[Phillip]
Look!
Grandpa's in the paper!
War hero Philip Schuyler
Loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr
Grandpa just lost his seat in the senate
[Eliza]
Sometimes that's how it goes
[Phillip]
Daddy's gonna find out any minute
[Eliza]
I'm sure he already knows
[Phillip]
Further down
[Phillip & Eliza]
Further down
[Phillip]
Let's meet the newest senator from New York
[Eliza]
New York
[Phillip & Eliza]
Our senator
[Hamilton]
Burr?
Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?
[Burr]
Since being one put me on the up and up again
[Hamilton]
No one knows who you are or what you do
[Burr]
They don't need to know me
They don't like you
[Hamilton]
Excuse me?
[Burr]
Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great
You'll always be adored by the things you create
But upstate
[Hamilton]
Wait
[Burr]
People think you're crooked
Schuyler's seat was up for grabs so I took it
[Hamilton]
I've always considered you a friend
[Burr]
I don't see why that has to end
[Hamilton]
You changed parties to run against my father-in-law
[Burr]
I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw
I swear your pride will be the death of us all
Beware, it goeth before the fall
