(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)514Please respect copyright.PENANAt8DNecFJph
Hamilton: ...How long have you known?514Please respect copyright.PENANA4u9vcWwJWc
Eliza: A month or so.
Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 514Please respect copyright.PENANAPJZSgq9LMv
Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-514Please respect copyright.PENANAs23cCGw3mJ
Hamilton: No.514Please respect copyright.PENANAe2phll4hNx
Eliza: I told him to send you home. 514Please respect copyright.PENANADTKNrFdDQu
Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...514Please respect copyright.PENANA6maebyUwYE
Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-514Please respect copyright.PENANAGa85GNIWGN
Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...514Please respect copyright.PENANAzrgBqYlxxQ
Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 514Please respect copyright.PENANAM9IZ8ki6C8
Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?514Please respect copyright.PENANAPsSNlXKckM
Eliza: I relish being your wife. 514Please respect copyright.PENANALoRFeKzxIM
(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)514Please respect copyright.PENANAcCyW6EbXg8
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? 514Please respect copyright.PENANAKlVjoBbtBf
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. 514Please respect copyright.PENANAYWyeMEzB9r
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...514Please respect copyright.PENANAUuo01Eai3R
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.)514Please respect copyright.PENANA96D3yqhLMU

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