Schuyler Defeated

[PHILIP]

Look! Grandpa's in the paper! "War hero Philip Schuyler loses Senate seat to young upstart, Aaron Burr?!" Grandpa just lost his seat in the Senate...

[ELIZA]

Sometimes, that's how it goes.

[PHILIP]

Daddy's gonna find out any minute!

[ELIZA]

I'm sure he already knows.

[PHILIP]

Further down.

[ELIZA]

Further down.

[PHILIP]

Let's meet the newest senator from New York...

[ELIZA]

New York.

[PHILIP/ELIZA]

Our senator...

[HAMILTON]

Burr? Since when are you a Democratic Republican?

[BURR]

Since being one put me on the up and up again!

[HAMILTON]

No one knows who you are, or what you do.

[BURR]

They don't need to know me, they don't like you!

[HAMILTON]

Excuse me?!

[BURR]

Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great. You'll always be adored by the things you create! But, upstate...

[HAMILTON]

Wait...

[BURR]

People think you're crooked. The Schuyler seat was up for grabs, so I took it!

[HAMILTON]

I've always considered you a friend...

[BURR]

I don't see why that has to end.

[HAMILTON]

You changed parties to run against my father in law!

[BURR]

I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw. I swear, your pride will be the death of us all! Beware, it goeth before the fall!
