Hamilton I have never seen the General so despondent. I have taken over writing all his correspondence. Congress writes, “George, attack the British forces.” I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horses. Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance, they only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence.
Washington The cavalry’s not coming. Hamilton Sir!
Washington Alex, listen. There’s only one way for us to win this. Provoke outrage, outright.
Hamilton That’s right.
Washington Don’t engage, strike by night. Remain relentless ‘til their troops take flight.
Hamilton Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight.
Washington Outrun.
Hamilton Outrun.
Washington Outlast.
Hamilton Outlast.
Washington Hit ‘em quick, get out fast.
Hamilton Chick-a-plao!
Washington Stay alive ‘til this horror show is past. We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast.
Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette Raise a glass!
Mulligan I go back to New York and my apprenticeship.
Lafayette I ask for French aid, I pray that France has sent a ship.
Laurens I stay at work with Hamilton, we write essays against slavery, and every day’s a test of our camaraderie and bravery.
Hamiltom We cut supply lines, we steal contraband, we pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand. And ev’ry day, “Sir, entrust me with a command,” and ev’ry day,
Washington No.
Hamilton He dismisses me out of hand. Instead of me,
Eliza & Angelica Stay alive...
Hamilton He promotes Charles Lee.
Lee Charles Lee.
Hamilton Makes him second-in-command:
Lee I’m a General. Whee!!!!
Hamilton Yeah... He’s not the choice I would have gone with.
Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth. Washington Ev’ryone attack!
Lee Retreat!
Washington Attack!
Lee Retreat!
Washington What are you doing, Lee? Get back on your feet!
Lee But there’s so many of them!
Washington I’m sorry, is this not your speed?! Hamilton!
Hamilton Ready, sir!
Washington Have Lafayette take the lead!
Hamilton Yes, sir!
Laurens A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat.
Lafayette As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat.
Hamilton Charles Lee was left behind without a pot to piss in. He started sayin’ this to anybody who would listen:
Lee Washington cannot be left alone to his devices indecisive, from crisis to crisis. The best thing he can do for the revolution is turn n’ go back to plantin’ tobacco in Mount Vernon.
Company Oo!!
Washington Don’t do a thing. History will prove him wrong.
Hamilton But, sir!
Washington We have a war to fight, let’s move along. Laurens Strong words from Lee, someone oughta hold him to it.
Hamilton I can’t disobey direct orders.
Laurens Then I’ll do it. Alexander, you’re the closest friend I’ve got.
Hamilton Laurens, do not throw away your shot.
