Lincoln: Yes. (Goes to cupboard, takes bread to eat, picks up book and begins to read).
Hanks: (Gets bread and lies down). What you reading?
Lincoln: O, a story of George Washington.
Hanks: Tell us about him.
Lincoln: After a while.
Hanks: All you do is to read and cipher anyway. I am going to take a nap.
