(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc7MZCeCc7
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcH4WcXZ2a
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb8L9DO98Z
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32fT0eVGQE
Hamilton: No.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtZSkSPGnG
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMt2TEnhjy
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FYnSVDjCO
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1hvaakb4a
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXpfuDmukK
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCi8p3gxj5
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDUeStGcyH
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ADXxJUM0
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGRWZqX4uf
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? 294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjockrLEsA
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. 294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5E1SDyY7t
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...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHUMPAVPwd
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.)294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJU1Z6hRu2
