(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfAq5pOzE6
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43PGVwigDY
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQsf73Amxu
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idy4Weah8
Hamilton: No.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcGnel5XcY
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONxt2jYpyB
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SErmK00rN
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh00WirjgFb
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXD1W6g0O0
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1D5StCo4e
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdJt05u24i
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKfELSdALz
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVXFUqU0kV
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? 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28bR5lhV6E
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. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjElaYhqSZO
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...288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKtfqOqL7L
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.)288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGqI5XQoDi
