BISHOP. You're a business man.
PRESCOTT. When there is business.
BISHOP. You believe in our American system of government.
PRESCOTT. Certainly, certainly. The system we did have.
BISHOP. So do I. Sincerely. I have the deepest, profoundest faith in our democracy.
PRESCOTT. [Impatient with the other's irrelevancy.] The world has not yet found anything better.
BISHOP. But unless we do something it won't last beyond our generation.
PRESCOTT. Nonsense.
BISHOP. Social unrest is growing. Young people, in their enforced idleness, are turning away from all that we have taught them.
PRESCOTT. [Annoyed.] Come, James. That isn't what you came to see me about.
