Some Context for the Quote

The Cast, in order of appearance:

Cole (a nine year old boy)

Daniel (a 4 year old boy)

Elisabeth (a 3 year old girl)

Act I
The family is seated at the table. On the table sits a jar filled with a dark and thick liquid -- it's table syrup to schmootz on your bread.

Cole (gesturing at the jar): Is that beer?

Daniel: Yep, it's beer.

Elisabeth: No, it's not beer, Daniel, it's table syrup.

Daniel: NO. It's beer, Elisabeth.

Elisabeth: No, Daniel. It's table syrup. You don't understand table syrup.

The End.
