Alexandra!

Erin Burr! Well—

—did you hear the news about good old General Mercer?

No.

You know Clement Street?

Yeah.

They remained it after her. The Mercer legacy is secure.

Sure.

And all she had to do was die.

Well, that's a lot less work.

We oughta give it a try.

Ha.

Now how're you gonna get your debt plan through?

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

Really?

Talk less. Smile more.

Hah.

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

Now, Madison and Jefferson are merciless.

Well, hate the sin, love the sinner.

Hamilton!

Sorry Burr, I gotta go!

But—

Decisions are happening over dinner.

DO DO DODODODO DO 

Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room.

Diametrically opposed foes.

They emerge with a compromise having opened doors that were

Previously closed. Woah.

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; the room where it happened.

No one else was in the room where it happened; the room where it happened; the room where it happened.

No one really knows how the

Game is played

The art of the trade,

How the sausage gets made.

We just assume that it happens. But no one else was in the room where it happened.

Tanya claims...

Alexandra was on Washington's doorstep one day, in distress and disarray.

Tanya claims...

Alexandra said:

"I've nowhere else to turn!"

And basically begged me to join the fray.

Tanya claims...

I approached Madison and said "I know you hate her, but lets hear what she has to say!"

Tanya claims...

Well, I arranged the meeting. I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating.

But!

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; the room where it happened; the room where it happened.
