Washington: Yes… Well, anyway… The new general is a loyal, hard-working young man…
Hamilton: (thinking) Yes…
Washington: The obvious choice for the job…
Hamilton: (thinking) He’s right…
Washington: An orphaned immigrant you know and love…
Hamilton: (thinking) That’s me!
Washington: Please welcome our new general… Marquis de Lafayette!

Hamilton: Hold up, folks, I’m getting an important newsflash from General Washington. Go ahead, sir.

Washington: OH FOR GOD’S SAKE ALEXANDER, YOU DIDN’T GET THE JOB!
