So you're going to write the movie, right, Tim? You can call it Ballistic: Burr vs. Hamilton.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Punishingly Intricate
Hamilton was the prototypical emigrant who came to America to reinvent himself -- and practically invented the idea of America in the process.
Plus, if my $10 bills ain't lying, a HOTTIE!

If I only had a brain...
Plus, first American sex scandal!
You obviously haven't heard about the Pilgrim who was hanged next to his sex partners: 3 sheep, 2 sows, 2 heifers and a cow. [link]
I'm just a sharing kind of gal.

Tim, do I have a dim memory that Burr tried to overthrow the U.S. government? (Well, I do have the memory, but is it right?)

But it's historical bestiality! It's meaningful!

What is even happening?
Oh, dear. I thought my eyes would be safe in here. I was just looking for some killing.
Tim I *do* think you should do a Hamilton mini-series. Now I'm imagining you doing a mini-series, and a network insisting they prolong it. Now I'm smiling. The network isn't FOX.

My agency tells me there's no market for American history in entertainment.
Maybe if the English history show becomes a hit on Showtime, you can sell that one.

The evil is this way?

Not from Hamilton's time anyway -- the short pants and powdered wigs are a turn off today. ETA: But a nice WWII "adventure" could be popular. (I wonder how "The Great Raid" is doing at the box office. I didn't much like the movie -- it succeeded in making dull a spectacular actual event.)

Oh, your poor eyes. Yes, enough with this sex! Bring on some violence!!
