Meet the latest graduate of Kingās College!
I probāly shouldnāt brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops!
The ladies say my brainās not where the resemblance stops!
Iām 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 wouldā
[ENSEMBLE]
Blow us all away
[ ]
Ladies, Iām lookin for a Mr. George Eacker
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
He disparaged my fatherās legacy in front of a crowd
I canāt have that, Iām making my father proud
[MARTHA]
I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
He was goinā to see a play
[ ]
Well, Iāll go visit his box
[DOLLY]
God, youāre a fox
[ ]
And yāall look pretty good in yaā frocks
How ābout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?
[BOTH]
Ok!
[COMPANY]
Blow us all away!
[ ]
George!
[ ]
Shh
[ ]
George!
[ ]
Shh! Iām tryinā to watch the show!
[ ]
Yaā shoulda watched your mouth before you
Talked about my father though!
[ ]
I didnāt say anything that wasnāt true
Your fatherās a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooooooooooh!
[ ]
Itās like that?
[ ]
Yeah, I donāt fool around
Iām not your little schoolboy friends
[ ]
See you on the dueling ground
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now
[ ]
I know where to find you, piss off
Iām watchinā this show now
Shh
[ ]
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 toā
[ ]
Slow down
[ ]
I came to ask you for advice. This is my very first duel
They donāt exactly cover this subject in boarding school
[ ]
Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?
[ ]
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease
[ ]
Where is this happening?
[ ]
Across the river, in Jersey
[ / ]
Everything is legal in New Jerseyā¦
[ ]
Alright. So this is what youāre 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
[ ]
But what if he decides to shoot? Then Iām a goner
[ ]
No. Heāll follow suit if heās truly a man of honor
To take someoneās life, that is something you canāt shake
Philip, your mother canāt take another heartbreak
[ ]
Fatherā
[ ]
Promise me. You donāt want this
Young manās blood on your conscience
[ ]
Okay, I promise
[ ]
Come back home when youāre done
Take my guns. Be smart. Make me proud, son
[ ]
My name is Philip
I am a poet
Iām a little nervous, but I canāt show it
Iām sorry, Iām a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide
Mister Eacker! How was the rest of your show?
[ ]
Iād rather skip the pleasantries
Letās go
Grab your pistol
[ ]
Confer with your men
The duel will commence after we count to ten
[ENSEMBLE]
Count to ten!
[ ]
Look āem in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the skyā
[MALE ENSEMBLE]
One two three four
[FULL ENSEMBLE]
Five six sevenā
