HAMILTON:
Mr. President, you asked to see me?WASHINGTON:
I know you're busyHAMILTON:
What do you need, sir? Sir?WASHINGTON:
I wanna give you a word of warningHAMILTON:
Sir, I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is, Jefferson started itWASHINGTON:
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morningHAMILTON:
You're kiddingWASHINGTON:
I need a favorHAMILTON:
Whatever you say, sir, Jefferson will pay for his behaviorWASHINGTON:
Shh. Talk lessHAMILTON:
I'll use the press
I'll write under a pseudonym, you'll see what I can do to himWASHINGTON:
I need you to draft an addressHAMILTON:
Yes! He resigned. You can finally speak your mindWASHINGTON:
No, he's stepping down so he can run for PresidentHAMILTON:
Ha. Good luck defeating you, sirWASHINGTON:
I'm stepping down. I'm not running for PresidentHAMILTON:
I'm sorry, what?WASHINGTON:
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and IHAMILTON:
No, sir, why?WASHINGTON:
I wanna talk about neutralityHAMILTON:
Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war, is this the best timeWASHINGTON:
I want to warn against partisan fightingHAMILTON:
But—WASHINGTON:
Pick up a pen, start writing
I wanna talk about what I have learned
The hard-won wisdom I have earnedHAMILTON:
As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve, you could continue to serveWASHINGTON:
No! One last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We're gonna teach 'em how to say
Goodbye
You and IHAMILTON:
Mr. President, they will say you're weakWASHINGTON:
No, they will see we're strongHAMILTON:
Your position is so uniqueWASHINGTON:
So I'll use it to move them alongHAMILTON:
Why do you have to say goodbye?WASHINGTON:
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I'm gone
Like the scripture says:
"Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid."
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last timeHAMILTON:
One last timeHAMILTON:
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration,
I am unconscious of intentional error,
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think
it probable that I may have committed many errors.
I shall also carry with meHAMILTON and WASHINGTON:
The hopeHAMILTON:
That my country willHAMILTON and WASHINGTON:
View them with indulgence;HAMILTON:
And thatHAMILTON and WASHINGTON:
After forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zealHAMILTON:
The faults of incompetent abilities will beHAMILTON and WASHINGTON:
Consigned oblivion, as I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which
I promise myself to realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking,
in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws
Under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart,
and the happy reward, as I trust
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.WASHINGTON:
One last timeALL WOMEN:
