[BURR] How does Hamilton An arrogant Immigrant, orphan Bastard, whoreson
Somehow endorse Thomas Jefferson, his enemy A man he´s despised since the beginning Just to keep me from winning? I wanna be in the room where it happens
[BURR AND COMPANY] The room where it happens The room where it happens
[BURR] You´ve kept me from
[BURR AND COMPANY] The room where it happens
[BURR] For the last time
Dear Alexander:
I am slow to anger But I toe the line As I reckon with the effects Of your life on mine I look back on where I failed And in every place I checked The only common thread has been your disrespect Now you call me “amoral,” A “dangerous disgrace,” If you´ve got something to say Name a time and place Face to face
I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant A dot Burr
[HAMILTON] Mr. Vice President:
I am not the reason no one trusts you No one knows what you believe I will not equivocate on my opinion I have always worn it on my sleeve Even if I said what you think I said You would need to cite a more specific grievance Here´s an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements
[BURR] Sweet Jesus
[HAMILTON] Hey, I have not been shy
I am just a guy in the public eye Tryin´ to do my best for our republic I don´t wanna fight But I won´t apologize for doing what´s right
I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant A dot Ham
[BURR] Careful how you proceed, good man Intemperate indeed, good man Answer for the accusations I lay at your feet or Prepare to bleed, good man
[HAMILTON] Burr, your grievance is legitimate I stand by what I said, every bit of it You stand only for yourself
It´s what you do I can´t apologize because it´s true
[BURR] Then stand, Alexander Weehawken. Dawn Guns. Drawn
[HAMILTON] You´re on
[BURR AND HAMILTON] I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant
