ABBEYLoved this scene, just loved it.
Anyway, Sarah was getting older, and she was getting nervous because she
didn't have any children. So she sent Abraham to the bed of her maid, Hagar, and Abraham
and Hagar had Ishmael. And not long after they did, God kept His promise to Sarah,
as He'd always intended to, and Abraham and Sarah had Isaac. And Sarah said to Abraham,
"Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of the slave woman will not be heir
with my son Isaac." And so it began: the Jews, the sons of Isaac. The Arabs, the sons
of Ishmael. But what most people find important to remember is that, in the end, the
two sons came together to bury their father.
And this one too...

[smiling] Look at you. You're a Boy King. You're a foot smarter than the
smartest kid in the class. You're blessed with inspiration. You must know this by now. You
must have sensed it. Look, if you think we're wrong... if you think Mr. Hopkins should
honestly get paid more than Mrs. Chadwick, then I respect that. But if you think
we're right and you won't speak up because you can't be bothered, then God, Jed, I don't
even want to know you.
