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.)337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKacZJ2vffg

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlsUzHnuL1

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlncXYqIYt

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT2rdR4zZv

Hamilton: No.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL7rCFvx3I

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yn91u7XGn

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmf9Wv2w88

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSviaVWqBT

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTCqfDYt5s

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSTFPTYhei

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wLZv3esqD

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrDtc4a51N

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv7kavCS4l

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? 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc2jAOfX8t

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. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJjslgww3J

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...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsnFjGEIeK

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.)337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbofA5tAptl

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