[00:01.920]Ah,Mr. Secretary
[00:03.462]Mr. Burr,sir
[00:04.820]Did you hear the news about good old General Mercer?
[00:07.981]No
[00:08.216]You know Clermont Street?
[00:09.600]Yeah
[00:10.280]They renamed it after him
[00:11.220]The Mercer legacy is secure
[00:13.153]Sure
[00:14.198]And all he had to do is die
[00:15.765]Yeah,that's a lot less work
[00:17.254]We ought to give it a try
[00:18.560]Ha
[00:19.031]Now,how you gonna get your debt plan through?
[00:21.591]I guess I'm gonna finally have to listen to you
[00:24.203]Really?
[00:25.143]Talk less,smile more
[00:29.506]Haha!
[00:30.394]Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor
[00:36.010]Now,Madison and Jefferson are merciless
[00:38.570]Well,hate the sin,love the sinner
[00:41.052]Hamilton!
[00:42.175]I'm sorry Burr,I've gotta go
[00:43.533]But!
[00:44.422]Decisions are happening over dinner
[00:49.411]Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room
[00:52.284]Diametrically opposed,foes
[00:55.080]They emerge with a compromise
[00:56.856]Having open doors that were previously closed,bros
[01:00.252]The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power
[01:03.569]A system he can shape however he wants
[01:06.260]The Virginians emerge with the nation's capital
[01:09.760]And here's the pièce de résistance
[01:11.876]No one else was in the room where it happened
[01:13.992]The room where it happened
[01:15.351]The room where it happened
[01:17.258]No one else was in the room where it happened
[01:19.582]The room where it happened
[01:20.915]The room where it happened
[01:22.299]No one really knows how the game is played
[01:24.938]The art of the trade,how the sausage gets made
[01:28.360]We just assume that it happens
[01:31.076]But no one else is in the room where it happens
[01:36.222]Thomas claims—
[01:37.267]Alexander was on Washington's doorstep
[01:39.853]One day in distress and disarray
[01:41.734]Thomas claims—
[01:42.779]Alexander said,"I've nowhere else to turn"
[01:44.973]And basically begged me to join the fray
[01:47.298]Thomas claims—
[01:48.422]I approached Madison and said,"I know you hate him
[01:51.321]But let's hear what he has to say"
[01:52.889]Thomas claims—
[01:53.907]Well,I arranged the meeting
[01:55.501]I arranged the menu,the venue,the seating
[01:58.244]But!
[01:58.662]No one else was in the room where it happened
[02:00.987]The room where it happened
[02:02.397]The room where it happened
[02:04.200]No one else was in the room where it happened
[02:06.498]The room where it happened
[02:07.883]The room where it happened
[02:09.450]No one really knows how the parties get to "yes"
[02:11.932]The pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess
[02:15.276]We just assume that it happens
[02:17.966]But no one else is in the room where it happens
[02:23.086]Meanwhile—
[02:23.818]Madison is grappling with the fact
[02:25.698]That not every issue can be settled by committee
[02:28.598]Meanwhile—
[02:29.408]Congress is fighting over where to put the capital
[02:33.248]It isn't pretty
[02:34.136]Then Jefferson approaches with a dinner and invite
[02:36.853]And Madison responds with Virginian insight
[02:39.439]Maybe we can solve one problem with another
[02:42.417]And win a victory for the southerners, in other words
[02:45.186]Oh-ho!
[02:45.891]A quid pro quo
[02:47.067]I suppose
[02:47.981]Wouldn't you like to work a little closer to home?
[02:50.253]Actually, I would
[02:51.664]Well, I propose the Potomac
[02:53.205]And you'll provide him his votes?
[02:54.459]Well, we'll see how it goes
[02:55.765]Let's go
[02:56.471]No one else was in the room where it happened
[02:58.978]The room where it happened
[03:00.337]The room where it happened
[03:02.139]No one else was in the room where it happened
[03:04.464]The room where it happened
[03:05.822]The room where it happened
[03:07.651]My God! In God we trust
[03:09.715]But we'll never really know what got discussed
[03:13.189]Click-boom then it happened
[03:15.958]And no one else was in the room where it happened
[03:18.335]Alexander Hamilton!
[03:19.589]What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river?
[03:23.847]Alexander Hamilton!
[03:25.101]Did Washington know about the dinner?
[03:27.034]Was there presidential pressure to deliver?
[03:29.333]Alexander Hamilton!
[03:31.213]Or did you know, even then, it doesn't matter where you put the U.S. capital
[03:35.027]Cuz we'll have the banks, we're in the same spot
[03:37.744]You got more than you gave
[03:38.920]And I wanted what I got
[03:40.356]When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game
[03:43.465]But you don't get a win unless you play in the game
[03:46.156]You get love for it
[03:47.436]You get hate for it
[03:48.820]You get nothing if you
[03:50.048]Wait for it, wait for it, wait
[03:52.921]God help and forgive me,
[03:54.306]I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me
[03:57.127]What do you want Burr?(What do you want Burr?)
[03:58.433]What do you want Burr?(What do you want Burr?)
[03:59.844]If you stand for nothing, Burr, what do you fall for?
[04:03.266]I— wanna be in the room where it happens
[04:07.158]The room where it happens
[04:09.065]I— wanna be in the room where it happens
[04:12.983]The room where it happens
[04:15.726]I
[04:16.980]I wanna be in
[04:18.469]The room where it happens
[04:20.141]I
[04:21.813]I wanna be in the room
[04:24.686]Oh
[04:26.123]Oh,oh
[04:28.422]I wanna be
[04:29.545]I wanna be in
[04:30.929]I've got to be
[04:32.183]I've got to be
[04:33.620]In the room
[04:34.978]In that big ol' room
[04:36.781]The art of the compromise
[04:39.707]Hold your nose and close your eyes
[04:42.528]We want our leaders to save the day
[04:45.244]But we don't get a say in what they trade away
[04:48.301]We dream of a brand new star
[04:50.809]But we dream in the dark, for the most part
[04:53.813]Dark as a tomb where it happens
[04:56.294]I've got to be in the room(The room where it happens)
[04:59.429]I've got to be
[05:00.317]The room where it happens
[05:02.041]I've got to be
[05:03.086]The room where it happens
[05:04.627]Oh, I've got to be in the room where it happens(The room where it happens)
[05:07.161]I've got to be, I've gotta be, I've gotta be—(The room where it happens)
[05:10.374]in the room(I wanna be in the room where it happens)
[05:14.476]Click-boom!
