{{quote|'''Edward Rutledge''': "I was wondering if you could repeat a small passage: The one beginning [[Slavery|'He has waged Cruel War']]" *Jefferson stands up abruptly*}}
** Moments earlier, when Rutledge takes the floor, Franklin murmurs to Adams, "Look out."
* [[The Oner]]/[[Epic Tracking Shot]]: In the movie, the opening scene of Adams descending the staircase from the bell tower, entering the Continental Congress, and delivering his opening monologue before the first song is all one take. The filmmakers note in the DVD commentary how difficult it was building a camera rig that would give a smooth transition from descending from the ceiling into the Congress chamber. There's a noticeable bump as the camera is wheeled off the extending platform used to film the stairs part of the shot.
* [[Overused Running Gag]]: Usually lampshaded at the end of the "Lees of Old Virginia" reprise. Lee ''would'' keep going, if only Franklin and Adams were not forcibly removing him from the stage.
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: The cards Hopkins had printed up, of which Franklin wants a dozen -- "Dear sir: You are, without any doubt, a rogue, a rascal, a villain, a thief, a scoundrel and a mean, dirty, stinking, sniveling, sneaking, pimping, pocket-picking, thrice double-damned no-good son-of-a-bitch."
