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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPZRVid3l

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xmXwYi8rH

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqlz69KkKn

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14allW0qW4

Hamilton: No.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1QTk7s1ZU

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp7RjT8wPs

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxqNX6Tk1L

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MbdbMDmMu

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

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSZmS2CXDj

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxJrDmsoP4

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb33BRgnPqF

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1F6aFc2wq

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi6dZGg7nW

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWVSX1PC33

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uh5zN36c8

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bzbdkna1m

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