- Ichabod Crane: [to Abbie who is unconscious in the hospital] Lieutenant. Your duty in this battle is now to heal. This is not your time, dear friend.
- Ichabod Crane: [Still under the influence of anesthesia and in a dentist's chair, Abbie has just shown him an emoji of him riding an eagle that Zoe sent to him. Near tears, he can barely speak] I'm adorable.
- Abbie Mills: [to Crane who is in the dentist's chair still under the influence of anesthesia] The dentist said cut back on the gummy bears. And come back in six months for a cleaning.
- Ichabod Crane: [a dental assistant hands Crane a packet with toothpaste and a toothbrush. He is overcome] A gift.
- [He takes her hand and rests his head against her forearm]
- Ichabod Crane: Oh, thank you. You've given me so much.
- [the assistant gently pulls away and leaves]
- Ichabod Crane: She's given me so much joy.
- Abbie Mills: [Staring at Crane who is idly playing a video game] Your citizenship test is at the end of the month.
- Ichabod Crane: Lieutenant, if I have not belabored the point, I do not need to study history... I lived it.
- Abbie Mills: You know they're gonna test you on events that happened after 1781.
- Ichabod Crane: They offer you four options for every query--multiple choice. It's practically a parlor game.
- Abbie Mills: Hmm.
- [Walks over and sits down next to him]
- Abbie Mills: Pop quiz. On what date was the Declaration of Independence ratified?
- Ichabod Crane: July the 2nd, 1776.
- Abbie Mills: [Imitates buzzer sound] July Fourth... You know, Independence Day. Picnics, hot dogs, fireworks. Land of the drunk and free.
- Ichabod Crane: Yes, I'm perfectly aware of the holiday. 'Tis a symbolic representation. It need not be precise. No, the historically accurate date is July the 2nd. I should know--I attended the second Continental Congress.
- Abbie Mills: I don't doubt it, Crane, but you're not being tested on what happened--you are being tested on what is in Civics Today!
- [throwing the book onto his lap]
- Ichabod Crane: Oh, so 'tis not disgraceful enough hat I must implore to become a citizen of the country I, in part, founded, I must also learn by rote a compendium of solecisms masquerading as our nation's history.
- Abbie Mills: [unmoved and deadpan] Welcome to America.
- [Looks at his phone]
- Abbie Mills: Also, you got a text from Zoe.
- Ichabod Crane: [Crane grabs his phone surreptitiously] Ah, Miss Corinth has proofread my N400 form and says 'tis good to go. I must say, she has made navigating the choppy briny of citizenship a far more bearable undertaking.
- Abbie Mills: At a rate of twenty texts an hour, I should hope that she's steering you in the right direction...
- Ichabod Crane: How do you know...?
- Abbie Mills: We share a roof, Crane... I know a lot of things I cannot unknow.
- Ichabod Crane: On the subject of invaluable communication, when pray tell did you intend to inform Miss Jenny that you've located your father?
- Abbie Mills: Hey!
- Ichabod Crane: Things I cannot unknow.
- Abbie Mills: Well, it's complicated, Crane. My dad has a whole other life now, a new family. Jenny took it really hard when he left, and she's in a good place now, and I don't wanna throw a wrench in that.
- Ichabod Crane: [sincerely] You will make the right decision at the right time, Lieutenant.
