Lin-Manuel Miranda

[BURR]

How does Hamilton the short-tempered

Protean creator of the Coast Guard

Founder of the New York Post

Ardently abuse his cab’net post

Destroy his reputation?

Welcome, folks, to

[BURR/COMPANY]

The Adams administration!

Jefferson’s the runner-up, which makes him the Vice President

[JEFFERSON]

Washington can’t help you now, no more mister nice President

[BURR]

Adams fires Hamilton

Privately calls him “creole bastard” in his taunts

[JEFFERSON]

Say what?!

[BURR]

Hamilton publishes his response

[HAMILTON]

Sit down, John, you fat mother—[BLEEP]

[BURR]

Hamilton is out of control

[MADISON]

This is great! He’s out of power. He holds no office. And he just destroyed President John Adams, the only other significant member of his party

[JEFFERSON]

Hamilton’s a host unto himself. As long as he can hold a pen, he’s a threat. Let’s let him know what we know
