Yes, man, come join us.

Good stuff and lots of it, man.

Only close the door.

We're modest.

Har har har.

The guy's a riot.

Oh, God, I'm there.

You really there?

How is it?

-lt's...

-How is it?

That's funny.

I'm not there anymore.

Oh, sh*t.

I'm a writer.

Let's talk about it.

Ever made it

with an aardvark before?

It's a rare opportunity.

We're scarce.

Really?

I can't tell

if I'm there or not.

How do you tell?

You'll know when you are.

Oh, balls.

lt doesn't work for me.

I'm a failure

as a pot smoker.

Don't be sad.

Someday you'll make it.

Really.

Shh. I think we're here.

Do you hear anything, Ralph?

It sounds like a bunch

of degenerates in there.

Now, listen, Ralph,

you got the deeper voice.

And I want you to yell,

"Open the f***ing door."

Say the word "F***ing" because

that makes you sound tough.

When I say three,

you yell, "Open..."

I'm even gonna ad-lib.

No ad-libbing, Ralph.

Let me call them pre-verts.

What's a pre-vert?

A pre-vert is a degenerate,

didn't you know that?

A pre-vert's a degenerate?

Didn't you have no bringing up?

I got bar-mitzvahed.

You ain't supposed

to laugh, Ralph!

This is a serious job

and we're getting paid for it.

Cut the f***ing sh*t out.

Let's go.

All right.

Open up in there!

It's the law! Hippie bastards!

Good, Ralph, do it again.

What the f***'s your problem?

Cut it out!

I won't laugh!

Open the door, you pre-verts!

Open up!

Law and order's here!

-Open up!

-All right in there!

Open up! Here we are!

Wow! I can do it!

Oh, baby, do I feel high!

I'm flying!

What a wonderful, wiggly world!

We're outside,

but we'll get in!

-Law and order's here!

-Open up!

All right in there!

Your f***ing bath party's over!

-Over here!

-The cops!

Right in the mouth!

Yeah! I love it!

Take that!

Hey, you!

Get your hands out of my thing!

-Here we are!

-Where the f*** are you?

Over there! ln the head!

Get your hands

off of my dick!

In the head!

I love it! I love it!

Ralph, where are you?

Ralph, help! Gotcha!

Now I gotcha!

Here, take that!

That's my...

Gotcha! ln the heart!

In the head!

Over there!

Watch that thing!

Where's the cat?

Wow.

Hey, look at

this big f***ing gun.

I killed the john!

Kill! Destroy!

Can you give him your glasses?

Because I can't.

I have to look.

-You can't see?

-l'll give them back.

A little bit...

Oh, boy, this is good for me.

Can you dig it in your eyes?

You're younger than me.

Forty-five, forty-eight.

I'm sixty-seven.

I wish I knew.

I would give you glasses.

I'd take another pair

from the house.

I didn't think

I would need the glasses.

I'm not so young no more,

remember.

You don't see nothing?

I'm older than you are,

I'll see.

I'll mention that I see.

You're doing fine.

You're doing fine.

You know something?

That you don't have to

look at the book, right?

So say it. Say it.

All right.

All right. Good.

-Good.

-Beautiful.

Thank you, thank you.

Just normal.

You know, nice and quiet.

Now, wait a minute.

Don't rush.

Mother of God,

I'm a f***ing fugitive.

This is the place!

I saw him come in here!

Oh, my God, it's a synagogue.

What kind of a place is this?

A church?

Listen, I can hear them.

Don't sound like English.

Are they Puerto Ricans?

Ralph,

you're trying my patience.

You go down that aisle,

I'll go down this aisle.

It's about time

you said something bright.

Ralph, please be quiet.

It's my people.

-Excuse me, Rabbi.

-They all got long hair.

-Sorry, Rabbi.

-They all got long clothes.

-Excuse me.

-Must be a hippie church.

Hi, Rabbi.

Did you see him?

God.

Ralph,

would you please shut up?

I ain't talking loud.

Ralph Bakshi

Ralph Bakshi (born October 29, 1938) is an American director of animated and live-action films. In the 1970s, he established an alternative to mainstream animation through independent and adult-oriented productions. Between 1972 and 2015, he directed ten theatrically released feature films, six of which he wrote. He has been involved in numerous television projects as director, writer, producer and animator. Beginning his career at the Terrytoons television cartoon studio as a cel polisher, Bakshi was eventually promoted to animator, and then director. He moved to the animation division of Paramount Pictures in 1967 and started his own studio, Bakshi Productions, in 1968. Through producer Steve Krantz, Bakshi made his debut feature film, Fritz the Cat, released in 1972. It was the first animated film to receive an X rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, and the most successful independent animated feature of all time. Over the next eleven years, Bakshi directed seven additional animated features. He is well known for such films as Wizards (1977), The Lord of the Rings (1978), American Pop (1981) and Fire and Ice (1983). In 1987, Bakshi returned to television work, producing the series Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, which ran for two years. After a nine-year hiatus from feature films, he directed Cool World (1992), which was largely rewritten during production and received poor reviews. Bakshi returned to television with the live-action film Cool and the Crazy (1994) and the anthology series Spicy City (1997). During the 2000s, he focused largely on fine art and painting and in 2003 co-founded The Bakshi School of Animation with his son Eddie and Jess Gorell. Bakshi has received several awards for his work, including the 1980 Golden Gryphon for The Lord of the Rings at the Giffoni Film Festival, the 1988 Annie Award for Distinguished Contribution to the Art of Animation, and the 2003 Maverick Tribute Award at the Cinequest Film Festival. more…
