The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a mock sitcom opening, Martin Luther King Jr. bounds into the kitchen, loudly sure that his Lincoln Memorial speech is ready. His wife Coretta and his friend Tommy press him to show it, and the whole draft turns out to be a single catchphrase. After a heated argument, the pair help him find his words and King, delighted, asks whether he can still open with his greeting.
