(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcNppvJU8p
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuMwdBDgfJ
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjnVzxUmEn
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1wvhWz9Ph
Hamilton: No.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoocxqXrQL
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxhmqCOPpW
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Lu0kSw1V
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sVsbxVrKA
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXmxdRCuWO
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YkyFC650n
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwloVSGVwJF
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJUWwabdP3
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9HWp7eMOo
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? 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhSPaqUY5i
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. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWhxM2p5t2
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...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn8OEQFX77
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.)327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWtbIzAdaL
