-1776.

The English colonies of America
have risen against the Crown.

Under the young American flag
which then counts only 13 stars,

those called the insurgents

fight fiercely
to conquer their independence.

But, in the English army,
powerful and organized,

the american general Washington

can only oppose militias
poorly equipped and undisciplined.

Cannon shots in the distance

:::

:::

Weapons, food, clothing
are sorely lacking.

Also, despite their courage
and their enthusiasm,

the urgents
wipe defeat on defeat

and are hard to decimate.

:::

-Ephraim Putnam;

-James Thomas Hight;

-Boy Halston;

-Jonathan Mitchell;

-The will to win remains.

Galvanized by his chief Washington,
the young nation gives its first heroes.

-However,

in the evening of some battles,

Washington feels
overwhelming responsibilities

weigh heavily on his sturdy
Shoulders of former farmer.

-General Washington.

-Won't you be seated;
-Thank you.

"To you, my dear marquis!

-Thank you. You've cut my thirst,
dear count.

- Gentlemen!

Using the freedom of opinion
which is dear to us,

I will declare that the Marquis
from La Fayette, very strong in mouth,

the is much less on 2 points:

wine and women!

No more than a drink,
no more than one woman!

-His wife is charming,
but she is a child.

-Challenge met !

-ll boit !

-lL BOlT ! lL BOlT ! lL BOlT !

-lL BOlT ! lL BOlT ! lL BOlT !

-ll a bu!

-OH !

-It is watered !

-Ca wash!

Gentlemen, good evening.

I bring you a gift
from our friend Benjamin Franklin.

A portrait of the commander
the urgents,

le general George Washington.

-BRAVO !

-Long live America !

-Ah not!
This is not possible !

I already let you hang
Rousseau, Diderot and Voltaire.

The police tolerate them,

but a general,
I'm having trouble!

-Stubly, the friend!

Our innkeeper speaks of gold!

The imbecile police
do not fear writers.

But without writers,
no generals.

The pen offers,
the sword has!

cheers

The place of general Washington
is between Rousseau and Voltaire.

That he stays there.

Freedom !

:::

-Archousins come here
disguises as bourgeois!

You will have me thrown
in Bastille, me!

-I will follow you there and I will reclaim
let us be put in the same dungeon.

Equality!

:::

My friends,

let's lift our glasses to the insurgents
and Washington!

:::

-A man so rich,
a revolutionary ;

-I need it! With what we would do it,
if not, the revolution;

:::

"Monsieur le Marquis, an argousin!

-Mr. The exempt.

Despite your bourgeois habit,

we recognize you. Come !

Trinkets to victory
Urgents.

-Fraternity!
-After, you will do

your report
to M. de Maurepas.

"You are mistaken, sir.

I am Sileas Deane,
American citizen,

under the orders
from General Washington.

-Welcome!

-Welcome!

"Speak, Mr. Deane.

-I'm in Paris
to recruit volunteers.

By sending me here,
I was well informed.

-Yes sir.
When do we leave ;

-All, sir, you are
even more press than me!

I have to submit the contracts
of commitment to Mr. Franklin,

find a ship, weapons ...

-Where are you ;
-The general Washington

makes you say that everything is wrong,

but we will fight
until the end.

-M. Deane, we are all officers
His Majesty the King of France.

It will not be easy.

We will be prevented from leaving,
but we will leave!

-For or, sir;

"For America, Mr. Free.

-Your franchise simplifies me
the spot, Monsieur le Marquis.

-Your task is to snatch.

Make a mistake, come on!

It's a public place.

As long as the order reigns,
you do not have to open your mouth.

-Washington...
-It's an English general.

"You take me for an idiot;
-I would not allow myself.

-Certier!

shouting

:::

Thank me, sir.
You were going to commit a crime.

-It's you who make one.

When we gave his sword to the king,
we do not make

the use you make of it.

-Ramate yours.

You wanted to give me a lesson;
I'll give you another one.

-I can not fight
against an officer of His Majesty,

but I can stop him!

To me, watch!

