A scene
Wednesday, February 28, 2024. Our kitchen.
Rachel: Four score and seven years ago...who said that, Piper?
Piper: That guy...
Rachel: (goading) Which guy?
Piper: Abraham Lincoln?
Rachel: Yes! It's the Emancipation Proclamation!
Sharon: It's the GETTYSBURG ADDRESS!
Rachel: Oh, sorry.
Sharon: Do you know what a score is?
Rachel: Twenty years
Sharon: So four score and seven years ago is...
Rachel: 107 years
Sharon: Try again.
Rachel: My brain is mush! I've been teaching children all day!
Sharon: Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers set forth upon this nation a new land....
Piper: How do you have that memorized?
Sharon: Well, it was written on the back of an envelope, it's not that long
Piper: That can't be right
