Listening to Hamilton today, and I come to this part and in Non-Stop. Washington pauses for a moment before saying treasury. I feel like this pause is pregnant with him imagining what would happen if he put Hamilton in charge of the state department, a position that I've been told is a very ambassadorial one, and I pretty much see World War Hamilton going through his brain. So; "Sir, do you want me to run the treasury or state department?" *imagines what happens if Hamilton is Secretary of State. Sees world war.* "treasury.!" *inner monologue of George Washington* ~whew! Disaster averted. You're welcome World!~
