The Story of Tonight
John Laurens: I found myself standing tall and proud in front of Burr and asking him what he stalled for I might have imagined many outcomes to that situation, but I never imagined meeting the person who would become my best friend. I had seen him having a beer with Burr, so I assumed that he was just like Burr, and man surprised me when he asked Burr what he would fall for if he stood for nothing. I immediately asked who he was and so did my friends Mulligan and Lafayette, but they did it in a threatening way. I felt bad for him who got so scared when he was clearly on our side but as scared as he might have been he stood tall and declared that he was Alexander Hamilton and to just wait that he was going to be important.
Alexander Hamilton: I was having a beer with Burr and then is when I first see the man that will become my best friend. He proclaimed his name loudly with his friends, which was how I learned his name, John Laurens, I continued to watch him as inconspicuously as I was capable of doing. He came up to Burr and asked what he stalled for and I immediately knew that the man was someone I could get along with. I then proceeded to ask Burr what he would fall for if he stood for nothing. Laurens and his friends asked me who I was and what I was going to do. I tried to remain confident but I don't know if I succeeded.
Both:[singing] And that's the story of that night.
