"Non-stop" ("Неостановим")— двадцать третья песня первого акта бродвейского мюзикла «Гамильтон». Это двадцать третья песня во всём мюзикле.
После того, как Аарон Бёрр и Александр Гамильтон заканчивают учёбу в Нью-Йорке, Бёрр и Гамильтон участвуют в судебном разбирательстве по делу об убийстве, защищая Леви Уикса. Затем Гамильтона приглашают в качестве младшего делегата от Нью-Йорка на Конституционный (Филадельфийский) конвент, после которого Александр начинает разрабатывать Новую Конституцию США. Зная, что Аарон Бёрр является опытным адвокатом, Гамильтон просит у него помощи в написании федералистических документов, защищающих Конституцию. После отказа Бёрра Гамильтон объединяет усилия с Джеймсом Мэдисоном и Джоном Джеем и издаёт сборник статей под заглавием "Федералист".
Анжелика сообщает Гамильтону, что она переезжает в Лондон, где она будет жить со своим мужем и просит его не забывать писать. Элайза умоляет Гамильтона остаться с ней, но она и Анжелика соглашаются, что он никогда не будет доволен.
Хотя Вашингтон, Джон Лоуренс, Маркиз де Лафайетт и Геркулес Маллиган напоминают Гамильтону, что история не спускает с него глаз, он отказывается останавливаться и продолжает свою работу.
Слова[]
After the war I went back to New York
[HAMILTON]
A-After the war I went back to New York
[BURR]
I finished up my studies and I practiced law
[HAMILTON]
I practiced law, Burr worked next door
[BURR]
Even though we started at the very same time
Alexander Hamilton began to climb
How to account for his rise to the top?
Man... the man is
[BURR & ENSEMBLE]
Non-stop!
[HAMILTON]
Gentlemen of the jury, I’m curious, bear with me
Are you aware that we’re making history?
This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation
The liberty behind
Deliberation—
[ENSEMBLE]
Non-stop!
[HAMILTON]
I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
With my assistant counsel—
[BURR]
Co-counsel
Hamilton, sit down
Our client Levi Weeks is innocent, call your first witness
That’s all you had to say
[HAMILTON]
Okay...
One more thing—
[BURR]
Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?
Soon that attitude may be your doom
[ENSEMBLE]
Awwww!
[BURR] | [ENSEMBLE] |
[HAMILTON]
Corruption’s such an old song that we can sing along in harmony
And nowhere is it stronger than in Albany
This colony’s economy’s increasingly stalling and
Honestly, that’s why public service | [BURR & ENSEMBLE] |
[HAMILTON]
I practiced the law, I practically perfected it
I’ve seen injustice in the world and I’ve corrected it
Now for a strong central democracy
If not, then I’ll be Socrates
Throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities
[BURR]
Hamilton, at the Constitutional Convention
[HAMILTON]
I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention!
[BURR]
There as a New York junior delegate
[HAMILTON]
Now what I’m going to say may sound indelicate...
[COMPANY]
Awwww!
[BURR] | [COMPANY] |
[BURR]
Talks for six hours! The convention is listless!
[ENSEMBLE MAN]
Bright young man...
[ANOTHER ENSEMBLE MAN]
Yo, who the f is this?
[BURR] | [COMPANY] |
[BURR & COMPANY]
Every day you fight like it's going out of style
Do what you do
[BURR]
Alexander?
[HAMILTON]
Aaron Burr, sir
[BURR]
Why, it's the middle of the night
[HAMILTON]
Can we confer, sir?
[BURR]
Is this a legal matter?
[HAMILTON]
Yes, and it's important to me
[BURR]
What do you need?
[HAMILTON]
Burr, you're a better lawyer than me
[BURR]
Okay?
[HAMILTON]
I know I talk too much, I'm abrasive
You're incredible in court
You're succinct, persuasive
My client needs a strong defense
You're the solution
[BURR]
Who's your client?
[HAMILTON]
The new U.S. Constitution?
[BURR]
No
[HAMILTON]
Hear me out
[BURR]
No way!
[HAMILTON]
A series of essays, anonymously published
Defending the document to the public
[BURR]
No one will read it
[HAMILTON]
I disagree
[BURR]
And if it fails?
[HAMILTON]
Burr, that's why we need it
[BURR]
The constitution's a mess
[HAMILTON]
So it needs amendments
[BURR]
It's full of contradictions
[HAMILTON]
So is independence
We have to start somewhere
[BURR]
No
No way
[HAMILTON]
You're making a mistake
[BURR]
Goodnight
[HAMILTON]
Hey
What are you waiting for?
What do you stall for?
[BURR]
What?
[HAMILTON]
We won the war, what was it all for?
Do you support this constitution?
[BURR]
Of course
[HAMILTON]
Then defend it.
[BURR]
And what if you're backing the wrong horse?
[HAMILTON]
Burr, we studied, and we fought, and we killed
For the notion of a nation we now get to build
For once in your life, take a stand with pride
I don't understand why you stand to the side
[BURR] | [ENSEMBLE] |
[ANGELICA]
I am sailing off to London
I am accompanied by someone who always pays
I have found a wealthy husband
Who will keep me in comfort for all my days
He is not a lot of fun but there is no one
Who will match you for turn of phrase
My Alexander...
[HAMILTON]
Angelica...
[ANGELICA]
Don't forget to write
[ELIZA]
Look at where we are
Look at where we started
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
Just stay alive, that would be enough
And if your wife could share a fraction of your time
If I could grant you peace of mind
Would that be enough?
[BURR]
Alexander joins forces with James Madison and John Jay
To write a series of essays defending the new United
States Constitution, entitled The Federalist Papers.
The plan was to write a total of 25 essays, the work
Divided evenly among the three men. In the end, they wrote
eighty-five essays in the span of six months.
John Jay got sick after writing five
James Madison wrote twenty-nine.
Hamilton wrote the other fifty-one
[BURR] | [ALL WOMEN] |
[FULL COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON)]
How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive?
How do you write like you need it to survive?
How do you write every second you're alive
Every second you're alive, every second you're alive?
[WASHINGTON]
They are asking me to lead
I'm doing the best I can
To get the people that I need
I'm asking you to be my right hand man
[HAMILTON]
Treasury or State?
[WASHINGTON]
I know it's a lot to ask
[HAMILTON]
Treasury or State?
[WASHINGTON]
To leave behind the world you know
[HAMILTON]
Sir, do you want me to run the Treasury or State department?
[WASHINGTON]
Treasury
[HAMILTON]
Let's go
[ELIZA]
Alexander
[HAMILTON]
I have to leave
[ELIZA]
Alexander...
[HAMILTON]
Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now
[ELIZA]
Helpless...
[HAMILTON]
They are asking me to lead
[ELIZA]
Look around... isn't this enough?
[ANGELICA] | [ELIZA] | [WASHINGTON] | [BURR] | [ENSEMBLE] |
[COMPANY]
History has its eyes on you
[HAMILTON] | [MEN] |
[HAMILTON]
And I am not throwing away my shot!
