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)
