Constitutional

Lights up.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN is pacing around a table where JOHN ADAMS sits, preparing to write the Bill of Rights.
JOHN ADAMS:
Okay Ben, focus. This is the American Bill of Rights. This is important. Alright, what should the first amendment be?
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: How about… Benjamin Franklin is hot.
JOHN ADAMS: That doesn't sound very... constitutional.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: Okay, uh - "We the people hereby adamantly declare Benjamin Franklin to be the very definition of the word Sexiness, a sex god, as it were."
JOHN ADAMS: Yeah, I don't think the word sexiness should appear on the United States Bill of Rights.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: Sextacular?
JOHN ADAMS: No.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: How about "Of epic endowment"?
JOHN ADAMS: No! This is important! It should be about guaranteeing some kind of freedom!
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: How about "The ladies of the United States of America are free to worship Benjamin Franklin in all his sexual glory and Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of said beliefs."
JOHN ADAMS: Ugh, fine. Then the second amendment should say that John Adams is just as sexy as Benjamin Franklin.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: Now that's ridiculous.
JOHN ADAMS: Why?
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: Well, look at you ... and look at me.
JOHN ADAMS: ... yeah I've changed my mind about the second amendment. I want a gun.

Lights down.
