"Previously on Making History..." "We are gonna bet on the World Series of baseball." "1919 Chicago!" "However long you're in the past, that's as long as you've been gone from the present." "I'm not gonna get tenure now!" "I may not even have a job!" "(as Tony Montana):" "Say hello to my little friend!" "(laughs)" "We are back, and we got all this money." "You wanted to see me?" "Come on in, muchacho." "Take a seat." "COBELL:" "Chris." "We know." "You know what?" "Everything." "Why you've been missing work, acting so erratic." " All of it." " Let me explain." "It was..." " You're an addict, Chris." " What?" "!" "I can tell because I used to be one, too:" "full-blown alcoholic." "But I beat it." "Now I drink safely every day." "Tons." "Uh, what's got its hooks in you, son?" "Booze?" "Poppers?" "Is it poppers?" "!" "No!" "No." "It's, uh... um... private and, uh..." "It's, um..." "It's sex addiction." "Oh, mama." "But you have my word... nothing from my personal life will ever make its way into the classroom." "It's more than just the classroom, Chris." "Publish something by the end of the semester, or I'm-a light ya up." "Far as all that other stuff goes... we all get horny, man." "DAN:" "Hey, buddy, how was your meeting?" " Did you get fired?" " Let's say I had been fired." "Do you think that's an appropriate way to ask?" "Well, I can tell you don't think so, but I got to be true to myself on this, too." "No, I'm not fired, but I'm on thin ice." "Luckily, I just came up with the perfect cover for time travel." "I told them that I'm a sex addict." " Why is that the perfect cover?" " 'Cause I still get to drink and do poppers." "Smart." "Hey, so you know how we wanted to take our Chicago money and buy that ice cream parlor for Deb?" " That is not what I want." " I was also thinking it might be a little suspicious that a heating guy and a sex addict, weirdo, creep, pervert professor would have enough money to do something like that." "Right, and we watched the previous owner get killed" " right in front of us." " Exactly." "So I came up with the perfect front that will not draw any added attention to us."

" They're highly intuitive." "(grunting)" "Oh, there are just so many books and not enough time to read them all." "I feel the same way about dirt bike magazines." "Thank you for choosing to speak to me." "I'm starting an ice cream business, and there's just so much to learn." "Oh, I hear ya." "When I sold my eggs, there were so many forms to fill out." "I'm Deborah Revere." "Oh, cool." "I grew up in Revere." "Are you related to Paul?" "He's my father." "You wise-ass." "I'm Melanie Barzoon." "I'd shake your hand, but I got a staph infection." "Oh." "Well, you seem to have it all... a job, a shirt with your name on it." "What's your secret to success?" "It's water." "People need it, or else they dry up to death." "Huh." "It's simple." "And that's what I like about ice cream." "Yeah, I like to dig out all the chunks out of the Rocky Road." " That's why my ex-husband left me." " Cool." "I like your vibe." "Are you Dutch?" "I wish!"

"Women can wear whatever they want in this time." "DAN:" "That's right, and Deb here is actually going to run this ice cream shop." "HANCOCK:" "A creature ruled by the lunar cycle in charge of a business?" "!" "Absurd!" "Have you gone insane?" "!" "DEBORAH:" "I'm sorry, but white men don't run everything anymore." " We would like to go home now." " DAN:" "Fine." "Maybe you could take some of our modern ideas about ending sexism to the past with you." " Sure, Dan." " We'll, uh, get right on that." "We're gonna go back in time and tell everyone that we're putting women in charge, and we're sinking the sun into the sea." "Chris, can you take the boys here back to 1775?" "We have to go fix the freezer." "Bag us, Daddy." "CHRIS:" "Hey, I might be able to use your help with something at work." "I mean, you guys signed the Declaration of Independence." "The what now?" "The-the Declaration of Independence." "Maybe." "In our line of work, we sign a lot of things." "Go through a lot of quills." "Mm-hmm." "Not enough pigeons in the pond." "I'd love to hear everything you could tell me about your time." "Any chance you two would want to stay a couple days?" "Well, we have our own important business to attend to in the past." "We're building a wall between Massachusetts and Connecticut." "And we're going to force Connecticut to pay for it." "I have a ton of beer." "We're staying in the future!" "Oh, Hancock and Adams really stunk this thing up." "There's, like, five dead frogs in here." "Daniel, I'm getting really good at making ice cream, but I'm worried that there's more to modern business" " than just the product itself." " Yeah, there's advertising, marketing, distribution, writing yourself tons of fake reviews every day." "Wow!" "You really know your stuff." "I'd like to add you to my team." "I am pretty smart at business." "I've seen every episode of Shark Tank, so..." " Will that help us?" " Definitely." "And I'm not one of those Bob snobs, either, that undervalues Robert Herjavec just because he's the son of an immigrant factory worker." "What would Robert do?" "He'd probably tell us we need a hook..." " something to make our business unique." " I know." "Maybe our hook should be... ice cream is simple and delicious, and people love it!" "No." "I can guarantee you it won't be simple." "Deb, I'm a guy that takes big swings." "And more often than not, I miss." " Like your white jeans?" " Yes, but when I hit... ooh, baby!"

