Mulligan: Will someone please explain to me why Lafayette hasn't spoken to Alex in two days other than to swear at him in French?
Laurens: Yeah, he found out that Alex's dad isn't dead.
Mulligan: And that's...a bad thing?
Lafayette: He's been calling himself an orphan since I met him! If your father is alive and writing you letters, you are not an orphan! Some of us have an actual claim to the word! Hmph!
Laurens: ...I'm sure he'll get over it eventually.
#hamilton the musical#hamilton incorrect quotes#hamilton#h. mull#j. laur#m. de laf#im not sure if anyone else will find this as funny as i do#but the fact that hamilton was not in fact an orphan and his father wrote letters to him and his brother for the rest of his life#and yet he calls himself an orphan multiple times in the musical#remains hilarious to me#like...you keep using that word. i do not think it means what you think it means.#whereas lafayette actually was an orphan lmao
