(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38157EyMlb
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lFPGbmgAC
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPc7e2gz34
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfaXo1swLd
Hamilton: No.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQandCTpzs
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nfJlzW2vg
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W20CJQEDJ
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNmWqNpPv5
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRmyJ3pCii
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQXmRNpixs
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKWd7WmkEq
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmlWGbyyxl
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQZeZENKQ4
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? 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCJbgZUvSf
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCywAPCCcXM
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...306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3redXPgdMC
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.)306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEty0enKTE
