PHILIP: Meet the latest graduate of King’s College! I prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish! The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops! The ladies say my brain’s not where the resemblance stops! I’m only nineteen but my mind is older Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder I shoulder his legacy with pride I used to hear him say That someday I would—
ENSEMBLE: Blow us all away
PHILIP: Ladies, I’m lookin for a Mr. George Eacker Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker He disparaged my father’s legacy in front of a crowd I can’t have that, I’m making my father proud
MARTHA: I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks He was goin’ to see a play
PHILIP: Well, I’ll go visit his box
DOLLY: God, you’re a fox
PHILIP: And y’all look pretty good in ya’ frocks How ‘bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?
BOTH: Ok!
COMPANY: Blow us all away!
PHILIP: George!
GEORGE: Shh
PHILIP: George!
GEORGE: Shh! I’m tryin’ to watch the show!
PHILIP: Ya’ shoulda watched your mouth before you Talked about my father though!
GEORGE: I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true You father’s a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you
ENSEMBLE: Ooooooooooh!
PHILIP: It’s like that?
GEORGE: Yeah, I don’t fool around I’m not your little schoolboy friends
PHILIP: See you on the dueling ground That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now
GEORGE: I know where to find you, piss off I’m watchin’ this show now
PHILIP: Pops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to—
HAMILTON: Slow down
PHILIP: I came to ask you for advice. This is my very first duel They don’t exactly cover this subject in boarding school
HAMILTON: Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?
PHILIP: He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease
HAMILTON: Where is this happening?
PHILIP: Across the river, in Jersey
HAMILTON/PHILIP: Everything is legal in New Jersey…
HAMILTON Alright. So this is what you’re gonna do: Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air This will put an end to the whole affair
PHILIP: But what if he decides to shoot? Then I’m a goner
HAMILTON: No. He’ll follow suit if he’s truly a man of honor To take someone’s life, that is something you can’t shake Philip, your mother can’t take another heartbreak
PHILIP: Father—
HAMILTON: Promise me. You don’t want this Young man’s blood on your conscience
PHILIP: Okay, I promise
HAMILTON: Come back home when you’re done Take my guns. Be smart. Make me proud, son
PHILIP: My name is Philip I am a poet I’m a little nervous, but I can’t show it I’m sorry, I’m a Hamilton with pride You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide Mister Eacker! How was the rest of your show?
GEORGE: I’d rather skip the pleasantries Let’s go Grab your pistol
PHILIP: Confer with your men The duel will commence after we count to ten
ENSEMBLE: Count to ten!
PHILIP: Look ‘em in the eye, aim no higher Summon all the courage you require Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky—
MALE ENSEMBLE: One two three four
FULL ENSEMBLE: Five six seven
