[Laurens]

I may not live to see our glory!

[Mulligan/Lafayette]

I may not live to see our glory!

[Laurens]

But I’ve seen wonders great and small

[Mulligan/Lafayette]

I’ve seen wonders great and small

[Laurens]

‘Cause if the tomcat can get married

[Mulligan/Lafayette]

If Alexander can get married—

[Laurens]

There’s hope for our ass, after all!

[Lafayette]

Raise a glass to freedom

[Laurens/Mulligan]

Hey!

Something you will never see again!

[Mulligan]

No matter what she tells you

[Lafayette]

Let’s have another round tonight!

[Laurens]

Raise a glass to the four of us!

[Lafayette/Hamilton]

Ho!

[Mulligan]

To the newly not poor of us!

[Laurens/Lafayette/Hamilton]

Woo!

[Lafayette]

We’ll tell the story of tonight

[Laurens]

Let’s have another round—

[Hamilton]

Well, if it isn’t Aaron Burr

[Burr]

Sir!

[Hamilton]

I didn’t think that you would make it

[Burr]

To be sure

[Mulligan/Lafayette]

Burr!

[Burr]

I came to say congratulations

[Mulligan]

Spit a verse, Burr!

[Burr]

I see the whole gang is here

[Lafayette]

You are the worst, Burr!

[Hamilton]

Ignore them

Congrats to you, Lieutenant Colonel

I wish I had your command instead of manning George’s journal

[Burr]

No, you don’t

[Hamilton]

Yes, I do

[Burr]

Now, be sensible

From what I hear, you’ve made yourself indispensable

[Laurens]

Well, well, I heard

You’ve got a special someone on the side, Burr

[Hamilton]

Is that so?

[Laurens]

What are you tryin’ to hide, Burr?

[Burr]

I should go

[Hamilton]

No, these guys should go

[Lafayette]

What?

[Laurens]

No!

[Hamilton]

Leave us alone

[Mulligan]

Man

[Hamilton]

It’s alright, Burr

I wish you’d brought this girl with you tonight, Burr

[Burr]

You’re very kind, but I’m afraid it’s unlawful, sir

[Hamilton]

What do you mean?

[Burr]

She’s married

[Hamilton]

I see

[Burr]

She’s married to a British officer

[Hamilton]

Oh shit

[Burr]

Congrats again, Alexander

Smile more

I’ll see you on the other side of the war

[Hamilton]

I will never understand you

If you love this woman, go get her! What are you waiting for?

[Burr]

I’ll see you on the other side of the war

[Hamilton]

I’ll see you on the other side of the war
