One of my favourite songs in my life, think about it, I just love Leslie singing, it's one of my favourite things to listen to. Fact: Burr's daughter got lost at sea at the age of 29.

"Ah, Mrs.Secretary," I say.

"Mr. Tucker, sir," she says, smiling.

"Did'ya hear the news about good old General Stoley?" I ask.

"No," she says.

"You know Clermont street?" I ask.

"Yeah," she says.

"They renamed it after him, the Stoley legacy is secure," I say.

"Sure," she says, smiling at the word 'legacy.' Goddamn this woman, she's not even capable of taking a break!

"And all he had to do is die," I say.

"That's a lot less work," she admits.

"We ought to give it a try," I say.

We both laugh.

"Now how're you gonna get your debt plan through?" I ask.

"I guess I'm gonna finally have to listen to you," she says.

I laugh.

"Really?" I ask.

"Talk less," she says.

Her voice can be a lot more terrifying saying those words than I remember.

"Smile more," she says.

She has a voice that makes you back away and do as she says.

"Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor," she admits with the voice she normally talks with.

"Now, Malkison and Nelson are ruthless," I say.

"Hate the sin, love the sinner," she says.

It's terrifying how easily she changes her voice between three. Normal, authoritative and wooing.

"Testaburger."

"I'm sorry, Craig, I have to go," she says.

"But-," I say.

"Decisions are happening over dinner," she says.

She goes in. Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room. Diametrically opposed.... foes....

~Time skip.~

They emerge with a compromise, having opened doors that were previously closed, bros.

The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power, a system she can shape however she wants! The Virginians emerge with the nation's capital and here's the pièce de résistance..... no one else was in the room where it happened. The room where it happened had three people in it! The room where it happened has nothing to tell now, at least from the little that's possible to see. No one else was in the room where it happened! None of the important people outside of the three were in the room where it happened. No one was in the room where it happened. The room where it happened was supposed to be an open place, nobody knows what happened even if this effects our money.
