INT. CONTINENTAL CONGRESS - AFTERNOON

Admirable Secretary of the Treasury MR. ALEXANDER HAMILTON is arguing with giving soldier MR. JOHN LAURENS. ALEXANDER tries to hug JOHN but he shakes him off.

ALEXANDER
Please, John, don't leave me.
JOHN
I'm sorry Alexander, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces his fears head-on, instead of running away.
ALEXANDER
I am such a person!

JOHN frowns.

JOHNI'm sorry, Alexander. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore.

JOHN leaves.

ALEXANDER sits down, looking defeated.

Moments later, sweet tailor's apprentice/spy MR HERCULES MULLIGAN barges in looking flustered.

ALEXANDER
Goodness, Hercules! Is everything okay?
HERCULES
I'm afraid not.
ALEXANDER
What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...
HERCULES
It's ... a sea monster ... I saw an evil sea monster murder a bunch of elderly gents!
ALEXANDER
Defenseless elderly gents?
HERCULES
Yes, defenseless elderly gents!
ALEXANDER
Bloomin' heck, Hercules! We've got to do something.
HERCULES
I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.
ALEXANDER
You can start by telling me where this happened.
HERCULES
I was...

HERCULES fans himself and begins to wheeze.

ALEXANDERFocus Hercules, focus! Where did it happen?
HERCULES
Montichello! That's right - Montichello!

ALEXANDER springs up and begins to run.

EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS

ALEXANDER rushes along the street, followed by HERCULES. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.

EXT. MONTICHELLO - SHORTLY AFTER

AARON BURR, an arrogant sea monster terrorises two elderly gents.

ALEXANDER, closely followed by HERCULES, rushes towards AARON, but suddenly stops in his tracks.

HERCULES
What is is? What's the matter?
ALEXANDER
That's not just any old sea monster, that's Aaron Burr!
HERCULES
Who's Aaron Burr?
ALEXANDER
Who's Aaron Burr? Who's Aaron Burr? Only the most arrogant sea monster in the universe!
HERCULES
Blinkin' knickers, Alexander! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most arrogant sea monster in the universe!
ALEXANDER
You can say that again.
HERCULES
Blinkin' knickers, Alexander! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most arrogant sea monster in the universe!
ALEXANDER
I'm going to need rainbows, lots of rainbows.

Aaron turns and sees Alexander and Hercules. He grins an evil grin.

AARON
Alexander Hamilton, we meet again.
HERCULES
You've met?
ALEXANDER
Yes. It was a long, long time ago...


EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME

A young ALEXANDER is sitting in a park listening to some classical music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over him.

He looks up and sees AARON. He takes off his headphones.

AARON
Would you like some peppermints?

ALEXANDER's eyes light up, but then he studies AARON more closely, and looks uneasy.

ALEXANDER
I don't know, you look kind of arrogant.AARON
Me? No. I'm not arrogant. I'm the least arrogant sea monster in the world.
ALEXANDER
Wait, you're a sea monster?
