(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLY1N4Esp4
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqEXyfOL1Z
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz4DgfJ6rB
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8nxdfWN7R
Hamilton: No.260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7mqQd65JE
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP5pJrwfWm
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQn1OOPsIp
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNLLWS38jl
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDzz6USSTA
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q0Vwr4Jvf
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLvmJl4MI3
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6SCOVopIW
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyHrmzgnub
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? 260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XQY4fsKz0
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. 260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDkNCkjCwQ
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...260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWKPTDPxu7
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.)260Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTJYtKnyGw
