[ Alexander Hamilton ] Excuse me?
[ Aaron Burr ] Oh, Wall Street thinks you’re great You’ll always be adored by the things you create But upstate—

[ Alexander Hamilton ] You changed parties to run against my father-in-law
[ Aaron Burr ] I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw I swear your pride will be the death of us all Beware, it goeth before the fall
Burr switches political parties and becomes a Democratic-Republican for personal status, and overthrows Hamilton's father-in-law Philip Schuyler's seat in the Senate. Hamilton is shocked that Burr would do this, even more so that it was merely for personal gain. Burr drives a divide between the men as they now reside on opposing parties.
