Chapter 41: It's Quiet Uptown
[ANGELICA]
There are moments that the words don't reach. There is suffering too terrible to name. You hold your child as tight as you can, and push away the unimaginable. The moments when you're in so deep. It feels easier to just swim down.
[ANGELICA/COMPANY]
The Hamiltons move uptown, and learn to live with the unimaginable.
[HAMILTON]
I spend hours in the garden. I walk alone to the store. And it's quiet uptown. I never liked the quiet before. I take the children to church on Sunday, the sign of the cross at the door. And I pray. That never used to happen before.
[ANGELICA/FEMALE COMPANY]
If you see him in the street, walking by himself, talking to himself, have pity.
[HAMILTON]
Philip, you would like it uptown. It's quiet uptown.
[ANGELICA/FEMALE COMPANY]
He is working through the unimaginable.
[MALE COMPANY]
His hair had gone grey. He passes every day. They say he walks the length of the city.
[HAMILTON]
And knock me out, I fall apart.
[COMPANY]
Can you imagine?
[HAMILTON]
Look at where we are. Look at where we started. I know I don't deserve you, Eliza. But hear me out, that would be enough. If I could spare his life, if I could trade his life for mine, he'd be standing here right now and you would smile! And that would be enough! I don't pretend to know the challenges we're facing. I know there's no replacing what we've lost, and you need time. But I'm not afraid. I know who I married. Just let me stay here by your side. That would be enough.
[COMPANY]
If you see him in the street, walking by her side, talking by her side, have pity.
[HAMILTON]
Eliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown.
[COMPANY]
He is trying to do the unimaginable. See them waking in the park, long after dark, taking in the sights of the city.
[HAMILTON]
Look around, look around. Eliza!
[COMPANY]
They are trying to do the unimaginable.
[ANGELICA]
There are moments that the words don't reach. There is a grace too powerful to name. We push away what we can never understand. We push away the unimaginable. They are standing in the garden, Alexander by Eliza's side. She takes his hand. It's quiet uptown.
[COMPANY]
Forgiveness. Can you imagine? Forgiveness. Can you imagine? If you see them in the street, walking by her side, talking by her side, have pity...
They are going through the unimaginable...
