Ten Duel Commandments

[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 CommandmentsNumber one!

[LAURENS]The challenge: demand satisfactionIf they apologize, no need for further action

[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

[COMPANY]Number three!

[LEE]Have your seconds meet face to face

[BURR]Negotiate a peace…

[HAMILTON]Or negotiate a time and place

[BURR]This is commonplace, ‘specially ‘tween recruits

[COMPANY]Most disputes die, and no one shootsNumber four!

[LAURENS]If they don’t reach a peace, that’s alrightTime to get some pistols and a doctor on site

[HAMILTON]You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility

[BURR]You have him turn around so he can have deniability

[COMPANY]Five!

[LEE]Duel before the sun is in the sky

[COMPANY]Pick a place to die where it’s high and dryNumber six!

[HAMILTON]Leave a note for your next of kinTell ‘em where you been. Pray that hell or heaven lets you in

[COMPANY]Seven!

[LEE]Confess your sins. Ready for the moment of adrenaline when you finally face your opponent

[COMPANY]Number eight!

[LAURENS/LEE/HAMILTON/BURR]Your last chance to negotiateSend in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight…

[BURR]Alexander

[HAMILTON]Aaron Burr, sir

[BURR]Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature?

[HAMILTON]SureBut 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?

[BURR]Okay, so we’re doin’ this

[COMPANY]Number nine!

[HAMILTON]Look ‘em in the eye, aim no higherSummon all the courage you requireThen count

[MEN]One two three four

[FULL COMPANY]Five six seven eight nine

[HAMILTON/BURR]Number

[COMPANY]Ten paces!

[HAMILTON/BURR]Fire!
