"Oh hey, that was the year I met you guys!" "Yep."

New York City
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
That depends, who's asking?

"You should have just said no." "Yeah." 

Oh, sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
I'm getting nervous

"Of course I was, You were a random stranger!"

Sir, 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 punched him, it's a blur, sir

"Alex." "I know, I know. But I don't regret it." "ALEX!"

He handles the financials?You punched the bursar?

"Is that even a question?"

Yes, I wanted to do what you did
Graduate in two, then join the revolution
He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid

"Ha." "Jefferson. Just don't."

So how'd you do it, how'd you graduate so fast?It was my parent's dying wish before they passedYou're an orphan, of course
I'm an orphan
God, I wish there was a war

"Why?" "Alex, I fear for you."

Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained forCan I buy you a drink?
That would be nice

"ALEX NO" "ALEX YES!"

While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less

"You should listen to him, he's smart."

What?Smile moreHaDon't let them know what you're against or what you're for

"How?"

You can't be seriousYou wanna get ahead?YesFools who run their mouths off wind up deadAye, yo yo, yo yo, yo

"Hey, that's me!"

What time is it?Show timeLike I saidShow time, show time
Yo, I'm John Lauren's in the place to be (woo)
A-two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh

"Is that all you men think about? Alcohol?"

Those redcoats don't want it with me
'Cause I will pop-chick-a pop

"What?" "Don't ask me, I didn't write this. Though it is kind of nice."

 these cops 'til I'm free

Aye, oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette"Ah, mon prononciation est mauvaise." 
*Translation: Ah, my pronounciation is bad.
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

"That's not true!" "Shut up Seabury."

Brrah, brrah, I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said come again
Aye, lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets (wow)

"My thoughts exactly."

No more sex, pour me another brew, son
Let's raise a couple more to the revolution
Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton collegeAaron Burr

"Here comes the party pooper."

Give us a verse, drop some knowledgeGood luck with that, you're takin' a stand
You spit, I'ma sit
We'll see where we land (boo)
Burr, the revolution's imminent, to what do you stall for?If you stand for nothing Burr, what'll you fall for?

"Yeah!"

Ooh, who are you?

"Lot's of things," Eliza whispered.
