Company:
1776
New York City
Hamilton:
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
Burr:
That depends, who's asking?
Hamilton:
Oh well sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton
I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
Burr:
I'm getting nervous
Hamilton:
Sir, I heard your name at Princeton
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort out of sorts with a buddy of yours
I may have punched him
It's a blur, sir
He handles the financials
Burr:
You punched the bursar?
Hamilton:
Yes, I wanted to do what you did
Graduate in two, then join the revolution
He looked at me like I was stupid
I'm not stupid
So how'd you do it?
How'd you graduate so fast?
Burr:
It was my parents' dying wish before they passed
Hamilton:
You're an orphan
Of course, I'm an orphan
God, I wish there was a war!
Then we could prove that we're worth more
Than anyone bargained for
Burr:
Can I buy you a drink?
Hamilton:
That would be nice
Burr:
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
Hamilton:
What?
Burr:
Smile more
Hamilton:
Ha
Burr:
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
Hamilton:
You can't be serious
Burr:
You want to get ahead?
Hamilton:
Yes
Burr:
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
Laurens:
Yo yo yo yo yo! What time is it?
Laurens, mulligan:
Showtime!
Burr:
...Like I said...
Laurens:
Showtime! Showtime! Yo!
I'm John Laurens in the place to be!
Uh, two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm working on three, uh!
Those redcoats don't want it with me
'Cause I will pop chick-a-pop these cops till I'm free!
Lafayette:
Ah oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!"
Tell the king, "Casse-toi!" Who's the best? C'est moi!
Mulligan:
Brrrah, brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it
Yes I heard your mother say "come again?"
Laurens, lafayette:
Ay
Mulligan:
Lock up your daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets
Laurens:
No more sex
Pour me another brew, son!
Let's raise a couple more
Laurens, lafayette, mulligan:
To the revolution!
Laurens:
Well if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College
Mulligan:
Aaron Burr
Laurens:
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge
Burr:
Good luck with that
You're takin' a stand
You spit, I'mma sit
We'll see where we land
Laurens:
Burr, the revolution's imminent
What do you stall for?
Hamilton:
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?
Laurens:
Who are you?
Mulligan:
Who are you?
Lafayette:
Who are you?
Laurens, mulligan, lafayette:
Who, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
