An: this is supposed to be after 'Schuyler defeated' which is in the next chapter. Sooooo, just read that first if this bothers you

[WASHINGTON]
The issue on the table:
"How did Y/N change that fast?" "I don't know."
France is on the verge of war with England,
"Lafayette, are you ok?" He took a shaky breath.
and do we provide aid and our troops to our French allies or do we stay out of it?
Remember, my decision on this matter is not subject to congressional approval.
"It wasn't?" "No Laurens."
The only person you have to convince is me. Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir.
"It me."

[JEFFERSON]
When we were on death's door
"Don't remind me." Alexander sighed.
When we were needy
We made a promise
"To France, yeah."
We signed a treaty
"See! You had to help." Jefferson near screamed.
We need money and guns and half a chance
"They helped us so much."  Hercules sighed.
Uh, who provided those funds?

[MADISON]
France.
"Hahahahhahahahahahhhah" calm down Hercules, John." Burr said, trying to calm them down.

[JEFFERSON]
In return, they didn't ask for land,
Only a promise that we'd lend a hand
"We had to help them. We owed them that much."
And stand with them
If they fought against oppressors
And revolution is messy
"That's very true."
But now is the time to stand!
Stand with our brothers
"Yeah, stand with me!"
As they fight against tyranny.
I know that Alexander Hamilton is here
"Thanks for acknowledging that fact, Jefferson." Alexander sarcastically.
and he
Would rather not have this debate;
I'll remind you that he is not Secretary of State!
"No, because that's me!"
He knows nothing of loyalty
Smells like new money, dresses like fake royalty
"Now you are just insulting me, dude." Jefferson rolled his eyes.
Desperate to rise above his station,
Everything he does betrays the ideals of our nation.
"How dare you--" "calm down Alexander. I'm here. Calm down. I'm here, it's gonna be fine." John managed to calm him down a little.
Hey, and if you don't know, now you know, Mr. President.

[WASHINGTON]
Thank you, Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response?
"This should be good."

[HAMILTON]
You must be out of your goddamn mind
"Ooooooo" "really Hercules?" "Yes, Burr."
If you think
The President is going to bring the nation to the brink
"Y/N look very concentrated. As if she didn't already know every word of what Lin was saying. She is a really good actor."
Of meddling in the middle of a military mess,
"Hey, it's still my country."
A game of chess,
Where France is Queen and King-less.
"So? You guys don't have a king."
We signed a treaty with a King whose head is now in a basket,
Would you like to take it out and ask it?
"Ew, no."
Should we honor our treaty, King Louis's head?
"Uh, do whatever you want I'm super dead!"
"Stop insulting my country!" "How is that insulting?" "I don't know. it just is."

[WASHINGTON]
Enough enough, Hamilton is right.
"Ha!"
[JEFFERSON]
Mr. President!

[WASHINGTON]
We're too fragile to start another fight.
"That is actually true." "Where you doubting me before Jefferson." "No sir, not at all sir."
[JEFFERSON]
But sir, do we not fight for freedom?
"Yes you do!"
[WASHINGTON]
Sure, when the French figure out who's gonna lead 'em.
"Hey!"

[JEFFERSON]
The people are leading!
"See!"
[WASHINGTON]
The people are rioting! There's a difference!
"He is right you know." Burr said looking a Thomas who just rolled his eyes.
Frankly it's a little disquieting you would let your ideals blind you to reality!
"Ha! You got roasted." The others turned to look at Alex. They where supposes at his choice of vocabulary.
Hamilton?
"Me!.
[HAMILTON]
Sir

[WASHINGTON]
Draft the statement of neutrality.
[JEFFERSON]
Did you forget Lafayette?
"Yeah, did you forget me?"

[HAMILTON]
What?
"Meeee!" Lafayette said. "Did you forget me?!"
[JEFFERSON]
Have you an ounce of regret?
You accumulate debt, you accumulate power.
"Where is this going?"
Yet in their hour of need, you forget.

[HAMILTON]
Lafayette's a smart man, he'll be fine.
"Wow."
And before he was your friend, he was mine.
"That was childish." Alexander stuck his tongue out at Burr who rolled his eyes.
If we try to fight in every revolution in the world,
We never stop. Where do we draw the line?
"That was smart said, son." "Thanks."

[JEFFERSON]
So quick witted.

[HAMILTON]
Alas, I admit it.
"Of course you do."
[JEFFERSON]
I bet you were quite a lawyer.
"I was."
[HAMILTON]
My defendants got acquitted
"Hmm."
[JEFFERSON]
Yeah, well someone ought to remind you
"What?"
[HAMILTON]
What?

[JEFFERSON]
You're nothing without Washington behind you.
"Hey, I'm actually an amazing guy." Jefferson and Burr rolled they eyes and sighed.
[WASHINGTON]
Hamilton!

[JEFFERSON]
Daddy's calling!
"Hey!"
