PHILIP
Meet the latest graduate of King’s College!
I prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops!
The ladies say my brain’s not where the resemblance stops!
I’m only nineteen but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
I shoulder his legacy with pride
I used to hear him say
That someday
I would—ENSEMBLE
Blow us all awayPHILIP
Ladies, I’m lookin for a Mr. George Eacker
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
He disparaged my father’s legacy in front of a crowd
I can’t have that, I’m making my father proudMARTHA
I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
He was goin’ to see a playPHILIP
Well, I’ll go visit his boxDOLLY
God, you’re a foxPHILIP
And y’all look pretty good in ya’ frocks
How ‘bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?BOTH
Ok!COMPANY
Blow us all away!PHILIP
George!GEORGE
ShhPHILIP
George!GEORGE
Shh! I’m tryin’ to watch the show!PHILIP
Ya’ shoulda watched your mouth before you
Talked about my father though!GEORGE
I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true
Your father’s a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are youENSEMBLE
Ooooooooooh!PHILIP
It’s like that?GEORGE
Yeah, I don’t fool around
I’m not your little schoolboy friendsPHILIP
See you on the dueling ground
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go nowGEORGE
I know where to find you, piss off
I’m watchin’ this show nowShh
PHILIP
Pops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to—HAMILTON
Slow downPHILIP
I came to ask you for advice.
This is my very first duel
They don’t exactly cover this subject in boarding schoolHAMILTON
Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?PHILIP
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks ceaseHAMILTON
Where is this happening?PHILIP
Across the river, in JerseyHAMILTON & PHILIP
Everything is legal in New Jersey…HAMILTON
Alright. So this is what you’re gonna do:
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
This will put an end to the whole affairPHILIP
But what if he decides to shoot? Then I’m a gonerHAMILTON
No. He’ll follow suit if he’s truly a man of honor
To take someone’s life, that is something you can’t shake
Philip, your mother can’t take another heartbreakPHILIP
Father—HAMILTON
Promise me. You don’t want this
Young man’s blood on your consciencePHILIP
Okay, I promiseHAMILTON
Come back home when you’re done
Take my guns. Be smart. Make me proud, sonPHILIP
My name is Philip
I am a poet
I’m a little nervous, but I can’t show it
I’m sorry, I’m a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide
Mister Eacker!
How was the rest of your show?GEORGE
I’d rather skip the pleasantries
Let’s go
Grab your pistolPHILIP
Confer with your men
The duel will commence after we count to tenENSEMBLE
Count to ten!PHILIP
Look ‘em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky—MALE ENSEMBLE
One two three fourFULL ENSEMBLE
Five six seven—My name is Phillip...and I'm a little nervous...
