Schuyler Defeated [German translation]

[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
