[HAMILTON]

Pardon me

Are you Aaron Burr, sir?

[BURR]

That depends, who's asking?

[HAMILTON]

Oh, sure, sir

I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir

I have been looking for you

[BURR]

I'm getting nervous

[HAMILTON]

Sir, I heard your name at Princeton

I was seeking an accelerated course of study

When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours

I may have punched him

It's a blur, sir

He handles the financials?

[BURR]

You punched the bursar

[HAMILTON]

Yes

I wanted to do what you did

Graduate in two, then join the revolution

He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid

So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?

[BURR]

It was my parents' dying wish before they passed

[HAMILTON]

You're an orphan

Of course! I'm an orphan

God, I wish there was a war

Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for

[BURR]

Can I buy you a drink?

[HAMILTON]

That would be nice

[BURR]

While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice

Talk less

[HAMILTON]

What?

[BURR]

Smile more

[HAMILTON]

Ha

[BURR]

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

[HAMILTON]

You can't be serious

[BURR]

You wanna get ahead?

[HAMILTON]

Yes

[BURR]

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

[LAURENS]

A-ya-yow, ya-yow-yow

What time is it?

[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]

Show time

[BURR]

Like I said

[LAURENS]

Show time, show time, yo!

I'm John Laurens in the place to be

A-two pints of Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh

Those redcoats don't want it with me

'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops 'til I'm free

[LAFAYETTE]

Ay, oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette

The Lancelot of the revolutionary set

I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir"

Tell the King "Casse-toi", who's the best?

C'est moi

[MULLIGAN]

Brah, brah

I am Hercules Mulligan

Up in it, lovin' it

Yes, I heard ya mother said, "Come again?"

[LAURENS & LAFAYETTE]

Ayy

[MULLIGAN]

Lock up ya daughters and horses

Of course it's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets

[LAFAYETTE]

Wow

[LAURENS]

No more sex, pour me another brew, son

Let's raise a couple more

[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]

To the revolution!

[LAURENS]

Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college

[MULLIGAN]

Aaron Burr

[LAURENS]

Give us a verse, drop some knowledge

[BURR]

Good luck with that: You're takin' a stand

You spit, I'ma sit, we'll see where we land

[LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]

Boo

[LAURENS]

Burr, the revolution's imminent

What do you stall for?

[HAMILTON]

If you stand for nothin', Burr, what'll you fall for?

[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]

Ooh

[LAURENS]

Who are you?

[MULLIGAN]

Who are you?

[LAFAYETTE]

Who are you?

[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN]

Ooh, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
