]

@joezjoez06 but oddly it's messed up on the wrong side opposite of the side he was sleeping on.

[Patriotfighter1770]

john looks more like sam - his cousin -

[candiheart7]

one of the best dialogue sequences :) thank you so very much for putting this up!!
