[Philip, spoken] Look: Grandpa's in the paper! "War Hero Philip Schuyler in Danger of Losing Senate Seat to Young, Upstart Aaron Burr..." [sung} 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] Further down [Eliza, Philip] Further down! [Philip] See Schuyler has a challenger from New York! [Eliza] New York! [Eliza, Philip] For senator: Burr! [Eliza] I gotta go I gotta find Alexander! [Philip] Tell him we're on his side! [Eliza] No... He'll consider this a Personal slander! I've gotta stop a homicide! [Philip] Oh! [Eliza] Look around! [Eliza, Philip] We should look around! [Eliza] Let's go and find your father Down in New York! [Philip] New York! [Hamilton] Burr! Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?! [Burr] Since being one put me on The up 'n 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] All of Wall Street thinks you're great You'll always be adored by 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've 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 You're pride will be the death of us all But beware! it goeth before the fall! [Eliza] Alexander, there you are! [Hamilton] Eliza?! [Eliza] You forgot your papers Mr. Burr, good sir It's been so long! How are the Theodosia's? [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 & Latin! [Philip] Well, 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, sir But send your girls our love! [Burr] Nice to meet your son! [Hamilton] Mister Burr, we're not done! [Eliza] Hun... [Burr] If I were you I'd stick with her Sir!
