An American Education

(Open on an American family, a husband, wife, and two boys, standing in line at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.)

Father: They figure that people are going to be doing it no matter what so they'd rather they do it in a certain place away from schools and families and things.

Boy: Oh, that's good.

Mother: Well, the thing is most governments think that's acquiescing- that it's just helping the problem.

Boy: But if people are just going to be doing it anyways-

Mother: No. Because the thing is Amsterdam has more drug addicts than anyone else in Europe. (Not true.)

Father: Yea.

Boy: Oh.
