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.)265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDaLDRMAXn

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee5VU0gWxo

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mfFEkgBow

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YjdCXA8Ak

Hamilton: No.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfwzPK0jgm

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dM259kLxA

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH4OtBrqMx

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoHBGvCdwh

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaweB2dpYw

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseA9QFaJOQ

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqi3A93tsq

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2rNBQ3EoT

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVhiQkd9Rl

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? 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTCmS2PDUF

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. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFMTxH8B1u

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...265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzORgjuFwh6

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.)265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8fXJh96YK
