Concept: Roper is King George III/Britain. Pine is ‘Murica. You can guess where it goes from here.
I thought of doing this after watching a particular scene (see below) in the fifth episode of TNM and listening to the entire Hamilton soundtrack for the billionth time.
Roper: “Not sure I can trust a man with no appetites.”
Pine: “Well, uh, you’ll have to trust this one.”
Roper: “Don’t have to. I choose to.”
I’d like to point out this was before I saw how Lin wrote in the Hamiltome that the lovely Hugh Laurie (who plays Richard Roper here) came up with the title of King George’s song You’ll Be Back. You don’t know the emotions I felt. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
