B: Thomas Claims:

J: Alexander was on Washington’s doorstep one day in distress and disarray

B: Thomas Claims:

J: Alexander said
A: I’ve nowhere else to turn!

J: And basically begged me to join the fray

B: Thomas Claims:

J: I approach Madison and say, "I know you hate him, but let's hear what he has to say."

J: Well I arranged the meeting

J: I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating.

B: BUT! No one else was in the room where it happened

B: The room where it happened. The room where it happened. The room where it happened. x2

No one really knows how the parties get to yes. The pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess

B: We just assumed that it happened. No one else was in the room where it happened.

Meanwhile, Madison is grappling with the fact that not every issue can be settled by committee

Meanwhile, Congress is fighting over where to put the capital. Overlapped voices. It isn't pretty.

Then Jefferson approaches with a dinner and invite. And Madison responds with Virginian insight.

M: Maybe we could solve one problem with another and win a victory for the southerners. In other words

Oh-ho! A quid pro quo.

J: I suppose.
M: Wouldn't you like to work a little closer to home?

Actually, I would.

M: Well, I propose the Potomac

And you’ll provide him his votes?

Well, we'll see how it goes.

Let's go.

NO- one else was in the room where it happened. The room where it happened.
