[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 [HAMILTON] Sir… I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It’s a blur, sir. He handles the financials? [BURR] You punched the bursar [HAMILTON] Yes! I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid, I’m not stupid So how’d you do it? How’d you graduate so fast? [BURR] It was my parents’ dying wish before they passed [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?
