Original piece from Hamilton

Elder Thomas: There's nothin' like summer in the city.
Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty.
There's trouble in the air, you can smell it.
Kevin Price, all by himself- Well I'll let him tell it.

Elder Price: I hadn't slept for a week, I was weak, I was awake.
You've never seen a kid like me more in need of a break.
Longing for Orlando, missing my home.
That's when I saw Conner Mckinley all sad and alone, he said-

Elder Mckinley: I know we are men of God,
I'm so sorry to bother you at home,
But I don't know where to go, and
I came here all alone.

Elder Price: He said-

Elder Mckinley: The church has been doin' me wrong,
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me.
Suddenly i'm up and gone,
I don't have the means to go on.

Elder Price: So I offered him a loan, I offered to walk him home, he said-

Elder Mckinley: You're too kind, Kev.

Elder Price: I gave him twenty bucks that I had kept away, he slept a room away, he said-

Elder Mckinley: This one's mine, Kev.

Elder Price: Then I said, "Well I should head back now."
He turned red, he led me to his bed, cocked his head, and said-

Elder Mckinley: Stay?

Elder Price: Hey...

Elder Mckinley: Hey...

Elder Price: That's when I began to pray:
Lord, show me how to say no to this.
I don't know how to say no to this.
But, by gosh, he looks so helpless.
And his eyes are saying "Oh yes."

Elder Mckinley: Woah!

Elder Price: No... Show me how to say no to this. I don't know how to say no to this. In my mind i'm trying to go (Go, go, go.) Then his mouth is on mine and I don't say...

Church Members/Random Elders: No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No! Say no to this!

Elder Price: I wish I could say that was the last time.
I said that last time, it became a pastime.
A month into this endeavor, I received a letter,
from a 'Mr. Mission President' Even better, it said-

Mission President: Dear sir, I hope this letter finds you in good mood.
And in a generous enough position to not find this too soon.
You might have to resign,
for not dating a miss.
You see that was a man, who you decided to-

Elder Price: Pleased humming, muffled by Conner kissing him. Sounds like "Mmmmm" scaling upwards.

Mission President: Uh-oh! You made the wrong religion a fool.
So time to pack your bags for messing around with the wrong tool.
And hey, you can keep sittin' atop that blasphemous perch,
If the price is right; If not, then i'm telling the church.

Elder Price: I hid the letter and raced to his place,
Screamed "How could you?!" in his face.
He said:

Elder Mckinley: No, Kev!

Elder Price: Half dressed, apologetic.
A mess, he looked pathetic, he cried:

Elder Mckinley: Please don't go, Kev!

Elder Price: So was your whole story a setup?

Elder Mckinley: I don't know about any letter!

Elder Price: Stop crying, gosh-dangit, get up!

Elder Mckinley: I didn't know any better!

Elder Price: I am ruined...

Elder Mckinley: Please don't leave me for them, helpless.
Just give them what they want, and you can have me!

Elder Price: I don't want you. I don't want you. I don't...
Lord, show me how to say no to this.
I don't know how to say no to this.
But the situation is helpless,
And his eyes are saying "Oh yes."
No, show me how to say no to this. How can I say no to this? There is nowhere I can go.
When his body's on mine, I do not say...

Elder Mckinley: Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Elder Price: Say no to this...
I don't say no to this.
There is nowhere I can go.

Mission President: So?

Elder Price: Slipping him money
Nobody needs to know.
