Return to Philadelphia
"You must find Philadelphia much changed, Mr. Jefferson." "More changed than I could have imagined, Mr. Hamilton. Not the city itself. All cities swallow everything in their wake, that's why I abhor them..."	"I've been, as you know, in revolutionary France, where the streets are filled with songs of liberty and brotherhood, and the overthrow of ancient tyrannies of Europe...and to return from there to this, our cradle of revolution, and find the dinner table chatter is all of money and banks and authority.. is an unwelcome surprise."
"Unwelcome perhaps, but necessary."
"I fear our revolution will have been in vain if a Virginia farmer is to be held in hock to a New York stockjobber who in turn is in hock to a London banker!"	"The opportunities for avarice and corruption would certainly prove.. irresistible."
"Well there you have it. I've heard it said, if men were angels, no government would be necessary." ~ Hamilton
Hangin' with the Adams'
"It's in a state of almost permanent revolution, Monticello. No sooner had I completed it than I wished to tear it down and start again."	"I want to build a new portico, triangular pediment, on four great pillars."
"Look John, isn't it magnificent?"
.	"We were worried for your safety in Paris, Thomas. The papers are full of the most alarming reports. The Bastille Commander's head carried through the streets on a pike!"
"France is in the middle of a violent birth. You should rejoice, John."	"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It's a natural manure."
"You mean to say that you involved yourself in revolutionary activities as our acting Ambassador?!" ~ Adams	"Lafayette sought my advice on drafting of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and I was happy to oblige, yes. I was in the Assembly Nationale when it was proclaimed. In fact you could say the Constitution of France was conceived in my parlor."
	"You must be careful, John. I find Thomas much changed." Ya think?
"And MR. JEFFERSON! I will NOT have this government undermined by party politics and acts!!!"
The French Ambassador
"Mr. Jefferson - Ambassador Genet has taken leave of his senses."	"Mr. Hamilton would have us British in our economy, British in our forms of government, British, John, in all but name!" "At any rate, I've offered the President my resignation. My departure will be a great relief to me, and no great loss to the public." "It will be a great loss to me, Thomas." Hamilton: "Interesting, is it not, how political plants grow in the shade of retirement."
He's baaaaack...
