Mr. President, you asked to see me?
I know you're busy
What do you need, sir? Sir?
I wanna give you a word of warning
Sir, I don't know what you heard but whatever it is Jefferson started it
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
You're kidding
I need to ask you a favor
Whatever you say, sir, Jefferson will pay for his behavior
Shhh, talk less
I'll use the press, I'll write under a pseudonym
You'll see what I can do to him
I need you to draft an address
Yes, he resigned you can finally speak your mind
He's stepping down so he can run for president
Ha! Good luck defeating you, sir
I'm stepping down, I'm not running for president
I'm sorry what?
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
Then we'll teach them how to say goodbye, say goodbye
You and I
No, sir, why?
I want to talk about neutrality
Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war is this the best time?
I want to talk about Pardison fighting
But-
Pick up a pen, start writing
I want to talk about what I have learned
The hard-won wisdom I have earned
As far as the people are concerned, you have to serve
You could continue to serve
No
One last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We're going to teach them how to say goodbye, to say goodbye
You and I
Mr. president, they will say you're weak
No, they'll see we're strong
Your position is so unique
I'll use that to move them along
Why do you have to say goodbye?
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
It leaves 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"
I want to sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in the nation we've made
One last time
One last time
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 me
The hope
That my country will
View them with indulgence;
And that
After forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
The faults of incompetent abilities will be
Consigned to 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
One last time
George Washington's going home
Teach 'em how to say goodbye
George Washington's going home
You and I
George Washington's going home
Going home
George Washington's going home
History has its eyes on you
George Washington's going home
We're gonna teach them how to say goodbye
Teach 'em how to say goodbye
To say goodbye, say goodbye
One last time
