We Know

[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 1791 [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, that was my wife who you decided to" [JEFFERSON] What?! [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 and 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
