[PHILIP]
Look! Grandpa's in the paper!
"War hero Philip Schuyler in danger of losing senate to young upstart Aaron Burr?"
Grandpa might lose his seat in the senate

[ELIZA]
I thought he was unopposed?

[PHILIP]
Not according to the paper he isn't!

[ELIZA]
Go make sure the door is closed

[PHILIP/ELIZA]
Further down, further down
See Schuyler has a challenger from New York, New York
For senator
Burr!

[ELIZA]
I gotta go I gotta find Alexander

[PHILIP]
Let him know we're on his side

[ELIZA]
No! He'll consider this a personal slander
I've gotta stop a homicide!

[PHILIP]
Oh!

[PHILIP/ELIZA]
Look around, we should look around
Let's go and find your father down in New York, New York

[HAMILTON]
Burr! Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?

[BURR]
Since being one put me on the up and up again, hah

[HAMILTON]
No one know who you are or what you do

[BURR]
They don't need to know me, they don't like you

[HAMILTON]
Excuse me?

[BURR]
All of Wall Street thinks you're great
You'll always be adored by the things you create
But upstate you're the rascal who trades away the capital

[HAMILTON]
Wait-

[BURR]
The asshole who taxes the a-a-alcohol!

[HAMILTON]
I always considered you a friend

[BURR]
I don't see why that has to end
A senate seat was up for grabs and I took it
It's not my fault people think you're crooked

[HAMILTON]
You're gonna make a fool of me through my father in law?

[BURR]
There's the kid who almost shot Charles Lee in the jaw
My god, your pride will be the death of us all
Beware, it goeth before the fall!
