[Hamilton] Mr. Vice President Mr. 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 Mr. James 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 daughter and sons
[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 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] Whaat
[Hamilton] She courted me Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner That's 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 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] Gentlemen, 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] Alexander, rumors only grow. And we both Know what we know
