2:22.
Abigail:
What time is it now?
Clothing Store Clerk:
Almost 3.
Abigail: [sighs]
We missed it.
Riley:
No, we didn't. We didn't miss it because... you don't know this? I know something about history that you don't know.
Ben:
I'd be very excited to learn about it, Riley.
Riley: [takes a deep breath]

Riley:

Abigail and Ben:
Benjamin Franklin.
