WASHINGTON
Let me tell you what I wish I’d known
when I was young and dreamed of glory.
You have no control:

WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Who lives,
who dies,
who tells your story?

BURR
President Jefferson:

JEFFERSON
I’ll give him this: his financial system is a
work of genius. I couldn’t undo it if I tried.
And I tried.

WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Who lives,
who dies,
who tells your story?

BURR
President Madison:

MADISON
He took our country from bankruptcy to
prosperity. I hate to admit it, but he doesn’t
get enough credit for all the credit he gave us.

WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Who lives,
who dies,
who tells your story?

ANGELICA
Every other founding father story gets told.
Every other founding father gets to grow old.

BURR
And when you’re gone, who remembers your name?
Who keeps your flame?

BURR AND MEN
Who tells your story?

Who tells your story?

ANGELICA AND WOMEN
Who tells your story?
Your story?

WOMEN
Eliza.

ELIZA
I put myself back in the narrative.

WOMEN
Eliza.

ELIZA
I stop wasting time on tears.
I live another fifty years.
It’s not enough.

FULL COMPANY
Eliza.

ELIZA
I interview every soldier who fought by your side.

MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS
She tells our story.

ELIZA
I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings.
You really do write like you’re running out of—

ELIZA AND COMPANY
Time.

ELIZA
I rely on—

ELIZA AND ANGELICA
Angelica.

ELIZA
While she’s alive—

ELIZA AND ANGELICA
We tell your story.

ELIZA
She is buried in Trinity Church,

ELIZA AND ANGELICA
Near you.

ELIZA
When I needed her most, she was right on—

ELIZA AND COMPANY
Time.

ELIZA
And I’m still not through.
I ask myself, “What would you do if you had more—”

ELIZA AND COMPANY
Time.

ELIZA
The Lord, in his kindness,
He gives me what you always wanted.
He gives me more—

ELIZA AND COMPANY
Time.

ELIZA
I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument.

WASHINGTON
She tells my story.

ELIZA
I speak out against slavery.
You could have done so much more if you only had—

ELIZA AND COMPANY
Time.

ELIZA
And when my time is up, have I done enough?

ELIZA
Will they tell our story?
COMPANY
Will they tell your story?

ELIZA
Oh. Can I show you what I’m proudest of?

COMPANY
The orphanage.

ELIZA
I establish the first private orphanage in New York City.

COMPANY
The orphanage.

ELIZA
I help to raise hundreds of children.
I get to see them growing up.

COMPANY
The orphanage.

ELIZA
In their eyes I see you, Alexander.
I see you every—

ELIZA AND COMPANY
Time.

ELIZA
And when my time is up,
Have I done enough?
Will they tell my story?

COMPANY
Will they tell your story?

ELIZA
Oh, I can’t wait to see you again.
It’s only a matter of—

ELIZA AND COMPANY
Time.

COMPANY
Will they tell your story?

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

Will they tell your story?

Who lives, who dies—

COMPANY
Time…

Time…

Time...

FULL COMPANY
Who tells your story?
