George Washington:
Hamilton, how come no one can get you on their staff? Alexander Hamilton:
Sir... George Washington:
Don't get me wrong. You're a young man of great renown/I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown/Nathaniel Greene and Henry Knox wanted to hire you. Alexander Hamilton:
Yeah, to be their secretary. I don't think so. George Washington:
Now, why are you upset? Alexander Hamilton:
I'm not. George Washington:
It's all right, you wanna fight/You've got a hunger/I was just like you when I was younger/Head full of fantasies of dying like a martyr? Alexander Hamilton:
Yes. George Washington:
Dying is easy, young man/Living is harder
