Richard: Alright, next song, "Right Hand Man". 

Hamilton: Wait! Right Hand Man? I was Washington's right hand man...Finally!

Revolutionaries: THE REVOLUTION!

Richard: Yes, yes, this is the first revolution song.

Company: British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water. Thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbor.

Hamilton: I remember this. Good times. 

Philip Jr: What? It's a war! How can it be good times?

Eacker: Guess what? It's sarcasm. If you don't know it, that won't fit into your education. 

Philip Jr: Hey! Don't talk about education when you can't count to ten!

Hamilton: THAT'S MY SON!

Company: Thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbor! When they surround our troops!

(They surround our troops)

Lafayette: We fought zem off, didn't we?

Revolutionaries: *mixes of "yeah" and "i guess so"

Hamilton: As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war.

The Schuyler Sisters: What the heck, Alex?

Richard: Actually, Hamilton is right. In the musical, they are married in 1777, while this battle historically took place in 1776. 

Hamilkids: NEW YORK CITY!

Richard: Yeah, that too- wait. Were you making a reference?

Philip Jr: Maybe.

Hamilton: I will fight for this land, but there's only one man who can give us a command so we can-

Revolutionaries: Rise up!

Hamilton: Understand, it's the only way to-

Revolutionaries: Rise up! RISE UP!

Hamilton: Here he comes. 

Philip: I wonder who they're talking about. No sarcasm.

Angie: General (and President) George Washington, I presume? 

Washington: Wait, I'm in this? 

Richard: Yeah, you're important to Hamilton's life!

Company: Here comes the general!

Burr: Ladies and gentlemen!

Company: Here comes the general!

Burr: The moment you've been waiting for!
