John and Mary Page #5

366

00:
33:40,916 -- 00:33:44,147

- I'll talk to you soon.

- Hi, Dad.

367

00:
33:44,220 -- 00:33:47,189

- Hello. Did you get yourself something?

- Yeah.

368

00:
33:47,256 -- 00:33:49,622

- Huh?

- Oh, uh, sir.

369

00:
33:49,692 -- 00:33:53,526

The, uh, Amazon shipment

should be in by Friday, sir.

370

00:
33:53,596 -- 00:33:56,064

I'll keep your blowgun in mind.

371

00:
33:56,132 -- 00:33:59,465

You do that.

Uh, can I call ya about lunchtime?

372

00:
33:59,535 -- 00:34:01,730

- Yeah.

- Good.

373

00:
34:01,804 -- 00:34:04,204

- [ Stevie ] Why is she saying that?

- Why is she saying that?

374

00:
34:04,273 -- 00:34:08,903

Because I'm lookin'for somethin'. That's why.

Wanna get your haircut now?

375

00:
34:08,978 -- 00:34:13,881

[ Man ] You tell us that if we work

within the framework of the existing system...

376

00:
34:13,949 -- 00:34:16,509

that we will get what we want.

377

00:
34:16,585 -- 00:34:18,849

We work within that system,

and we get token concessions...

378

00:
34:18,921 -- 00:34:23,017

to pacify us, that do nothing

for what we want.

379

00:
34:23,092 -- 00:34:27,688

You are giving us tokenism.!

You are not giving us what we want.!

380

00:
34:27,763 -- 00:34:30,891

- We want what we want now!

- [ Clamoring, Applause ]

381

00:
34:30,966 -- 00:34:34,367

All right. Let me tell ya something.

The only way-

382

00:
34:34,437 -- 00:34:37,600

The only way to get things done...

383

00:
34:37,673 -- 00:34:40,233

to make them work

outside of a protest on a campus-

384

00:
34:40,309 -- 00:34:43,278

which does arouse us

to what the problems are about.

385

00:
34:43,345 -- 00:34:46,007

The way to get them done

is through political means...

386

00:
34:46,082 -- 00:34:48,778

and through a political party

that's responsive to you.

387

00:
34:48,851 -- 00:34:52,446

And I'm saying you have a responsibility

to do more than shout about what is wrong.

388

00:
34:52,521 -- 00:34:55,081

That is great. You've done that.

It's happened all over the world.

389

00:
34:55,157 -- 00:34:58,126

You saw how the black man

has waited...

390

00:
34:58,194 -- 00:35:02,790

to go through the appropriate legislation

or wait on your existing government, as you say.

391

00:
35:02,865 -- 00:35:04,958

Where would we have been?

392

00:
35:05,034 -- 00:35:07,594

Didn't we have to sit in?

Didn't we have to stand in?

393

00:
35:07,670 -- 00:35:10,036

Didn't we have to lay in?

Didn't we have to riot...

394

00:
35:10,106 -- 00:35:13,439

till city after city

after city was burned?

395

00:
35:13,509 -- 00:35:15,602

Do you know what

my stand is on Vietnam?

396

00:
35:15,678 -- 00:35:17,942

Do you know what my stand is

on the draft?

397

00:
35:18,013 -- 00:35:21,244

Do you know what my stand is

about the black revolution in this country?

398

00:
35:21,317 -- 00:35:24,718

- [ People Shouting ]

- All right. All right. If you know-

399

00:
35:24,787 -- 00:35:27,551

- If you know what it is-

- [ Man ] Let him say what he wants.

400

00:
35:27,623 -- 00:35:30,615

If you know what it is,

then you know that I do represent you...

401

00:
35:30,693 -- 00:35:34,254

that my ideas of what to do up there

in that so-called " sacred hall''...

402

00:
35:34,330 -- 00:35:36,821

come from you and from

your responsiveness to me...

403

00:
35:36,899 -- 00:35:39,163

and my responsiveness to you.

404

00:
35:39,235 -- 00:35:41,226

That's how a politician exists.

405

00:
35:47,810 -- 00:35:51,075

Let me just, uh,

briedly say that, uh...

