Character: Hercules Milligan

[Seabury]
Attention, attention! My name is Samuel Seabury,
And I present to you "the Free thought
On the progress of work of the Continental Congress"!
Pay no attention to the rabble,
Screaming about revolution
In their hearts there is no place for your interests.
[Mulligan]
Oh, my God. Silence this fool.
[Seabury]
Chaos and bloodshed is not the solution.
Don't let them mislead you,
This Congress does not speak on my behalf.
[Burr]
Let him speak.
[Seabury]
They are playing a dangerous game,
I pray the king showed him leniency
Shame, shame...
[Seabury]
Hear ye, hear ye! My name is Samuel Seabury
And I present “Free Thoughts on the
Proceedings of the Continental Congress!”
Heed not the rabble
Who scream revolution
They have not your interests at heart.
[Mulligan]
Oh my God. Tear this dude apart.
[Seabury]
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don't let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me.
[Burr]
Let him be.
[Seabury]
They're playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame...

[Lawrence]
Raise a glass for freedom.
This is something that we have no one to take away,
Whatever may be said.
Let's raise our glasses for the four of us.
[Lawrence/Mulligan]
Tomorrow we will be more...
[Mulligan/Lafayette/Lawrence]
...to tell the story tonight.
[Hamilton]
They will tell the story tonight.
[Mulligan/Lafayette/Lawrence]
Raise a glass for freedom.
This is something that we have no one to take...

Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you
Raise a glass to the four of us.
[Laurens/Mulligan]
Tomorrow there'll be more of us.
[Mulligan/Lafayette/Laurens]
Telling the story of tonight.
[Hamilton]
Theyll tell the story of tonight.
[Laurens/Mulligan/Lafayette]
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away.

[Hamilton] Maybe I will not see our triumph.
[Lafayette/Mulligan/Lawrence] Maybe I will not see our triumph.
[Hamilton] But I will gladly join the fight!
[Lafayette/Mulligan/Lawrence] But I will gladly join the fight!
[Hamilton] And then our children will tell our story...
[Lafayette/Mulligan/Lawrence] And then our children will tell our story...
[Hamilton] I may not live to see our glory!
[Lafayette/Mulligan/Laurens] I may not live to see our glory!
[Hamilton] But I will gladly join the fight!
[Lafayette/Mulligan/Laurens] But I will gladly join the fight!

[Hamilton]
It's time to take a chance!
[Hamilton, Mulligan, Lawrence]
Arise! Arise!
It's time to take a chance!
Arise! Arise!
Time to take a chance!
Arise!
Take a chance!
It's time to take a chance!
Time to take a chance
And I
Don't miss your...
[The troupe]
...do not miss your chance!
[Hamilton]
It's time to take a shot
[Hamilton, Mulligan, Laurens]
Rise up, rise up
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
Time to take a shot
Rise up
Take a shot, a shot, a shot,
A-yo, it's time to take a shot
Time to take a shot
And I am
Not throwing away my
[Company]
Not throwing away my shot!

[Lafayette]
I dream of a life without the monarchy,
Unrest in France will lead to a "anarchie".
"Anarchie"? As you say, how you say? Oh, "anarchy"!
When I fight, I make opponents panic
Its...
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
Shot!
[Mulligan]
Yo, I'm a pupil of the tailor
And you, stupid, the place of my parents.
I joined the rebellion,
Because I know - this is my chance
To rise in society, instead of sewing the fabric.
I use my...
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
Chance!
[Lawrence]
But we will never be truly free,
While these slaves do not have those rights that we have.
You and me. Do or die. Wait, when I go on the offensive
On the stallion, at the head of the first Negro battalion.
Another...
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
A shot glass!
[Lafayette]
I dream of life without the monarchy
The unrest in France will lead to "onarchy"
"Onarchy?" How you say, how you s-Oh, anarchy!
When I fight I make the other side panicky
With my
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
Shot!
[Mulligan]
Yo, I'm a tailor's apprentice
And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I'm joining the rebellion
Cuz I know it's my chance
To advance socially, instead of sewin' some pants
I'm gonna take a
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
Shot!
[Laurens]
Eh, but we'll never be truly free
Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me
You and I, do or die, wait till I sally in on a stallion
With the first black battalion
Have another
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
Shot!

[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
We were meant to be...
[Hamilton]
...colony, which exists independently from the others.
Meanwhile, Britain no end of humiliating us.
By and large, their taxes merciless
King George thrives on this, squandering money.
He never released his descendants.
So, in this century will be a revolution,
Let me be a part of it!
[Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
(He says in brackets).
[Hamilton]
Don't be surprised when your history textbook
Will mention about me.
I will give my life if it would free us.
Sooner or later you will see my power.
I'm not going to miss the chance
I'm not going to miss your chance!
Hey, I'm in their country:
Young, aggressive and hungry.
And I'm not going to miss your chance!
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
We are - meant to be
[Hamilton]
A colony that runs independently
Meanwhile, Britain keeps shitting on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax us relentlessly
King George Then turns around, runs a spending spree
He ain't never gonna set his descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
ENTER ME!
[Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
(He says in parentheses)
[Hamilton]
Don't be shocked when your history book
Mentions me
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually you'll see my ascendancy
And I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy, and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot!

[Hamilton]
I'm not going to miss the chance
I'm not going to miss your chance!
Hey, I'm in their country:
Young, aggressive and hungry.
And I'm not going to miss your chance!
I learned at Queen's University,
I probably should not brag, but, damn, I'm awesome.
The trouble is that I have a mind, but he needs polishing.
I have to shout to be heard,
In each of my word has been knowledge.
I'm a diamond in the rough, shiny ember,
Trying to achieve your goal. My eloquence no doubt,
I'm only nineteen, but my views are much more Mature.
On the new York streets becomes cooler
I push aside every burden, every hindrance.
I have learned to cope.
I have no weapon to be used lightly.
I wander these streets, dying of hunger,
I intend to start a fire from this spark,
But, hell, dark,
So allow me to say my name letter by letter
I
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
A-L-E-K-S-A-N-D-R
[Hamilton]
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy, and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot
I'mma get scholarship to King's College
I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish
The problem is I got a lot of brains, but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard
With every word I drop knowledge
I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
Tryin' to reach my goal, my power of speech: unimpeachable
Only nineteen, but my mind is older
These New York City streets getting colder, I shoulder
EV'ry burden, EV'ry disadvantage
I have learned to manage.
I don't have a gun to brandish
I walk these streets famished
The plan is to fan this spark into a flame
But damn, it's getting dark,
So let me spell out my name
I am the -
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
A-L, E-X, AN, D-E-R

[Lawrence]

So I'm going to smash the pharaohs until they achieve freedom.