:::

-Your sword, sir!
And that with!

:::

-It is, it starts again!
I said it well!

Help, help!

:::

-For a painting!

:::

-It is well defended,
your Washington.

-Leave it to me!
Leave it to me!

:::

-Assassins!
-Bourreaux!

-A death, the argousins!

-Messeers of the watch,
raise your boss!

Whoever loves me follow me !

:::

See you soon, Mr. Deane!

You see ;
It begins well !

:::

cheers

:::

-I hope that Segur will win.

:::

-That's it !
"It's the Count d'Artois!

-I lose 1 00 ecus.
-Me, 200.

-Me, 3.
I am better courtier than you.

-Is such a pleasure to the king
let's play his losing brother.

-I'm playing it for 1,000 ecus!

-Pere, I lost.

-I hope so, too.
It's a good courtier.

-I did not think about it,
I admit it.

I will settle.
You stay with Adrienne;

"Certainly, my son-in-law.

The hat of Mme de Simiane
prevented me from seeing the arrival.

-Me too.

This foreigner has just arrived.

How Gilbert
could he have bet with him;

-Vessel ;

-Arrive yesterday, in Le Havre.

It's Sussex.

-With rifles;

-Sides, but rifles ...

-And the police;

-Vergennes closes his eyes.

-Vergennes;
-Sire;

-Who is speaking?
the Marquis de La Fayette;

"I do not see very well, sire.

I have a very bad eyesight.

-A Sileas Deane,
the agent of the Americans, sire.

-You, Maurepas,
you have an excellent view.

-Grace to God, despite the years,
I still see far enough.

It's useful for a minister.

- Baron Kalb will board.

-And me ;

-Franklin signed your commitment,
Monsieur le Marquis.

-Remerciez it.

Tell the Baron
that I am embarking with him.

-And your wife ;

-I'm going to talk to him.

-Look like Gilbert
looks radiant.

So you like losing so much;

-I like the lost causes, nuance.

-In this case, you have a chance,
my dear.

-Excuse me.

-Gilbert.

We are treated, Aglae and me,
like 2 horses.

-That is to say ;
-We bet on us.

Which will happen ...
-Arrive at what;

-Make the innocent, monster.

-Excuse me.
Me, I have already arrived.

Father, I take my wife away.

I have to talk to him.
-Love, I know.

But the king first.

As we lost
to please him,

let's see if we like him.

-Do you like horse racing;
-They excite me.

-What did you attend, then;

-I have the honor to belong
to the king's musketeers,

I ride a sword in my hand.

-Reponse of musketeer!

"What do you say, Maurepas;

-It would be a shame if your Majesty
lost such officers.

-Who is talking to you

to lose them;
We are not at war.

-We never know
if we are at war or not.

I had the embargo put this morning

on a ship loaded with weapons
to the Americans.

-You choose very badly
your moment.

-Not so bad.

-Pardon me, sire.

I have, in this case,
instruct your majesty

than my side
I granted the authorization.

"Gentlemen, we are at the races.
We play, we do not decide.

What's the point of having 2 ministers?
always have to decide between them;

-Your Majesty is going to have fun!

You have to choose
between Washington and Cornwallis.

-Explain yourself.

-The Count de Segur is going to run
under the name of Washington ...

"Do not play, you play England;

-A Minister of Finance is required
has safe investments, sir.

-So ... 500 on Washington.
-Tenuous. 500 on Cornwallis.

-I do not know Washington,
but Segur is charming.

I put 1,000 ecus on him.

-Me, ma'am,
I have to play on both.

"It's very wise, sire.
And you, La Fayette;

-That your majesty excuses me.

I am not playing
great ideas about horses.

If they were English.

:::

-A king who likes to sleep,
a queen having fun,

the English people we hate
but imitate,

and the American War
which becomes a race!

-Sire, I think about it.

Here for you
a wonderful opportunity to decide.

-Decide what;

-For this ship!

If Noailles wins,
you look for Maurepas.

If it's Segur, for Vergennes.

-My faith, ma'am, you are still
very good advice.

