(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJkwFF7BQv
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmJblJEpVR
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2O47n5Hqc
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8nRv4jSr7
Hamilton: No.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDtvvRDc7E
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ruozcvRR
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6IqKE3aFa
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1BwxQ60IU
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFbRvZOSzr
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4fgYYj9p7
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKPk3Nsf1O
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JBgV57mGS
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0NEF5jtdL
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? 283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQYD97W2F
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. 283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp5imG1y0b
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...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO2FDFDHAI
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.)283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2TsznqMAi