"(laughs airily)" "Can I tell people that?" "ADAMS:" "You can tell people" " that they stink." " HANCOCK:" "Hey." "I never criticized you for that line of bonnets you made and tried to sell under your wife's name." "Oh." "No, no, no." "Stop jotting." "That one stays here." "What's all this for anyway, Christopher?" "My job's in danger." "But I can save it if I have new stories to tell about the birth of American democracy." "Democracy is a concept best learned by experience." "Chris, what if we turned your apartment into a practicing democracy?" "Gentlemen, what say you?" "ALL:" "Aye!" "(laugh)" "Well, the ayes take it, three to nil." "To democracy!" "(laughs)" "(laughter)" "(laughter continues)" "(car horn toots)" "(loud snoring)" "(gasps)" "Don't be alarmed, Chris."

"So, Chris, what shall we discuss today?" "The Magna Carta?" "George Washington?" "Betsy Ross's jugs?" " Such a gifted potter." " Uh, no, I've got to get to work, but maybe later tonight, you can finish telling me that story about Ben Franklin?" "I'll tell you the short version now." "He has syphilis." "Whoa!" "All right, that's some saucy history." "Are you guys sure you're okay here by yourselves?" "Chris, we are educated, land-owning gentlemen." "I speak Latin." "And I freed myself from the blowhole of a whale." "I don't know when you're lying, so, in case you get hungry, here's some oatmeal." "Fair Edmund, the Quaker!" " He did it!" " ADAMS:" "He always said he wanted to be a model." " Good for him." " Good for him." "Daniel, I'm so excited to finally hear our hook." "And I'm so excited to tell it to you." "Who is this?" "Well, this is Melanie." "She's my new friend." "You have a friend." "Very cool." "How can I trust her with our proprietary business secrets?" " Because I don't care?" " Awesome." "Great." "Okay," "Deb, I promised you that I was gonna take a big swing." "Prepare yourself for..." "Night Cream." "We're puttin' the Vegas back into ice cream, baby!" " I don't get it." " Deb, a bottle of vodka at a liquor store costs about $20, but at a Vegas nightclub, a bottle of vodka can run upwards of $500." "We're gonna do that with ice cream." "But what about children?" "We're not selling to children;" "they don't have any money." "We're selling to Saudi princes and hedge fund playboys and Robert Craft." "Dude, you're blowing my mind." "This isn't exactly what I pictured." "I know, right?" "It's so much better." "Now, Deb, get ready to have your wildest creams..." " (music starts playing) - become reality." "Can you feel it?" "Berries." "Give this sugar a spank." "Bad sugar." " Oh." " What's happening?" " An ice cream revolution, Deb." " Oh." "DAN:" "Here comes the yum." "(groans)" "Tastes like a child's funeral." "This home is like a womb." "This is the first time in my life" "I haven't had to worry about being cold or hungry or shot by a Wampanoag arrow." "It's amazing... when you're not covered in sopping wet wool, one's mind can take fanciful flight." "The fanciful-est." "Why, this is the perfect atmosphere for us to think of stories for our friend, Chris." "You know what would inspire me?" "The little men playing a ditty." "You, in there." "A one, a two." "Well, go on." "Do it." "Play for us, ye tiny minions." "Hello." "Oh, no." "We forgot to feed them." "I will sacrifice my oats so that they may live." "Here." "Eat up." " Open your mouths." " Are they eating?" "Is this your slop door?" "Give me a little piccolo if I'm doing this right." "You, fool." "These are genteel men." "They eat their oats out of bowls." "Then we must fashion little bowls for them." " Out of what?" " Uh..." "The oats themselves." " They'll be like taco bowls." " What?" "Yummy oats in little oaten bowls." " We don't have time for that." " We don't?" " Awaken the maestro." " What?" "He'll instruct them to defy protocol and eat with their hands." "Guys." "Perhaps they've moved to another box." "I recall sounds coming from this box as well during Project Runway." "(both grunting)" "You're free." "You're free to play us music." "I don't see them."

"HANCOCK:" "Dumbasses?" "We signed the Declaration of Independence, I heard." "What we did was smart." "Perhaps we should take a vote on whether or not it was smart." "We are not voting on this." "Oh, now you don't value democracy." "All those who agree that we are brave and strong and what we did was smart, say aye." "BOTH:" "Aye." "The ayes have it." "It was smart."
