[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*
