ABE. (Leafing ahead.) Next ...

MIRIAM. Sing a little “Dayenu.”

ABE. “Dayenu.”

MIRIAM. Everyone.

EVERYONE. (Sings.) Eloo Hotzi-Hotzianu Hotzianu Meemeetzraim, Hotzianu Meemeetzraim, Dayenu. Day-Dayenu. Day-Dayenu. Day-Dayenu. Dayenu. Dayenu. Dayenu. Day-Dayenu. Day-Dayenu. Day-Dayenu. Dayenu. Dayenu.

BOB. (One too many.) Dayenu.

ABE. (Leafing ahead.) Next ... The matzah. Give me the matzah. (HE lifts up the matzah and reads ) “This matzah which we eat, what is the reason for it? Because the dough of our fathers had not yet leavened when the King over all kings, the Holy One, blessed be he, revealed Himself to them and redeemed them. As it is said: And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals.

MIRIAM. Joel, you read.

JOEL. (HE picks up the horseradish and reads.) “These bitter herbs we eat, what is the reason for them? Because the Egyptians made the lives of our forefathers bitter in Egypt. As it is said: And they made their life bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the fields; in all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigour.”

MIRIAM. (To Bob.) David.

BOB. (HE reads. And as HE proceeds, HE becomes involved in the meaning of the words.) “In every generation let each man look on himself as if he came forth out of Egypt. As it is said: And thou shalt tell they son in that day, saying, It is because of that which the Lord did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.”
