Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'm here, sitting alone in my room, and I start crying. That's right, I start crying. Because another human being, a species that I happen to belong to, could kick a ball, and lift himself, and the rest of us sad-assed human beings, up to a better place to be, if only for a minute... let me tell ya, kid - it was pretty goddamned glorious.

Only everyone's out for themselves, and looking to do you in at the same time. OK, man, here we are.

GWB Doktored | Doktored | Dubya Cut and Paste Project | 2004 | George W. Bush: We will fight progress, and freedom, and choice, and culture, and music, and laughter, and women, and Christians, and Jews, and all Muslims. Our cause is necessary. Our cause is just. | 38:52 |
Mike Nichols (director), Jules Feiffer (writer), Art Garfunkel (actor) | Maybe it's not meant to be enjoyable with women you love | Carnal Knowledge movie | 1971 | Susan and I do all the right things. We undress in front of each other, we spend 15 minutes on foreplay, we experiment and do it in different rooms (it's a 7-room house). We don't believe in making a ritual out of it; we do it when we feel like it. We don't feel we have to be passionate all the time. Some times it's even more fun necking. We're considerate of each other's feelings. I had a tendency, men, I guess, to be selfish. But I stopped, I don't do that. We try to be patient, and we are patient, gentle with each other. Maybe it's just not meant to be enjoyable with women you love. | 39:27 |
Barry Levinson (director, writer), Daniel Stern, Ellen Barkin (actors) | Have you been playing my records? | Diner movie | 1982 | So, didn't I tell you the procedure? Yeah, you told me all about it, they have to be in alphabetical order. And what else? They have to be filed alphabetically, and according to year as well, OK? And what else? I don't know. You don't know? Well, let me give you hint, OK? I found my James Brown record filed under the J's instead of the B's. I don't know who taught you to alphabetize. But to top it off, he's in the rock and roll section. | 40:35 |
Alan Arkin (director), Jules Feiffer (writer), Donald Sutherland (actor) | Wedding speech | Litlte Murders movie | 1971 | ...But in as much as this ceremony connotes an abandonment of ritual in the search for truth, I agreed to perform it...Of the 200 marriages that I have performed, all but 7 have failed, so the odds are not good. We don't like to admit it, especially at the wedding ceremony, but it's in the back of all our minds, isn't it? | 41:23 |
David Byrne (director, writer, actor), Beth Henley, Stephen Tobolowsky (writers), Cara Cardona, Andrew Barach, Greygory Gunter (actors) | The Mall Monologue | True Stories movie | 1986 | Since this mall opened...have all pulled out of downtown... Shoppers here will go wherever the bargains are, wherever it's convenient to shop. They don't care if they shop in a funky, old building downtown, or in a clean modern place, like this... The shopping mall has replaced the town square as the center of many American cities. Shopping itself has become the activity that brings people together. In here, the music's always playing. What time is it? No time to look back. | 41:53 |
Drahomira Song Orchestra | Argentine | La Chambre de Styrene | 2002 | 42:31 | |
Alan Watts | Swallowing | ...I'm reduced to silence. I haven't anything to tell you. I don't teach anything, I have no doctrine. The other illusion that a Western is liable to have is that it's determined that the sense of what is happening now follows necessary from what happened in the past. Cause and effect? Why, obviously not. Because, if you're really naive, you see that the past is the result of what's happening now. | 43:28 | ||
Alan Watts | Taoism | ||||
Actors: Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper; writers: Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper | Scene: It's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace | Easy Rider movie | 1969 | You know, this used to be a hell of a good country. Can't understand what's goin' on with it. Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Oh, they're not scared of you, they're scared of what you represent to them. What you represent to them is freedom. What the hell is wrong with freedom, that's what it's all about! Oh yeah, that's right, that's what it's all about, all right. But talking about it and being it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they gonna get real busy killing and maiming to prove to you that they are. Oh yeah, they gonna talk to you and talk to you and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. It makes 'em dangerous. | 44:17 |
Sidney Lumet (director), Paddy Chayefsky (writer), Peter Finch (actor) | Death of the individual | Network movie | 1976 | The people spoke!...because the communists are deader than we are. Dedicated to the free... It's every single one of you out there that's finished. Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals. It's a nation of some 200-odd million transistorized, deodorized, whiter than white steel-belted bodies, totally unnecessary as human beings, and as replaceable as piston rods. Well, the time has come to say, is dehumanization such a bad word? Good or bad, that's what is so. The whole world is becoming humanoid: Creates that look human, but aren't. | 44:59 |
David Alexander (director), D.C. Fontana (writer), Skip Homeier, Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner (actors) | Shields of artificial atmosphere layered on every planet/This world is poison to me | Star Trek show. Episode: The Way to Eden | 1969 | This stuff you breathe, this stuff you live in. Shields of artificial atmosphere that we have layered upon every planet. The programs in those computers that run your ship and your lives for you, they bred what my body carries. That's what your science has done to me. You've infected me! | 46:31 |
Douglas Trumbull (director), Deric Washburn, Mike Cimino, Steve Bocho (writers), Bruce Dern, Cliff Potts, Rob Rifkin, Jesse Vint (actors) | Scene: Real food | Silent Running movie | 1972 | Everything is the same. All the people are exactly the same. That's what the difference is, that I picked it, and I fixed it, and it has a taste, and it has some color, and it has a smell. And that it calls back a time when there were flowers all over the earth, and there were valleys, and there were plains of tall, green grass that you could lie down in, that you could go to sleep in. And there were blue skies, and there was fresh air, and there were things growing all over the place, not just in some domed enclosures blasted some millions of miles out into space. Look at that stuff. How can you guys sit there and really say anything to me about this. Look at this crap. Look at that! Dried, synthetic crap. And you've become so dependent on it that I'll bet you can't even live without it. | 47:07 |
Alexander Payne (director, writer), Tom Perrotta (novel writer), Jim Taylor (writer), Matthew Broderick (actor) | Democracy (apples & oranges) | Election movie | 1999 | Let's say, all you ever knew were apples. Apples, apples and more apples. You might think apples were pretty good, even if you got a rotten one once in a while. Then, one day, there's an orange. Now you can make a decision. Do you want an apple, or do you want an orange? That's democracy. | 49:34 |
Father Fitzpatrick | Catholic Homlies for Today: 6/2/07 (Who gave him authority?) | Catholic Homlies (Canadian daily mass) | 2007 | Sometimes we forget that Jesus was a layman. He was never ordained a priest. So maybe it's no surprise that the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders in the temple in Jerusalem, want to know, who gave him, a layman, authority? | 49:55 |
Alan Arkin (director), Jules Feiffer (writer), Donald Sutherland (actor) | Wedding speech | Litlte Murders movie | 1971 | How long will it last? We all think that, don't we? We don't like to bring it out in the open, but we all think that. Well, I say, why not bring it out in the open? Why does one decide to marry? Social pressure? Boredom? Loneliness? Sexual appeasement? Love? I won't put any of these reasons down. Each, in its own way is adequate, each is all right. Last year, I married a musician, who wanted to get married in order to stop masturbating. Please, don't be startled: I'm not putting him down. That marriage did not work. | 50:43 |
Mark Mothersbaugh | Mothersbaugh's Canon | Royal Tenenbaums s.t. | 2001 | Second loop (more instruments) | 52:42 |
David Gordon Green (director, writer), Paul Schneider (writer, actor), Zooey Deschanel (actor), Michael Linnen, David Wingo (music) | I've got a secret...hello hello hello | All the Real Girls movie | 2003 | "Keep going." (Can't, no more time...) | 56:26 |
