(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zN2Dj4zH8
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzoSD1DtrS
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfSZdduGDI
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYDbZFNDx3
Hamilton: No.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyqnMVd6Ul
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPNUvtk0dB
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyUIZJXVsf
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qqI8g7va2
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizrF0SzUgl
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH7kq5XUlV
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GvZnt5ypP
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrDbzWCsaW
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05DY0cdt7N
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? 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuxwBoWDi8
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. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefK7ZYXDIY
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...268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX55KCgYPR
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.)268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJEuIGhL9g
