[MADISON] You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position [JEFFERSON] Though virtue is not a word Id apply to this situation [MADISON] To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission [JEFFERSON] And the evidence suggests youve engaged in speculation [BURR] An immigrant embezzling our government funds [JEFFERSONMADISON] I can almost see the headline, your career is done [BURR] I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons [BURRJEFFERSONMADISON] Ya best gwan run back where ya come from!

[JEFFERSONMADISONBURR] Um, yes [BURR] Dear Sir, 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, it was my wife who you decided to [JEFFERSON] Whaaaat [HAMILTON] She courted me Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner Thats when Reynolds extorted me For a sordid fee I paid him 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 n see consistency I never spent a cent that wasnt mine You sent the dogs after my scent, thats 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?

How do I know you wont use this against me The next time we go toe to toe? [BURR] Alexander, rumors only grow. And we both Know what we know
