HAMILTON:
Mr. President, you asked to see me?
WASHINGTON:
I know you're busy
HAMILTON:
What do you need, sir? Sir?
WASHINGTON:
I wanna give you a word of warning
HAMILTON:
Sir, I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is, Jefferson started it
WASHINGTON:
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
HAMILTON:
You're kidding
WASHINGTON:
I need a favor
HAMILTON:
Whatever you say, sir, Jefferson will pay for his behavior
WASHINGTON:
Shh. Talk less
HAMILTON:
I'll use the press
I'll write under a pseudonym, you'll see what I can do to him
WASHINGTON:
I need you to draft an address
HAMILTON:
Yes! He resigned. You can finally speak your mind
WASHINGTON:
No, he's stepping down so he can run for President
HAMILTON:
Ha. Good luck defeating you, sir
WASHINGTON:
I'm stepping down. I'm not running for President
HAMILTON:
I'm sorry, what?
WASHINGTON:
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
HAMILTON:
No, sir, why?
WASHINGTON:
I wanna talk about neutrality
HAMILTON:
Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war, is this the best time
WASHINGTON:
I want to warn against partisan fighting
HAMILTON:
But—
WASHINGTON:
Pick up a pen, start writing
I wanna talk about what I have learned
The hard-won wisdom I have earned
HAMILTON:
As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve, you could continue to serve
WASHINGTON:
