-opening bars of hamilton-

Peggy: Ooh that gave me chills!

How does a -------, orphan, son of a ----- and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot In the Caribbean by providence impoverished

In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

The ten-dollar founding father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

laurens: WHAT?! I KNEW YOU WERE SMART, BUT 14?!

And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

Laurens: A-are they free now?

Vanessa: yes, But people of color are still discriminated.

Laurens: t-they're free!! -starts to happy cry-

Jefferson: They should have just stayed slaves.

Vanessa: -eyes turn red, and she starts to vibrate at the speed of sound- (FLASH REFERENCE WHAT WHAAAT)

Vanessa: - in a FLASH she pins Thomas against the wall, and is choking him-

Vanessa: -in demonic voice- say that again.

Jefferson: AAAAAAAAA HELP
Vanessa: -lets him go-

Vanessa: say anything like that again, and it'll be the last thing you say.

Eliza: You didn't actually steal, right?

Alex: No.. 

Alex: even if i did, you did too.

Eliza: how so?

Alex: you stole my heart 

Eliza: aww

Peggy: STOP FLIRTING AND TURN THE MOVIE BACK ON

Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain.

Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world is gonna know your name
What's your name, man?

Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait

Alex: WOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS ABOUT ME!! HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAAA 

When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick

and Alex got better but his mother went quick.

(warning: sad a bit)

Alex remembered the day it happened. He was in his mothers arms, when.. she went cold.

The doctors took Alex away from his mother, as he was screaming and crying. He was just a scared little boy.

Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying, "Alex, you gotta fend for yourself"

Alex remembers the day that happened as well. him and his brother, James, looking for their cousin, Peter.  only to find him.. Dead.

He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf


There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship headed for the new land
In New York you can be a new man!  


Jefferson sort of felt bad for the little boy Alex once was. But then he remembered that little boy grew up to be the gremlin that threatened to hit him with a chair.


In New York you can be a new man (just you wait)
In New York you
can be a new man (just you wait)
In New York you can be a new man


In New York, New York
Just you wait!!

Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton


Alex: yes?

-alex smirks-

We are waiting in the wings for you

Waiting in the wings for you

You could never back down
You never learned to take your time


Oh, Alexander Hamilton


Alexander Hamilton


When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote your game?
The world will never be the same, oh


The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him (just you wait)

Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom (just you wait)

His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him

Jefferson: he did that himself.


We, fought with him

Me, I died for him

Laurens: wait what

Me, I trusted him

washington: still do.

Alex: have you been here this whole time?

Washington: Son, i am everywhere.

Alex: you aren't my dad..

Me, I loved him.

-Laurens mouths along to that line-

And me, I'm the ---- fool that shot him (shot him, shot him)

Alex: EXCUSE ME..

THE WHAT?!

Burr: A-Alexander can be annoying, but i would never shoot him!

Vanessa: tell that to the history books..

There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait

What's your name, man?

Alexander Hamilton!!


Vanessa: Time for Aaron burr, Sir!

Burr: Yes?

Vanessa: no the song is called Aaron Burr, sir.

Burr: Oh okay.
