- Hamilton~Cabinet Battle #2
And the Pursuit of Happiness, we fought for these ideals, we shouldn't settle for less. These are wise words enterprising men wrote 'em, don't act surprised you guys, 'cause I wrote em! Ow, but Hamilton forgets, his plan without the government assumes states' debts. Now, place your bets as to who that benefits. The very seat of government where Hamilton sits. Not true! Oh, if the shoe fits, wear it. If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it? Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid...

- Alexander Hamilton ~ Non-Stop
Corruption's such an old song that we can sing along in harmony and nowhere is it stronger than in Albany. This colony's economy's increasingly stalling and honestly, that's why public service seems to be calling me. I practiced the law, I practically perfected it. I've seen injustice in the world and I've corrected it. Now for a strong central democracy, if not then I'll be Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities.

- Schuyler Sisters
There's nothing rich folks love more, than going downtown and slummin; it with the poor! They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common just to watch them talk! Take Phillip Schuyler, the man is loaded! Uh-oh, but little does he know that his daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza, sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at Work, Work!
