school's being a bitch

enjoy

[Men:]

One, two, three, four

[Full Company:]

Five, six, seven, eight, nine...

[Burr/Hamilton/Laurens/Lee:]

It's the Ten Duel Commandments

[Full Company:]

It's the Ten Duel Commandments

Number one!

[Laurens:]

The challenge: demand satisfaction

If they apologize, no need for further action

Phillip: *Glares at Eacker*

Eacker: Hehe. *fiddles with fingers*

Theo: *whispering* SHIP SHIP SHIP

[Company:]

Number two!

[Laurens:]

If they don't, grab a friend, that's your second

[Hamilton:]

Your lieutenant when there's reckoning to be reckoned

Lafayette: WHOOP!

Hercules: AYYYYY!

*Hamilsquad moment*

Washington: How did they even manage to not get shot.

Phee: At least they didn't run straight into enemy territory.

Lee: *Spits out nothing* WHAT

Alec: *whispers* Area 51 raid

Phee: Gen Z Americans stormed a highly guarded military base in America. There was this elaborate plan and all, but only 80 people showed up, 'cause 99% of the people had school. We all were ready to die to find aliens.

Seabury: ALIENS

Lafayette: What are aliens?

Hercules: Beats me.

[Company:]

Number three!

[Lee:]

Have your seconds meet face to face

[Burr:]

Negotiate a peace...

[Hamilton:]

Or negotiate a time and place

Alex: Ay!

Jefferson: I wonder why Washington chose you for treasurer.

Alex: Hey!

Madison: I work with children

Washington: *eyes twitching* You have no idea.

[Burr:]

This is commonplace, 'specially 'tween recruits

[Company:]

Most disputes die, and no one shoots

Number four!

Eliza: I don't think that usually is what happens.

People who've been in a duel: Nope.

[Laurens:]

If they don't reach a peace, that's alright

Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site

Phillip and Eacker: *quiet*

Phillip: I'm sure we don't shoot each other.

Eacker: *nervous sweating* Yup!

[Hamilton:]

You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility

Theo: Maybe I can be a duel doctor!

[Burr:]

You have him turn around so he can have deniability

Angelica: That's good.

[Company:]

Five!

[Lee:]

Duel before the sun is in the sky

[Company:]

Pick a place to die where it's high and dry

Number six!

[Hamilton:]

Leave a note for your next of kin

Tell 'em where you been. Pray that hell or heaven lets you in

Peggy: But what if hell or heaven doesn't exist?

[Company:]

Seven!

[Lee:]

Confess your sins. Ready for the moment

Of adrenaline when you finally face your opponent

Seabury: No, I'm not ready.

[Company:]

Number eight!

[Laurens/Lee/Hamilton/Burr:]

Your last chance to negotiate

Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight...

Eliza: I hope they do

Laurens: *shifts uncomfortably*

[Burr:]

Alexander

[Hamilton:]

Aaron Burr, sir

[Burr:]

Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature?

[Hamilton:]

Sure

But your man has to answer for his words, Burr

[Burr:]

With his life? We both know that's absurd, sir

[Hamilton:]

Hang on, how many men died because Lee was inexperienced and ruinous?

Lee: ...

[Burr:]

Okay, so we're doin' this

Burr: Should have argued some more.

[Company:]

Number nine!

[Hamilton:]

Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher

Summon all the courage you require

Then count

[Men:]

One two three four

[Full Company:]

Five six seven eight nine

[Hamilton/Burr:]

Number

[Company:]

Ten paces!

[Hamilton/Burr:]

Fire!

Peggy: WHO GOT SHOT?

Alec: FIND OUT IN THE NEXT SONG!
