PHILLIP: Look! Grandpa's in the paper! "War hero Philip Schuyler loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr" Grandpa just lost his seat in the senate
ELIZA: Sometimes that's how it goes
PHILLIP: Daddy's gonna find out any minute
ELIZA: I'm sure he already knows
PHILLIP: Further down
PHILLIP & ELIZA: Further down
PHILLIP: Let's meet the newest senator from New York
ELIZA: New York
PHILLIP & ELIZA: Our senator
HAMILTON: Burr? Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?
BURR: Since being one put me on the up and up again
HAMILTON: No one knows who you are or what you do
BURR: They don't need to know me They don't like you
HAMILTON: Excuse me?
BURR: Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great You'll always be adored by the things you create But upstate—
HAMILTON: Wait
BURR: —people think you're crooked Schuyler's seat was up for grabs so I took it
HAMILTON: I've always considered you a friend
BURR: I don't see why that has to end
HAMILTON: You changed parties to run against my father-in-law
BURR: I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw I swear your pride will be the death of us all Beware, it goeth before the fall