:::

Bell

:::

-Washington.

Sire, it's Vergennes
what to follow!

-The hot young man.

- I said it, sire,
races fascinate me.

-Races or insurgents;

- All young people are insurgents.

The king was making a joke.

-Nullement. It's decided.
This ship can leave.

-Rome organized chariot races.
they were betting;

-No. It's an English idea.

-Do you
that this entertainment will prosper;

-M. of Conflans

affirms.

-General Howe, in the lead
an army of 33,000 men,

crushed the insurgents.

-Devil...

Here is a very helpful man.

He's helping me out.

It's better to play
on an army only on a horse.

I join Maurepas,

who has decided
a better view than you.

I tolerated occult help
to the insurgents.

From now on, I forbid it.

-Gilbert ...

barking

-At the bottom of Passy,

in a small house well hidden,

that of Benjamin Franklin,
the sage of the American revolution.

-Virginia and New York.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

-The police ;
-No, worse.

My step-dad !

-The American defeat,
true or false ;

-True !

-Baron, I did not see you.
-We never see Kalb, sir.

All is true: Howe beats Washington,
Maurepas beats Vergennes,

and goodbye the ship.

We will not have the pleasure
to make this beautiful trip together.

-You quickly lose hope.

-''Quick'' ; 30 years ago
I'm waiting for General's epaulette.

German, English or French,
whatever.

Only grades count.

Even the American escapes me!

For me, it's the fight that counts.

Rather be a soldier
than the general of the Crown.

-It's your age.
You will find other fights.

This one is finished.

Finished!

-I hope that the opinion of the baron
is not shared by anyone here.

-By all, Gilbert.

-Not by you, Deane;

-A defeat that we overcome is
a start of victory, only ...

-Only;

-Franklin is not here.
-I saw. Where is he ;

-Aside, with a messenger
coming from America.

But I am afraid, M. de La Fayette,

that the message is:

''All is finished.''

-Finished!

Gentlemen.

Boston Congress

declared independence
colonies of America.

-VlVE THE CONGRESS!

-Mr. Franklin,

you do not declare your independence,
we conquer it.

"That's right, Mr. Kalb.

But we do not lose it either

in a battle.

-If it's the last one.

-The last one will be the one
or the English will be crushed!

"By you, marquis;
-By me, by you, general.

By all who will follow me!

-On a hot air balloon;
-On a ship, mine.

You have a boat;
-A boat, that is bought.

- '' More expensive than a conscience,
sir. ''

You are rich, but do you know
the price of a boat,

a cargo of weapons, huh;

-Freedom has no price,
sir.

-It's yours now

that you would risk if the king
learned that you want

buy a boat.

-I will already be far away
when he learns it.

-A moment.

You speak seriously,
Monsieur de La Fayette;

You could have
100,000 pounds;

-and double.

-No crumpling anyone here,

we all leave
with contract in pocket and epaulettes.

You, you do not ask anything,

and you offer ship and arms;

-I only put one condition.
-Which ;

-That this vessel is called
''Victory''.

-Bravo, Gilbert!

-And in the evening, he goes to her house ...
"Are you sure?

Is it a hiding man;
-Not exactly.

He admits: "I rush to
the ideas, the flags, the women. ''

-news 2 out of 3
for you to be wrong.

-But I love him.

And if he loved only you;

If he did not like ideas,
the flags,

and if women did not like it,

would you like it ;

-I believe.

-For me, love is so simple.
-For him too. Too, even.

He needs glory.

It's a lady who can make you
to suffer more than others.

Noise of hooves

-You are not sleeping ;

-Do not touch me, Gilbert.

-Adrienne ...

Would you kiss me
if I went out of the arms of another;

Answer me.

-I am sure that
the countess of Simiane pleases you.

-Yes, I like it.

I do not deny it.

And Aglae also pleases me.

Only they both have
something against them.

-What;

-You.

My heart.

-But then, where are you going
in the evening in great mystery;

- An old gentleman.

Benjamin Franklin.

-Why hide it from me?

-You are a little girl.

-I am a wife and a mother.

