(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG0GSdmozP
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN1csJQULX
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSkgIRWzpT
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM5CfaDr7m
Hamilton: No.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb6TWR79u6
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB09pVKBQt
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMLMzx8lYZ
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYXyabwFzG
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvHqQPVKRd
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nmJ7jFwKj
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNoqHiSjtE
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSjj5pU8yg
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWlnxkJWKq
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? 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG17g6BqjQ3
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. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1qMsScoaT
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...269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EbLUwglzh
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.)269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WxXv4xUox
