While backstage, about to go on for that evening's show, an actor is greeted by a young man. The young man reminds the actor that after the show, he has a meeting with Broadway for Peace. Despite not being all that political, when the actor learned that his dresser's nephew had been injured in the Vietnam War, he agreed to the meeting. At the meeting, the actor isn't sure what to say and is nervous when asked to speak, but he just says he doesn't understand the war and receives applause from the others at the meeting.
The next day, the actor goes to visit his elderly father who had a stroke a few years back and now lives in a nursing home. His father has some difficulty speaking, and even though he's trying to tell his son he wants to go home, they can't quite understand each other. After much repetition and patience, the actor calms his father down and heads home.
