BURR

There’s nothing rich folks love more

than going downtown and slummin’ it with

the poor.

They pull up in their carriages and gawk

at the students in the common

Just to watch them talk.

Take Philip Schuyler: the man is loaded.

Uh-oh, but little does he know that

his daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza

sneak into the city just to watch all the

guys at—

BURR

Wooh! There’s nothin’ like summer in the city.

Someone in a rush next to someone lookin’

pretty.

Excuse me, miss, I know it’s not funny

But your perfume smells like your daddy’s

got money.

Why you slummin’ in the city in your fancy heels

You searchin for an urchin who can give you

ideals?

ANGELICA

Burr, you disgust me.

BURR

Ah, so you’ve discussed me.

I’m a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!

ANGELICA

I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas

Paine.

So men say that I’m intense or I’m insane.

You want a revolution? I want a revelation

So listen to my declaration:

ELIZA/ANGELICA/PEGGY

“We hold these truths to be self-evident

That all men are created equal”

And when I meet Thomas Jefferson,
