Hamilton.
[Coming down r. of Schuyler and taking his arm.] Father, I wonder if they feel as strongly as you do about the location of the Capital.
Schuyler.
[Raising his hand to strike the small table and breaking out.] Why, any man with an ounce of
Hamilton.
Out in the cool air, father. [Pushes him on to the balcony.] Oh, General, I've noticed that there sometimes comes a moment in diplomatic conferences when a little diversion is most valuable. Should I call for you, come in [Schuyler grunts]—and look pleasant. I'll see them, Zekiel. [Zekiel exits r. Hamilton goes to his table and picking up manuscript of his bill returns to window and calls.] Father, if I could only get hold of Jefferson and Monroe!
Schuyler.
To back your Assumption Bill?
Hamilton.
Yes.
Schuyler.
If you could only get hold of the moon!