-Yes too.

Little girl, wife, mother,
Is not that enough?

Should I still charge
these charming shoulders;

-If I'm sure of your love,
do what you want.

-My leave;

-''Go'' ;

-No promise of return.

-Intentions,

that's it ;

-Yes, my heart, that's it.

And that's not all.

Nothing is easier for you
to prevent it.

You heard the king.

We are going to watch over you.
Me, especially.

And you are at best with
the fiercest of my guardians.

-Who is it ;
-Your father.

-Chiquois, where does
M. de La Fayette;

-You can choose.

To be with him, against me,
to keep me.

Or with me, against him,
to lose me.

You see what I ask
to my little girl;

As much as a hero of Corneille.

-What, with this bill of exchange,

makes a total of 1 1 2,000 pounds.

-And of 29 days of waiting.

-Kergoet,

Marquis,
was one of your most beautiful domains.

I was not going to sacrifice it.

You had to play well
a little competition.

-I would have preferred to sell 2 domains
and wait 2 times less.

-M. Marquis,

you do not judge good
to entrust to the old notary

and friend of the family

what you plan to do
that money;

It's a real fortune,
and whoever is going to get it

could wait.

There are cases, sir,
or to wait is a crime.

-So, master;

-ll have the sum,

but I do not know
what he will do with it.

A sibylline sentence, that's all.

-Which ;
- '' To wait is a crime. ''

Harpsichord

:::

-I am absent until tonight,
my heart.

This charming air will accompany me
with the one who plays it.

You have the money;
-Yes.

:::

Tonight, mother.

-It's gold ;
-For grace, forget it.

-I am foolish.

When a husband comes out with so much gold,
it's going to gifts.

-Voila, mother.
I go to the gifts.

:::

-Montez.
-I have an appointment, father.

-I know.
I accompany you there.

You're welcome.

-Mr. Deane
I am a peasant's son,

like your Missouri children,

but I know the nobles.

A drink in the nose, and they are
ready to ruin himself for a cause.

Degrise, they ruin themselves
for women.

-No La Fayette, Mr. Kalb.
-I believed it too.

But he makes me drag
since 8 days.

If I do not leave tonight,
I will never arrive on Monday.

And Monday, no more ship.

He said 16 hours.

-Later.

It is 3:45 pm

-1 12,000 books that are the ...

-You are well informed.

You know who
this gold is destine;

-Yes.
- To the Countess of Simiane.

-No. In the hospitals.

-There is only one person
who knew it?

-Each his secrets.

-Adrienne ...
-Laissons it.

-It's my wife.
-It's my daughter.

Give your fortune to the insurgents
If you want,

but give it discreetly
and do not go further.

Your sword is to the king.

One day he will be well pleased.
"For the moment, he is mistrustful.

You will believe leaving Noailles for
America, it will be for the Bastille.

-I do not scare me.
-Me, yes.

I wish for my son-in-law
another condition than prison.

Also, before you go
to your interview,

we will fall asleep
the king's suspicions.

-We are going to the king;

-No, at his brother's.
-Which ;

-At mr. 's house.

"Let M. de La Fayette enter.

-Confirm me that.

Your dress is all wrong.

This is not a confiscation,
it's a deposit.

Thank you.

-You're welcome,
M. de La Fayette,

under this roof, who will

become yours
-Mine ;

-The first gentleman
from my house is here

in her house.

But it is also, one would say,

your first news.

"Yes, forgive me, my lord.

M. d'Ayen gave me a surprise.

-I see that he has succeeded.

He should, however, have consulted me.

This charge is a great honor
and I find myself unworthy of it.

-Your name,

your uniform and your fortune

you make it
particularly worthy.

-Thank you, my lord.

But besides these goods
that you will enumerate,

there is one to which I have weakness
to hold more: my ideas.

-Ah yes, I forgot ...

It is fashionable to have ideas.

What an idea...

Birth dispenses with having one.

Youth, name, fortune and woman

are not enough for you;

So leave the ideas
to those who need it to live.

