Hamilton reacts to the Hamilton-verse

20. HISTORY HAS ITS EYES ON YOU

Richard: Alright, everybody, welcome back!

Everybody: Hello!

Richard: Ok, so the next song is History Has Its Eyes On You, and this is the climax of the war!

Hamilton: Than what are you waiting for? Let's start!

Richard: Well, I have to get through some things, so you'll have to wait for it.

Washington: Oh, no.

Philip: WAIT FOR IT!

Angie: WAIT FOR IT!

Philip Jr: WAIT FOR IT!

Hamilkids: WAIT FOR IT!

Burr: I am the one thing in life I can control!

Richard: First off, sorry for the hiatus, It is summer right now so I'm trying to get in all my relaxation.

Hamilton: But working is better!

Richard: No it's not, you know that! Also, thank you for TWO THOUSAND READS!

Hamilton: The book hit 2K?

Lafayette: OUI!

Burr: Remember those days when we had 291 reads?

Philip Jr: And then we hit 1K and Frankie was way too excited?

Richard: I had the right to be excited, we had one THOUSAND reads! It's double that now!

Philip Jr: Richard?

Richard: Yes?

Philip Jr: I've been scouring our statuses and we need about 40 more reads and then we hit 2.1K.

Everybody (except Philip Jr): WHAT?!

Jefferson: Ok, please read this book! I NEED ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT IN MY LIFE!

Richard: But this is my book?

Jefferson: Yeah, I've achieved being in a book with 1K and 2K reads. I NEED THE DECIMALS!

Philip Jr: We're also #6 in #react, so.

Richard: That I know. Ok, didn't mean for this to turn into an ad asking you to read, but, uh, all reads appreciated? 

Jefferson: All. Reads. Appreciated.

Richard: Alright, let's start! Washington here's this! *throws sword and bark*

Washington: What-

Richard: You might want to carve during this song.

Washington: I was younger than you are now, when I was given my first command.

Washington: Oh. This.

Philip Jr: What even happened?

Washington: I led my men straight into a massacre,

Philip Jr: That's what happened.

Washington: I made every mistake, I felt the shame rise in me, and even now I lie awake, knowing history has its eyes on me.

(Laurens and Mulligan: Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, yeah)

Angie: What's that supposed to mean?

Richard: Like in this time period, whatever you do could go down in history. You'd wanna make the right decisions about what you do.

Washington: Exactly, but what do you mean "this time period?"

Richard: I live 300 years in the future.

Washington: Right.

Hamilton and Washington: History has its eyes on me.

(Company: Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, yeah)

Washington: Let me tell you what I wish I'd known,

Philip Jr: But he's Washington! What does he need to know?

Washington: A lot of things, son, a lot of things. 

Philip Jr: Son?

Hamilton: Reject it! Reject it! Scream in his face!

Philip Jr: I could get used to this!

Hamilton: WHAT?!

Washington: When I was young, and dreamed of glory, you have no control-

Company: Who lives, who dies, who tells your story.

Richard: *tries so hard not to sing the finale*

Washington: I know that we can win.

Hamilton: What?! WE DID WIN!

Revolutionaries: YEAH!

KGIII: I hate them.

Richard: Hey, you can't be saying that! It's the 4th of July!

Jefferson: What?! It's Independence Day!

Hamilton: Yes!

Washington: I know that greatness lies in you, but remember from here on in-

Hamilton and Washington: History has its eyes on you.

(Company: Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa)

Full Company: HISTORY HAS IT'S EYES ON YOU!

Richard: And we're done! Sorry this was a shorter one this time! But the next song is Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)!

Hamilton: Yay! Let's go! Now!

Richard: Wait! And happy 4th of July to those who celebrate!

Jefferson: Fly that American flag high and proud, boys!

Peggy: And girls!

Richard: And again, thank you for 2K reads, we're almost to 2.1K, so start reading! Alright see you next time!

Everybody: Bye!

Hamilton: Can we please just go to Yorktown?

Richard: No, you'll have to wait for it-

Philip Jr: WAIT FOR IT-

Richard: Nope, we are not doing that right now.

Hamilton: Aw... *walks away*

Richard: "go to Yorktown..." that brings me an idea!
