[WASHINGTON]
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known, when I was young and dreamed of glory. You have no control...
[WASHINGTON/COMPANY]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[BURR]
President Jefferson.
[JEFFERSON]
I give him this, his financial system was a work of genius. I couldn't undo it if I tried. And, I've tried.
[WASHINGTON/COMPANY]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[BURR]
President Madison.
[MADISON]
He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity. I hate to admit it, but he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us!
[WASHINGTON/COMPANY]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[ANGELICA]
Every other Founding Father's story gets told. Every other Founding Father gets to grow old!
[BURR]
But when you're gone, who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame?
[BURR/MALE COMPANY]
Who tells your story?
Who tells your story?
[ANGELICA/FEMALE COMPANY]
Who tells your story?
Your story?
[FEMALE COMPANY]
Eliza!
[ELIZA]
I put myself back in the narrative.
[COMPANY]
Eliza!
[ELIZA]
I stop wasting time on tears, I live another fifty years, it's not enough!
[COMPANY]
Eliza!
[ELIZA]
I interviewed every soldier who fought by your side.
[LAURENS/LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN]
She tells our story.
[ELIZA]
I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings. You really do write like you're running out of--
[ELIZA/COMPANY]
Time!
[ELIZA]
I rely on--
[ELIZA/ANGELICA]
Angelica!
[ELIZA]
While she's alive--
[ELIZA/ANGELICA]
We tell your story.
[ELIZA]
She is buried in Trinity Church--
[ELIZA/ANGELICA]
Near you.
[ELIZA]
When I needed her most, she was right on--
[COMPANY]
Time!
[ELIZA]
But I'm still not through. I ask myself, "What would you do if you had more--
[COMPANY]
"Time?"
[ELIZA]
The Lord and his kindness, he gives me you always wanted, he gives me more--
[COMPANY]
Time!
[ELIZA]
I raised funds in D.C. for the Washington monument!
[WASHINGTON]
She tells my story!
[ELIZA]
I speak out against slavery, you could've done so much more if you only had--
[COMPANY]
Time!
[ELIZA]
And when my time is up, have I done enough? Will they tell our story?
[COMPANY]
Will they tell your story?
[ELIZA]
Oh, can I show you what I'm proudest of?
[COMPANY]
The orphanage.
[ELIZA]
I established the first private orphanage in New York City.
[COMPANY]
The orphanage!
[ELIZA]
I helped raise hundreds of children. I get to see them growing up.
[COMPANY]
The orphanage!
[ELIZA]
In their eyes I see you, Alexander. I see you every--
[ELIZA/COMPANY]
Time...
[ELIZA]
And when my time is up? Have I done enough? Will they tell my story?
[COMPANY]
Will they tell your story?
[ELIZA]
Oh, I can't wait to see you again. It's only a matter of--
[COMPANY]
Time...
Will they tell your story?
Time...
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
Time...
Will they tell your story?
Time...
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
