[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?}

"We needed so much help mon ami.." Lafayette put his hands between his legs and put his head down

{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

[Jefferson:]
When we were on death's door, when we were needy
We made a promise, we signed a treaty
We needed money and guns and half a chance
Who provided those funds?

[Madison:]
France}

Couple people in the audience laughed

[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
Stand with our brothers as they fight against tyranny}

"Never thought I would ever say this but...yeah Thomas...I agree" y/n smiled up at him

{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}

"That was unnecessarily aggressive toward him tommy" James whispered to him, Thomas grinned lightly at the nickname and the fact his character was aggressive

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

"Your wearing a magenta suit"

{Desperate to rise above his station
Everything he does betrays the ideals of our nation}

"Oh now your just insulting me" Alex remarked and looped his arm with Johns

"Pff it was relevant.." Thomas flushed a bit

Washington rubbed his temples "it really wasn't"

[Ensemble:]
{Ooh!

[Jefferson:]
Hey, and if ya don't know, now ya know, Mr. President

[Washington:]
Thank you, Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response

[Hamilton:]
You must be out of your Goddamn mind if you think
The President is gonna bring the nation to the brink
Of meddling in the middle of a military mess
A game of chess, where France is Queen and Kingless}

Lafayette frowned

{We signed a treaty with a King whose head is now in a basket
Would you like to take it out and ask it?
"Should we honor our treaty, King Louis' head?"
"Uh... do whatever you want, I'm super dead."

[Washington:]
Enough! Enough. Hamilton is right

[Jefferson:]
Mr. President—

[Washington:]
We're too fragile to start another fight}

"Listen..Laf I'm sorry but we had to clean up our na-"

"Yes mon ami...just hundreds of my brothers and sisters being slaughtered no biggie.." Lafayette said, Hercules untied his hair and ran his hand through it

"By god I'm seeing double Jefferson!" Phillip joked trying to lighten the mood

[Jefferson:]
{But sir, do we not fight for freedom?

[Washington:]
Sure, when the French figure out who's gonna lead 'em

[Jefferson:]
The people are leading

[Washington:]
The people are rioting
There's a difference. Frankly, it's a little disquieting you would let your ideals blind you to reality}

"He just actually has people standards" Lafayette grabbed Thomas's hand and smiled at him
(Daveedcest)

{Hamilton

[Hamilton:]
Sir

[Washington:]
Draft a statement of neutrality

[Jefferson:]
Did you forget Lafayette?}

"Oui"

[Hamilton:]
{What?

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

[Hamilton:]
Lafayette's a smart man, he'll be fine
And before he was your friend, he was mine}

"Very childish insult Alexander" Hercules hummed and kept his eye on Lafayette and Thomas's intertwined hands he didn't trust Thomas's fabulous fingers

{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

[Hamilton:]
My defendants got acquitted

[Jefferson:]
Yeah. Well, someone oughta remind you

[Hamilton:]
What?

[Jefferson:]
You're nothing without Washington behind you

[Washington:]
Hamilton!

[Jefferson:]
Daddy's calling!}

Thomas snickered at that line

"You got it all wrong Thomas John was dead by that time" burr remarked quietly

Y/n broke out in a fit of giggles as Thomas let out a deep hardy laugh

John flushed.."we..he never..I"

Alex gripped his arm and smirked "shush daddy"
