[ELIZA]
Good! Un deux trois quatre
Cinq sept huit neuf

One two three four five six seven eight nine!

[HAMILTON]
My dearest, Angelica
“They have tied me to a stake, I cannot fly
But, bear-like, I must fight the course”
I trust you’ll understand the reference to
Another Scottish tragedy without my having to cite the source
Yes, I’m Macbeth, and ambition is my folly
I’m a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson’s Macduff
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane

[HAMILTON/ANGELICA]
And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away…

[ELIZA]
Take a break
[HAMILTON]
I am on my way

[ELIZA]
There’s a little surprise before supper
And it cannot wait

[HAMILTON]
I’ll be there in just a minute, save my plate

[ELIZA]
Alexander—

[HAMILTON]
Okay, okay—

[ELIZA]
Your son is nine years old today
And he has something that he’d like to say
He’s been practicing all day
Philip, take it away—

[PHILIP]
Daddy, daddy, look—
My name is Philip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just
To show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can't write mine
[HAMILTON]
What!

[PHILIP]
I practice French and play piano with my mother

[HAMILTON]
Uh-huh!

[PHILIP]
I have a sister, but I want a little brother

[HAMILTON]
Okay

[PHILIP]
My daddy's tryna start America's bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq!

[HAMILTON]
Bravo!

[ELIZA]
Take a break

[HAMILTON]
Hey, our kid is pretty great

[ELIZA]
Run away with us for the summer
Let’s go upstate

[HAMILTON]
Eliza, I’ve got so much on my plate

[ELIZA]
We can all go stay with my father
There’s a lake I know…

[HAMILTON]
I know

[ELIZA]
In a nearby park

[HAMILTON]
I’d love to go

[ELIZA]
You and I can go when the night gets dark

[HAMILTON]
I will try to get away

[ANGELICA]
My dearest Alexander
I hope this letter finds you
Prolific, productive, wherever you may be
Your fav’rite older sister
Angelica, reminds you
There’s someone in your corner all the way across the sea
In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning. Did you intend this?
One stroke and you’ve consumed my waking days
It says:

[HAMILTON/ANGELICA]
“My dearest Angelica”

[ANGELICA]
With a comma after “dearest.” You’ve written

[HAMILTON AND ANGELICA]
“My dearest, Angelica.”

[ANGELICA]
Anyway, all this to say
I’m coming home this summer
At my sister’s invitation
I’ll be there with your fam’ly
If you make your way upstate
I know you’re very busy
And I know your work’s important
But I’m crossing the ocean and I just can’t wait

[HAMILTON AND ANGELICA]
You won’t be an ocean away
You will only be a moment away…

[ELIZA]
Alexander, come downstairs. Angelica’s arriving today!
Angelica!

[ANGELICA]
Eliza!

[HAMILTON]
The Schuyler sisters!

[ANGELICA]
Alexander

[HAMILTON]
Hi

[ANGELICA]
It’s good to see your face

[ELIZA]
Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family

[HAMILTON]
Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn’t have a real job anyway

[ANGELICA]
…you’re not joining us? Wait

[HAMILTON]
I’m afraid I cannot join you upstate

[ANGELICA]
Alexander, I came all this way

[ELIZA]
She came all this way—

[ANGELICA]
All this way—

[ELIZA AND ANGELICA]
Take a break

[HAMILTON]
Washington is staying in the city

[ELIZA AND ANGELICA]
Run away with us for the summer
Let’s go upstate

[HAMILTON]
Which means I have to stay in the city

[ELIZA AND ANGELICA]
We can all go stay with our father

[ELIZA]
There's a lake I know

[ANGELICA]
I know I'll miss your face

[ELIZA]
In a nearby park

[ANGELICA]
Screw your courage to the sticking place

[ELIZA]
You and I can go

[ANGELICA]
Eliza's right

[ELIZA/ANGELICA]
Take a break

[ELIZA]
And get away

[HAMILTON]
Washington is staying in the city

[ANGELICA]
Run away with us for the summer, let's

[ELIZA/ANGELICA]
Go upstate

[HAMILTON]
You know that means I have to stay in the city

[ELIZA]
Where we can stay

[ANGELICA]
We can all go stay with our father
If you take your time

[ELIZA]
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now

[ANGELICA]
You will make your mark
Close your eyes and dream

[ELIZA]
We can go

[ELIZA/ANGELICA]
When the night gets dark
Take a break

[HAMILTON]
I will be in the city
Write to me in the city
