Washington's Spies

TURN 4×10

King George III: Don’t you hear the music?... Oh, Handel. «Music for the Royal Fireworks.» My grandfather George II commissioned this to celebrate the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, which affirmed his legacy. But... I fear if I were to recognize this Congress... my legacy would be the king who lost the Americas.
Frederick: Not all the Americas, sire... There’s still Canada.
King George III: It’s all ours, you gibbering idiot! All mine!

King George III: They want independence? I’ll give them blood!

Benedict: I’ll lobby the king myself for more men, then come back and thrash Washington in a way those gentlemen generals never could! Think of it... Commander of the British Forces in North America.

Maj. Hewlett: I’m sorry. I’m not going to turn you in. I was plotting to kill Simcoe, too.

Abigail: Why would you help me?
Maj. Hewlett: We’re in the same dirty business, aren’t we? If we spies don’t seek restitution for one another... who will?

Maj. Hewlett: If I were you, I would go straight to the top. He owes you, Abraham. I suggest you collect.

Maj. Hewlett: Through your New York connection? Just curious who that was...
Abraham: Hmm... I’m afraid you’ll have to remain curious.

Maj. Hewlett: I assure you, the man you knew as John Graves Simcoe... is dead and gone.

---

Gen. Clinton: Parliament is currently pondering the fate of the remaining North American provinces. Upper Canada has need of leadership...
Simcoe: Excellent! Who are we fighting there?
Gen. Clinton: No one, except the weather, I suppose... You wouldn’t be going there to fight, John. You’d be there to build, to create, to develop the territory, establish a local gentry. I mean, to all intents and purposes, you’d be Lord Simcoe. You’d do well to choose a lady.

Townsend: The only thing I regret is having to be prodded into doing something that my conscience should have dictated.
Abraham: Yes, but... we’re not looking for reward, just what we’re owed, same as soldiers.
Townsend: Yeah, but we weren’t soldiers, were we? Lies were our weapons. Sins in service of ideals.

Washington: I favor fact over form.
Rivington: What are facts but opinions expressed as truths?

Washington: In regards to the liberty of the press, we are agreed. My men are not here to escort you to prison, but to protect you from new reprisals. We shall need vigorous voices to have prod and check, lest our young country stray down the same road as the one we just defeated.

Washington: You should change the name of the «Royal Gazette.» Sometimes principle must be tempered with practicality. Good day, Mr. Rivington.

Lady Amherst: I suppose the rumors didn’t hurt.
Peggy: What rumors?
Lady Amherst: About your former beau, the gallant Major André.
Peggy: Why would anyone believe that?
Lady Amherst: Why wouldn’t you want them to? Rumors like that are the lifeblood of London society. You’ll see.

Rogers: Ephialtes. Brutus. Judas... Arnold.

Washington: Mr. Woodhull is to be the man of honor.

Washington: What is your crop?
Abraham: Cabbage.
Washington: Ah. Deceptively simple. I tested it at Mount Vernon once...

Washington: It was a very hard lesson, but I have learned well. A failure to settle accounts can turn friend to foe. Whereas the payment of a debt is freedom felt by all.

Washington: Our country owes its life to heroes whose names it will never know.

Abraham: «...The revolution never ends. It was hallowed as a triumph of the righteous over the wicked. But the battle lines were not clearly drawn. The real war, the one between good and evil, was fought within ourselves.»

Reckoning

TURN 4×9

& Ann Bates: Well, Mary, remind me to always stay on your good side.

& Gen. Clinton: One of them refuses easy money so that he may fight, the other endangers herself to spy on our behalf. If only we had more colonists like the Woodhulls. And the Bateses.

& Simcoe: Recourse?
    Doctor: Prayer. That’s all there is now. I can send for the chaplain.
    Simcoe: Don’t.
    Doctor: Colonel, if you have any loved ones... you should write to them. Get your affairs in order.

& Washington: Now or never, deliverance must come.

& Maj. Hewlett: I had a horse once. Bucephalus. You may recall him. Andalusian. Powerful, noble, trustworthy. Beautiful creature. Brought low... with a poisoned apple... Take a bite.

