*I don't own anything besides my changes*
[PIPPA]
Meet the latest graduate of King's College!
I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my mum!
The fellas say my brain's not where the resemblance stops!
I'm only nineteen but my mind is older
Gotta be my own girl, like my mother, but bolder
I shoulder her legacy with pride
I used to hear her say
That someday
I would—
[ENSEMBLE]
Blow us all away
[PIPPA]
Boys, I'm lookin for a Mrs. Georgia Eacker
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
She disparaged my mother's legacy in front of a crowd
I can't have that, I'm making my mother proud
[MARK .J]
I saw her just up Broadway a couple of blocks
She was goin' to see a play
[PIPPA]
Well, I'll go visit her box
[DERICK]
God, you're a fox
[PIPPA]
And y'all look pretty good in ya' frocks
How 'bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?
[BOTH]
Ok!
[COMPANY]
Blow us all away!
[PIPPA]
George!
[GEORGIA]
Shh
[PIPPA]
Georgia!
[GEORGIA]
Shh! I'm tryin' to watch the show!
[PIPPA]
Ya' shoulda watched your mouth before you
Talked about my mother though!
[GEORGIA]
I didn't say anything that wasn't true
Your mother's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooooooooooh!
[PIPPA]
It's like that?
[GEORGIA]
Yeah, I don't fool around
I'm not your little schoolgirl friends
[PIPPA]
See you on the dueling ground
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now
[GEORGIA]
I know where to find you, piss off
I'm watchin' this show now
Shh
[PIPPA]
Ma, if you had only heard the shit she said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to—
[HAMILTON]
Slow down
[PIPPA]
I came to ask you for advice. This is my very first duel
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school
[HAMILTON]
Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?
[PIPPA]
She refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease
[HAMILTON]
Where is this happening?
[PIPPA]
Across the river, in Jersey
[HAMILTON/PIPPA]
Everything is legal in New Jersey...
[HAMILTON]
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
[PIPPA]
But what if she decides to shoot? Then I'm a goner
[HAMILTON]
No. She'll follow suit if she's truly a woman of honor
To take someone's life, that is something you can't shake
Pippa, your father can't take another heartbreak
[PIPPA]
Mother—
[HAMILTON]
Promise me. You don't want this
Young girl's blood on your conscience
[PIPPA]
Okay, I promise
[HAMILTON]
Come back home when you're done
Take my guns. Be smart. Make me proud, hun
[PIPPA]
My name is Pippa
I am a poet
I'm a little nervous, but I can't show it
I'm sorry, I'm a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my mother, I cannot let it slide
Misses Eacker! How was the rest of your show?
[GEORGIA]
I'd rather skip the pleasantries
Let's go
Grab your pistol
[PIPPA]
Confer with your women
The duel will commence after we count to ten
[ENSEMBLE]
Count to ten!
[PIPPA]
Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky—
[MALE ENSEMBLE]
One two three four
[FULL ENSEMBLE]
Five six seven—
