[Company:]
1776 New York City
[Hamilton:]
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
[Burr:]
That depends, who's asking?
[Hamilton:]
Oh well sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton
I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
[Burr:]
I'm getting nervous
[Hamilton:]
Sir, I heard your name at Princeton
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort out of sorts with a buddy of yours
I may have punched him
It's a blur, sir
He handles the financials —
[Burr:]
You punched the bursar?
[Hamilton:]
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?
[Burr:]
It was my parents' dying wish before they passed
[Hamilton:]
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
[Burr:]
Can I buy you a drink?
[Hamilton:]
That would be nice
[Burr:]
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
[Hamilton:]
What?
[Burr:]
Smile more
[Hamilton:]
Ha
[Burr:]
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
[Hamilton:]
You can't be serious
[Burr:]
You want to get ahead?
[Hamilton:]
Yes
[Burr:]
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
[Laurens:]
Yo yo yo yo yo! What time is it?
Laurens, [Mulligan:]
Showtime!
[Burr:]
…like I said…
[Laurens:]
Showtime! Showtime! Yo!
I'm john laurens in the place to be!
Uh, two pints o' sam adams, but I'm working on three, uh!
Those redcoats don't want it with me
Cause I will pop chick-a-pop these cops 'til I'm free!
[Lafayette:]
Ah oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle lafayette!
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!
[Mulligan:]
Brrrah, brraaah! I am hercules mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it
Yes I heard your mother say «Come again?»
Lock up your daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets
[Lafayette:]
Wow
[Laurens:]
No more sex
Pour me another brew, son!
Let's raise a couple more
[Laurens, Lafayette, Mulligan:]
To the revolution!
[Laurens:]
Well if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College
[Mulligan:]
Aaron Burr
[Laurens:]
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge
[Burr:]
Good luck with that
You're takin' a stand
You spit, I'mma sit
We'll see where we land
[Laurens:]
Burr, the revolution's imminent
What do you stall for?
[Hamilton:]
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?
[Laurens:]
Who are you?
[Mulligan:]
Who are you?
[Lafayette:]
Who are you?
[Laurens, Mulligan, Lafayette:]
Who, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
