Satisfied
[LAURENS]
Alright, alright! That's what I'm talking about! Everyone give it up for the maid of honour, Angelica Schuyler!
[ANGELICA]
A toast to the groom!
[COMPANY]
To the groom, to the groom, to the groom.
[ANGELICA]
To the bride!
[COMPANY]
To the bride, to the bride, to the briiiiiide.
[ANGELICA]
From your sister.
[COMPANY]
Angelica, Angelica, Angelica.
[ANGELICA]
Who is always by your side!
[COMPANY]
By your side, by your side.
[ANGELICA]
To the union.
[COMPANY]
To the union, to the revolution!
[ANGELICA]
And the hope that you provide.
[COMPANY]
You provide, you provide.
[ANGELICA]
May you always.
[COMPANY]
Always.
[ANGELICA]
Be satisfied!
[COMPANY/BACKGROUND RECORDINGS]
Rewind, rewind.
I remember that night, I just might, I remember that night, I just might
I remember that night, I remember that.
[ANGELICA]
I remember that night, I might just regret that night for the rest of my days.
[COMPANY]
Hey!
[ANGELICA]
I remember those soldier boys trippin' over themselves just to win our praise.
[COMPANY]
Hey!
[ANGELICA]
I remember that dreamlike candlelight, like a dream that you can't quite place.
But, Alexander, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face! I will never be the same, intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame. And when you said, "Hi!" I forgot my dang name. Set my heart aflame, every part aflame.
[COMPANY]
This is not a game!
[HAMILTON]
"You strike me as a woman who's never been satisfied."
[ANGELICA]
"I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself."
[HAMILTON]
"You're like me, I'm never satisfied."
[ANGELICA]
"Is that right?"
[HAMILTON]
"I have never been satisfied."
[ANGELICA]
"My name is Angelica Schuyler."
[HAMILTON]
"Alexander Hamilton."
[ANGELICA]
"Where's your family from?"
[HAMILTON]
"Unimportant. There's a million things I haven't done, but just you wait, just you wait."
[ANGELICA]
So, so so. This is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level! What the hell is the catch! The feeling of freedom, of seeing the light. It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite, you see it right? The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes. Everything we said in total agreement. It's a dream and a bit of a dance. A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance. He's a bit of a flirt but imma give it a chance!
I asked about his family, did you see his answer? His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance? He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants. Handsome! Boy, does he know it! Peach fuzz and he can't even grow it. I wanna take him far away from this place. I turn to see Eliza's face and she is...
[ELIZA]
Helpless...
[ANGELICA]
And I know she is...
[ELIZA]
Helpless...
[ANGELICA]
And her eyes are just...
[ELIZA]
Helpless...
[ANGELICA]
And I realise...
[ANGELICA/COMPANY]
Three fundamental truths at the exact same time!
[HAMILTON]
"Where are you taking me?"
[ANGELICA]
"I'm about to change your life."
[HAMILTON]
"Then, by all means, lead the way."
[COMPANY]
Number one!
[ANGELICA]
I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich. My father has no sons, so I'm the one who has to social climb for one. I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious. And Alexander's penniless. Hah! That doesn't mean I love him any less.
[ELIZA]
"Elizabeth Schuyler. It's a pleasure to meet you."
[HAMILTON]
"Schuyler?"
[ANGELICA]
"My sister."
[COMPANY]
Number two!
[ANGELICA]
He's after me cuz I'm a Schuyler sister, that elevates his status. I'd have to be naive to set that aside. Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza, now that's his bride! Nice going, Angelica, he was right. He will never be satisfied.
[ELIZa]
"Thank you for all your service!"
[HAMILTON]
"If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it."
[ANGELICA]
"I'll leave you to it!"
[COMPANY]
Number three!
[ANGELICA]
I know my sister like I know my own mind, you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind. If I tell her that I love him, she'd be silently resigned, he'd be mine. She would say, "I'm fine." She'd be lying!
But when I fantasize at night, it's Alexander's eyes. As I romanticize what might've been if I hadn't sized him up so quickly... At least my dear Eliza's his wife... At least I keep his eyes in my life....
To the groom!
[COMPANY]
To the groom, to the groom, to the groom.
[ANGELICA]
To the bride!
[COMPANY]
To the bride, to the bride, to the briiiiiide.
[ANGELICA]
From your sister.
[COMPANY]
Angelica, Angelica, Angelica.
[ANGELICA]
Who is always by your side!
[COMPANY]
By your side, by your side.
[ANGELICA]
To the union.
[COMPANY]
To the union, to the revolution!
[ANGELICA]
And the hope that you provide.
[COMPANY]
You provide, you provide.
[ANGELICA]
May you always.
[COMPANY]
Always.
[ANGELICA]
Be satisfied! And I know... She'll be happy as his bride... And I know... He will never be satisfied, I will never be satisfied...
