The Schuyler Sisters [Spanish translation]
BURR
There’s nothing rich folks love more
than going downtown and slummin’ it with the poor.
They pull up in their carriages and gawk
at the students in the common
Just to watch them talk.
Take Philip Schuyler: the man is loaded.
Uh-oh, but little does he know that
his daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at—
COMPANY

PEGGY

But—look around, look around, the
revolution’s happening in New York.

BURR
Wooh! There’s nothin’ like summer in the city.
Someone in a rush next to someone lookin’ pretty.
Excuse me, miss, I know it’s not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy’s got money.
Why you slummin’ in the city in your fancy heels
You searchin for an urchin who can give you ideals?
ANGELICA
Burr, you disgust me.
BURR
Ah, so you’ve discussed me.
I’m a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!
ANGELICA
I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine.
So men say that I’m intense or I’m insane.
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:
ELIZA/ANGELICA/PEGGY
“We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal”
ANGELICA
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson,
I’m ‘a compel him to include women in the sequel!

Lucky we are to be alive right now!
