WASHINGTON:
Ladies and gentlemen, you coulda been anywhere in the world tonight,
"Yeah, like anywhere else. Why would you be here?" Washington said with wonder.

but you're here with us in New York City.
"Yeah!!"  "Shut up Alexander."

Are you ready for a cabinet meeting???
"What was this meeting about?" John asked.

The issue on the table: Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt
At that Jefferson groaned so loudly that he was smacked on the head by one of the ladies behind him, while the others laughed.

and establish a national bank.
"Huh. Mon amie. You started a bank?" Hamilton nodded while john looked at his friend (*cough-crush- *cough) with wonder.

Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir
"Why did He always have to start the meeting father?" Hamilton groaned while Jefferson smirked.

JEFFERSON:
'Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'
We fought for these ideals;
"WE- fought for them! You where in France doing nothing." Hercules said a bit angry at him.

we shouldn't settle for less
These are wise words, enterprising men quote 'em
Don't act surprised, you guys, cuz I wrote 'em
"Really? You're quoting yourself?" John turned towards him and furrowed his eyebrows.

JEFFERSON & MADISON:
Oww

JEFFERSON:
But Hamilton forgets
His plan would have the government assume state's debts
"And your point is...?" Burr asked.

Now, place your bets as to who that benefits:
The very seat of government where Hamilton sits
"HEY!! That's not true."

HAMILTON:
Not true!
"See! Lin agrees with me."

JEFFERSON:
Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it
If New York's in debt—
Why should Virginia bear it?
"Because we are one country consisting of states." Hercules defended his friend.

Uh! Our debts are paid, I'm afraid
"Yeah, because if slavery." John muttered quietly.

Don't tax the South cuz we got it made in the shade
In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground
We create.
"Because of slavery." Burr noted.

You just wanna move our money around
This financial plan is an outrageous demand
"How?" Alex challenged. Jefferson just glared.

And it's too many damn pages for any man to understand
"That is not nice to say about mon amies writing."

Stand with me in the land of the free
And pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy
Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky
"Understatement!" Washington said loud clearly.

Imagine what gon' happen when you try to tax our whisky
"Did that guy just shout 'that's my alcohol'?" John looked to the others who nodded.

WASHINGTON:
Thank you, Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response
"Thai should be good."

HAMILTON:
Thomas. That was a real nice declaration
"That sounded mildly sarcastic." Burr noted quickly. The others nodded. Agreeing with him.

Welcome to the present, we're running a real nation
"And I'm not!" "Just shut up before you are killed."

Would you like to join us, or stay mellow
Doin' whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?
"Yeah, what did you do there?" Hamilton asked smirking and Jeffersons mind suddenly began thinking of Maddison.
