(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s597FRmnK
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXLgUVkXzc
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeUZGWcajK
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7UBLTmI8h
Hamilton: No.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf94ZwFaCbL
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8mfF6AaXF
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdcANHUqFy
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY13K9lYLa
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLByiPrIQb
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCR1wPH0me
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGzPhF4QiU
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytXbsGS8n2
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKt96xKq8A
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? 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQLK8gYcrB
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. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnVuijlALc
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...297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbU4dD73r
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.)297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVeGZOebwx
