Alright, alright. That’s what I’m talkin’ about! 
Now everyone give it up for the maid of honor
Angelica Schuyler!

To the bride! 

From your sister

Who is always by your side

To your union

And the hope that you provide 

May you always…

Be satisfied.

[ANGELICA]
I remember that night, I just might
Regret that night for the rest of my days 

I remember those soldier boys 
Tripping over themselves to win our praise

I remember that dreamlike candlelight
Like a dream that you can’t quite place

But Alexander, I’ll never forget the first
Time I saw your face 

I have never been the same 
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame 
And when you said “Hi,” I forgot my dang name 
Set my heart aflame, ev’ry part aflame 

[FULL COMPANY]
This is not a game…

[HAMILTON]
You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied

[ANGELICA]
I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. You forget yourself 

[HAMILTON]
You’re like me. I’m never satisfied 

[ANGELICA]
Is that right? 

[HAMILTON]
I have never been satisfied

[ANGELICA]
My name is Angelica Schuyler 

[HAMILTON]
Alexander Hamilton 

[ANGELICA]
Where’s your fam’ly from?

[HAMILTON]
Unimportant. There’s a million things I haven’t done but
Just you wait, just you wait… 

[ANGELICA]
So so so—
So this is what it feels like to match wits
With someone at your level! What the hell is the catch? It’s
The feeling of freedom, of seein’ the light 
It’s Ben Franklin with a key and a kite! You see it, right? 
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
Ev’rything we said in total agreement, it’s
A dream and it’s a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture, it’s a bit of a stance.He’s a
Bit of a flirt, but I’m ‘a give it a chance
I asked about his fam’ly, did you see his answer?
His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance?
He’s penniless, he’s flying by the seat of his pants
