Asha Burr:

Ah, Mrs. Secretary!

Alexandra Hamilton:

Mrs. Burr, Ma'am

Asha Burr:

Did you hear the news about good old General Mercer?

Alex:

No

Asha:

You know Claremont Street?

Alex:

Yeah

Asha:

They renamed it after her

The Mercer legacy is secure

Alex:

Sure

Asha:

And all she had to do was die

Alex:

And that's a lot less work!

Asha:

We ought to give it a try

Alex:

Heh

Asha:

And how you gonna get your debt plan through?

Alex:

I guess I'm gonna have to finally listen to you.

Asha:

Really?

Alex:

Talk less, smile more

Asha:

Haha!

Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor

Now Madison and Jefferson are merciless

Alex:

Well, hate the sin love the sinner

Jamie Madison:

Hamilton!

Alex:

I'm sorry Burr I gotta go

Asha:

But

Alex:

decisions are happening over dinner

Asha:

Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room

Diametrically opposed

Foes

They emerge with a compromise

Having open doors that were previously closed

Bros

The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power

A system he can shape however he 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

The room where it happened

No one else was in the room where it happened
