(A/N: Act 1 is done!)


[BURR]

After the war I went back to New York

[HAMILTON]

A-After the war I went back to New York

"Bit of a copycat, huh, Alex?" Laurens smirked.

[BURR]

I finished up my studies and I practiced law

[HAMILTON]

I practiced law, Burr worked next door

[BURR]

Even though we started at the very same time

Alexander Hamilton began to climb

"Well, thank you, Burr," Alexander smirked.

How to account for his rise to the top?

Man,the man is

[BURR & ENSEMBLE]

Non-stop!

"That I am," Hamilton sighed.

[HAMILTON]

Gentlemen of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me

Are you aware that we're making hist'ry?

This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation

The liberty behind

Deliberation—

[ENSEMBLE]

Non-stop!

Killian sang along to the song excitedly.

[HAMILTON]

I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt

With my assistant counsel—

[BURR]

Co-counsel

Hamilton, sit down

Our client Levi Weeks is innocent.

"Ooh, the Levi Weeks case!" Scarlet exclaimed.

"Huh?" Lafayette said.

"The Levi Weeks case is the first murder trial of the United States of America, and it's to this day being debated on who killed Elma, the victim," Scarlet explained excitedly. "Oh, I love true crime!"

Call your first witness

That's all you had to say!

[HAMILTON]

Okay!

One more thing—

[BURR]

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

"I don't, I just usually am," Hamilton grumbled.

"Proving my point there, Alexander," Burr chuckled.

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

Soon that attitude may be your doom!

"It was," Hamilton shrugged, "I admit."

[ENSEMBLE]

Awwww!

[BURR & ENSEMBLE]

Why do you write like you're running out of time?
