How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower, somehow defeat a global superpower? How do we emerge victorious for the quagmire, leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross' flag higher? Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon. An immigrant 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 favourite fighting Frenchman!

Lafayette!
[LAFAYETTE]
I'm taking this horse by the reins, making redcoats redder with bloodstains!
[COMPANY]
Lafayette!
[LAFAYETTE]
And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em drop, burn 'em up and scatter the remains I'm--
[COMPANY]
Lafayette!
[LAFAYETTE]
Watch me engaging 'em, escaping 'em, enraging 'em, ow!

I know.

Hamilton!

Sir, he knows what to do in the trench. Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean...
[COMPANY]
Hamilton!
[LAFAYETTE]
Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually. What's he gonna do on the bench, I mean?
[COMPANY]
Hamilton!
[LAFAYETTE]
No one has more resilience, or matches my practical tactical brilliance!
[COMPANY]
Hamilton!
[LAFAYETTE]
You wanna fight for your land back?
[COMPANY]
Hamilton!
[WASHINGTON]
I need my right-hand man back.
[LAFAYETTE[
Ah, uh.
Get your right-hand man back!
[COMPANY]
Hamilton!
[LAFAYETTE]
You know you gotta get ya...
[LAFAYETTE/WASHINGTON]
Right-hand man back!
[COMPANY]
Hamilton!
[LAFAYETTE]
I mean, you gotta put some thought into the letter, but the sooner the better. To get your right-hand man back!
[WASHINGTON]
Alexander Hamilton, troops are waiting in the fields for you. If you join us right now, together we can turn the... tii-iide. Oh, Alexander Hamilton. I have soldiers that will yield for you. If we manage to get this right, they'll surrender by early light. The world will never be the same... Alexander...
