Richard: Just so you know, this song is freaking iconic. 

Lafayette: Of course it is, it's about me!

Richard: Yes, that's true! Anyway, Guns and Ships, everybody!

Burr: How does a-

Hamilton: Uh oh! Just come to me, insults!

Richard: No one's gonna be insulting you! In this song, at least.

Burr: Ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower-

Revolutionaries: Well, that really called out all of us.

Washington: But it's okay! We still won!

Burr: Somehow defeat a global superpower?

KGIII: Good question.

Hamilton: Maybe because of our fighting spirit and better armies?

Richard: Hamilton, I know you hate the British, but you guys became allies and the future for both world wars.

Everybody: What?

Washington: Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.

Richard: You were allies after the War of 1812, when Britain tried to take you again.

Revolutionaries: You deified the Treaty of Paris!

KGIII: Whatever.

Lafayette: Hi! My name can be a secret weapon!

Burr: An immigrant-

Hamilton: Okay, this is totally me!

Burr: You know and love who's unafraid to step in! He's constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen! Everyone, give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman!

Hamilton: Okay, this is no longer me!

Lafayette: Possibly me? Probably?

Company: Lafayette!

Lafayette: I'm taking this horse by the reins, making redcoats redder with bloodstains!

Philip Jr: He's rapping fast! But that was really dark and made me uncomfortable.

Lafayette: Can't I rap the truth?

Company: Lafayette! 

Lafayette: And I'm never gonna stop, until I make 'em drop, and burn 'em up, and scatter the remains, I'm-

Angie: Can Mr. Miranda not go into so much detail? Like, it's a lot!

Mulligan: What are you talking about? It's beautiful! It's poetry!

Company: Lafayette!

Lafayette: Watch me engaging them, escaping them, enraging them, I'm-

Company: Lafayette!

Lafayette: I go to France for more funds!

Company: Lafayette!

Lafayette: I come back with more guns and ships!

Angie: How do you do that?

Richard: He was a rich orphan, and had power with the French government!
