Hamilton as State humans

We Know.

[Texas:]
Mr. Vice President
Mr. Charlston
Senator Juneau
What is this?

[Virginia:]
We have the check stubs
From separate accounts...

[West Virginia:]
Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts...

[Alaska:]
To a Mr. Kansas Topeka  way back in seventeen ninety-one

[Texas:]
Is that what you have? Are you done?

[West Virginia:]
You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position

[Virginia:]
Though 'virtue' is not a word I'd apply to this situation

[West Virginia:]
To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission

[Virginia:]
And the evidence suggests you've engaged in speculation

[Alaska:]
An immigrant embezzling our government funds

[Virginia/West Virginia:]
I can almost see the headline, your career is done

[Alaska:]
I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons

[Alaska/Virginia/West Virginia:]
Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from!

[Texas:]
Ha! You don't even know what you're asking me to confess

[Virginia/West Virginia/Alaska:]
Confess

[Texas:]
You have nothing. I don't have to tell you anything at all
Unless

[Virginia/West Virginia/Alaska:]
Unless

[Texas:]
If I can prove that I never broke the law
Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?

[Alaska:]
No one else was in the room where it happened

[Texas:]
Is that a yes?

[Virginia/West Virginia/Alaska:]
Um, yes

[Alaska:]
"Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck
You see, it was my wife who you decided to..."

[Virginia:]
Whaaaat

[Texas:]
She courted me
Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner
That's when Topeka extorted me
For a sordid fee
I paid him quarterly
I may have mortally wounded my prospects
But my papers are orderly!
As you can see I kept a record of every check in my checkered history
Check it again against your list n' see consistency
I never spent a cent that wasn't mine
You sent the dogs after my scent, that's fine
Yes, I have reasons for shame
But I have not committed treason and sullied my good name
As you can see I have done nothing to provoke legal action
Are my answers to your satisfaction?

[Virginia:]
My God

[West Virginia:]
Gentlemen, let's go

[Texas:]
So?

[Virginia and West Virginia:]
The people won't know what we know

[Texas:]
Juneau!
How do I know you won't use this against me
The next time we go toe to toe?

[Alaska:]
Texas, rumors only grow
And we both know what we know
