Your Bill is coming up tomorrow, ain't it? Now what would you say if the newspapers came out in the morning .. With the story that the Secretary of the Treasury .. Was playing crooked with the nation's money. Is there any danger of the papers getting it? There is more than a danger. The Advertizer has got the story now. And is going to publish it tomorrow unless .. ─ Unless? Well, unless you deny it. Which you couldn't very well. Because there are the proofs that you paid the money to Reynolds. And you can't explain why. You've got me, haven't you. Now, Mr Hamilton. I you will withdraw your Assumption Bill .. I'll guarantee that the story will not be printed. Alexander, I don't know or care about this false charge brought against you. But you've worked for that Bill for eight years. No-one knows as well as I how hard he has worked. And you must not withdraw it. Well, the Bill is killed, either way. If this story of your being mixed up with this woman comes out .. Ah well, I'm sorry. I .. Well, what's the good of mincing matters? Alexander. Is it true? Betsy. Does anyone else .. know? No. Then it need never .. be known. Then you withdraw your Bill? No! No, I can't do it. I've done with bargains. I've bargained with my conscience for long enough. But I can't stand in the mud and barter America's honor. My Bill stands! Get out and tell your story. And I'll tell mine. What will you tell? ─ The truth. The whole degrading, sordid truth. In tomorrow's newspaper, I'll publish every fragment of evidence. In connection with my disgrace with this woman. If there is to be dishonor, it shall fall on me. And not on this administration. I'll sacrifice my name. I'll sacrifice my home. But by God, Betsy, I cannot sell my country. "Latest sensation!" "Secretary of the Treasury confesses scandal!" "Latest sensation!" "Secretary of the Treasury confesses scandal!" Hamilton? Well. Who'd have thought Hamilton would have got mixed up in a thing like that. Gentlemen, I'd hate to be in his shoes. ─ So would I. It don't make sense.
