What you need to know before viewing this clip: because John Adams is "obnoxious and disliked," Thomas Jefferson, Virginia's number one lover, has been writing the Declaration of Independence. However, Jefferson is upset because since he's working on the rough draft, he can't have sex with his wife, Martha. So, Adams and Ben Franklin sent for his wife to come to Philadelphia to bone him to give him inspiration to write. After Adams and Franklin eavesdrop on the Jeffersons "doing it" all afternoon, this scene occurs:



How awkward is this? The bobbing, sexual head motions during "high," Franklin's speaking voice, their reaction shots every time a double entendre is made?

If I had directed this movie (sadly, this is verging on musical theater fanfic), when Adams started to dance with Martha he would just bend her over and start fucking her against the water wheel, and she and Franklin would freak out and be like, "dude, what are you doing?" and Adams would be like, "what? Isn't that what we were just talking about?" and Martha would start to cry and say "I was talking about playing the violin!" and weep into Franklin's arms as he consoles her and simultaneously cops a feel, winking at Adams.
