gonna come down tonight.

We've got everything we need...

for three synchronized

sabotage actions.

The city will be ours.

The machinery

of the establishment...

will be in ruins by morning.

The government will fall

without firing one goddamn shot.

The new mayor will resign...

and we'll move in

and set up a tribunal.

It's curtains.

Blue, honey,

talk to me a minute.

Don't bother me.

I want to talk to you, honey.

Let's go.

Leave me the hell alone.

Oh, come on. We'll go and get some chinks.

I'm so hungry.

I ain't hungry.

Don't turn off on me, please.

Besides...

I don't need that garbage.

Every time you're with

your friends you don't pay...

Aah!

You son of a b*tch!

That hurt me, god damn it!

What do you think I am,

a boxing ball?

A punching bag!

Hit her! Hit her!

You know what you guys are?

You're a bunch of closet fags.

Shut up!

And when I leave this place...

you'll get together

and screw one another.

That's nice.

That is nice.

See, she loves it.

Oh, she loves it!

I love it, too.

We've got a lot

of lousy time to kill

'til zero hour...

I think I'm gonna ride

that goddamn whore.

Then go on, have a go.

You'll love it.

Let me ride

that goddamn horse.

Get on with it.

You know what you are?

You're a bunch

of f***ing Nazi fags!

(screaming)

Guys, that's uncool.

Don't do that.

Listen, you son of a b*tch.

You lousy...

(Harriet shrieks)

Hey, cut it out.

You're hurting her!

(Harriet) Go to hell...

You f***ing maniacs!

What are you doing to her?

Go ahead and hit me if that's how you... Aah!

Let go, my God!

I can't take it anymore!

(squealing and crying)

This isn't working out, Blue.

Our relationship stinks.

Come on, Harriet.

Let's go inside. lt's cold.

I have to go to bed by day.

Come on inside, baby.

You'll get hurt out here.

Listen, I tried

to stop them, but l...

Come on, Fritz!

Wait a minute, huh?

John says

this night will mean...

a great leap forward

for America's social evolution.

I dig it.

We're gonna blow up

the power plant.

This will keep you warm.

I gotta go.

Hey, baby.

We all had a good time

and got our rocks off.

Now we must devote ourselves

to the great task before us.

What'd you have

to hit her so hard for?

She loved it.

Me and you have been assigned

to blow up the power plant.

That's all I care about.

The revolution.

You're full of sh*t!

All you care about...

is a reason to hurt,

to destroy, to blow up.

You don't know what

a real revolution is.

None of you sons of b*tches do.

Harriet, well, she's good.

She's real. She loves.

She loves.

And when you get

right down to it...

that's where it's really at.

The love you give is equal

to the love you get.

Well, f*** it.

I ain't doing it.

So long, Fritz.

I ain't planting this bomb

for you schmucks.

Far out.

And though after my skin worms

destroy this body...

yet in my flesh

shall I see God...

whom I shall see

for myself.

You gotta

let us see our Fritz!

Where is he?

What have you done with him?

You can't go in there.

I'm sorry, girls.

He's under house arrest.

Let us see him ! Please!

-No one gets in.

-He's hurt.

Lord Jesus...

and shalt believe

in thine heart...

that God hath raised Him

from the dead.

I reckon he needed her.

He must be through.

Finished.

For with the heart...

man believeth

unto righteousness...

and with the mouth...

confession

is made unto salvation.

He that covereth his sins

shall not prosper...

but whoso confesseth

and forsaketh them...

shall have mercy.

Fritz, we're so sorry, baby.

He's trying to say something.

I've been up and down...

the four corners...

of this big old world.

I've...seen it all...

and I've done it all.

I've fought many a good man...

and I've laid many a good woman.

And...

if there's one thing

I've learned...

it's...it's...

you get over here...

and you get

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…
