Satisfied (Lams)Lin-Manuel Miranda

[MULLIGAN]
Alright, alright. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Now everyone give it up for the best man!
John Laurens!

( LAURENS AND MEN )
A toast to the groom!
To the groom!
To the groom!
To the groom!

To the bride!
To the bride!

[LAURENS, ALL MEN, ALEXANDER AND WOMEN]

By your side!
By your side!
To your union
To the union! To the revolution!
And the moments you will share!
You will share!
You will share!

[LAURENS, HAMILTON AND MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]
May you always... (Always)
Be satisfied (Rewind)

[Recorded Samples]
Rewind, Rewind
Helpless, sky's, sky's
Drownin' in em
Drownin', rewind

I remember that night, I just might (rewind)
I remember that night, I just might (rewind)
I remember that night, I remember that—

[LAURENS]
I remember that night, I just might
Regret that night for the rest of my days

I remember those rich gals
Tripping over themselves to get our gaze

I remember that dreamlike candlelight
Like a clock that won't stop it's pace

But Alexander, I’ll never forget the first
Time I saw your face

I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said “Hi,” I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame, ev’ry part aflame

[FULL COMPANY]
This is not a game…

[HAMILTON]
You strike me as a man who has never been satisfied

[LAURENS)
I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. Look at yourself

[HAMILTON]
You’re like me. I’m never satisfied

[LAURENS]
Is that right?

[HAMILTON]
I have never been satisfied

[LAURENS]
My name is John Laurens

[HAMILTON]
Alexander Hamilton

[LAURENS]
Where are you from?

[HAMILTON]
Unimportant. There’s a million things I haven’t done but
Just you wait, just you wait…

[LAURENS]
So so so—
So this is what it feels like to match wits
With someone at your level! What the hell is the catch? It’s
The feeling of freedom, of seein’ the light
It’s Ben Franklin with a key and a kite! You see it, right?
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
Ev’rything we said in total agreement, it’s
A dream and it’s a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture, it’s a bit of a stance. He’s a
Bit of a flirt, but I’m ‘a give it a chance
I asked about his home land, did you see his answer?
His hands started fidgeting, is his face going red?
He’s penniless, he’s flying by the seat of his pants

Handsome, boy, does he know it!
Peach fuzz, and he can’t even grow it!
I wanna take him far away from this place
Then I turn and see a Schuyler's face and she is…

[ELIZA]
Helpless…

[LAURENS]
And I know she is…

[ELIZA]
Helpless…

[LAURENS]
And her eyes are just…

[ELIZA]
Helpless…

[LAURENS]
And I realize

[LAURENS AND COMPANY]
Three fundamental truths at the exact same time…

[HAMILTON]
Where are you taking me?

[LAURENS]
I’m about to change your life

[HAMILTON]
Then by all means, lead the way

[COMPANY (EXCEPT LAURENS)]
Number one!

[ANGELICA]
I’m a guy in a world in which
My only job is to marry a wench
My father has no more sons so I’m the one
Who has to social climb for one
So I’m the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
This place is insidious
And Alexander is penniless
Ha! That doesn’t mean I want him any less

[ELIZA]
Elizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you

[HAMILTON]
Schuyler?

[LAURENS]
Indeed

[COMPANY]
Number two!

[LAURENS]
He’s after her cuz she's a Schuyler sister
That elevates his status, I’d
Have to be naïve to let that slide
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza
Now that’s his bride
Nice going, Laurens, he was right
You will never be satisfied

[ELIZA]
Thank you for all your service

[HAMILTON]
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it

[LAURENS]
See ya later Alex

[COMPANY]
Number three!

[LAURENS]
I know Alexander like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell him that I love him he might leave her behind
He’d be mine
I might turn a blind eye

[LAURENS AND COMPANY]
But I'd be hurting

[LAURENS]
But when I fantasize at night
It’s Alexander’s eyes
As I romanticize what might
Have been if I hadn’t sized him
Up so quickly
At least a Schuyler's his wife;
At least I keep his eyes in my life…

[LAURENS]
He will never be satisfied
I will never be be alright inside

[LAURENS, ALL MEN (EXCEPT HAMILTON), ALL WOMEN (EXCEPT ELIZA)]
To the groom!
To the groom!
To the groom!
To the groom!
To the bride!
To the bride!
To the bride!
To the bride!

[LAURENS, ALL MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]
From your best friend!
John!
John!
John!
Who is always by your side
By your side!
By your side!
To your union
To the union! To the revolution!
And the moments you will share!
You will share!
You will share!

[LAURENS, HAMILTON AND MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]
May you always... (Always)
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
Be satisfied

[LAURENS, MEN, WOMEN]
And I know
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
He'll be happy with his bride
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
And I know
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
Be satisfied
He will never be satisfied
I will never be alright inside
