Richard: Alright, next song, Wait For It, this is the first of...a few Burr monologues.

Burr: Why only a few?

Hamilton: It's my musical, you're the villain in my story, easy to understand!

Burr: OUCH! RICHARD?!

Richard: Sorry, but it's the hard truth! Also, I will be inviting a new character for this song! Welcome to-

Hamilkids and Richard: MAGICAL AUTHOR POWERS!

Richard: Today, we will be bringing...THEODOSIA BARTOW PREVOST!

Theodosia I: YAY! Hello everyone!

Burr: Theo!

Richard: Alright let's start!

Burr: Theodosia writes me a letter every day. I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away.

Hamilton: BURR! YOU HAD AN AFFAIR TOO?! WHY'D YOU SCRUTINIZE ME?!

Burr: Because affairs are supposed to be secret, and not put out for the world to see!

Theodosia: He's correct.

Burr: He's on the British side in Georgia, he's trying to keep the colonies in line. Well, he can keep all of Georgia, Theodosia, She's mine.

Theodosia: Why, thank you!

Burr: You are welcome!!

Burr: Love doesn't discriminate.

Richard: Well...

Laurens: What?

Richard: During the Civil Rights Movement, and the 1970's, there were laws stating that Black people and White people couldn't get married.

Hamilton: WHAT? THAT'S NOT FAIR!

Richard: Precisely.

Burr: Between the sinners and the saints, it takes,  and it takes, and it takes, and we keep loving anyway.

Laurens: *looks at Hamilton*

Hamilton: *looks at Laurens* 

Laurens: Alexander, I-

Hamilton: *looks away*

Burr: We laugh and we cry and we break, and we make our mistakes, and if there's a reason I'm by her side when so many have tried,

Theodosia: It's because you stole my heart!

Burr: And you stole mine!

Philip Jr: This lovey-dovey stuff is making me sick.

Angie: I've never seen Burr so happy.

Theodosia: You should've seen him when he was a presidential candidate!

Burr: Very happy that day.

Burr: I'm willing to wait for it. I'm willing to wait for it.

My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher. 

(Company: Preacher, preacher, preacher) 

Burr: But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya,

(Company: Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya)

Burr: My mother was a genius. (Women: Genius)

Burr: My father commanded respect. (Men: Respect, respect) 

Hamilton: That definitely didn't pass on to you! You killed me!

Burr: YOU TESTED MY NERVES FOR THIRTY FREAKING YEARS!
