* Adams being a combination of extremely awkward and irritated when Martha arrives and she and Jefferson start [[MakeOutKids kissing so passionately]] they become oblivious to anything else.
-->"[pointedly looking away from the scene] Jefferson, kindly introduce me to your wife!"
* John and Abigail's first song in "Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve," both of them completely unimpressed with the other's problems:
** In response to the long list of things going wrong at home, Adams replies "Madam, what else is new?"[[labelnote:*]]Granted, in RealLife he was more worried about these things.[[/labelnote]]
** When John demands to know why the ladies aren't making saltpeter, Abigail points out that he didn't tell them how it's done.
-->'''John:''' By treating potassium chloride with sodium nitrate, of course!\\
'''Abigail:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh yes, of course!]]
** That this is met with Abigail's "more urgent" problem: a pin shortage in Massachusetts, which she demands that John resolve before she sends him saltpeter--and wins.
* "The Lees of Old Virginia." Franklin's wheedling, Lee serving [[LargeHam a large helping of ham]] quite generous-''Lee'', and Adams as a wholly unwilling participant in the entire number. After it's over, he calls in "the most revolting display I ever witnessed." Not Lee, ''Franklin'', for inciting it.
* The argument over whether the national bird is going to be an eagle, a dove, or a turkey.
