This is the same still today with the Dutch ambassador in US who claimed politicians died. But he didn’t want to answer, thank god nothing changed

I recalculated and in today money it’s about $342,927,173.91 so yes indeed a modest request from a modest man lol

S1-7 Some of the best writing the world has ever seen

´How much money do you seek´ lmao. That´s Dutch directness for you.

Were those Jewish Dutch men?

What film is this from?

Which movie or serie is this? I want to see it now!

He said "initial loan". The plan is to get them so indebted that they can't so no to future requests.

where is this from???

One of the biggest mistakes my Dutch ancestors ever did.

Who invented kapitalism, thats al you need to know. XD greetings from the windmill cheese wooden shoes people. Whe act like we are interests in your puny ways :p

The Dutch were not idiots like much of Europe. They were more pragmatic and businesslike. Always working.

These early seasons was truly top tier. No other shows come close to it back then. Not even Breaking Bad. Oh how I wish the quality stay consistent till fhe very end.

Shortest book ever written, “A History of Dutch Comedy”

I like the Dutch. They are more reasonable than the French, and more to the point.

It makes me want a glass of wine watching this show.

The place where Adams had these talks in Amsterdam was a disco in my twenties (now forty years ago). As a history buff I always liked that.

As a Dutchman I saw this film clip for the first time. I give guided tours in Leiden where the Pilgrim Fathers stayed for 12 years before they headed for Virginia onboard of the Mayflower. They took with them a number of Dutch customs. Should you visit the Netherlands some time, I’d be happy to guide you! Among other things I’ll you which US Presidents have a Dutch bloodline. And I’ll tell you how different our world would have looked should Leiden not have existed…..

Wij houden van geld

Is this Shark Tank?

They play eggball with their hands and feet. We play football with our actual feet

john adams: i have a plan dutch, we just need more momey.

"10 million, a modest request. And from a modest man"

*sigh*...when the writing was great Even the bow Jaime gives to Robert is brilliant, it's half hearted, while he bows genuinely to Ser Barristan

This show was the best thing on TV for years.

Eats and drinks and shits and fucks……so come on 😂😂

Swing of his soarrrrd. So get moarrrrrr

God zegen Nederland!

Reminds me of a Dutch Masters cigar box...

As a Dutch guy I can tell they were just waiting for him to stop yapping and get to the point

In case you ever try to do business with Dutch people: keep it to the short and to the point. If they act like polite and charming like an American it means they’ve no interest and try to tell you no in the most polite way possible. If they act like the guys above it means you’ve picqued their interest and they want to do business with you.

Seeing how lancel has gotten later on in the show made me wish Robert got resurrected to smarten him up.

I believe the word Dollar comes from the Dutch word ‘Daalder’

It does portray the dutch quite accurate

The Dutch are non-ambitious Germans.

Oh wow, actual Dutch is being spoken!

The Dutch merchants where the among the richest people in the Netherlands, at that time. John Adams has been able to loan more then $10 million from the Dutch. He had been visiting the Netherlands several times. The Dutch were among the first nations to awknoledge the independence and birth of the United States of America, and the founders of New York -New Amsterdam as it was called, when under Dutch governance!

I love that they used Dutch actors. It's so great to hear my native language in foreign productions!

The equivalent of when a child makes a ten minute long speech and at the end the parent answers “ok, how much” while rolling their eyes.

Such an amazing, amazing series.

Before this miniseries, I never saw John Adams as being so knee-slapping funny, so dry but I assume unintentionally hilarious. Giammatti is such a master actor, I can only hope John Adams was really like that. A great transatlantic tour of inception American history.

10/10 would loan to again

Jules Croiset is nothing but a legend, in Dutch voice acting. So many child memories.

this is the best scene in the whole show😂😂😂😂

The dutch did have a close relationship with america during its revolution. They sold tons of gunpowder and other war supplies and were the first to reconigze the american flag.

Bobby B's acting was spot on here

It's not that Dutch people don't care about what he has to say but he made his point in the first sentence. Beyond that it feels like manipulation to us. Yes we are very similar in ideology, yes we are sympathetic to your cause, we're not stupid and we know you want something so please don't insult us by dancing around the subject and get to the point. That is how we think, it's not about money it's about respect for our time and intelligence

Props to the Dutch. They had the shipping trade sewed up back then.

Mark Addy was excellent in this scene. Back when GOT had substance.

One of few movies where Dutch is spoken fluently
