[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-one[Hamilton:]
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 done[Burr:]
I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons[Burr/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 confess[Jefferson/Madison/Burr:]
Confess[Hamilton:]
You have nothing. I don't have to tell you anything at all
Unless[Jefferson/Madison/Burr:]
Unless[Hamilton:]
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 happened[Hamilton:]
Is that a yes?[Jefferson/Madison/Burr:]
Um, yes[Burr:]
"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 God[Madison:]
Gentlemen, let's go[Hamilton:]
So?[Jefferson and Madison:]
The people won't know what we know[Hamilton:]
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
