[COMPANY]
1776
New York City

[HAMILTON]
Pardon me
Are you Aaron Burr, sir?

[BURR]
That depends, who’s asking?

[HAMILTON]
Oh, sure, sir
I’m Alexander Hamilton, I’m at your service, sir
I have been looking for you

[BURR]
I’m getting nervous

[HAMILTON]
Sir, I heard your name at Princeton
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours
I may have punched him
It’s a blur, sir
He handles the financials?

[BURR]
You punched the bursar

[HAMILTON]
Yes
I wanted to do what you did
Graduate in two, then join the revolution
He looked at me like I was stupid, I’m not stupid
So how’d you do it? How’d you graduate so fast?

[BURR]
It was my parents’ dying wish before they passed

[HAMILTON]
You’re an orphan
Of course! I’m an orphan
God, I wish there was a war
Then we could prove that we’re worth more than anyone bargained for

[BURR]
Can I buy you a drink?

[HAMILTON]
That would be nice

[BURR]
While we’re talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less

[HAMILTON]
What?

[BURR]
Smile more

[HAMILTON]
Ha

[BURR]
Don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for

[HAMILTON]
You can’t be serious

[BURR]
You wanna get ahead?

[HAMILTON]
Yes

[BURR]
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

[LAURENS]
A-ya-yow, ya-yow-yow
What time is it?

[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]
Show time

[BURR]
Like I said

[LAURENS]
Show time, show time, yo!
I’m John Laurens in the place to be
A-two pints of Sam Adams, but I’m workin’ on three, uh
Those redcoats don’t want it with me
‘Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops ‘til I’m free

[LAFAYETTE]
Ay, oui oui, mon ami, je m’appelle Lafayette
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set
I came from afar just to say „Bonsoir”
Tell the King „Casse-toi”, who’s the best?
C’est moi

[MULLIGAN]
Brah, brah
I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin’ it
Yes, I heard ya mother said, „Come again?”

[LAURENS & LAFAYETTE]
Ayy

[MULLIGAN]
Lock up ya daughters and horses
Of course it’s hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets

[LAFAYETTE]
Wow

[LAURENS]
No more sex, pour me another brew, son
Let’s raise a couple more

[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]
To the revolution!

[LAURENS]
Well, if it ain’t the prodigy of Princeton college

[MULLIGAN]
Aaron Burr

[LAURENS]
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge

[BURR]
Good luck with that: You’re takin’ a stand
You spit, I’ma sit, we’ll see where we land

[LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]
Boo

[LAURENS]
Burr, the revolution’s imminent
What do you stall for?

[HAMILTON]
If you stand for nothin’, Burr, what’ll you fall for?

[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]
Ooh

[LAURENS]
Who are you?

[MULLIGAN]
Who are you?

[LAFAYETTE]
Who are you?

[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]
Ooh, who is this kid? What’s he gonna do?