-I need it to live, and those
that I prevent myself from serving you.

-I would like to
you leave me alone judge.

-They are only a word.
-Which ;

-Freedom !
-A word, indeed.

-It raises the world.
-A part.

-The youngest.

-M. from La Fayette,

your franchise is one more title.

M. d'Ayen did not hide from me
your sympathy with the urgents,

but take it
these buccaneers as ...

like women
take their hairstyle!

Do not engage your life
on a fashion,

because in France, everything is getting old.

And nothing changes.

-Everything will change !
This would be desperate ...

And the king; What do you do with the king;

"And the people, my lord;

-ll be happy

if agitated did not praise him
that he is not.

-These shakes do not preach,
they are fighting

the dishonesty of the ministers,
judges,

the enslavement of the people!

-But it's a program
revolutionary.

"You will understand, my lord,
that a revolutionary can not be ...

-I am not the king,
but I can be one day.

I now estimate
that a revolutionary

has no place here.

Here you are informed.

-Monseigneur waits
The Duke of Ayen.

"Then what did you say to him?

-You will learn it from his mouth.

Your coat is all deformed.

-Sorry.

-I was named 1st gentleman
from Monsieur's room.

I need you
for an urgent and secret mission.

-Bordeaux, finished!

-Here it is.

Between two gendarmes;

-Thank you, gentlemen.
Leave us.

-You are very strong,
M. de La Fayette.

whistling

Goodbye !

-Come back quickly.

-The 1st mission of your son-in-law
has done well.

-Sorry ;

-Monsieur made him wear gold,
and I had the honor of escorting him.

-Do you trust that this honor
do not drive you to the Bastille.

-I despaired ...

-So ;

-That was the countess of Simiane,
Duke.

-Again...

-We play Marivaux, dear.
-And good enough, my faith.

My father-in-law must think
that I leave the emergency

for your beautiful eyes.

-Plut to God. My beautiful eyes
will not take you to the Bastille.

Gilbert, we are going to the Queen.

-In what honor ;
-Our comedy does not fool anyone.

I have the disadvantages
to be your mistress

without having the benefits.

A charitable soul, and in the
secrets of Maurepas, warned me.

-of what;

Harp

:::

Monsieur de La Fayette.

:::

-It's the first time we see you
to my chamber music.

"Indeed, Majeste.

-Maybe it's to meet there
that dear Lauzun;

Or that good Mauroy;

Or this excellent Segur,
that I no longer saw these times;

-No. It's Your Majesty
that M. de La Fayette comes to see,

on my advice.

-You transform my living room
in a place of conspiracy;

But it's so much fun.

And those who amuse me
have the right to all indulgences.

-I am confused, but your majesty
know my franchise.

-I also know your worries.

So it's to tell me about it
that you come to listen to my music.

-Yes, majesty!

-God, how funny!

"Nothing escapes you.

-Oh yes.

Alas...

Gentlemen,

the king !

"Sire, may I allow myself;

-What do you want ;

- A signature, sire.

-I go to the queen.
Your signature will wait tomorrow.

You are stubborn;

-Entement is the first duty
of a minister.

- Speak, but quickly,
I love this ariette.

It's too late, Majeste.

-Maurepas is chasing me
to your place, madame.

You are the last refuge
against this man.

-''The last'' ;

-Sign,

it's deciding,
and at this hour,

I do not want to take
that a decision: sleep.

-Exploit therefore this love
immoderate sleep.

-What are you doing ;
-Face, do not be afraid!

-Sire, these signatures can no longer
to suffer the slightest delay.

-Finally, am I a refuge
or a study;

-You are right.

Resume the music.

Let's finish, sir.

:::

"You seem embarrassed, Louis.

-It's enough.
These are arrest warrants.

Look at the names.

-What; Stop gentlemen
come to my house as friends;

-It did not come to your house
only because we have to stop them.

-I take you to witness, sire.
The minister accuses me of plotting!

-Attention to your words.

Repeat this,
It is not the moment.

-Your majesty will not make me
blame if I add another decree.

-What decree;
-The war.

