SIDE 1

TOM

You want the TV? Take the TV. The TV's yours. Just leave me alone.

GEORGE

Relax, Tom. We're just different parts of you. We are all the ideas in your head.

DINA

And not just us, Tom. Do you realize how many ideas you have in your head? Just look around you.

ALL (EXCEPT TOM)

(to audience, ad-lib greetings)

Hi. Hello. (etc.)

(TOM looks around and sees the audience for the first time.)

TOM

I don't understand this!

SHULIE

Don't you see, Tom? We're every person you've ever met.

(SHULIE removes Tom's robe, revealing Tom's work clothes.)

JOE

We're every place you've ever been.

DORI

We're every thing you've ever known!

SHULIE

Feel better?

TOM

No.

JOE

You look great!

SIDE 2

JOE

Criminy, George, that one just plum wore me out.

TOM

That was a really fun song!

DORI

And?

TOM

And it was very informative.

DINA

But?

TOM

But it wore me out a bit.

SHULIE

Or?

TOM

Or, hey, what's up with all the conjunctions?

DORI, DINA, SHULIE

You tell us, Tom.

SIDE 3

DORI

And they put those principles down on paper and called it the Constitution. And it's been helping us run our country ever since then. The first part of the Constitution is called the "Preamble" and tells what those Founding Fathers set out to do.
