"I'll go get Alex," Laurens sighed, getting up.

Within a minute, he came back in, Hamilton close behind him.

They took their previous seats.

[PHILLIP]

Meet the latest graduate of King's College!

"Phillip?" Hamilton said incredulously.

I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!

The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops!

The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops!

Laughter and chuckles.

I'm only nineteen but my mind is older

Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder

"God forbid," Jefferson said in horror.

I shoulder his legacy with pride

I used to hear him say

That someday

I would—

[ENSEMBLE]

Blow us all away

[PHILIP]

Ladies, I'm lookin for a Mr. George Eacker

Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker

He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd

I can't have that, I'm making my father proud

Hamilton glanced down. "You did," he whispered.

[MARTHA]

I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks

He was goin' to see a play

[PHILIP]

Well, I'll go visit his box

[DOLLY]

God, you're a fox

[PHILIP]

And y'all look pretty good in ya' frocks

How 'bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?

"Phillip," Hamilton groaned incredulously.

[BOTH]

Oh!

[COMPANY]

Blow us all away!

[PHILIP]

George!

[GEORGE]

Shh

[PHILIP]

George!

[GEORGE]

Shh! I'm tryin' to watch the show!

[PHILIP]

Ya' shoulda watched your mouth before you

Talked about my father though!

[GEORGE]

I didn't say anything that wasn't true

Your father's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you

Hamilton and Alexander scowled.

[ENSEMBLE]

Ooooooooooh!

[PHILIP]

It's like that?
