Hamilton:
Mr. President, you asked to see me?
Washington:
I know you're busy
Hamilton:
What do you need, sir? Sir?
Washington:
I wanna give you a word of warning
Hamilton:
Sir, I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is, Jefferson started it
Washington:
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
Hamilton:
You're kidding
Washington:
I need a favor
Hamilton:
Whatever you say, sir, Jefferson will pay for his behavior
Washington:
Shh. Talk less
Hamilton:
I'll use the press
I'll write under a pseudonym, you'll see what I can do to him
Washington:
I need you to draft an address
Hamilton:
Yes! He resigned. You can finally speak your mind
Washington:
No, he's stepping down so he can run for President
Hamilton:
Ha. Good luck defeating you, sir
Washington:
I'm stepping down. I'm not running for President
Hamilton:
I'm sorry, what?
Washington:
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
Hamilton:
No, sir, why?
Washington:
I wanna talk about neutrality
Hamilton:
Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war, is this the best time
Washington:
I want to warn against partisan fighting
Hamilton:
But
Washington:
Pick up a pen, start writing
I wanna talk about what I have learned
The hard-won wisdom I have earned
Hamilton:
As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve, you could continue to serve
Washington:
No! One last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We're gonna teach 'em how to say
Goodbye
You and I
Hamilton:
Mr. President, they will say you're weak
Washington:
No, they will see we're strong
Hamilton:
Your position is so unique
Washington:
So I'll use it to move them along
Hamilton:
Why do you have to say goodbye?
Washington:
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I'm gone
Like the scripture says:
"Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid"
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last time
Hamilton:
One last time
Hamilton:
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration
I am unconscious of intentional error
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think
It probable that I may have committed many errors
I shall also carry with me
Hamilton and washington:
The hope
Hamilton:
That my country will
Hamilton and washington:
View them with indulgence
Hamilton:
And that
Hamilton and washington:
After forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
Hamilton:
The faults of incompetent abilities will be
Hamilton and washington:
Consigned oblivion, as I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which
I promise myself to realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking
In the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws
Under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart
And the happy reward, as I trust
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers
Washington:
One last time
All women:
George Washington's going home!
Hamilton:
Teach 'em how to say goodbye
Company:
George Washington's going home
Washington:
You and I
Company:
George Washington's going home
Washington:
Going home
Company:
George Washington's going home
Washington:
History has its eyes on you
Company:
George Washington's going home
Washington: company:
We're gonna teach 'em how to
Say goodbye! Teach 'em how to say goodbye!
Teach 'em how to
Say goodbye! Teach 'em how!
To say goodbye!
. Say goodbye!
Say goodbye!
. Say goodbye!
One last time!
. One last time!
