**Marx:** That is deep, Miss Sanger. Thank you for sharing that with us.
 * Marx:** (fart)
 * Teddy:** Was that you again, Karl?
 * Marx:** Vwhat?! Howz dare youz accuse me of zat, Teddy?
 * Teddy:** I know it was you, Karl.
 * Marx:** It wasn't me, you capitalist pig. I stand by the people of the socialist party.
 * Carnegie:** Excuse me, it is I, Andrew Carnegie...I am trying to concentrate.
 * Marx:** Oh no, Svetlana!
 * Teddy:** Shut your trap Mr. Carnegie. I have no patience for your monopolistic adventures.
 * Carnegie:** Please be quiet. 'The Socialist or Anarchist who seeks to overturn present conditions is to be regarded as attacking the foundation upon which civilization itself rests, for civilization took its start from the day that the capable, industrious workman said to his incompetent and lazy fellow, "If thou dost not sow, thou shalt no reap," and thus ended primitive Communism by separating the drones from the bees.'
 * Marx:** I am offended!
 * Riis:** You are the cause of pollution, sir Carnegie! I present myself, Jacob Riis, awesome muckraker, from the 3rd stall from the left.
 * Teddy:** Not pollution! I have saved so many lands."The conservation of our natural resources and their proper use constitute the fundamental problem which underlies almost every other problem of our National life." And now Carnegie will destroy them.
 * Riis:** Mr. Steel, you are killing us all! Tell us all the bad things you have done to this country.
 * Marx:** He did that Homestead thing.
 * Carnegie:** Muahahaha...... If what I have done is called 'bad', then are you telling me that I, "the trustee of the surplus wealth", am doing bad things by donating my money to serve the "the best good of the community ", to build universities, libraries, and public parks?! If you insist that I am a bad men, let me ask you what you have done?
 * Riis:** Well, talking about parks, I had Mulberry Bend, the most infamous slum in New York, torn down and made into Columbus Park with my impressive photography and my books. I fixed what your factories created.
 * Teddy:**Yea, and unlike you Carnegie I helped the working man. When the United Mine Workers went up against the anthracite coal industry I supported the workers.I may not have got them exactly what they wanted but I got them a 10% wage increase and a 9 hour work day. Doesn't sound anything like that fiasco of yours, the Homestead Strike.
 * Carnegie:** Oh, come on! Give it a break! No one is a sage! We all make mistakes in our life! I am redeeming myself!
 * Teddy:** Well, I suppose you're no worse than Taft. He, my hand picked successor, had the audacity to launch a suit against U.S.Steel dealing with the acquisition I approved. And don't get me started on the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Taft encouraged the reformers to fight for lower rates and then went and cut deals with the conservatives to keep the overall rates high. He even thought it was so great he took credit for it calling it the best tariff ever. To think I worked so hard to put him in the president's position...
 * Marx:** Hey, Carnegie! Instead of using the money for what you think is "good", you should distribute it evenly among the common people. " The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs."
 * Riis:** Pay for the slums! There is so much over crowding, poverty, pollution, disease and crime. Have you even thought about the lives of the people below you Carnegie? "Look into any of these houses, everywhere the same piles of rags, of malodorous bones and musty paper, all of which the sanitary police flatter themselves, they have banished to the dumps and the warehouses."
 * Sanger:** Hey boys, sorry to interrupt! Do you have any extra toilet paper in here? The girls room has run out.
 * Teddy:** Here you go miss.
 * Sanger:** Thank you. By the way, my name is Margaret Sanger. I am an advocate for women.
 * Marx:** Iz like vwomen.
 * Sanger:** I'm sure you do, sir. Would you boys care to take these brochures along with a sample of my new birth control medication? I'm sure it will make your wives and girlfriends feel very liberated, and improve your relationships.
 * Carnegie:** So what is this for?
 * Sanger:** Well, I have created this pill, called Envoid, along with help from my scientist friend Gregory Pincus. It is in the process of becoming FDA approved. Women can take this pill to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
 * Riis:** Why would women want to do that?
 * Sanger:** Countless women each year become pregnant with unplanned pregnancies. With my background in nursing and experieces with my own mother, I have seen the terrible things these women go through which include horrifying abortion procedures. I fought diligently against the Comstock Act of 1873, which as you fine men know, prevented the distribution of birth control devices and information.
 * Teddy:** Yes miss, I know of it.
 * Sanger:** I bet you do Mr. President. Anyway, "<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//I believe that the bearing and nurture of children are not the aim and end of women's existence. I want to see woman of the future liberated, spiritually free, conscious of her creative powers. I want to see her using them with vision and intelligence, for greater happiness, for security, for peace. To do this, woman must first liberate herself. Motherhood must be conscious and voluntary, before it can be creative. Then she can make the most of the greatest of all her gifts and responsibilities, the handling of the precious, mysterious gift of life."
 * Sanger:** You're welcome. Also, if you and your significant female run into problems with unwanted pregnancies in the future, I have created organizations such as the National Birth Control League and Planned Parenthood Federation, which will be able to help you. There are details in your borchures.
 * Carnegie:** I've got your toilet paper, miss!
 * Sanger:** Oh thank you very much. The women will appreciate it.
 * Riis:** Goodbye now Margaret. Have a nice day.
 * Sanger:** See you later boys. (exits)
 * Riis:** What a wonderful chat, men.
 * Marx:** Yes. It was zwonderful.
 * Teddy:** Wonderful.
 * Carnegie:** Yeah, hope to see you again. Less arguing next time.
 * All:** Goodbye. //
