[WASHINGTON]

Let me tell you what I wish I'd known

When I was young and dreamed of glory

You have no control:

[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]

Who lives

Who dies

Who tells your story?

People smiled sadly.

[BURR]

President Jefferson:

[JEFFERSON]

I'll give him this: his financial system is a

Work of genius.

Hamilton laughed.

I couldn't undo it if I tried

And I tried

Chuckles and eyerolls followed.

[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]

Who lives

Who dies

Who tells your story?

[BURR]

President Madison:

[MADISON]

He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity

I hate to admit it, but

he doesn't get enough credit

For all the credit he gave us

Hamilton turned to him in shock.

"Thank you."

[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]

Who lives

Who dies

Who tells your story?

[ANGELICA]

Every other founding father's story gets told

Every other founding father gets to grow old

Grimaces.

[BURR]

But when you're gone, who remembers your name?

Who keeps your flame?

[BURR AND MEN]

Who tells your story?

Who tells your story?

[ANGELICA AND WOMEN]

Who tells your story?

Your story?

[WOMEN]

Eliza

Gasps and teary smiles.

[ELIZA]

I put myself back in the narrative

[WOMEN]

Eliza

[ELIZA]

I stop wasting time on tears

I live another fifty years

"Holy damn," Laurens murmured.

It's not enough

"It's more than enough," Hamilton smiled tearily.
