what did i miss?

The late eighties

He traveled the wide, wide world, and came back to this

What-did-he-miss

There's a letter on his desk from the president

hasn't even put his bags down yet!

He asked Sally to open it

didn't it say the president was assembling a cabinet and that he's the secretary of state?

He was already Senate approved and now's he's going up to New York

He's ready for whatever was awaiting him in NYC

but who's waiting for him when he steps in the place?

His friend James Madison, red in the face

madison grabs jefferson's arm. jefferson responds "whats goin on"

Madison says "Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation's very soul
Can you get us out of the mess we're in?"

he also says "Hamilton's new financial plan is nothing less than government control! i've been fighting for the south alone, where have you been?"

Jefferson replies "Uh France?

we have to win
