[Hamilton]
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?

[Burr]
That depends. Who's asking?

[Hamilton]
Oh well sure, sir. I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir. I have been, looking for you.

[Burr]
I'm getting nervous.

[Hamilton]
Sir I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelarated course of study, when I got sorta out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir. He handles the finacials?

[Burr]
You punched the bursur?

[Hamilton]
Yes!
I wanted to do what you did: graduate in two and join the Revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid. I'm not stupid. So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?

[Burr]
It was my parents' dying wish before they passed.

[Hamilton]
You're an orphan. Of course! I'm an orphan! God I wish there was a war so we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for!

[Burr]
Can I buy you a drink?

[Hamilton]
That would be nice.

[Burr]
While we're talking let me offer you some free advice: Talk less.

[Hamilton]
What?

[Burr]
Smile more.

[Hamilton]
Ha

[Burr]
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for.

[Hamilton]
You can't be serious?

[Burr]
You wanna get ahead?

[Hamilton]
Yes...

[Burr]
Fools who run their mouths up wind up dead.

[Laurens]
Yo yo yo yo yo yo! What time is it?

[Laurens, Lafayette, and Mulligan]
Show time!

[Burr]
Like I said...

[Laurens]
Show time! Show time!
I'm John Laurens in the place to be. Two pints of Sam Adams, but I'm working on three. Those Redcoats don't want it with me cause I will pop-chicka-pop, these cops till I'm free.

[Lafayette]
Oui oui mon ami, J'mepelle Lafayette. The Lancelot of the revolutionary set. I came from afar just to say, "Bonsoir." Tell the king, "Casse toi." Who's the best? C'est moi.

[Mulligan]
Brrah Brrah
I am Hercules Mulligan up in it, loving it. Yes I heard your mother say, "Come again?" Lock up your daughters and horses. Of course it's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets.

[Laurens]
Wow! No more sex. Pour me another brew son. Let's raise a couple more-

[Laurens, Lafayette, and Mulligan]
to the Revolution!

[Laurens]
Well if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College.

[Mulligan]
Aaron Burr

[Laurens]
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge.

[Burr]
Good luck with that. You're taking a stand. You spit, I'ma sit, we'll see where we land.

[Lafayette and Mulligan]
Boo!

[Laurens]
Burr the Revolution's imminent, what'll you stall for?

[Hamilton]
If you stand for nothing Burr, what'll you fall for?

[Laurens]
Who you?

[Mulligan]
Who you?

[Lafayette]
Who are you?

[Laurens, Lafayette, and Mulligan]
Who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