-The war...

-England loses patience,

and departure for America
of M. de La Fayette and his friends ...

-L'Angleterre

should leave me well
listen to some music.

I regret, madam,
the friendship of England

asks that we choose well
his.

-Wait, sire.

The interested ones are there.

The most basic courtesy
is it not to inform them;

-I am at home, Madam,
I will bow.

Gentlemen ...

It is repugnant to the queen that we decide
of your spell in your back.

I am less indulgent, you decide
from that of France in mine.

To please him,
I therefore inform you:

I sign

your arrest to all 4.

Now, music.

-Sire, I think about it.

Is there not a more elegant way
to reassure England

than to shut up M. de La Fayette;

-Which ;
-But send it to him!

"The idea is admirable.

His uncle Noailles
is ambassador to London.

-Between parents, we invite each other,

especially if the king invites you there.

-Madam, why do I have 2 ministers
when you are worth 10;

You will go to London, sir.

Especially since I,
I have to go to bed.

-Majeste...
-Suffit, Maurepas!

It is 10 pm, it's madness.

If you do not let me sleep,
where will France go?

-How can I thank
Your Majesty ;

- Turning the head to the English.

-Suff, at least ...
-I do not like to suffer.

Good luck, London.

-My dear Noailles, leave to shock
this excellent Germain,

I repeat: we would never have
to take you Canada.

-You forget, Highness,
that England lives from her business.

And what is his business?
From his colonies.

-But if we take his
to his friends,

we wake up one morning

without trade,
without colonies and without friends.

-What a pity for France
Your Highness has not been king

in the place of his brother.

-I like everything about France:
his ideas, his mind

and his wine.

What are we drinking?

To France, of course.

To England.
-Both !

You fall well, my dear d'Ayen.

-Your Highness.

-France is on the hot seat.

Did not you promise
to bring M. de La Fayette;

Here he is, Highness.

-Excuse me sir.

I heard about you,
but I did not expect

to find you so young.

This youth
makes you nice.

-And less formidable.

-You will lift your glass well
with us has the covenant;

-What alliance;
-But that of our 2 countries.

-This would be with joy,
but there is a third between us.

-Which ;

-L'Amerique.

-America, sir,
is not a country.

It's an English colony.

-Lord Germain,
Minister of Colonies.

Monsieur.

I also heard about you,

M. de La Fayette.

You wanted to cross the Atlantic.
You have only crossed the Channel.

You finally understood
where was the winner.

-We are quickly victorious
in ministries, Excellency.

Urgents have not capitulated.

-The gold distributed by Messrs Deane
and Franklin in Paris

will not delay long
this time.

-It is not gold that makes you act
the friends of liberty.

Your German mercenaries,
On the other hand...

-lls are worth the bandits
who enlist in France.

-If this is so
french volunteers,

why do you worry about it;

-You forget
from whom you are invited.

-No, leave.

I also like the French ardor.

-Here is our guest of honor.

-M. from La Fayette, you're going to have
fresh news

of your friends the insurgents.

Hunting horn

:::

"You are French, sir;

Excuse my English ears,
but I misunderstood your name.

-Marquis de Lafayette.

You like hunting;

-So much
that I keep a memory of it.

I grew up in Auvergne,
or we hunt a lot.

-like in the west of England.

My country...

I hope to return
when the war will be over.

- It is said that it is coming to an end.

-It's possible.

-Of you, the insurgents
can they still hold;

-As long as they have a chef
like Washington, yes.

You will not give it to him
only in 8 days.

Mr. Bancroft;

-Exact.

"It's a letter from my son-in-law;

-Exact.

Why did he not hand it to me?

-When writing to someone,

it is that we do not want

-You are aware ;

But I do not have to know it.

-Maybe you can explain to me.

-Perhaps.

-My son-in-law writes to me:

'' When you receive this letter,
8 days will have gone

He left London yesterday.

-Yes.

-It did not ask you

to wait 8 days;

-Exact.
-So what ;

-I told you, I like
to help everyone.

-You are a curious character,
Mr. Bancroft.

