Washington: You wanna pull yourself together?

Hamilton: I’m sorry, these Virginians are birds of a feather.

Washington: Young man, I’m from Virginia, so watch your mouth!

Hamilton: So we let Congress get held hostage by the South?

Washington: You need the votes.

Hamilton: No, we need bold strokes. We need this plan—

Washington: No, you need to convince more folks.

Hamilton: James Madison won’t talk to me, that’s a nonstarter!

Washington: Winning was easy, young man. Governing’s harder.

Hamilton: They’re being intransigent!

Washington: You have to find a compromise.

Hamilton: But they don’t have a plan, they just hate mine!

Washington: Convince them otherwise.

Hamilton: What happens if I don’t get congressional approval?

Washington: I imagine they’ll call for your removal.

Hamilton: Sir—

Washington: Figure it out, Alexander. That’s an order from your commander.
