Hamilton: And why are we not going to let Washington call us his ‘sons?’

Lafayette: Because . . . it’s demeaning?

Hamilton: Exactly.

Washington: G’morning, sons.

Lafayette: Bonjour, Papa!

Hamilton: For fuck’s sake, Laf!

Lafayette: General Washington! My old friend, how I’ve missed you!

Lafayette plants his hands on the General’s head, leaning forward. Washington patiently waits for his head to be turned for a typical two-cheek kiss, but then forcefully jerks back before their lips can touch.

Washington: What are you doing?

Lafayette, confused: Pardon me, Monsieur. I’m still not quite familiar with your American customs. I thought this was how you greet companions?

Washington: I understand our interactions are different to the French, but we’re not as . . . passionate as you lot.

Lafayette: . . . but Monsieur, that is how Alexander greets Lt. Laurens . . .

Hamilton, quickly rising from his desk to push Lafayette out of George’s office: No, no!
