We know
Alexandria:
Mrs. Vice President
Mrs. Madison
Senator Burr
What is this?
Tory Jefferson:
We have the check stubs from separate accounts
Jamie Madison:
Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts
Burr:
To a Mrs. Jamie Reynolds way back in 1791
Alex:
Is that what you have? Are you done?
Jamie:
You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position
Tory:
Though "virtue" is not a word I'd apply to this situation
Jamie:
To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission
Tory:
And the evidence suggests you've engaged in speculation
Burr:
An immigrant embezzling our government funds
Tory/Jamie:
I can almost see the headlines your career is done
Burr:
I hope you saved some money for your daughters and Son
Burr/Jamie/Tory:
Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from
Alex:
Ha! You don't even know what you're asking me to confess
Burr/Jamie/Tory:
Confess
Alex:
You have nothing, I don't have to tell you anything at all
Unless
Burr/Tory/Jamie:
Unless?
Alex:
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.
Alex:
Is that a yes?
Burr/Jamie/Tory:
Um, yes
Burr:
"Dear sir, I hope his letter finds you in good health and in a prosperous enough position to put wealth in the pockets of people like me down on my luck, you see that was my man who you decided to-"
Tory:
Whaaaat
Alex:
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 that wasn't mine
You sent the dogs after my scent, that's fine
Yes, I have reasons to 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?
Tory:
My god
Jamie:
Ladies let's go.
Alex:
so?
Jamie/Tory:
The people won't know what we know
Alex:
Burr
How do I know you won't use this against me the next time we go toe to toe?
Burr:
Alexandria, the rumors only grow
And we both know what we know
(know, know, know)
