*I don't own anything besides my changes*
[HAMILTON]
Mrs. Vice President
Mrs. Madison
Senator Burr
What is this?
[JEFFERSON]
We have the check stubs from separate accounts
[MADISON]
Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts
[BURR]
To a Mrs. Jane Reynolds way back in
Seventeen ninety-one
[HAMILTON]
Is that what you have? Are you done?
[MADISON]
You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position
[JEFFERSON]
Though virtue is not a word I'd apply to this situation
[MADISON]
To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission
[JEFFERSON]
And the evidence suggests you've engaged in speculation
[BURR]
An immigrant embezzling our government funds
[JEFFERSON/MADISON]
I can almost see the headline, your career is done
[BURR]
I hope you saved some money for your daughters and son
[BURR/JEFFERSON/MADISON]
Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from
[HAMILTON]
Ha, you don't even know what you're asking me to confess
[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
Confess
[HAMILTON]
You have nothing, I don't have to tell you anything at all
Unless
[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
Unless
[HAMILTON]
If I can prove that I never broke the law
Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?
[BURR]
No one else was in the room where it happened
[HAMILTON]
Is that a yes?
[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
Um, yes
[BURR]
"Dear Ma'am, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me, down on their luck
You see, that was my husband you decided to"
[JEFFERSON]
Whaaaat
[HAMILTON]
He courted me
Escorted me to bed and when he had me in a corner
That's when Reynolds extorted me
For a sordid fee
I paid her quarterly
I may have mortally wounded my prospects
But my papers are orderly
As you can see I kept a record of every check in my checkered history
Check it again against your list and see consistency
I never spent a cent that wasn't mine
You sent the dogs after my scent, that's fine
Yes, I have reasons for shame
But I have not committed treason and sullied my good name
As you can see I have done nothing to provoke legal action
Are my answers to your satisfaction?
[JEFFERSON]
My God
[MADISON]
Ladies, let's go
[HAMILTON]
So?
[JEFFERSON AND MADISON]
The people won't know what we know
[HAMILTON]
Burr
How do I know you won't use this against me
The next time we go toe to toe?
[BURR]
Alexandra, rumors only grow
And we both know what we know