& Maj. Hewlett: How does your treat taste?
    Simcoe: It was delicious. Thank you.
    Maj. Hewlett: That is what mercy tastes like. Bittersweet.

& Washington: Nearly four years ago to this day, General Gates accepted General Burgoyne’s sword at Saratoga. Today, the American and French alliance is honored... to accept yours.

Belly of the Beast

TURN 4×8

& Anna: As long as you treat him as a broken man, he will be broken. Give him your trust as a friend, and he will earn it back.

& Simcoe: Is this campaign meant to stamp out rebels or enrich your coffers?
    Arnold: Don’t worry, Graves. You’re entitled to your fair share.
    Simcoe: ... With respect, sir, I came here to fight, not to loot.
    Arnold: Well, fortune favors the bold, as it always has done. Countless others in this army have benefited. Am I to be the only honest man in this war?!

& Simcoe: Muskets roaring, men screaming, the senses completely overwhelmed. A trained soldier learns to keep his head. For a novice, it can be quite frightful. And when the cannon sounds and the smoke clouds, who’s to say whose knife is whose, which gun?
    Abraham: Whose bare hands?

& Washington: His opinion is wrong! You see that, don’t you?
    Ben: Your Excellency... Everyone disagrees. The French, Governor Jefferson, even your own generals, they are all telling you the same thing. Sir, you must abandon this... this obsession with taking New York.

---

& Washington: You are making this choice out of cowardice and fear!
    Ben: And you’re making yours out of vanity. Just like Arnold did.

& Cornwallis: I follow orders, general. You might try it.
    Arnold: Yes, I have defied orders in the past but always with cause. I can read a map, sir. I know weakness when I see it.

& Arnold: You’d be surprised how often it’s the elements that you trust most turn on you in the field.

& Townsend: Well, if there’s one thing I have learned here, it’s how to spread a lie.

& Townsend: If I was a more pious Quaker, I would have stayed neutral.
    Rivington: Then why?
    Townsend: Those who sit on the picket fence are impaled by it. I was here. And I could do something. And that’s as much a reason as anyone ever needs.

& Abraham: Wait. Wait. I am Culper! ... I’m Samuel Culper! I’m Samuel Culper!

Our Man in New York

TURN 4×6

& Maj. Hewlett: Well, that’s a start. I shall contact my sources and seek to identify the culp-rits of this crime. And I assume those culp-able will have made the wise choice to flee this colony. And if they have not, they will be caught... and hanged.

& Col. Hamilton: I’ll start drawing up the plans for the siege on New York.
    Washington: The French want to attack the South.
    Benjamin: Could they be right, sir?
    Washington: The prize lies within our grasp, and they wish to settle for fool’s gold.

& Maj. Hewlett: No one cares. They think that intelligence is a fool’s errand. But they’re certainly willing to pay for it.

---

& Maj. Hewlett: What I’m talking about is my true love. My first love... Science. My telescopes, my books. Myself. It is all the company I need. But solitude does not come cheap.

& Abraham: It doesn’t get worse than Simcoe.

& Peggy: My grandfather used to horsewhip servants who lied to him. My father, a kindlier man, always taught me to reward loyalty. Which do you prefer, boy?

    Arnold: And you shall have it... Welcome to the American Legion.

& Sergeant: This is your Brown Bess. She’s loud, she’s flinty, and you never know if she’ll go off or not... Don’t think of it as a musket. Think of it as a spear that shoots. ’Cause your bayonet will never fail you.

& Abraham: You think this is the safest option?
    Sturridge: Word is the junior officers hate Arnold. The higher-ups don’t trust him. We’re never going to see battle. Ah, eightpence a day for a lot of sentry duty and drilling. Not bad.

---

& Simcoe: Thank you, General. There’s no higher honor than serving under you.

& Sturridge: We’re in shite while the Rangers fight.
    Abraham: They probably have better barracks than us, too. Along Broadway, I’m guessing...
    Sturridge: No, they’re stationed up north. The farmlands around Harlem.

& Abraham: Colonel Cooke knows I’m here?
    Sergeant: New York’s a small town.

& Colonel Cooke: Well, as the good book says, «Eat, drink, be merry.»

Nightmare

TURN 4×4

& Arnold: I’m asking that you unleash me, sir. With fear and terror at my side, I will bring the hammer of war down on Washington’s head like the god Ares himself.

