Alexander Hamilton: Mr. President, they will say you’re weak.

George Washington: No, they will see we’re strong.

Alexander Hamilton: Your position is so unique.

George Washington: So I’ll use it to move them along.

Alexander Hamilton: Why do you have to say goodbye?

George Washington: If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on. It outlives me when I’m gone. Like the scripture says: “Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one shall make them afraid.” They’ll be safe in the nation we’ve made. I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree. A moment alone in the shade, at home in this nation we’ve made. One last time.

From Hamilton (An American Musical – the movie version) | Produced by Disney+

Part of the song: “One Last Time”
