Un-musical it - That Would Be Enough (Hamilton)

(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLxUfXbDv8

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KX2ADfRdL

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4skwHSoUsf

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0toUXRnGx5

Hamilton: No.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrmzMf8VoX

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioO3DTJFLz

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlUNxTgh4h

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDwSKwIsUd

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiL5vgCmec

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IaQCEzdpA

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ql4XkHiYg

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SMqbDZSi8

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRscUtMwRTz

Eliza: Look around. Look at where you are. Look at where you started. You used to be an immigrant from a place no one knew about, trying to gain an education in a place you weren't respected. Now, you write for General Washington, a man who is going to bring us independence. How can anyone not respect you now? 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuJeVg3ikU

Not to mention, the fact that you're alive is a miracle. You've lived twice as long as expected. Just please, stay alive, that would be enough.

And if this child has a fraction of your smile or a fragment of your mind, (laughs) look out world! That would be enough. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYynBGK6s9

I don't pretend to know the challenges your facing, the worlds you create and erase in your mind. But I am not afraid. I know who I married. I don't need you to be famous or the most successful man in America, just as long as you come home at the end of the day, everyday...that would be enough.

We don't need a legacy. We don't need money. And if I can grant you peace of mind...if you can let me inside your heart...293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnIEEdhAB4

There will be a narrative written about you one day. Let me be a part of it. Let this moment be the first chapter, the one where you decide to stay...

Oh, and I could be enough! And we could be enough. That would be enough...

(Lost in the moment, Eliza looks at Hamilton again. He is crying. Another beat, and they embrace.)293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADr1dUkT2R

I just realized that this muscial might not be the best for my non-American readers...
