(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)144Please respect copyright.PENANAeupEU6FIRA
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?144Please respect copyright.PENANA3UomptEisU
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 144Please respect copyright.PENANA18k4caNw2T
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-144Please respect copyright.PENANAWy6icHIrJ3
Hamilton: No.144Please respect copyright.PENANAvbLRwzQ52c
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 144Please respect copyright.PENANAGZRoDtM5bR
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...144Please respect copyright.PENANAIjCwm2XeSO
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-144Please respect copyright.PENANAqs8njvQamo
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...144Please respect copyright.PENANAtAOiQNrvdj
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 144Please respect copyright.PENANA4pyL96cPSX
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?144Please respect copyright.PENANATW8dszy6Qf
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 144Please respect copyright.PENANAGyOrDNOEAA
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)144Please respect copyright.PENANA1uaWUQhoIQ
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? 144Please respect copyright.PENANAxPQ87M2JGY
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. 144Please respect copyright.PENANAXOOWj2YPQC
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...144Please respect copyright.PENANA30yA8gPN45
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.)144Please respect copyright.PENANAIiwkKWL3he
