(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)224Please respect copyright.PENANAsBpwUymMFL
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?224Please respect copyright.PENANA1DMLwvKwY5
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 224Please respect copyright.PENANAGw6c3X1XnI
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-224Please respect copyright.PENANAIfoq1stUAn
Hamilton: No.224Please respect copyright.PENANAR33loXBjRg
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 224Please respect copyright.PENANAig6FQ5Q1uJ
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...224Please respect copyright.PENANA2SI4AnXpln
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-224Please respect copyright.PENANAtOKtDyMajH
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...224Please respect copyright.PENANAhZzPsN1OoP
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 224Please respect copyright.PENANAODzd897ecO
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?224Please respect copyright.PENANAD61bZzpBCM
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 224Please respect copyright.PENANAz7nRwS7HfS
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)224Please respect copyright.PENANAYjAVbC8AgI
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? 224Please respect copyright.PENANAMJFoL0W1QN
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. 224Please respect copyright.PENANAe0oHsspBc2
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...224Please respect copyright.PENANAP21xmnx7nb
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.)224Please respect copyright.PENANAl4qIiGtofL

I just realized that this muscial might not be the best for my non-American readers...
