Hamilton reacts to NOW!

Cabinet Battle #2

Devon and Samantha quickly ran down the stairs and to the front of the theater, pausing only to call Lin with his 10 minute till curtain call.

Alexander approached the couple, "There you two are! Thomas has been going on a rampage because of you two!"

Samantha just nodded in response, "Well Secretary Jefferson needs to learn that not every female in the world is for his use."

(Guys look a line break brought to you by Moi)

Everyone sat in their respective places, but this time Devon next to Samantha,  the lights dimmed and the music began

[WASHINGTON]
The issue on the table: France is on the verge of war with England,
and do we provide aid and our troops to our French allies or do we stay out of it? 

"In....you stay in" Laf murmured

Alexander shook his head 

Remember, my decision on this matter is not subject to congressional approval.
The only person you have to convince is me. Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir.

"Why does he get to go first?"

"BECAUSE IM MORE IMPORTANT HAMILTHOT." 

"Gentleman calm down"

"No You James"

"Yeah Jemmy"

[JEFFERSON]
When we were on death's door
When we were needy
We made a promise
We signed a treaty
We need money and guns and half a chance
Uh, who provided those funds?

"FRANCE" Laf screamed glaring at Lin who looked like a guilty boi

[MADISON]
France.

[JEFFERSON]
In return, they didn't ask for land,
Only a promise that we'd lend a hand
And stand with them
If they fought against oppressors
And revolution is messy
But now is the time to stand!

"EXACTLY" Laf and Thomas screamed
Stand with our brothers
As they fight against tyranny.
I know that Alexander Hamilton is here and he
Would rather not have this debate;
I'll remind you that he is not Secretary of State!

"Oh shit..." John looked between the two Secretaries 

He knows nothing of loyalty
Smells like new money, dresses like fake royalty

"Okay Magenta" Devon laughed, earning a snicker from Samantha 
Desperate to rise above his station,
Everything he does betrays the ideals of our nation.
Hey, and if you don't know, now you know, Mr. President.

[WASHINGTON]
Thank you, Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response?

"FUCK YOU THATS MY RESPONCE"

[HAMILTON]
You must be out of your goddamn mind

"That's not as.....ugh whatever"
If you think
The President is going to bring the nation to the brink
Of meddling in the middle of a military mess,
A game of chess,
Where France is Queen and King-less.
We signed a treaty with a King whose head is now in a basket,
Would you like to take it out and ask it?

"Mon ami..."
Should we honor our treaty, King Louis's head?
"Uh, do whatever you want I'm super dead!"

"That's really wrong" Herc commented earning a nod from Laf 

[WASHINGTON]
Enough enough, Hamilton is right.

"Monsieur?"

"This is messed up" 

"How is Hamilton right?"

[JEFFERSON]
Mr. President!

[WASHINGTON]
We're too fragile to start another fight.

[JEFFERSON]
But sir, do we not fight for freedom?

"That's our ideology right?"

[WASHINGTON]
Sure, when the French figure out who's gonna lead 'em.

"I was leading..."

[JEFFERSON]
The people are leading!

"Well I mean...I guess I'm people..."

[WASHINGTON]
The people are rioting! There's a difference!
Frankly it's a little disquieting you would let your ideals blind you to reality!
Hamilton?

[HAMILTON]
Sir

[WASHINGTON]
Draft the statement of neutrality.

"How could you.."

[JEFFERSON]
Did you forget Lafayette?

"Yeah. You did."

[HAMILTON]
What?

[JEFFERSON]
Have you an ounce of regret?
You accumulate debt, you accumulate power.
Yet in their hour of need, you forget.

"How fucking dare you"

[HAMILTON]
Lafayette's a smart man, he'll be fine.
And before he was your friend, he was mine.

"No..."
If we try to fight in every revolution in the world,
We never stop. Where do we draw the line?

[JEFFERSON]
So quick witted.

[HAMILTON]
Alas, I admit it.

[JEFFERSON]
I bet you were quite a lawyer.

"Yeah!"

[HAMILTON]
My defendants got acquitted

[JEFFERSON]
Yeah, well someone ought to remind you

[HAMILTON]
What?

[JEFFERSON]
You're nothing without Washington behind you.

"Woah..."

[WASHINGTON]
Hamilton!

[JEFFERSON]
Daddy's calling!

OOOOH SHIT
