History in the Making

"You know, today is a real special day."

"Why's that?"

"Look around you. Look at all the people voting. There's going to be record turnouts and we're probably electing the first black president."

"True."

"It's history in the making..."

"How's that?"

"I mean--it's historical. First black president. It's a huge precedent for the country. We're making history."

"I don't get that expression. Everything is history in the making. I kick this rock today. Tomorrow, it's history. I've made history."

"Well, it's more of an expression--"

"Like what you just said, just the act of saying something, that's making history. Because tomorrow or next week, you can say 'Remember when I said so and so?'"

"It's an expression. Like the fall of the Berlin Wall. That day, history was being made--"

"And that. What you just said. History just made."

"Or the assassination of JFK."

"And that."

"There's no talking to you."
