Liberty's Kids: Est. 1776
2002
Baron DeKalb: Nothing to tell? He dressed as a *woman* to sneak out of France! The Marquis de Lafayette: (awkwardly) I was wearing a merchant's cloak!
James Hiller: Washington is one of the richest men in Virginia. Hancock is the richest in New England. If we lose this war, they lose everything! What's more important to them? Treasure, or freedom?
Officer: (to Lafayette) Good morning, sir. Three more deserters last night. The Marquis de Lafayette: It's this heat, Lieutenant. Our troops are from colder climates. I had hoped seeing me wearing full uniform would inspire them. Henri LeFevre: Gilbert? Didn't you tell me there used to be warriors who fought naked? Sarah Phillips: (Acknowledging that Henri is in his underwear) *You*, Henri LeFevre, are *not* a warrior!
James Hiller: Tories! They're going through the mail! This is an offence! An outrage! John Adams: (cutting back to Philadelphia) Ben, someone went through my mail! This is an offence! An outrage!
Sarah Phillips: You were born British! John Paul Jones: I was born a Scot, Miss Phillips! British, by the point of a sword!
Sarah Phillips: You don't understand, Captain Jones! My father... and the violence... all the pain I've seen... I'm so confused... John Paul Jones: I think I do understand, lass.
James Hiller: (after hearing the Yorktown battle plan) So the army marches south... it could be the huge victory we've been hoping for! General George Washington: Yes, James, it would indeed be a great victory... or a devastating defeat.
Benjamin Franklin: Sir, I will tell you what I've told others just like you a hundred times: Congress gave me no power to hire officers. French Officer: But I *am* of merit! Benjamin Franklin: Sir, you knowing that you are of merit is a good and pleasing thing, but it does not mean it is known to everybody. French Officer: You insult me! I am of exceptional merit! Hmph! (storms out) Benjamin Franklin: Heaven forbid he has the price of passage. If Congress continues promoting these fools into officers, we will surely lose the war.
