Stay Alive (Reprise)

[FEMALE COMPANY]

Stay alive... Stay alive...

[HAMILTON]

Where is my son?!

[DOCTOR]

Mr Hamilton, come in. They brought him in half an hour ago. He lost a lot of blood on the way ove--

[HAMILTON]

Is he alive?!

[DOCTOR]

Yes, but you have to understand. The bullet entered just above his hip, and lodged in his right arm.

[HAMILTON]

Can I see him, please?

[DOCTOR]

I'm doing everything I can, but the wound was already infected when he arrived.

[HAMILTON]

Philip!

[PHILIP]

Pa... I did exactly as you said, pop. I held my head up high...

[HAMILTON]

I know, I know. Shh!

[PHILIP]

High...

[HAMILTON]

I know, I know. Shh! I know, you did everything just right.

[PHILIP]

Even before we got to ten.

[HAMILTON]

Shh!

[PHILIP]

I was aiming for the sky.

[HAMILTON]

I know.

[PHILIP]

I was aiming for the sky!

[HAMILTON]

I know, save your strength and stay alive!

[ELIZA]

Liii-iiive!

[HAMILTON]

Eliza!

[ELIZA]

Is he breathing? Is he going to survive this?! Who did this? Alexander, did you know?!

[PHILIP]

Mom, I'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me.

[ELIZA]

My son!

[PHILIP]

We played piano.

[ELIZA]

I taught you piano.

[PHILIP]

You would put your hands on mine.

[ELIZA]

You changed the melody every time.

[PHILIP]

I would always change the line.

[ELIZA]

Shh. I know, I know.

[PHILIP]

I would always change the line!

[ELIZA]

I know, I know. Un, deux, trois quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf.

[PHILIP]

Un, deux, trois quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf.

[ELIZA]

Good. Un, deux, trois quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf.

[PHILIP]

Un, deux, trois...

[ELIZA]

Sept, huit, neuf. Sept, huit, neuf. Sept, huit.

*Philip dies, Eliza gives the audience a bloodcurdling scream*
