Cinq six sept huit neuf

[PHILIP]

Sept huit neuf—

[ELIZA AND PHILIP]

One two three four five six seven eight nine!

[HAMILTON]

My dearest, Angelica

“Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day”

I trust you’ll understand the reference to

Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play

They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly

I’m a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain

Madison is Banquo, Jefferson’s Macduff

And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane

[HAMILTON/ANGELICA]

And there you are, an ocean away

Do you have to live an ocean away?

Thoughts of you subside

Then I get another letter

I cannot put the notion away…

[ELIZA]

Take a break

[HAMILTON]

I am on my way

[ELIZA]

There’s a little surprise before supper

And it cannot wait

[HAMILTON]

I’ll be there in just a minute, save my plate

[ELIZA]

Alexander—

[HAMILTON]

Okay, okay—

[ELIZA]

Your son is nine years old today

He has something he’d like to say

He’s been practicing all day

Philip, take it away—

[PHILIP]

Daddy, daddy, look—

My name is Philip

I am a poet

I wrote this poem just

To show it

And I just turned nine

You can write rhymes

But you can’t write mine

[HAMILTON]

What!

[PHILIP]

I practice French

And play piano with my mother

[HAMILTON]

Uh-huh!

[PHILIP]

I have a sister, but I want a little brother

[HAMILTON]

Okay!

[PHILIP]

My daddy’s trying to start America’s bank

Un deux trois quatre cinq!

[HAMILTON]

Bravo!

[ELIZA]

Take a break

[HAMILTON]

Hey, our kid is pretty great

[ELIZA]

Run away with us for the summer

Let’s go upstate

[HAMILTON]

Eliza, I’ve got so much on my plate

[ELIZA]

We can all go stay with my father

There’s a lake I know…

[HAMILTON]

I know

[ELIZA]

In a nearby park

[HAMILTON]

I’d love to go

[ELIZA]

You and I can go when the night gets dark…

[HAMILTON]

I will try to get away

[ANGELICA]

My dearest Alexander

You must get through to Jefferson

Sit down with him and compromise

Don’t stop ‘til you agree

Your fav’rite older sister

Angelica, reminds you

There’s someone in your corner all the way across the sea

In a letter I received from you two weeks ago

I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase

It changed the meaning. Did you intend this?

One stroke and you’ve consumed my waking days

It says:

[HAMILTON/ANGELICA]

“My dearest Angelica”

[ANGELICA]

With a comma after “dearest.” You’ve written

[HAMILTON AND ANGELICA]

“My dearest, Angelica.”

[ANGELICA]

Anyway, all this to say

I’m coming home this summer

At my sister’s invitation

I’ll be there with your fam’ly

If you make your way upstate

I know you’re very busy

I know your work’s important

But I’m crossing the ocean and I just can’t wait

[HAMILTON AND ANGELICA]

You won’t be an ocean away

You will only be a moment away…

[ELIZA]

Alexander, come downstairs. Angelica’s arriving today!

[ELIZA]

Angelica!

[ANGELICA]

Eliza!

[HAMILTON]

The Schuyler sisters!

[ANGELICA]

Alexander

[HAMILTON]

Hi

[ANGELICA]

It’s good to see your face

[ELIZA]

Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family

[HAMILTON]

Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn’t have a real job anyway

[ANGELICA]

…you’re not joining us? Wait

[HAMILTON]

I’m afraid I cannot join you upstate

[ANGELICA]

Alexander, I came all this way

[ELIZA]

She came all this way—

[ANGELICA]

All this way—

[ELIZA AND ANGELICA]

Take a break

[HAMILTON]

You know I have to get my plan through Congress

[ELIZA AND ANGELICA]

Run away with us for the summer

Let’s go upstate

[HAMILTON]

I lose my job if I don’t get my plan through Congress

[ELIZA AND ANGELICA]

We can all go stay with our father

[ELIZA]

There’s a lake I know

[ANGELICA]

I know I’ll miss your face—

[ELIZA]

In a nearby park

[ANGELICA]

Screw your courage to the sticking place—

[ELIZA]

You and I can go

[ANGELICA]

Eliza’s right—

Take a break

[ELIZA]

Take a break and get away—

[ANGELICA]

Run away with us for the summer—

[ELIZA AND ANGELICA]

Let’s go upstate

[ELIZA]

Where we can stay

[ANGELICA]

We can all go stay with our father

If you take your time—

[ELIZA]

Look around, look around

At how lucky we are to be alive right now—

[ANGELICA]

You will make your mark

Close your eyes and dream—

[ELIZA]

We can go—

[ELIZA AND ANGELICA]

When the night gets dark

Take a break.

[HAMILTON]

I have to get my plan through Congress

I can’t stop until I get this plan through Congress
