Phillipa Soo
Schuyler Defeated (2014 Workshop)
[PHILIP]
Look! Grandpa's in the paper!
"War hero Philip Schuyler in danger of losing senate to young upstart Aaron Burr"
Grandpa might lose his seat in the senate
[ELIZA]
I thought he was unopposed
[PHILIP]
Not according to the paper, he isn't
[ELIZA]
Go make sure the door is closed
[PHILIP]
Further down
[PHILIP/ELIZA]
Further down
[PHILIP]
See Schuyler has a challenger from New York
[ELIZA]
New York
[PHILIP/ELIZA]
For senator
Burr!
[ELIZA]
I gotta go, I gotta find Alexander
[PHILIP]
Let him know we're on his side!
[ELIZA]
No. He'll consider this a personal slander
I've gotta stop a homicide!
[PHILIP]
Oh!
[ELIZA]
Look around
[PHILIP/ELIZA]
We should look around
[ELIZA]
Let’s go and find your father down in New York
[PHILIP]
New York
[HAMILTON]
Burr!
Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?
[BURR]
Since being one put me on the up and up again, hah
[HAMILTON]
No one know who you are or what you do
[BURR]
They don't need to know me, they don’t like you
[HAMILTON]
Excuse me?
[BURR]
All of Wall Street thinks you're great
You'll always be adored by the things you create
But upstate, you're the rascal who trades away the capital
[HAMILTON]
Wait—
[BURR]
The asshole who taxes the a-a-alcohol!
[HAMILTON]
I always considered you a friend
[BURR]
I don't see why that has to end
A senate seat was up for grabs and I took it
It's not my fault people think you're crooked
[HAMILTON]
You’re gonna make a fool of me through my father in law?
[BURR]
There's the kid who almost shot Charles Lee in the jaw
My god, your pride will be the death of us all
Beware, it goeth before the fall!
[ELIZA]
Alexander, there you are
[HAMILTON]
Eliza?
[ELIZA]
You forgot your papers
Mr. Burr, good, sir? It's been so long
How are the Theodosias?
[BURR]
As a matter of fact, my wife has taken ill
[ELIZA]
I'm not surprised, what with the chill
You'll send her our regards?
[BURR]
I will
[ELIZA]
And how's your daughter?
[BURR]
She's my pride and joy
Fluent in French
And Latin!
[PHILIP]
So am I!
[BURR]
She's the same age as your boy
[HAMILTON]
Yeah, one day he'll run Manhattan!
[ELIZA]
We must be going, Burr
But send your girls our love
[BURR]
Nice to meet your son
[HAMILTON]
We’re not done
Mr. Burr, sir
[ELIZA]
Hon...
[BURR]
If I were you, I'd stick with her, sir
