{Company}

1776. New York City

{Hamilton}

Pardon me. Are you Erin Burr, ma'am?

{Burr}

That depends. Who's asking?

{Hamilton}

Oh, well, sure, ma'am

I'm Alexandra Hamilton, I'm at your service, ma'am

I have been looking for you

{Burr}

I'm getting nervous

{Hamilton}

Ma'am...

I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have slapped her. It's a blur, ma'am. She handles the financials?

{Burr}

You slapped the bursar

{Hamilton}

Yes!

I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. She 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!

Then 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 want to get ahead

{Hamilton}

Yes

{Burr}

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

{Laurens}

Hey yo! yo! yo! yo! yo! What time is it?!

{Laurens/Lafayette/Mulligan}

Show time!

{Burr}

Like I said....

{Laurens}

Show time! Show time! Yo!

I'm Jhen Laurens in the place to be!

Two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh!

Those redcoats don't want it with me!

Cuz I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free!

{Lafayette}

Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle 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}

Brrrah brraaah! I am Hyades Mulligan

Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya father said "Come again?"

{Lafayette/Laurens}

Ayyyyy

[MULLIGAN]

Lock up ya children and horses, of course

It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets...

[LAFAYETTE]

Wow

{Laurens}

No more sex, pour me another brew, girl!

Let's raise a couple more...

{Laurens/Lafayette/Mulligan}

To the revolution!

[LAURENS]

Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college!

[MULLIGAN]

Erin Burr!

[LAURENS]

Give us a verse, drop some knowledge!

[BURR]

Good luck with that: you're takin' a stand

You spit. I'm 'a sit. We'll see where we land

[LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN]

Boooo!

[LAURENS]

Burr, the revolution's imminent. What do you stall for?

[HAMILTON]

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

[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS]

Ooh

Who you?

Who you?

Who are you?

[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS]

Ooh, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?

So I guess, this kid's name is???
