My dearest, Angelica
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day"
I trust you'll understand the reference to
Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play
They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly
I'm a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane
And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away...
Take a break
I am on my way
There's a little surprise before supper
And it cannot wait
I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate
Alexander
Okay, okay
Your son is nine years old today
And he has something that he'd like to say
He's been practicing all day
Philip, take it away
Daddy, daddy, look
My name is Philip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just
To show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can't write mine
I practice French
And play piano with my mother
I have a sister, but I want a little brother
My daddy's trying to start America's bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq
What
Okay
Bravo
Take a break
Hey, our kid is pretty great
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
Eliza, I've got so much on my plate
We can all go stay with my father
There's a lake I know...
I know
In a nearby park
I'd love to go
You and I can go when the night gets dark...
I will try to get away
My dearest Alexander
You must get through to Jefferson
Sit down with him and compromise
Don't stop till you agree
Your fav'rite older sister
Angelica, reminds you
There's someone in your corner all the way across the sea
In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning. Did you intend this?
One stroke and you've consumed my waking days
It says:
"My dearest Angelica"
With a comma after "dearest." You've written
"My dearest, Angelica"
Anyway, all this to say
I'm coming home this summer
At my sister's invitation
I'll be there with your fam'ly
If you make your way upstate
I know you're very busy
I know your work's important
But I'm crossing the ocean and I just can't wait
You won't be an ocean away
You will only be a moment away...
Alexander, come downstairs. Angelica's arriving today
Angelica
Eliza
The Schuyler sisters
Alexander
Hi
It's good to see your face
Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family
Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway
...You're not joining us? Wait
I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate
Alexander, I came all this way
She came all this way
All this way
Take a break
You know I have to get my plan through Congress
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
I lose my job if I don't get my plan through Congress
We can all go stay with our father
There's a lake I know
In a nearby park
You and I can go
Take a break and get away
Let's go upstate
Where we can stay
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
We can go
When the night gets dark
Take a break
I know I'll miss your face
Screw your courage to the sticking place
Eliza's right
Take a break
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
We can all go stay with our father
If you take your time
You will make your mark
Close your eyes and dream
When the night gets dark
Take a break
I have to get my plan through Congress
I can't stop until I get this plan through Congress