& Anna: To hear her tell it, they kissed only once.
    Abraham: Well, if it’s done right... sometimes it’s all you need.

& Townsend: Is «monarch» spelled M-A-N?
    Rivington: Argh! We’ve printed 638 copies, so tonight it is.

& Townsend: «Rebels Rampage. Massacre at Lyme.» Have you no shame?
    Rivington: None whatsoever.
    Townsend: The rhetoric, the barrage, it’s all just to sell more copy?
    Rivington: What else would it be for?
    Townsend: I believe it is a newsman’s obligation to report every event as fairly and objectively as he can.
    Rivington: Hmm, open and uninfluenced?.. With work rendered as generally useful and amusing as possible without personal satire or censures acrimonious to any society or class of men...
    Townsend: Wise words.
    Rivington: From a naive young man...
    Townsend: You?!
    Rivington: «The Royal Gazette» was once «The New York Gazetteer,» ’73 to ’75.

---

& Townsend: What happened?
    Rivington: The Sons of Liberty happened. I ran opinions on both sides of an issue, but they thought that any word that did not actively indict the Crown was a sin to be punished. And punish they did...

& Townsend: You’ve let them beat you...
    Rivington: I’ve let them... teach me. One cannot speak truth to power if power has no use for truth. For all their talk of liberty and virtue, the Patriots are as zealous and intolerant as the enemy they seek to defeat.

& Caleb: He is a man. Not a god and not the devil. He loses men every day... Fathers, brothers, sons. And like any other man...
    Abraham: He wants revenge.
    Caleb: ... I was gonna say he feels each loss.

& Simcoe: Your whole future, your name depends upon the outcome of this war. Suffer defeat and you’ll face infamy as America’s Judas. Achieve victory, and they’ll build monuments to you... You’ll never quit. You’ll do whatever it takes to win. I waited for the right man.

& Arnold: As a parent, you realize that your name is not inherited from your father. It is rather a loan from your children. It is a treasure that must be protected.

& Simcoe: Just to be clear, this isn’t about payback, it’s about respect.
    Caleb: That’s funny. I got none for you.
    Simcoe: Well, I think you were showing me a warrior’s respect by your eagerness to inflict pain. To think anything less would break me would have been an insult. Now I extend you the same courtesy.

& Simcoe: If Rogers isn’t Culper, then who?

& Simcoe: Why not let yourself scream? A beast has no shame in howling if it’s wounded.

& Simcoe: I was born in India. My father was a surgeon at Fort William. And I grew up watching him minister to the poor mongrels of Bengal. Only at age 10, to see them turn on him, and throw him in a tiny cell designed to hold three men... they put him in with 60. «Black Hole of Calcutta,» they called it.

& Simcoe: Mercy is weakness. Strength is truth. Those are the lessons of Calcutta. Lessons I’ve been teaching to colonists ever since as a member of the Royal Army, in Guyana or the Caribbean. And now here in New York with you.

& Maj. André: I fully expect the tribunal to find me guilty and to recommend my execution. I beg of you to allow that sentence to be carried out by firing line rather than the gallows. One is a fate befitting an officer and the other is meant for a spy.

& Washington: Arnold is a traitor. André was merely doing his duty. I would trade a thousand Andrés for Arnold!
    Benjamin: Nathan Hale was doing his duty, sir, and they hanged him as a spy.
    Washington: Hale? Hale was captain in our militia. André is Adjutant General of the British Army. He does not hang without consequences.

& Washington: Benjamin’s beloved classmate from Yale. As a friend, you knew him better than most. Do you remember his final words?

    Benjamin: Well, when you, um... when you changed my clothes, I... I’m guessing that you had to...
    Sarah: I raised two brothers not to mention a husband.
    Benjamin: You raised your husband?
    Sarah: All men need some raising. Else they’ll stay boys forever.

& Sarah: So when you found me on that night of all nights, I thought...

& Anna: He’s not the enemy. He may be on the other side, but he was born to that.

