"That was...odd." Madison murmured. The others simply stared blankly at the screen as the next song started up.
Company:
1776.
New York City.
Hamilton:
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
"Oh!" Hamilton brightened up. "This must be when I met Burr!"
Burr:
That depends, who's asking?
Hamilton:
Oh well sure, sir.
I'm Alexander Hamilton,
I'm at your service, sir.
I have been looking for you.
Burr:
I'm getting nervous.
"He has every right to be." Jefferson whispered.
"Jefferson. Don't even." Madison whispered back.
Hamilton:
Sir, I heard your name at Princeton.
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort out of sorts a buddy of yours.
I may have punched him,
It's a blur, sir.
He handles the financials-
Burr:
You punched the bursar?
Washington's eyebrows raised. "Son? You-"
"I said I was sorry. Eventually." Hamilton said sheepishly.
Hamilton:
Yes, I wanted to do what you did,
graduate in two and join the revolution.
He looked at me like I was stupid,
I'm not stupid.
"Don't even ask Jefferson. Just don't even." Hamilton interrupted, cutting off Jefferson who had opened his mouth to speak.
So how'd you do it?
How'd you graduate so fast?
Burr:
It was my parent's dying wish before they passed.
"Oh."
"Sad."
'How tragic!"
"..."
Hamilton:
You're an orphan?
Of course, I'm an orphan!
God, I wish there was a war
then we could prove that we're worth more
than anyone bargained for.
Burr:
Can I buy you a drink?
Hamilton:
That would be nice.
Burr:
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice:
Talk less.
Hamilton:
What?
Burr:
Smile more.
Hamilton:
Heh.
Burr:
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for.
Hamilton:
You can't be serious.
Burr:
You wanna get ahead?
Hamilton:
Yes.
Burr:
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.
Laurens:
Ehh, y-yo, y-y-yo, what time is it?
Laurens and Mulligan:
Show time!
Burr:
Like I said.
Laurens:
Showtime, showtime, yo!
I'm John Laurens and the place to be
A two pints of Sam Adams but I'm working on three.
Those redcoats don't wanna with me
'Cuz I will prra-chicka-praa these guys til I'm free.
"What is...prra-chicka-praa?" Washington asked, bemused. Jefferson crinkled his nose before adding in.
"Perhaps a modern phrase?"
Madison nodded. "Yes, it must mean to shoot, or something of that ilk."
"It sounds like a bird. A large, highly lethal bird." Hamilton cut in.
LaFayette:
Ah oui, oui, mon ami, je m'appelle LaFayette.
The Lance-a-lot of the revolutionary set.
I came from afar just to say bonsior
tell the king casse toi
who is the best, c'est moi!
Mulligan:
I am Hercules Mulligan,
Up in it, lovin' it,*
yes I heard your mother say "come again?"
Laurens and LaFayette:
Ayyyy
Mulligan:
Lock up your daughters and horses
Of course, it's hard to have intercourse
over four sets of corsets.
"Crude." Muttered Madison.
"But true." Jefferson pointed out. Hamilton raised an eyebrow.
"You tried to have intercourse with four women and a horse?" Jefferson didn't answer. He simply sunk back into the couch cushions.
Laurens:
No more sex,
pour me another brew son.
Let's raise a couple more to the revolution!
Well if it aint the prodigy of Princeton college.
Mulligan:
Aaron Burr.
Laurens:
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge.
Burr:
Good Luck with that,
you're takin' a stand.
You spit, Imma sit,
We'll see where we land.
Laurens:
Well the revolution's imminent,
what are you stallin' for?
Hamilton:
If you stand for nothing, Burr,
what'll you fall for?
"Quite smart of you." Washington nodded.
Laurens:
Oooh who are you?
Mulligan:
Who are you?
LaFayette:
Who are you?
Laurens, Mulligan, and LaFayette:
Who? Who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
"Everything." Hamilton announced. "I can do it."
"You mean you can try."
Heeyyyyy! So, I had a few questions! This does NOT take place in the Hamilton universe, but in the real one. 1784, one year after the ending of the Revolutionary War. Thanks for all of the excellent feedback!
