Schuyler Defeated (2014 Workshop)

[PHILIP]

Look! Grandpa’s in the paper!

"War hero Philip Schuyler in danger of losing senate to young upstart Aaron Burr?"

Grandpa might lose his seat in the senate

[ELIZA]

I thought he was unopposed?

[PHILIP]

Not according to the paper he isn’t!

[ELIZA]

Go make sure the door is closed

[PHILIP/ELIZA]

Further down, further down

See Schuyler has a challenger from New York, New York

For senator

Burr!

[ELIZA]

I gotta go I gotta find Alexander

[PHILIP]

Let him know we’re on his side

[ELIZA]

No! He’ll consider this a personal slander

I’ve gotta stop a homicide!

[PHILIP]

Oh!

[PHILIP/ELIZA]

Look around, we should look around

Let’s go and find your father down in New York, New York

[HAMILTON]

Burr! Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?

[BURR]

Since being one put me on the up and up again, hah

[HAMILTON]

No one know who you are or what you do

[BURR]

They don’t need to know me, they don’t like you

[HAMILTON]

Excuse me?

[BURR]

All of Wall Street thinks you’re great

You’ll always be adored by the things you create

But upstate you’re the rascal who trades away the capital

[HAMILTON]

Wait-

[BURR]

The asshole who taxes the a-a-alcohol!

[HAMILTON]

I always considered you a friend

[BURR]

I don’t see why that has to end

A senate seat was up for grabs and I took it

It’s not my fault people think you’re crooked

[HAMILTON]

You’re gonna make a fool of me through my father in law?

[BURR]

There’s the kid who almost shot Charles Lee in the jaw

My god, your pride will be the death of us all

Beware, it goeth before the fall!

[ELIZA]

Alexander, there you are

[HAMILTON]

Eliza?

[ELIZA]

You forgot your papers

Mister Burr, good sir, it’s been so long

How are the Theodosias?

[BURR]

As a matter of fact, my wife has taken ill

[ELIZA]

I’m not surprised, what with the chill

You’ll send her our regards

[BURR]

I will

[ELIZA]

And how’s your daughter?

[BURR]

She’s my pride and joy

Fluent in French- and Latin!

[PHILIP]

So am I!

[BURR]

She’s the same age as your boy

[HAMILTON]

Yeah, one day he’ll run Manhattan

[ELIZA]

We must be going, Burr

But send your girls our love

[BURR]

Nice to meet your son

[HAMILTON]

We’re not done, mister Burr, sir

[ELIZA]

Hon

[BURR]

If I were you I’d stick with her, sir