406

00:
35:51,147 -- 00:35:54,344

it's been an exhilarating experience

for me being here today.

407

00:
35:54,416 -- 00:35:58,079

Uh, if there were

this kind of- of energy...

408

00:
35:58,154 -- 00:36:00,987

and this kind of concern-

deep concern-

409

00:
36:01,056 -- 00:36:03,456

going on in the state senate...

410

00:
36:03,526 -- 00:36:06,927

we would have solved a lot of the problems

of New York a long time ago.

411

00:
36:06,996 -- 00:36:10,932

Let me also say that

I know that many of you are disillusioned...

412

00:
36:11,000 -- 00:36:14,527

about what politicians- quote, unquote-

have made of this world.

413

00:
36:14,603 -- 00:36:19,165

And you have a right to be, but you also

have a tremendous responsibility...

414

00:
36:19,241 -- 00:36:21,334

to try to do something about it...

415

00:
36:21,410 -- 00:36:23,708

and you have an opportunity

to do something about it.

416

00:
36:23,779 -- 00:36:26,509

You have an opportunity to define

what American politics will be...

417

00:
36:26,582 -- 00:36:28,675

to define what a politician is...

418

00:
36:28,751 -- 00:36:32,881

and have those politicians responsive

to you and the kind of society you want.

419

00:
36:32,955 -- 00:36:35,048

And, in closing,

as I have to do...

420

00:
36:35,124 -- 00:36:37,490

let me just say

that in my opinion...

421

00:
36:37,560 -- 00:36:41,496

you have coined the great

motto of our time:

422

00:
36:41,564 -- 00:36:43,862

" Make love, not war.''

423

00:
36:43,933 -- 00:36:48,393

- Thank you.

- [ Cheering ]

424

00:
36:48,470 -- 00:36:51,371

[ Crowd Chanting ]

Peace! Peace! Peace!

425

00:
36:51,440 -- 00:36:54,807

Peace! Peace! Peace!

426

00:
36:54,944 -- 00:36:57,572

k& [ Classical ]

427

00:
37:10,392 -- 00:37:13,054

[ Volume Decreases ]

428

00:
37:17,900 -- 00:37:21,996

We really don't know

anything about each other, do we?

429

00:
37:22,071 -- 00:37:25,268

I mean, as far as we're concerned,

we might be anybody.

430

00:
37:26,609 -- 00:37:28,702

I am anybody.

431

00:
37:28,777 -- 00:37:31,837

No. All I'm...

saying is that-

432

00:
37:31,914 -- 00:37:35,077

I already know about you.

433

00:
37:35,150 -- 00:37:39,450

I know that you cook breakfast

and wash up your own dishes.

434

00:
37:39,521 -- 00:37:41,955

And you can't ask me to stay

until you're quite sure...

435

00:
37:42,024 -- 00:37:44,185

I haven't asked

to be asked to stay.

436

00:
37:44,260 -- 00:37:48,356

- Is that all you know about me?

- [ Laughs ]

437

00:
37:48,430 -- 00:37:50,694

I know that I liked it with you.

438

00:
37:50,766 -- 00:37:54,293

Enough to do it again?

439

00:
37:54,370 -- 00:37:57,203

Uh, that's, uh-

That's not an invitation, is it?

440

00:
37:57,273 -- 00:37:59,434

That's a request for information.

441

00:
38:01,176 -- 00:38:03,269

I'll tell ya anything

you wanna know.

442

00:
38:03,345 -- 00:38:05,973

- Okay. Where do you live?

- Here.

443

00:
38:06,048 -- 00:38:08,141

- Where's " here''?

- Here. The West Side.

444

00:
38:08,217 -- 00:38:10,742

Riverside Drive.

Tell me about you.

445

00:
38:10,819 -- 00:38:14,050

Okay.

446

00:
38:14,123 -- 00:38:16,751

- What do you wanna know?

- What do you do?

447

00:
38:16,825 -- 00:38:20,283

- Exactly.

- Do- Oh, you mean work.

448

00:
38:20,362 -- 00:38:23,229

I work in a gallery

at the moment.

449

00:
38:23,299 -- 00:38:26,393

- Where exactly?

- Seventy-fifth, near Madison.
