[On the Stairway to Heaven, passing by various statues representing important figures in history, points to a statue of Abraham Lincoln]
What about him?
Peter:
Lincoln? No, it's hardly fair to drag him in. I don't believe *he'd* be prejudiced.
Conductor 71:
Plato. How would you like to be defended by Plato? Nobody knew more about reasoning than Plato.
Peter:
He was eighty-one when he died, he might be too old to think love important.
Conductor 71:
You think so? Anyhow, Plato had very elementary ideas about love.
Peter:
Besides, didn't he quote Sophocles when somebody asked him if he was still able to appreciate a woman?
Conductor 71:
What did the old boy say?
Peter:
Well, he said, uh, "I'm only too glad to be rid of all that. It's like escaping from bondage to a raving madman."
Conductor 71:
[scoffs]
These Greeks, cold as their marble. Now, if he had been French... Richelieu, for example, irresistible at eighty. How *about* Richelieu?
Peter:
No, I never liked him much in "The Three Musketeers".
