BURR
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore
Alex: Gee thanks burr
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?
Thomas: That is what I'm wondering
Alex: Shut up!
LAURENS
The ten-dollar founding father without a father
Me: Gives hot cocoa and candy and a weighted blanket. Go to chill town*
Alex: having a great time
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.
JEFFERSON
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.
MADISON
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.
Eliza: Why are you always writing
Alex: Because
Eliza: you didn't answer the question
BURR
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?"
HAMILTON
Alexander Hamilton.
My name is Alexander Hamilton.
And there's a million things I haven't done,

two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden,

Alex: what is it with this song!
COMPANY
And Alex got better but his mother went quick.
WASHINGTON
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide.

COMPANY
"Alex, you gotta fend for yourself."
WASHINGTON

BURR
There would have been nothin' left to do

landlord,
tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he
can't afford
scammin' for every book he can get his hands on,
