[Eliza:]
Stay alive...
Eliza: I asked one thing. ONE THING. And what happened.
Peggy: I died.
Alex: I died.
Philip: I died.
Angelica: I also died, but was there for you.
Eliza: *Puts head in hands and groans*
[Eliza/Angelica/Ensemble women:]
Stay alive...
[Hamilton:]
I have never seen the General so despondent
I have taken over writing all his correspondence
Congress writes, "George, attack the British forces."
I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horses
Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance
They only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence
Hercules: The poor horses!
Angelica: Why do they only take British money if they are trying to get free of British rule?
People who fought in the war: *quiet*
Phillip: Cause they were selfish idiots?
Eliza: Phillip!
Phillip: It's true.
[Washington:]
The cavalry's not coming
Peggy: Oof.
Hamilton Peeps: What?
Peggy: Peggy knows all.
[Hamilton:]
But, sir!
[Washington:]
Alex, listen. There's only one way for us to win this
Provoke outrage, outright
[Hamilton:]
That's right
[Washington:]
Don't engage, strike by night
Remain relentless 'til their troops take flight
[Hamilton:]
Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight
[Washington:]
Outrun
[Hamilton:]
Outrun
[Washington:]
Outlast
[Hamilton:]
Outlast
Jefferson: Stop being a parrot.
Alex: No.
[Washington:]
Hit 'em quick, get out fast
[Hamilton:]
Chick-a-plao!
Jefferson: I take that back, continue being a parrot.
[Washington:]
Stay alive 'til this horror show is past
We're gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast
[Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Raise a glass!
Madison: I think you guys have enough drinks.
[Mulligan:]
I go back to New York and my apprenticeship
Jefferson: Why?
Hercules: You'll see.
[Lafayette:]
I ask for French aid, I pray that France has sent a ship
Lafayette: And they did! *fist pumps*
Hercules: *Does boi pose* protect this person.
[Laurens:]
I stay at work with Hamilton
We write essays against slavery
And every day's a test of our camaraderie and bravery
Peggy: Hm.
[Hamilton:]
We cut supply lines, we steal contraband
We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand
And ev'ry day
"Sir, entrust me with a command"
And ev'ry day
[Washington:]
No
Alec: He really said: No♥
[Hamilton:]
He dismisses me out of hand
[Hamilton (Eliza/Angelica):]
Instead of me (Stay alive...)
He promotes
Charles Lee ([Lee:] Charles Lee)
Makes him second-in-command:
[Lee:]
I'm a General. Whee!
Lee: *groans and puts his head in his hands*
[Hamilton:]
Yeah. He's not the choice I would have gone with
Madison: Me neither
[Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette:]
He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth
Jefferson: Jeez.
[Washington:]
Ev'ryone attack!
[Lee:]
Retreat!
[Washington:]
Attack!
[Lee:]
Retreat!
[Washington:]
What are you doing, Lee? Get back on your feet!
[Lee:]
But there's so many of them!
Phillip: Yeah, no duh, it's a war.
Eacker: I kinda agree with him
Phillip: Thank you.
Eacker: *small yay*
[Washington:]
I'm sorry, is this not your speed?!
Hamilton!
[Hamilton:]
Ready, sir!
[Washington:]
Have Lafayette take the lead!
[Hamilton:]
Yes, sir!
King George: HAHAHA YOU CRUSHED HIS DREAMS
Phee: *whispers* 2020 crushed me
[Laurens:]
A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat
Eliza: That's terrible!
Angelica: Is it really though?
Theo: Ooh! I love food-for-thought questions!
[Lafayette:]
As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat
Hercules: Y'all were bad off.
Lafayette: Of course
[Hamilton:]
Charles Lee was left behind
Without a pot to piss in
He started sayin' this to anybody who would listen:
[Lee:]
Washington cannot be left alone to his devices
Indecisive, from crisis to crisis
The best thing he can do for the revolution
Is turn n' go back to plantin' tobacco in Mount Vernon
Lee: I stand by nothing. I sucked.
Seabury: You don't suck THAT much.
Lee: OwO
Alex: Of course you did.
[Company:]
Oo!
[Washington:]
Don't do a thing. History will prove him wrong
Burr: It always does
[Hamilton:]
But, sir!
[Washington:]
We have a war to fight, let's move along
[Laurens:]
Strong words from Lee, someone oughta hold him to it
Laurens: They should have.
[Hamilton:]
I can't disobey direct orders
Washington: And what did you do?
Peggy: Shush! No spoilers!
[Laurens:]
Then I'll do it
Alexander, you're the closest friend I've got
[Hamilton:]
Laurens, do not throw away your shot
Alec: How did you-
Peggy: WHAT HAPPENES NEXT?
Phee: Next song.
