Kapitel 42: The Election of 1800
[COMPANY]
The election of 1800!
[JEFFERSON]
Can we get back to politics?
[MADISON]
Please?!
[JEFFERSON]
Yo, every action has its equal opposite reaction. John Adams s**t the bed. I love the guy, but he's in traction. Poor Alexander Hamilton, he's been missing in action. So now I'm facing...
[JEFFERSON/MADISON]
Aaron Burr.
[JEFFERSON]
With his own faction.
[MADISON]
He's very attractive in New York, New Yorkers like his chances.
[JEFFERSON]
He's not very forthcoming on any particular stances.
[MADISON]
Ask him a question, he glances off, he obfuscates, he dances!
[JEFFERSON]
They say I'm a Francophile, at least they know I know where France is!
[MADISON]
Thomas, that's the problem. See, they see Burr as a less extreme you.
[JEFFERSON]
Heh!
[MADISON]
You need to change course, a key endorsement might redeem you.
[JEFFERSON]
Who did you have in mind?
[MADISON]
Don't laugh.
[JEFFERSON]
Who is it?
[MADISON]
You used to work on the same staff.
[JEFFERSON]
Whaaaaat?
[MADISON]
It might be nice, it might be nice to get Hamilton on your side.
[JEFFERSON/MADISON]
It might be nice, it might be nice to get Hamilton on your side!
[BURR]
Talk less!
[COMPANY]
Burr!
[BURR]
Smile more!
[COMPANY]
Burr!
[BURR]
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for.
[COMPANY]
Burr!
[BURR]
Shake hands with him.
[COMPANY]
Burr!
[BURR]
Charm her!
[COMPANY]
Burr!
[BURR]
It's 1800, ladies, tell your husbands, vote for...
[COMPANY]
Burr!
[MALE VOTER]
I don't like Adams...
[FEMALE VOTER]
Well, he's gonna lose. That's just defeatist.
[MALE VOTER]
And Jefferson... In love with France!
[FEMALE VOTER]
Yeah, he's so elitist!
I like that Aaron Burr.
I can't believe we're here with him!
[MALE VOTER]
He seems approachable?
Like you could grab a beer with him!
[BURR]
Yes!
[COMPANY]
Dear Mr Hamilton, your fellow Fed'ralists would like to know how you'll be voting.
[HAMILTON]
It's quiet uptown...
[COMPANY]
Dear Mr Hamilton, John Adams doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting?
[HAMILTON]
It's quiet uptown...
[COMPANY]
Jefferson or Burr? Jefferson or Burr? We know it's a lose-lose. Jefferson or Burr? Jefferson or Burr? But if you had to choose. Dear Mr Hamilton! John Adams doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting? But if you had to choose...
[HAMILTON]
Well, if it isn't Aaron Burr, sir!
[BURR]
Alexander!
[HAMILTON]
You've created quite a stir, sir!
[BURR]
I'm going door to door!
[HAMILTON]
You're openly campaigning?
[BURR]
Sure!
[HAMILTON]
That's new.
[BURR]
Honestly, it's kinda draining...
[HAMILTON]
Burr.
[BURR]
Sir.
[HAMILTON]
Is there anything you wouldn't do?
[BURR]
No. I'm chasing what I want, and you know what?
[HAMILTON]
What?
[BURR]
I learned that from you.
[COMPANY]
If you had to choose... If you had to choose...
[MADISON]
It's a tie!
[COMPANY]
If you had to choose... If you had to choose...
[JEFFERSON]
It's up to the delegates.
[COMPANY]
If you had to choose... If you had to choose...
[JEFFERSON/MADISON]
It's up to Hamilton!
[COMPANY]
If you had to choose... If you had to choose... Jefferson or Burr? Jefferson or Burr? Choose. Choose. Choose.
[HAMILTON]
Yo!
[COMPANY]
Oh!
[HAMILTON]
The people are asking to hear my voice.
[COMPANY]
Oh!
[HAMILTON]
The country is facing a difficult choice.
[COMPANY]
Oh!
[HAMILTON
But if you were to ask me who I'd promote...
[COMPANY]
Oh!
[HAMILTON]
Jefferson has my vote.
[COMPANY]
Oh!
[HAMILTON]
I've never agreed with Jefferson once.
[COMPANY]
Oh!
[HAMILTON]
We've fought on like seventy-five different fronts.
[COMPANY]
Oh!
[HAMILTON]
But when all is said and all is done, Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none.
[COMPANY]
Ooh!
[JEFFERSON/MADISON]
Well, I'll be damned! Well, I'll be damned!
[MADISON]
Hamilton's on your side.
[COMPANY]
Well, I'll be damned! Well, I'll be damned!
[MADISON]
And... You won in a landslide!
[BURR]
Congrats on a race well run. I did give you a fight.
[JEFFERSON]
Eh-heh.
[BURR]
I look forward to our partnership!
[JEFFERSON]
Our partnership?
[BURR]
As your Vice President.
[JEFFERSON]
Ahahaha! Yeah, right. You hear this guy? Man openly campaigns against me, talkin' about "I look forward to our partnership!"
[MADISON]
It is crazy that the guy who comes in second gets to be Vice President.
[JEFFERSON]
Well, you know what? We can change that! You know why?
[MADISON]
Why?
[JEFFERSON]
Cos' I'm the President! Burr, when you see Hamilton, thank him for the endorsement.
