(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXLVngayy5
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZFqIxd58x
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCpysGAtGc
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8sCId6nqp
Hamilton: No.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo8wODIBGE
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN1hJQOel7
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmC3WgoeLq
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohLxAOVvTY
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4A0N8TItx
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFSlMWzqxh
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHpTW35PLj
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX0rPMMZm0
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcukd6q0OnR
Eliza: Look around. Look at where you are. Look at where you started. You used to be an immigrant from a place no one knew about, trying to gain an education in a place you weren't respected. Now, you write for General Washington, a man who is going to bring us independence. How can anyone not respect you now? 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGW2kzj5cZ
Not to mention, the fact that you're alive is a miracle. You've lived twice as long as expected. Just please, stay alive, that would be enough.
And if this child has a fraction of your smile or a fragment of your mind, (laughs) look out world! That would be enough. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgRHQx8Rpg
I don't pretend to know the challenges your facing, the worlds you create and erase in your mind. But I am not afraid. I know who I married. I don't need you to be famous or the most successful man in America, just as long as you come home at the end of the day, everyday...that would be enough.
We don't need a legacy. We don't need money. And if I can grant you peace of mind...if you can let me inside your heart...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY7UVjYqbs
There will be a narrative written about you one day. Let me be a part of it. Let this moment be the first chapter, the one where you decide to stay...
Oh, and I could be enough! And we could be enough. That would be enough...
(Lost in the moment, Eliza looks at Hamilton again. He is crying. Another beat, and they embrace.)328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7gCJPUdmE
