Richard: Hello, everyone!

Hamilton: Hey! Can we start the song so we can get to the end of the war?

Richard: Soon, but haven't you noticed our change of scenery? 

Philip Jr: Yeah, where are we anyway?

Lafayette: Wait, are we in Yorktown?

Richard: Yes! I brought you here for the revolutionaries to reminisce about them winning!

Eliza: How about we start? Some people are anxious!

Revolutionaries: Hi, I'm anxious.

Richard: Ok, let's start!

Company: The Battle of Yorktown! 1789!

Hamilton: The best battle ever!

KGIII: You mean the worst!

Lafayette: Monsieur Hamilton!

Hamilton: Monsieur Lafayette!

Philip Jr: Dad can speak French?

Hamilton: Yes, my mother spoke French and taught it to me...

Angie: We're sorry about grandmother! We're sad we didn't meet her!

Eliza: See? You don't have to bottle up your feelings! Your children understand!

Lafayette: In command where you belong!

Hamilton: How you say? No sweat!

Lafayette: That sounds sorta like mocking!

Hamilton: But I didn't!

Hamilton: We're finally on the field, we've had quite a run!

Lafayette: Immigrants! 

Lafayette and Hamilton: We get the job done!

Hamilton: Yeah! Immigrant pride!

Lafayette: From French and Nevis come the best!

Mulligan: Hey, I'm Irish!

Hamilton: So what happens if we win? 

Lafayette: I go back to France, I bring freedom to my people if I'm given the chance!

Hamilton: We'll be with you when you do!

Philip Jr: So that was a lie!

Hamilton: We had just gotten back from a revolution! We shouldn't have gone into war immediately!

Jefferson: I had wanted to help France! But some people-

Washington and Hamilton: Us!

Jefferson: Didn't want to help them!

Lafayette: Go, lead your men!

Hamilton: I'll see you on the other side!

Lafayette: 'til we meet again, let's go!

Mulligan: And they never met again!

Hamilton: I never saw you, either! 

Lafayette: And I got put in prison with my family and died in Albania!

Philip Jr: Well! That's fun! 

Hamilton and Company: I am not throwing away my shot!

Washington: Oh, we're back to this. 

Hamilton and Company: I am not throwing away my shot! Ayo, I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry and I'm not throwing away my shot!
