(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB4nR2cIOg
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAAu8JXFLo
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA6DKWBr38
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho2ut5vXC8
Hamilton: No.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3t0FgcnlS
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQbxTIh8QY
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoidc3KyYP
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7LHEFdE5d
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFvRTATNYG
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYo6J2QCq6
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4gKxOaWNb
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mq3OV13bE
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXuah91Fpq
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? 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bPv5ZxCS7
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. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRn1kUXnQY
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...199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjcdePZqdJ
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.)199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1jmLY014r
