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.)342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i7dSX1qUu

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKBQjHwc4W

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs047EsnCmb

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJczVqwCNgz

Hamilton: No.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pjySNXaog

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzSUHPOtrU

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8k6v109hc

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j6qt3fhIb

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY5IUj7lBq

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Yfi8sBil

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yicZT3k5K

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF140VIVMsW

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPww3Z6Y4D

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? 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDx7gxmWbL

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. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYpLGfWTgX

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...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAYwv4Tav2

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.)342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBguJrGR9cA

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