INT. ABRAHAM'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
After putting Ike to bed that same evening, ABRAHAM begins his study of the U.N. resolution on climate change. This lasts for many days as the resolution is voluminous and very detailed. He also reads as much as he can about the issue of climate change. ABRAHAM wants to know as much as possible about climate change for when he confronts ROBERT, to beat back all of ROBERT's potential arguments.
INT. SANCTUARY AT ABRAHAM'S SYNAGOGUE - DAY
With IKE on next Saturday morning, ABRAHAM participates in shabbos services plus prays for God's help on his mission for God.
ABRAHAM: (whispering) Please, dear God, give me the strength to fulfill the mission you have bestowed upon me. But, also please help me to protect the child whose life is more precious to me than my own.

PROFESSOR: Sure. I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

ABRAHAM (O.S.): What? That's almost three weeks away.
PHYLLIS: I'm sorry, but Mr. SILVER is very busy. Please check in at the White House gate when you arrive. See you then.
