Play: One minute

Characters: Lucretia Mott (Mott), Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Stanton), Women 1, Women 2, Women3

Setting: Meeting Hall

Starts- Stanton: The convention is tomorrow. The convention is tomorrow. The convention is tomorrow!

W1, W2, Mott: We know. We know. We know!

Stanton: I'm just so excited. I wish a lot of people come. But what should we do?

Mott: I bet a lot of people are going to come. Don't worry Beth. Where's the declaration that people are going to sign tomorrow?

Stanton: Don't you have it?

Then Women3 comes in to the meeting hall with a document in her hand.

Stanton: I'm so scared. What if people throw rocks at us when we are talking.

W1: We're just going to make a speech that women needs their rights. Who cares?

Stanton: I know, but you know those people that hate us so much. Like the anti-suffragists. They might just come up to us and start throwing rocks at us.

Mott: That's the reason why we are doing the convention at night. Only people that are invited can come so Beth don't worry.

W1: Anyways, what do we have to complete tomorrow.

W2: We surely know that we have a lot of things we have to accomplish by tomorrow.

W3: We also know that we have to make them signed the declaration. But what are we going to call the document?

Mott: hmmm... I wonder...

Stanton: The Declaration of Sentiments.

W1, 2,3, Mott: That's a brilliant name!

Stanton: We would have to make everyone there to sign this document!

Before the Convention starts-

Mott: Guys, remember, the reason why we are doing this convention is for women's suffrage. This is not a contest of who is going to talk well and make people happy.

Stanton: Also guys, when we are up the stage talking, there are going to be people that's going to make faces and make frowns of not wanting to hear our speeches. We have to convince them, and make that frown into a smile.

W1, 2,3: One, Two, Three...
Everyone: Let's do it!
