“SIMON. I wouldn’t feel too badly if I were you, Caleb. You ain’t the only man in your family to have a baby with a slave. It’s time you knew that fact. Things don’t change that much from father to son. That much I can see. Or, I guess, from brother to brother. That much I can see now, too.
(SIMON slowly begins exiting.)
When the Lord returns the exiles of Zion, we will have been like dreamers.
JOHN. Simon...
SIMON. Then our mouths will be filled with laughter, and our tongues with joyous song.
JOHN. Simon, please!
SIMON. Then will they say among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”

“CALEB. Simon...
SIMON. Next year in Freedom!
NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM!!!
(SIMON exits.)”
