We Know

Lin-Manuel Miranda

[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
Seventeen ninety-one

[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, it was my wife who you decided to

[Jefferson]
Whaaaat—

[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 n’ 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
