Take a Break |
Sept huit neuf |
(Sept huit neuf) |
Sept huit neuf |
(Sept huit neuf) |
One two three four five six seven eight nine! |
My dearest, Angelica |
«Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow |
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day» |
I trust you’ll understand the reference to |
Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play |
They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly |
I’m a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain |
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson’s Macduff |
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane |
And there you are, an ocean away |
Do you have to live an ocean away? |
Thoughts of you subside |
Then I get another letter |
And I cannot put the notion away… |
Take a break |
I am on my way |
There’s a little surprise before supper |
And it cannot wait |
I’ll be there in just a minute, save my plate |
Alexander |
Okay, okay |
Your son is nine years old today |
He has something he’d like to say |
He’s been practicing all day |
Philip, take it away |
Daddy, daddy, look |
My name is Philip |
I am a poet |
I wrote this poem just to show it |
And I just turned nine |
You can write rhymes |
But you can’t write mine |
(What!) |
I practice French |
And play piano with my mother |
(Uh-huh!) |
I have a sister, but I want a little brother |
(Okay!) |
My daddy’s trying to start America’s bank |
Un deux trois quatre cinq! |
(Bravo!) |
Take a break |
Hey, our kid is pretty great |
Run away with us for the summer |
Let’s go upstate |
Eliza, I’ve got so much on my plate |
We can all go stay with my father |
There’s a lake I know… |
I know |
In a nearby park |
I’d love to go |
You and I can go when the night gets dark… |
I will try to get away |
My dearest Alexander |
You must get through to Jefferson |
Sit down with him and compromise |
Don’t stop 'til you agree |
Your fav’rite older sister |
Angelica, reminds you |
There’s someone in your corner all the way across the sea |
In a letter I received from you two weeks ago |
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase |
It changed the meaning. |
Did you intend this? |
One stroke and you’ve consumed my waking days |
It says: |
«My dearest Angelica» |
With a comma after «dearest» |
You’ve written |
«My dearest, Angelica.» |
Anyway, all this to say |
I’m coming home this summer |
At my sister’s invitation |
I’ll be there with your fam’ly |
If you make your way upstate |
I know you’re very busy |
I know your work’s important |
But I’m crossing the ocean and I just can’t wait |
You won’t be an ocean away |
You will only be a moment away… |
Alexander, come downstairs |
Angelica’s arriving today! |
Angelica! |
Eliza! |
The Schuyler sisters! |
Alexander |
Hi |
It’s good to see your face |
Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family |
Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn’t have a real job anyway |
…you're not joining us? |
Wait |
I’m afraid I cannot join you upstate |
Alexander, I came all this way |
She came all this way |
All this way |
Take a break |
You know I have to get my plan through Congress |
Run away with us for the summer |
Let’s go upstate |
I lose my job if we don’t get this plan through Congress |
We can all go stay with our father |
There’s a lake I know |
(I know I’ll miss your face) |
In a nearby park |
(Screw your courage to the sticking place) |
You and I can go |
(Eliza's right) |
Take a break and get away (Take a break) |
(Run away with us for the summer) |
Let’s go upstate (Let's go upstate) |
Where we can stay |
(We can all go stay with our father) |
(If you take your time) |
Look around, look around |
(You will make your mark) |
At how lucky we are to be alive right now |
(Close your eyes and dream) |
We can go |
When the night gets dark (When the night gets dark) |
Take a break (Take a break) |
I have to get my plan through Congress |
I can’t stop until I get this plan through Congress |
