The Ten Pie Commandments
[BURR/HAMILTON/LAURENS/LEE]
It’s the Ten Pie Commandments
[FULL COMPANY]
It’s the Ten Pie Commandments
Number one!
[LAURENS]
The challenge: demand satisfaction
If they give you a pie, no need for further action
[COMPANY]
Number two!
[LAURENS]
If they don’t, grab some dough, that’s your second
[HAMILTON]
You knew you had to make some when the call of pie beckoned
[COMPANY]
Number three!
[LEE]
Roll your dough with parchment in place
[BURR]
Negotiate the pan
[HAMILTON]
You’ve got to make sure it fills the space
[BURR]
Stretch is commonplace, ‘specially with large fruits
[COMPANY]
Most pies contain these attributes
Number four!
[LAURENS]
If it doesn’t cook through, that’s alright
Just watch for salmonella with a doctor on site
[HAMILTON]
He looks at you askance, you double bake it with agility
[BURR]
You know a poison pie can lead to excess liability
[COMPANY]
Five!
[LEE]
Cool dough works the best to make a pie
[COMPANY]
But pick a place to bake where it’s hot and dry
Number six!
[HAMILTON]
Leave a recipe for your next of kin
Tell ‘em where you been. Pray that pastry school lets you in
[COMPANY]
Seven!
[LEE]
Vent your crust. This is the moment of trust when your lattice has its moment
[COMPANY]
Number eight!
[LAURENS/LEE/HAMILTON/BURR]
Your last chance to egg wash your plate
Send in your tasters, see if they can get the moisture straight…

Aaron Burr, sir
[BURR]
Can we agree that pies are wise for epicures?
[HAMILTON]
Sure
But your pie has to answer for its curds, Burr
[BURR]
Pumpkin pie? The filling should be stirred, sir
[HAMILTON]
Hang on, how many pies burned ‘cause Sara Lee was poorly made and ruinous?
[BURR]
Okay, so we’re doin’ this
[COMPANY]
Number nine!
[HAMILTON]
Knife upon the pie, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count
[MEN]
One two three four
[FULL COMPANY]
Five six seven eight nine
[HAMILTON/BURR]

[COMPANY]
Ten pieces!
