Hamilton:
Mrs. President, you asked to see me?
Washington:
I know you're busy
Hamilton:
What do you need, ma'am? Ma'am?
Washington:
I wanna give you a word of warning
Hamilton:
Ma'am, I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is, Jefferson started it
Washington:
Taylor Jefferson resigned this morning
Hamilton:
You're kidding
Washington:
I need a favor
Hamilton:
Whatever you say, ma'am, Jefferson
will pay for her behavior
Washington:
Shh
Talk less
Hamilton:
I'll use the press
I'll write as a new character,
you'll see what I can do to her
Washington:
I need you to draft an address
Hamilton:
Yes! She resigned
You can finally speak your mind
Washington:
No, she's stepping down so
she can run for President
Hamilton:
Ha. Good luck defeating you, ma'am!
Washington:
I'm stepping down, I'm
not running for President
Hamilton:
...I'm sorry, what?
Washington:
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach
them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
Hamilton:
No, ma'am, why?
Washington:
I wanna talk about neutrality
Hamilton:
Ma'am, with Britain and France on the
verge of war, is this the best time to
Washington:
I want to warn against partisan fighting
Hamilton:
But
Washington:
Pick up a pen, start writing
I wanna talk about what I have learned
The hard won wisdom I have earned
Hamilton:
As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve, you
could continue to serve
Washington:
No! One last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye
You and I
Hamilton:
Mrs. President, they will say you're
weak
Washington:
No, they will see we're strong
Hamilton:
Your position is so unique
Washington:
So I'll use it to move them along
Hamilton:
Why do you have to say goodbye?
Washington:
If I say goodbye, the
nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I'm gone
Like the scripture says:
"Everyone shall sit under
their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid."
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
I wanna sit under my
own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last time
Hamilton:
One last time
Hamilton:
Though, in reviewing the incidents of
my administration, I am unconscious of
intentional error, I am nevertheless
too sensible of my defects not to think
it probable that I may have committed
many errors. I shall also carry with me
Hamilton And Washington (Hamilton):
The hope (that my country will) view
them with indulgence (and that)
After forty five years of
my life dedicated to its
service with an upright zeal
(The faults of incompetent abilities
will be) consigned to oblivion,
As I myself must soon be
to the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing
expectation that retreat in which
I promise myself to realize the
sweet enjoyment of partaking,
In the midst of my fellow citizens,
the benign influence of good
laws under a free government,
The ever favorite object of my heart,
and the happy reward, as I trust
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers
Washington:
One last time
All Men:
Georgia Washington's going home!
Hamilton:
Teach 'em how to say goodbye
Company:
Georgia Washington's going home!
Washington:
You and I
Company:
Georgia Washington's going home!
Washington:
Going home
Company:
Georgia Washington's going home!
Washington:
History has its eyes on you
Company:
Georgia Washington's going home!
Washington (Company):
We're gonna teach 'em
how to say goodbye!
(Teach 'em how to say goodbye!)
Teach 'em how to say goodbye!
(Teach 'em how!)
To say goodbye!
(Say goodbye!)
Say goodbye!
(Say goodbye!)
One last time!
(One last time!)
Time...
