Richard: Alright, are we ready for "My Shot"?

Everybody: Yes!

Richard: This is an "I want" song.

Jefferson: Yay, we're gonna hear what Hamilton wants.

Hamilton: I am not throwing away my shot!

Philip Jr: But didn't you throw it away at the end?

Jefferson: Get him, Little Hamilton II!

Hamilton: I am not throwing my shot! Ayo, I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy, and hungry,

Richard: I guess you were all of those things!

Hamilton: I was, coming from Nevis, I didn't have anything!

Hamilton: And I am not throwing away my shot! Ima get a scholarship to King's College!

Jefferson: And that was the start of a lifelong grudge between Burr and Hamilton!

Peggy: How?

Madison: Uh, Hamilton shouting that he wasn't going to Princeton in front of everybody? When Burr's father was the president?

Burr: Truly, I was embarrassed! 

Hamilton: I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish!

Burr: That is bragging, Alexander.

Lee: Writes like he's running out of time, but is truly dumb.

Hamilton: I gotta say I got a lot of brains, but no polish, I gotta holla just to be heard, 

Everybody except Alex: To think we didn't know that already!

Hamilton: With every word, I drop knowledge! I'm  a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal,

Philip: I don't think coal can be shiny!

Hamilton: Tryna reach my goal, my power of speech, unimpeachable!

Everybody: TRUE DAT!

Hamilton: Only nineteen, but my mind is older!

Angie: Isn't that what Philip said when he...

Philip: Oh, Angie!

Philip Jr: Oh my gosh, you guys are so oversensitive! 

Angie and Philip: I'M OVERSENSITIVE? IF ANYONE IT'S HIM/HER!

Richard: Come on, Hamilkids, we're not even that far into the musical!

Hamilton: These New York City streets get colder, I shoulder,

Angie: Well that's one difference. Philip said, "Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder". 

Jefferson: Hamilton didn't have a father, so that's why he didn't say that. 

Hamilton: Every burden, every disadvantage, I have learned to manage,

Angelica: So...um...the affair...

Maria and Hamilton: OH, SHUT UP!

(A/N: LWYMMD MUSIC VID ANYONE?)

Hamilton: I don't have a gun to brandish, I walk these streets famished! The plan is, to fan this spark into flame!

Richard: IM WATCHING IT BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN THE WORLD HAS NO RIGHT TO MY HEART- sorry

Everybody: HUH?

Hamilton: And damn,
