Satisfied

Spoilers to a book I am writing. Again, original song from the Hamilton Musical.

-_-_-_-_-_-

[TOAST:]
Alright, alright. That's what I'm talkin' about!
Now everyone give it up for the best man, Jimmy Casket!

[Jimmy (all men) {all women}:]
A toast to the groom!
(To the groom!)
(To the groom!)
{(To the groom!)}
To the bride!
{To the bride!}
(To the bride!)
{To the bride!}
From your brother
(Jimmy!)
(Jimmy!)
{(Jimmy!)}
Who is always by your side
(By your side)
{By your side}
To your union
{(To the union!)}
{(To the revolution!)}
And the hope that you provide
(You provide!)
{(You provide!)}
May you always…
{(Always)}
Be satisfied
{(Rewind)

[Recorded Samples:]
Rewind, rewind
Helpless, sky's, sky's
Drownin' in 'em
Drownin', rewind

I remember that night, I just might (rewind)
I remember that night, I just might (rewind)
I remember that night, I remember that

[JIMMY:]
I remember that night, I just might
Regret that night for the rest of my days
I remember those fan girls
Tripping over themselves to win our praise
I remember that dreamlike candlelight
Like a dream that you can't quite place
But Madison, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face
I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said "Hi," I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame, ev'ry part aflame
[Full Company:]
This is not a game…

[MADISON:]
You strike me as a man who has never been satisfied
[JIMMY:]
I'm sure I don't know what you mean
You forget yourself
[MADISON:]
You're like me
I'm never satisfied
[JIMMY:]
Is that right?
[MADISON:]
I've never been satisfied
[JIMMY:]
My name is Jimmy Casket
[MADISON:]
Madison Friend.
[JIMMY:]
Where's your fam'ly from?
[MADISON:]
Unimportant
There's a million things I haven't done but
Just you wait, just you wait…

[JIMMY:]
So so so... so this is what it feels like to match wits
With someone at your level! What the hell is the catch?
It's the feeling of freedom, of seein' the light
It's Timothy Casket with a key and a locket! You see it, right?
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
Ev'rything we said in total agreement, it's
A dream and it's a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance
She's a bit of a flirt, but I'mma give it a chance
I asked about her fam'ly, did you see her answer?
Her hands started fidgeting, she looked askance?
She's penniless, she's flying by the seat of her pants
Beautiful, boy, does she know it!
Red hair, and she can't even grow it!
I wanna take her far away from this place
Then I turn and see my brothers's face and he is…

[GHOST:]
Helpless…
[JIMMY:]
And I know he is…
[GHOST:]
Helpless…
[JIMMY:]
And his eyes are just…
[GHOST:]
Helpless…
[JIMMY:]
And I realize
[JIMMY and Company:]
Three fundamental truths at the exact same time…

[MADISON:]
Where are you taking me?
[JIMMY:]
I'm about to change your life
[MADISON:]
Then by all means, lead the way

[Company (except Jimmy):]
Number one!
[JIMMY:]
I'm a boy in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no daughters so I'm the one
Who has to social climb for one
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
North Carolina is insidious
And Madison is penniless
Ha! That doesn't mean I want her any less

[GHOST:]
Johnny Ghost. It's a pleasure to meet you
[MADISON:]
Ghost?
[JIMMY:]
My brother

[Company:]
Number two!
[JIMMY:]
She's after me 'cause I'm a Casket brother
That elevates her status, I'd
Have to be naïve to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce her to Ghost
Now that's her husband
Nice going, Jimmy, she was right
You will never be satisfied

[MADISON:]
Thank you for all your service
[GHOST:]
If it takes fighting ghost's for us to meet, it will have been worth it
[JIMMY:]
I'll leave you to it

[Company:]
Number three!
[JIMMY:]
I know my brother like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell him that I love her he'd be silently resigned
She'd be mine
He would say, "I'm fine."
[JIMMY and Company:]
He'd be lying

[JIMMY:]
But when I fantasize at night
It's Madison's eyes
As I romanticize what might
Have been if I hadn't sized
Her up so quickly
At least my dear Ghost's Her husband;
At least I keep her eyes in my life…

[JIMMY (all men) {all women}:]
To the groom!
(To the groom!)
(To the groom!)
{(To the groom!)}
To the bride!
{To the bride!}
(To the bride!)
{To the bride!}
From your brother
(Jimmy!)
(Jimmy!)
{(Jimmy!)}
Who is always by your side
(By your side)
{By your side}
To your union
{(To the union!)}
{(To the revolution!)}
And the hope that you provide
(You provide!)
{(You provide!)}
May you always…
{(Always)}
Be satisfied
(Be satisfied)
{Be satisfied}
(Be satisfied)
And I know
{(Be satisfied)}
(Be satisfied)
(Be satisfied)
(Be satisfied)
He'll be happy as
(Be satisfied)
(Be satisfied)
Her groom
{(Be satisfied)}
And I know
(Be satisfied)
(Be satisfied)
(Be satisfied)
{Be satisfied}
She will never be satisfied
I will never be satisfied