-I know all the interest
that you wear him.

Why do you wait for 8 days

to know all the details
of his trip;

-Which ;

He will not give you any;

In general,
travelers give details.

-For example ;

-I know so little.

I only know
that he will find Baron Kalb

to board in Bordeaux
on a ship named La Victoire

to America,

or Mr. de La Fayette will fight
alongside the insurgents

with the rank of general
of the American army.

You see,
I do not know anything about it.

-It needed fast

-But no.

In 8 days.

-It's too early or too late;
-If you hurry a fast mail,

he will arrive in Paris on time.
I have calculated well.

-You play a funny game.

-Exact.

I play it even 2, you see;

-To win double;

-lnexact.
To be sure to win.

"How much do you owe me;

-Wait to have won.

-Exact.

-Let pass! London Courier
for the service of the king!

-Is it an hour
to disturb people;

Give me this fold.

Send me an estafette
on the field.

-Adrienne ...

Listen to me, now.

I'm not coming back.

I leave.

Yes my heart.

-When;
-The.

We do not choose.

I will be mistaken.

You too.

-I will wait for you.
-My little girl.

We will make fun of you.

You will have your war, you too.

Against your father, against the king,
against all

It's harder to fight

with his friends
only against his enemies.

You must know, too.

-Yes ;

-Papa ... it's not me
who informed him.

You have suspected me, I know it.

But I never told him anything.

my militia.

Look at them.

They go barefoot, they are hungry,

they only have 6 cartridges per man.

They have nothing.

There is nothing to be proud of.

But if I give them for commander
the Marquis de La Fayette

who has traveled a thousand leagues
to lead them to battle,

it will reanimate their courage more

You have to harass them, nibble them,

buy boots.

And the credits voted by the Congress;

"It's not worth French gold.

-ll first have to face
to the needs of France.

-Or expenditure
for a single party in Versailles

would be enough to go up
the American army.

For my part, I offer my fortune
to the last liard.

Washington can not defeat
with more ships,

soldiers, still soldiers,

money, more money.

-The American troops
are not made only of Americans.

Washington must take
everything that presents itself.

And we do not bend long
to privations.

-Good day, sir.

-You are also a good lawyer,
sir.

Mr. Washington will have

the 4,000 men
and the 60 ships requested.

-The Americans are also
a generous people.

They will not forget our help
if one day France needs them.

-The help of America;
Not to win a war.

-Si, sir.

The soldiers of freedom
are the best.

-It's possible.

But our not being
that the king's soldiers ...

we have to place them
under an experienced command.

Count Rochambeau
will command the army of land.

You will understand

that the king could not entrust
this responsibility

has a 20 year old lieutenant.

Was it general?
in the American army.

-I can not order
with your help

sincere and whole.

Am I here
to thwart an ambition;

-I have no other ambition
than to serve.

-I have paid very dearly
the right to meet you

can I ask you
whether in private;

Willingly.
I still had hope

to receive you under my tent.

-Thank you, sir.

Will you allow me
another word, sir;

Your army
was not the strongest.

It is rather the cause that it defends
which is the strength of an army.

-The Battle of Yorktown
marked a decisive turning point.

Victory was near.

La Fayette
could return to France.

-Now, the Marquis,
we break up.

Victory also brings
the separation.

-No can not separate
2 companions of war.

-Your woman,
your children, your friends

and glory.
Many things.

One especially: France.

-The uniform will change,
but not the cause.

God made you a marquis.

But each of us
will remember that freedom

is French nee.

-Amerique taught him how to walk.

Without you,
I would remain an officer,

a tavern haranguer.

Congress made me a general,
you, a soldier.

-You will come back to us one day,
I hope.

-In ambassador
of a new France.

-Perhaps.

-But I will still be there;

Goodbye, my son

"Goodbye, sir.

-Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

-''I am waiting for you.
You'll come back, I know it.

'' But only when independence
from America will be assured. ''

-''It is done. She is, my heart.

"Humanity has won its trial.

'' Freedom is no longer
without an asylum on Earth. ''
