Seventeen seventy-six
New York City
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr sir?
The depends, who's asking?
Oh well sure sir. I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service sir, I have been looking for you.
I'm getting nervous...
Sir! I heard your name in 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, he handles the financials?
You punched the Bursar?
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, so how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?
It was my parents dying wish before they passed.
You're an orphan! Of course! I'm an orphan! God I wish there was a war, then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for!
Can I buy you a drink?
That would be nice.
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice!
Talk less.
What?
Smile more.
Ha
Don't let them know what you're against, or what you're for.
You can't be serious!
Wanna get ahead?
Yes.
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.
A ya yo ya yo yo! What time is it?
Show time!
Like I said...
Show time! Show time! Yo! I'm John Laurens I'm the place to be, a two pints o' Sam Adams but I'm workin' on three! Ha!
Those redcoats don't want it with me cuz I'll pop-chicka-prap these cops til I'm free!
