Richard: Hello, everyone!

Philip Jr: Is it time?

Angie: Please, say it's time!

Richard: Time for what?

Philip Jr: The Cabinet Battles!

Angie: Me and PJ researched all night and found out that the cabinet battles are-

Philip Jr: Rap battles between dad and Jefferson!

Angie: You interrupted me!

Philip Jr: Whatever.

Richard: Well, actually you're gonna react to a short little cut song called No John Trumbull.

Washington: Hey, John Trumbull!

Jefferson: Wasn't he that one guy who painted the signing of the Declaration Of Independence?

Richard: Yup, he was, and he painted government meetings very nicely...

Hamilton: While in real life they weren't.

Richard: Yup, the song talks about how cabinet battles weren't painted out nicely-

Philip Jr: Like in the pictures!

Richard: Wow, I've taught you guys well. Also, some of these lines are in the next song!

Burr: You ever seen a painting by John Trumbull? (Company: John Trumbull)

Philip Jr: Yes, I have.

Jefferson: Well, I was in one of his paintings.

Burr: Founding fathers in a line looking all humble. (Company: All humble)

Washington: Well, that was definitely not the reality.

Hamilton: Yup, a messier reality.

Burr: Patiently waiting to sign a declaration, to start a nation-

Jefferson: I made that declaration!

Richard: With Benjamin Franklin and John Adams!

Jefferson: Ok, I guess I can't take all the credit.

Burr: No sign of disagreement, not one grumble. (Company: One grumble)

KGIII: However, there were grumbles from good-hearted Loyalists!

Hamilton: What do you mean good-hearted?

Richard: Well, at least there was no legal basis of slavery in England...

KGIII: EXACTLY!

Burr: The reality is messier and richer, kids.

Hamilton: So freaking messy.

Burr: The reality is not a pretty picture, kids.

Washington: Really not the prettiest picture.

Burr: Every cabinet meeting is a full on rumble!

Jefferson: Especially when I'm fighting with Hamilton!

Philip Jr: Especially when you're fighting with Hamilton.

Burr: What you 'bout to see is no John Trumbull.

Philip Jr: Hey, it's the title!

Richard: It is, PJ! Good job!

Philip Jr: I'm not a preschooler!

Washington: Ladies and gentlemen, you could've been anywhere in the world tonight-

Hamilton: You were right, it is like a rap battle!

Richard: Of course, however the next song is the rap battle!

Washington: But you're here with us in New York City! Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?

Company: *cheers*

Angie & Philip Jr: I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!

Washington: Gentlemen, Vice President John Adams sends his regards-

Hamilton: Oh, who cares about him?

Jefferson: No one except Abigail!

Hamilton & Jefferson: HAHAHAHA!

Hamilton: Oh no, we shared a moment of friendship!

Washington: He won't be joining us, he had to be home in Massachusetts for family reasons.

Madison: Tell him to stay home! 

Hamilton: He can do the same amount from there!

Washington: Alright, alright, settle down, now...

Richard: And that's the end! 

Philip Jr: Yes, the cabinet meeting is next!

Richard: Ok, bye!

Everyone: Bye!
