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.)343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbsL7yoFEW

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSdEYXaJLX

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmigCWWmoGI

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQfIKVozgQ

Hamilton: No.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZ1IpscZg

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeac2sT2h0E

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2odoxACT6

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TvkpXDAJ5

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk8kfWHo0n

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4geGd2SXq

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOed1SdR1RD

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBcBagvbYC

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Z5xE3q6t

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? 343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi57ksu1HSV

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. 343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J51Ci4v5n

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...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWkoU99P0i

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.)343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHK9AB2xf1

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