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.)295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKH4hCBEwq

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJSclyxTMs

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bxQqjfprx

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zoPp2jkL

Hamilton: No.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD5g8Nr7Nz

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT5x9pzPoL

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZQpXcXXVW

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSw0Cyj4i7

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX6CdpWsIc

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PClMEOgXC

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu01GXZ8JQw

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqdyvL3JJa

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB4pSkW3aj

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? 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFu7Tp4hCS

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. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxnnAp20zG

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...295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtJsqBZ574

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.)295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OtXaQrV7N