& Arnold: Monk!
    Peggy: Beg your pardon?
    Arnold: The code name that he’s chosen for me. The insult couldn’t be plainer.
    Peggy: Monk? How is that an insult?
    Arnold: George Monk was a general under Cromwell who turned against Parliament in order to restore the monarchy. I’m not betraying Congress. I’m offering to lead an army against theirs in open battle!

---

& Arnold: My honor is the one thing that I’ve carried through this war intact and I intend to preserve it!
    Peggy: Then tell that to André. Tell him who you are. And what you wish to be called.
    Arnold: Gustavus! Gustavus Vasa, the general who led Sweden to independence from Denmark and at great personal risk to himself. And I have some demands of my own including proper compensation. I’m not some bloody volunteer!
    Peggy: Of course not.

& Woodhull: So... if we let this marriage proceed now, the only result will be the sin and the crime of bigamy.

& Maj. Hewlett: I am done with the colonies, Wakefield. I do not understand them and perhaps never will.

& Maj. Hewlett: I... had hoped to embrace this new world, but it seems the romance, as always, was one-sided.

Benediction

TURN 3×3

& Rogers: Dead man marching...

& Simcoe: That’s all right. We can settle this in the old fashion.

& Simcoe: You hid your treachery in plain sight. A mercenary through and through. Playing both sides against one another. A true American.

---

& Simcoe: It’s a shame, really, when... when the mind goes.

& Gen. Benedict Arnold: Don’t I deserve the loyalty that I have always given him? He wouldn’t even have an army to command if it weren’t for me, and yet he deprives me of command. He deprives me of glory. And now he deprives me of my honor. If they want to make an enemy of me, then I will make them mine...

Cold Murdering Bastards

TURN 3×2

& Abraham: We expecting trouble?
    Maj. Hewlett: One can’t be too careful when dealing with spies.

& Abraham: Well, it’s not that bad, really. Just needs a little... a little sprucing up, I think.

& Townsend Sr.: I take it you’re not a religious man.
    Rivington: I’m a newsman, which is a religion all its own. While others worship mysteries, I seek to dispel them.

& Townsend Sr.: From one Patriot to another.

---

& Maj. André: ... And you are an entrepreneur.
    Townsend: I suppose you could say that, yes.
    Maj. André: I’d be proud to. It truly is a new world, isn’t it? Even the air is alive with possibilities. With electricity that Franklin pulled down out of the sky and trapped in a jar... Only I assume to watch it fade to a dim glow.

& Maj. Hewlett: So this is what it’s like to be a spy skulking around at night.
    Abraham: Actually, it’s more about fooling the gullible so one can do one’s skulking in the light of day.

& Maj. Hewlett: There is something that I care very deeply about... Can I trust a rebel spy to keep his word?
    Abraham: Can I trust a redcoat officer to keep his?

& Rogers: Now let’s see what the horse piss doth reveal to me...

Valediction

TURN 3×1

& Abraham: Didn’t miss supper, did I?

& Abraham: One more day and this will all be behind us. All right? No more pistols. No more plots.

& Gen. Arnold: I am the army. And your reimbursement will have to wait as I have been forced to wait for three years for Congress to repay me one pound of the 10,000 owed to me. Three whole years fighting for our country with no recompense, save wounds got in battle while you sit in a chair sequestering, collecting from those enemies of America, your former neighbors, as they are forced to sell their possessions upon flight like the Hebrews out of old Egypt. Not enough time to take out their parlor chairs! Get out!

& Capt. Simcoe: Good morning, Abigail. Is your master home?
    Abigail: Major André isn’t here, sir... nor is he my master.
    Capt. Simcoe: Quite right. My apologies.

---

& Abraham: ...if you want to use me, you’re gonna have to help me.
    Rogers: ... That’s some serpentine shite there, boy. You and I are going to have a grand time together. Just grand.

& Rogers: Aye, you’ve got a lot to learn from me, eh? About killing. About farming.
    Abraham: I can’t wait.
    Rogers: You plant cabbages in the early summer, you get loose heads.

& Rogers: «What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.» You know «Macbeth,» boy?

& Rogers: All men are created equal. Mmm, the Declaration. I read it, you know. All men are created equal. That’s the truth that His Majesty Farmer George can’t face. That’s what really terrifies him. It really does and that’s what all those cowards like Tommy Gage and Johnny André all run away from...
