[SPEAKER_00] John Parker was the captain of the Lexican militia, therefore defeated Vettel's Lexican
[SPEAKER_00] pom-pom.
[SPEAKER_00] Parker was a farmer by trade, but since he'd been a soldier in the French and the Indian War, he was placed in command, despite the fact that he was quite ill with tuberculosis at the time.
[SPEAKER_00] Parker went on to join the Continental Army in the siege of Boston, but was too ill to be involved in the siege.
[SPEAKER_00] the Battle of Bunker Hill.
[SPEAKER_00] Parker died in September 1775.
[SPEAKER_00] The statue of the Minuteman on Lexington Green is said to be a representation of him, though
[SPEAKER_00] since there are no known pictures of Parker, the resemblance is

[SPEAKER_00] No, it's on my birthday without me doing it back.
[SPEAKER_00] Nou, waar is mijn paard heen gegaan?
[SPEAKER_00] Ik weet het niet.

[SPEAKER_00] Het is pas te ver.
[SPEAKER_00] Parts is... PARTS!
[SPEAKER_00] I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR THOSE LOBSTER FACTS!
[SPEAKER_02] Blood's been spilled in Lexington, and there's more to come.
[SPEAKER_02] The regulars are on the march.
[SPEAKER_00] And I've been y-
[SPEAKER_01] Why do you think I'm man up here go home

[SPEAKER_04] That man's no stranger to sticky situations.
[SPEAKER_01] He'll be fine, I'm sure of it.
[SPEAKER_02] You ladies finished gossiping?
[SPEAKER_01] Parker seems to believe you're not completely useless,
[SPEAKER_01] so I suppose there is a finger or two
[SPEAKER_01] you might be able to help with.
[SPEAKER_01] When the fighting starts,
[SPEAKER_01] we'll need to hold those positions there.
[SPEAKER_01] They're critical to the defense of Concord.
[SPEAKER_01] Good boys.
[SPEAKER_01] Not used to soldiering.
[SPEAKER_01] They need someone with experience.
[SPEAKER_01] direct them that's something you can do you'd best be telling the truth it's my
[SPEAKER_00] birthday I can do everything today then I suppose all that's left to do
[SPEAKER_04] No! Ensure my men hold those positions. If the red devils break through, we're finished.
[SPEAKER_02] What would you have me do?
[SPEAKER_01] Listen carefully. The red coats will form firing lines.
[SPEAKER_01] Order the men to shoot just before the line is ready.
[SPEAKER_01] Too soon and they'll miss their targets.
[SPEAKER_01] Too late and the enemy will open fire first.
[SPEAKER_01] Understood. And if any of those bastards make it through, engage them.
[SPEAKER_04] You must keep my men alive.
[SPEAKER_00] Natuurlijk kan ik dat. Ik kan alles. Het is mijn verjaardag.

[SPEAKER_04] Wait for the sigil we did it they're turning tail
[SPEAKER_01] It takes a true monster to do something like this.
[SPEAKER_01] At least they're gone.
[SPEAKER_02] I should have struck when I had the chance.
[SPEAKER_02] Do you know where Pitcairn could have gone?
[SPEAKER_01] Back into the withered bosom of the British, no doubt.
[SPEAKER_01] So that he may regroup and plan his next atrocity.
[SPEAKER_02] I need to find him. Every day I wait, more will suffer.
[SPEAKER_01] Chin up, friend. Many who should have died today now live because of you.
[SPEAKER_02] And what of them?
[SPEAKER_01] We do the best we can with what we've got.
[SPEAKER_02] It is not enough.
[SPEAKER_01] It never is.
[SPEAKER_04] For the support of the glorious cause, I beg they will accept my most cordial thanks for this distinguished testimony of their approbation.
[SPEAKER_04] But lest some unlucky...
[SPEAKER_04] events should happen unfavorable to my reputation I beg it may be remembered by
[SPEAKER_04] every gentleman in the room that I this day declare with utmost sincerity I do
[SPEAKER_04] not think myself equal to the command I am honored with truly there is no man
[SPEAKER_04] better suited to assure Congress that I can think of several consideration could
[SPEAKER_04] have Charles Lee accepted this arduous employment do I know you I would not
[SPEAKER_02] expect you to remember
[SPEAKER_03] Come, Connor. There's someone I want you to meet.
[SPEAKER_04] I will keep an exact account of my expenses.
[SPEAKER_04] Sorry to pull you away like that, but the last thing we need is the two of you coming to blows.
[SPEAKER_03] Now, Connor, allow me to introduce you to our newly appointed commander-in-chief, George Washington.
[SPEAKER_04] Ah, so you're the one who saved Sam and John at Lexington.
[SPEAKER_02] It was the Patriots who did that. I merely lent support.
[SPEAKER_04] As humble as he is brave, we could use more men like you.
[SPEAKER_04] I'm sorry, but if you'll excuse me, I should attend to Charles over there.
[SPEAKER_04] He looks none too happy about being passed over for command.
[SPEAKER_04] It was good to meet you, Connor.
[SPEAKER_02] Tell me you have news of Pitcairn.
[SPEAKER_03] I'm told he's taken shelter in Boston, where he's guarded by a thousand...
[SPEAKER_03] and redcoats. The only way you're gonna get at him is if we draw him out. I'm lucky for you,
[SPEAKER_03] we're launching an offensive against the city in order to do just that. Israel Putnam has been
[SPEAKER_03] given command of our forces. Present this to him and he'll provide whatever aid you require.
[SPEAKER_03] You'll find him at the encampment on Bunker Hill. You have my thanks. No need. It's the least I
[SPEAKER_03] could do. Pitcairn's a dangerous man. The sooner we're rid of him, the
[SPEAKER_03] the better. I would say the same of Charles Lee. Now that's an altogether different beast.
[SPEAKER_03] Let us leave it for another day. Best you head to Boston, Connor.
