I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
He was goin’ to see a play
Well, I’ll go visit his box
God, you’re a fox
And y’all look pretty good in ya’ frocks
How ‘bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?
Ok!
Blow us all away!

George (shh!) George! (Shh, I’m tryin’ to watch the show!)
Ya shoulda watched your mouth before you talked about my father though
I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true… Your father’s a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you
[Oooooooohh]
(Omigod. One looped soundtrack, 25 memorized songs, and months of hinting later, I'm seeing Hamilton.)
It's like that?
Yeah I dont fool around, I'm not you're little schoolboy
I'll see you on the dueling ground! Unless you want to go outside and do this right now?
I know where to find you, piss off I'm watching the show now.
Pops if you had only heard the sh** he said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to (slow down)
I came to ask you for advice, this is my very first duel
They don’t exactly cover this subject in boarding school
Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease
Where is this happening?
Across the river, in Jersey
Everything is legal in New Jersey!
Alright, so this is what you're gonna do
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you.
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
This will put an end to the whole affair
But what if he decides to shoot? Then I'm a goner
No. He’ll follow suit if he’s truly a man of honour
To take someone’s life, that is something you can’t shake
Philip, your mother can’t take another heartbreak (who says?)
Father–
Promise me
You don't want this young man's blood on your conscience
Okay, I promise
Come back home when you’re done.
Take my guns. Be smart. Make me proud, son.
My name is Philip
I am a poet
And I'm a little nervous but I can't show it
I'm sorry, I'm a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my father I cannot let it slide
Mister Eacker! How was the rest of your show?
I’d rather skip the pleasantries
Let’s go, grab your pistol
Confer with your men
The duel will commence after we count to 10
(count to ten)
Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require,
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky

…did you just… was that… did you just put Philip's death down to a click!?
It's not a click, it's a gunshot. BOOM
Ok, just a quick funny story here. Last year, my class performed several songs from Hamilton. One of them was Blow Us All Away. After the countdown when Philip got shot, he kid playing him had to fall down. Once during rehearsal, he forgot that we didn’t count all the way to ten, so when he fell he started to say eight, and said “AAAYYYYYY….” In our class, that was Philip’s last word.
Aww…
aaaayyyyyy wassup God how ya doin'
aaaayyyyyy wassup God how ya doin'
Oh wow XDDD
This just made Phillip's death a little less sad.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
There are ten things you need to know:
Number one! We rowed across the Hudson at dawn,
My friend William P. Van Ness signed on as my-
(really. right after phillip?)
Number two!
Hamilton arrived with his crew, Nathaniel Pendleton
And a doctor that he knew
(yup)
I watched Hamilton examine the terrain
I wish I could tell you what was happening in his brain
This man has poisoned my political pursuits!
Most disputes die and no one shoots!
(Just so you know, they only ever count up to nine, this song included.)
Number four!
Hamilton drew first position
Looking to the world like a man on a mission.
This is a soldier with a marksman's ability.
The doctor turned around so he could have deniability.
Number five!
[Burr] Now I didn't know this at the time
But we were
[Burr] Near the same spot [Philip] Near the same spot)
Your son died, is that why [Hamilton]My son died, is that why
Yo can we revive this?

When I was at a competition, I was changing into my costume in a public restroom and singing Dear Theodosia softly to myself, and this random lady told me that I had an “angelic voice”.
Lol nice. What kind of competition?
