HAMILTON
Mr. Vice President
Mr. Madison
Senator Burr
What is this?JEFFERSON
We have the check stubs.
From separate accounts…MADISON
Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts…BURR
To a Mr. James Reynolds way back in
Seventeen ninety-oneHAMILTON
Is that what you have? Are you done?MADISON
You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position—JEFFERSON
Though ‘virtue’ is not a word I’d apply to this situation—MADISON
To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission—JEFFERSON
And the evidence suggests you’ve engaged in speculation—BURR
An immigrant embezzling our government funds—JEFFERSON & MADISON
I can almost see the headline, your career is doneBURR
I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sonsBURR/JEFFERSON/MADISON
Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from!HAMILTON
Ha! You don’t even know what you’re asking me to confessJEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR
ConfessHAMILTON
You have nothing.
I don’t have to tell you anything at all
UnlessJEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR
UnlessHAMILTON
If I can prove that I never broke the law
Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?BURR
No one else was in the room where it happenedHAMILTON
Is that a yes?JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR
Um, yesBURR
“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—”JEFFERSON
Whaaaat—HAMILTON
She courted me
Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner
That’s when Reynolds 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?JEFFERSON
My GodMADISON
Gentlemen, let’s goHAMILTON
So?JEFFERSON & MADISON
The people won't know what we knowHAMILTON
Burr!
How do I know you won’t use this against me
The next time we go toe to toe?BURR
Alexander, rumors only grow.
And we both
Know what we know
