Aaron Burr has a few lines throughout Act I in which he foreshadows Hamilton's future death in Act II. In the second song of the musical, "Aaron Burr, Sir," Burr warns Hamilton that "fools who run their mouths off wind up dead." This foreshadows the conflict that will arise between the two, eventually leading to Burr killing Hamilton. Similarly, in "Non-Stop," Burr inquires of Hamilton, "Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Soon that attitude will be your doom." This again foreshadows Hamilton's death in his duel with Burr.
