Bobby Page #10
Bobby!
Bobby! Bobby!
Bobby!
- Bobby!
- Bobby!
Kennedy, you son of a b*tch.
Get the gun.
Get the gun. Get the gun.
Stay away from the gun.
- Stay away from the gun.
- Get a doctor!
Keep them out!
Keep them out!
His hand is frozen.
Take ahold of his thumb
and break it if you have to!
Get his thumb!
Excuse me. Excuse me!
Hold him! Hold him! Hold him!
Get a doctor for the senator!
We don't want another Oswald!
Senator!
Wade! Wade! Excuse me, Wade!
Excuse me! Sir, move!
He's been shot!
- What?! What?!
Excuse me.
Wade! What happened?
- Someone shot him!
What?
Excuse me!
Excuse me! I'm with...
Ladies and gentlemen, could I
have your attention please?
Ladies and gentlemen, can I
ask you please to be calm?
We need a doctor to come
- Please, everybody...
- Bobby's shot?
- Bobby's shot?
- Please, just be calm.
And if you can,
please leave the ballroom.
We need a doctor to the podium
right now!
Please. Is there a doctor
in the house? We need you...
It is not a day for politics.
I have saved
this one opportunity...
I've been shot!
...my only event of today...
I've been shot!
about the mindless menace
of violence in America,
- Can you help me?!
- and every one of our lives.
- Can you help me? Please.
It is not the concern
of any one race.
- Doctor! Anyone!
- The victims of the violence
are black and white,
rich and poor,
young and old,
famous and unknown.
They are, most important
of all, human beings
loved and needed.
- What happened, do you know?
- Somebody said he's been shot.
No one, no matter
where he lives
- or what he does...
- Get a doctor, please!
...can be certain
who next will suffer
from some senseless act
of bloodshed.
And yet it goes on and on
and on in this country of ours.
SUSAN:
It's okay. It's okay. Plea!
Why?
- You'll be okay.
What has violence
ever accomplished?
What has it ever created?
Oh! Oh. Oh, my God!
Dear.
Help!
Whenever any American's life
unnecessarily...
William, come on!
...whether it is done
in the name of the law
or in defiance of the law,
by one man or by a gang,
in cold blood or in passion...
I've been shot.
...in an attack of violence
or in response to violence,
whenever we tear at the fabric
of our lives
which another man has painfully
and clumsily
woven for himself
and his children,
whenever we do this, then
the whole nation is degraded.
Yet we seemingly tolerate
that ignores
our common humanity
and our claims
to civilization alike.
Hey, Donny, what
the heck's going on?
Senator Kennedy's been shot.
Too often, we honor swagger
and bluster
and the wielders of force.
Too often, we excuse those
who are willing
on the shattered dreams
But this much is clear:
Violence breeds violence,
repression breeds retaliation,
and only a cleansing
of our whole society
can remove this sickness
from our souls.
For when you teach a man to
hate and to fear his brother,
when you teach
that he is a lesser man
because of his color
or his beliefs
or the policies
that he pursues...
...when you teach
that those who differ from you
threaten your freedom
or your job
or your home or your family,
then you also learn
to confront others,
- All right, Captain...
- not as fellow citizens,
but as enemies.
To be met not with cooperation,
but with conquest.
To be subjugated
and to be mastered.
We learn, at the last, to look
at our brothers as aliens.
Alien men with whom we share
a city, but not a community.
Men bound to us
in common dwelling,
but not in a common effort.
...is impossible to believe...
We learn to share
only a common fear,
only a common desire
to retreat from each other.
Only a common impulse to meet
disagreement with force.
JACK I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, baby.
You're gonna be okay.
Do you hear me?
You're gonna be okay, sweetie.
Our lives on this planet
- are too short.
- Jimmy! Look at me.
- The work to be done
- Cooper!
Is too great
to let this spirit flourish
any longer in this land
of ours.
Of course, we cannot
banish it with a program
nor with a resolution...
...but we can perhaps remember,
if only for a time,
that those who live with us
are our brothers,
that they share with us
the same short moment of life,
that they seek, as do we,
nothing but the chance
to live out their lives
in purpose and in happiness,
winning what satisfaction
and fulfillment that they can.
Surely, this bond
of common fate,
surely, this bond
of common goals
something.
Surely, we can learn,
at the least,
to look around at those of us,
of our fellow men,
and surely, we can begin
to work a little harder
to bind up the wounds among us
and to become, in our hearts,
brothers and countrymen
once again.
