Cabinet Battle #1 | Hamilton Animatic

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    Ladies and gentlemen!
  • 0:02 - 0:07
    You coulda been anywhere in the world tonight,
    but you're here with us in New York City!
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?
  • 0:09 - 0:10
    Huh!
  • 0:11 - 0:12
    The issue on the table:
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    Secretary Hamilton's plans to assume state debt and establish a national bank.
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    Secretary Jefferson.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    You have the floor, sir.
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    'Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    We for fought these; ideals we shouldn't settle for less
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    These are wise words, enterprising men quote' em.
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    Don't act surprised, you guys, cause I wrote them!
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    OWww!!
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    But Hamilton forgets
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    His plan would have the government assume state’s debts
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    Now place your bets as to who that benefits:
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    The very seat of government where Hamilton sits
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    [Hamilton] Not TRUE!
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    OOOOhhh!
  • 0:46 - 0:47
    If the shoe fits wear it.
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it?
  • 0:51 - 0:51
    UUhhh...
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    Our debts are paid, I'm afraid. Don't tax the south 'cause we got it made in the shade
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    In Virginia we plant seeds in the ground,
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    We create!
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    You just want to move our money around
  • 1:01 - 1:07
    This financial plan is an outrageous demand and it's too many damn pages for any man to understand!
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    Stands with me in the land of the free!
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    Pray to god we never see Hamilton's candidacy
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    Look!
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    When Britain taxed our tea we got frisky,
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    Imagine what gonna happen when you try to tax our whiskey.
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    Thank you, Secretary Jefferson.
  • 1:21 - 1:22
    Secretary Hamilton,
  • 1:23 - 1:24
    Your response.
  • 1:26 - 1:26
    Thomas,
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    that was a real nice declaration,
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    welcome to the present, we're running a real nation.
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    Would you like to join us,
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    Or stay mellow, doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?!
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    If we assume the debts, the union gets
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    a new line of credit, a financial diuretic
  • 1:42 - 1:43
    How do you not get it?
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    If we’re aggressive and competitive
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    The union gets a boost. You’d rather give it a sedative?
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    A civics lesson from a slaver. Hey neighbor!
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    Your debts are paid 'cause you don’t pay for labor!
  • 1:53 - 1:56
    "We plant seeds in the South, we create!" Yeah, keep ranting!
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    We know who’s really doing the planting
  • 1:58 - 1:59
    DAAAAAMMMNNN!!
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment!
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    Don’t lecture me about the war,
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    You didn’t fight in it!
  • 2:04 - 2:05
    You think I’m frightened of you man?!
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    We almost died in a trench!
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    While you were off getting high with the French!!
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the President
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    Reticent—there isn’t a plan he doesn’t jettison
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    Madison, you’re mad as a hatter, son, take your medicine!
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    Damn, you’re in worse shape than the national debt is in!
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    Sittin' there useless as two shits!
  • 2:22 - 2:23
    Hey!
  • 2:23 - 2:24
    Turn around, bend over!
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    I’ll show you where my shoe FITS!
  • 2:26 - 2:26
    OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    Excuse me!
  • 2:28 - 2:29
    Madison, Jefferson, take a walk
  • 2:30 - 2:31
    Hamilton, take a walk!
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    We’ll reconvene after a brief recess
  • 2:34 - 2:35
    Hamilton!
  • 2:35 - 2:35
    Sir?
  • 2:35 - 2:36
    A word..
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    You don’t have the votes!
  • 2:39 - 2:41
    You don’t have the votes!
  • 2:41 - 2:42
    AHA-HA-HA HA
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    You’re gonna need congressional approval and you don’t have the votes!
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder.
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    Why he even brings the thunder.
  • 2:57 - 2:58
    You want to pull yourself together?
  • 2:58 - 3:01
    I’m sorry, these Virginians are birds of a feather
  • 3:01 - 3:03
    Young man, I’m from Virginia, so watch your mouth!
  • 3:03 - 3:06
    So we let Congress get held hostage by the South?
  • 3:07 - 3:07
    You need the votes
  • 3:07 - 3:10
    No!
    We need bold strokes, we need this plan
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    No, you need to convince more folks!
  • 3:12 - 3:15
    Well, James Madison won’t talk to me, that’s a nonstarter
  • 3:15 - 3:15
    Aaahh...
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    Winning was easy, young man, governing’s harder!
  • 3:17 - 3:18
    They’re being intransigent!
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    You have to find a compromise!
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    But they don’t have a plan, they just hate mine!
  • 3:22 - 3:23
    Convince them otherwise!
  • 3:23 - 3:25
    And what happens if I don’t get congressional approval?
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    I imagine they’ll call for your removal
  • 3:28 - 3:29
    Sir..
  • 3:29 - 3:30
    Figure it out, Alexander..
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    That’s an order from your commander..
