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 of out of sorts with a buddy of yours.
I may of 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 wanna get ahead?

HAMILTON:                                               
Yes

BURR:                                                          
Fools who run there mouths of wind up dead

LAURENS:                                                  
Ay, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
What time is it?

LAFAYETTE & MULLIGEN:                    Showtime!

BURR:                                                          
Like I said

LAURENS:                                                  
Show time, show time yo!
I'm John Laurens in the place  to be! Two pints of Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three!
Those redcoats don't want it with me
Cause I'll pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free!

LAFAYETTE:
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 [LAFAYETTE] & LAURENS):                                               
Brrrah, brraah! I am Hercules mulligen
Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said "come again" (Ayy)
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course it's hard to have intercourse over four corsets [wow]

LAURENS:                                                  
No more sex, pour me another brew son!
Let's raise a couple more…

THE THREE:
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 (LAFAYETTE & MULLIGEN):
Good luck with that: you're takin' a stand you spit. I'm gonna sit. We'll see where we land (boooo!)

LAURENS:                                                  
Burr, the Revolution's imminent what do you stall for?

HAMILTON:                                               
If you stand for nothing, burr, what'll you fall for?

THE THREE:
Ooh
Who you?
Who you?
Who are you?
Ooh, who is this kid?
What's he gonna do?
