Free the Nipple Page #7

times I have to tell you this.

Everything is booked,

and even if it wasn't,

we can't get permits.

Organizing thousands

of topless women

costs a shitload of money

we don't have.

Uh, pardon me

for a second.

We're looking for

eyeballs, right?

(Cali)

Obviously.

Well, so I mean,

how do you get attention

in this day and age, you know?

Just, like, get some sort

of viral hit count

Bieber, Gangnam Style,

cat baby thing, right?

No, no, no, no.

You are not suggesting

we are doing a music video.

I'm not, but it's

a valid art form.

Look; what I'm saying

is what do you do

when you have an

important message

that you want to get

out to the people?

(Charlie) Ooh, you update

your Facebook status.

Okay, but to more people.

You know? To the world.

If you want to announce

you're running for president...

Press conference.

Hold a press conference.

Exactly.

0K3)'-

So you've got your friend

Jim, right?

He's got the press

in his pocket.

Why don't we put

all that together

and grab a microphone...

But why would

anyone else care?

Yeah, no one's gonna give

three shits about some speech.

No offense.

Yeah. It's true.

Unless you're topless.

Well, what's the hook?

Okay, what would be

so undeniable

that the press would

have to cover it?

(Liv)

Wait.

This is the perfect opportunity

for us to just

wreak some serious

street-art havoc.

Can we define

havoc quickly?

Before this goes-

And we don't have

any bail money.

Just hear me out.

It's just a thought.

What if, on Halloween,

while the cops are busy,

we got Kilo and Elle

to just go out on the street

and paste Free

the F***ing Nipple everywhere.

So that when everybody wakes up

on November 1st,

it's like the first snow.

Yes. Yes.

I like where you're

going with this.

- Keep going.

- Okay. Great.

And then the next day,

we hold a press conference,

and we take full responsibility

for the terrorist act.

(With)

lfucking love it. I love it.

I'm gonna-l'm gonna

call Jim right now.

I'm on it, guys.

(Jim)

What day are you gonna do this'?

November 1st.

[sighs]

Jim, did you-

did you read my speech?

Yeah.

The topless thing

is the Trojan horse,

but the real dialogue

that's happening

is about violence.

[sighs]

Your movement

is becoming poignant.

Great. Thank you.

Well, let me off the phone.

I got some calls to make.

Okay, cool. Thank you.

Bye.

[phone keys beeping]

[sighs]

Hey, Cathy.

Yeah, it's Jim.

Is he there?

Well, get him out

of that meeting.

[ethereal music]

II:

- Hey, uh, With?

- Yeah.

Come check this out.

I edited some

stuff together.

It's-it's very rough,

but it can give you

sort of a general idea

of what is going on.

Oh, that's-

you finished it.

- It's not finished.

- Everyone!

- No, it's not finished.

- People! Humans!

Stop.

Come and watch this.

Orson just

finished the cut.

It's a rough

cut, though.

Not finished, so don't

judge too harshly.

Wait. There.

We live in oppressive times.

We, as a nation,

become our own thought.

Jesus Christ is one of the most

historic victims of censorship,

and Pontius Pilate

was his censor.

And even more disturbing,

every-

and even more-ahh!

And even more disturbing...

Concern for commercial

viability...

Pontius Pilate was his censor.

And if you hate freedom,

move to China.

Censorship, censorship,

censorship

is an obvious hallmark of any

fascist, tyrannical regime.

Hey.

Hey.

- [sighs]

- It's 4:
00 a.m.

Oh.

You must crash.

We've got a big

night tomorrow.

F***.

This is really happening.

Yeah.

It is.

Oh, and we have to

call a lawyer

to arrange for some

bail money,

because someone

is definitely-

definitely

getting arrested.

Yeah.

You nervous?

Yeah.

Destiny comes

to those who listen,

and fate sorts out

the rest.

[laughing]

Yeah.

I'm so proud of you.

Proud of me?

And of us.

Don't do this right now.

[laughs]

I'm really proud

of us too.

I'm proud of you.

[sighs]

I I can't feel you now I

Alert the media!

All right.

Thank you for coming.

I'm sure that a lot of you

are here purely because

you owe me favors, uh,

or I once bailed you out.

Peter.

[laughter]

bloggers and opinion writers

I know,

so I thank you very much.

I am here in lieu

of my good friend, With.

Keep walking, okay?

Keep walking.

I mean...

[indistinct chatter]

Okay, GUYS-

[indistinct chatter]

(Jim) And maybe you've

heard some murmurings

about her group of girls

that have been tagging

New York City

with "Free the Nipple."

Uh, I just ask for a few

moments of your time

to watch a video

that With put together.

And if not, well,

I'll just f*** off

and post it on YouTube.

Okay, I'll shut up.

[ethereal music]

II:

(With)

The film censors in America,

like the MPAA, allow excessive

violence yet discourage nudity

and one of the most beautiful

acts of humankind: making {ova.

(man)

I Free the nipple I

I W you dare to I

I Life is all too short I

Well, our sexuality

has been taken away from us

and is essentially

being sold back to us

through advertisement

and all this stuff...

with) As a citizen of one of the

most violent countries in the world,

I just Want to ask

one simple question."

What is so obscene

about a woman's body?

If religious leaders...

Religious leaders believe

that God created man and woman,

and they are so offended

by our bodies!

Don't arrest us

for public nudity.

Complain

to the manufacturer!

Get on your knees

and pray for God

to make a less obscene

version of us!

Whoo!

[cheers]

(With) So you're watching

the movie we made.

AH of us.

Just a bunch of girls who've

never made a movie before.

So why did we make H'?

Because it's hard

to change the World.

You have to start somewhere.

We need new heroes,
