all of the senators?

All right, this part here.

Tits and ass

is the attraction.

I beg your pardon.

Give me the second

biggest attraction.

More tits and ass.

That's it.

Tit's and ass

and ass and tits.

Damn, it's my mom!

[Mother]

Stan?

Uh, we're in here, mom.

Thank God you're home.

Everybody is so crazy out there.

Uh, mom,

this is gene.

Oh, hi, gene.

Gene's from on base.

What have you heard

over there?

They don't tell us much.

They're sayin' on the radio

that the world is

right on the brink,

and that is the terms

they're puttin' it in.

Do you know they are using

the casa marina hotel

for a barracks?

I almost couldn't

get back here.

They got army trucks comin'

down the a-one-a

holdin' everybody up.

Cool!

Let's go look.

Stanley!

Mom, I'll be all right.

Don't worry about it.

All right, but you stay within

you understand?

And if you see that flash,

you don't look.

You get down --

and I put my jacket

over my head.

Then get home

as fast as you can.

Gene, you just get on back

to the base then, all right?

Yes, ma'am.

All right.

Mom, don't worry.

Don't worry.

Huh!

Damn!

Let's go! Move out,

on the double!

Go! Go! Go!

Move 'em out!

[Stan]

What's that one?

That's a mobile radar unit.

That one there?

That's a

missile launcher.

Man, that little thing

can reach Cuba?

That's the plan.

See right over there?

That's where I got on top of

Denise Rogers last summer.

Fellows, we need you

outta this area.

Gonna pull some trucks

up in here.

Uh, sure.

Man, what's the deal?

Watch it!

Watch it!

[Indistinct chatter]

Ow!

It's a riot!

I know.

It's tough.

Hey, look!

Hey, excuse me!

Hey, let go of that!

[Indistinct arguing]

Both of you, stop it!

That's my

shredded wheat!

Is there more in the back?

There's no more

shredded wheat in the back.

There's no more

in the whole keys,

and one of you will have to

go to the atomic destruction...

With no damn

shredded wheat.

What do you think

about that?

I think it's my box --

hello, Mr. elroy.

Hello, uh, son.

[Elroy]

Hey!

Hey!

[Translating from russian]

You will have your answer

in due coarse.

I'm prepared to wait for my

answer until hell freezes over,

if that's your decision.

He said "hell."

That's okay.

It's a crisis.

He has been watching this

all afternoon.

Will you please

continue your statement.

Why don't you

take him to the movies?

They've got one of

those flying Professor

pictures.

You could go see a movie

without a monster for once.

No monsters?

No!

Hell.

- Where did he get that from?

- The u.N.!

We have no time to lose.

We have to find

Uncle Cedric before

he gets into more trouble.

What does Uncle Cedric

look like?

He's a shopping cart,

chromium finish,

and his right front wheel,

it's sort of wobbly.

A shopping cart?

Yes!

[Woman]

He wasn't always

a shopping cart.

He had a spell put on him

and it's all my fault because --

[man #2]

All right, stick 'em up,

both of youse.

Gimme youse purse.

[Squeaking]

Ooh!

All right!

Hold it right there!

Uncle Cedric!

[squeaking]

You see,

he likes you.

Can we go home yet?

Uh-huh.

[Man]

They're playing this thing

on Saturday...

Unless you people stop them!

Ask the people who run

this theater.

Ask 'em why they're selling

this town's kids, your kids,

down the River.

Look at this!

Monsters taking women and --

wait a minute!

Have you seen the movie?

No, I haven't, miss.

Uh-huh.

I haven't taken a tour

of the sewer, but I know

what's down there.

[Man]

This guy, woolsey,

his pictures are all the same,

a cheap thrill for a bunch

of hop-headed teenagers.

What about letting people

make their own decisions?

Yeah.

Sure, let the kids see it.

They'll wake up screaming

every night.

Let them forget about church,

school and --

oh man, come on!

Sure, and let the fellas

at the base come too.

Just when this country

needs to be strong.

Are you sayin'

these people are commies?

It's not about politics!

Hold on a minute.

It's him!

I'm Lawrence woolsey.

Who are you fellas?

We're from citizens

for decent entertainment.

I've never heard

of your organization.

You're gonna hear.

I don't think you're being

very fair to my movie.

They were fair to your movie

in little rock, pal.

Look what it got 'em.

Full-scale panic.

People terrified!

[woman]

Let him finish!

Thanks. I don't have

a big speech to make,

but I was under the impression

that key West was

a pretty sophisticated place,

not like coming

to some hick town.

[boy] Nah, do your worst.

I would like to hand out

some free passes so people

can decide for themselves...

If this movie

is really so terrible.

That's fair.

It's true that my movies show

things that others won't show,

things that some people say

are shocking,

things that some people

are scared to even imagine.

But is that really

more terrible than the world

we live in every day?

That's a real pretty speech, pal.

Does that help you sleep nights...

While you're turning kids

into hoodlums?

I sleep like a baby, my friend.

We gonna get free passes?

Here you go, Sonny.

Here. Maybe you two

could decide for yourselves.

Thanks, but that's not

the way we get our kicks.

[Man] What about

the first amendment?

There's no first amendment

to the ten commandments, pal.

Herb denning.

I knew it!

Stan, before we go out

on Saturday,

there's something I have to

talk to you about. Sure.

You know, for a while

I was seeing this older boy,

Harvey starkweather.

I heard that.

It was a mistake.

I see that now,

although in some ways

he was a very good person.

He was really sensitive.

Did you know

he writes poems?

Really?

Yeah. I could tell you one

if you'd like to hear it.

Yeah, uh, sometime.

Okay.

Anyway, he used to get himself

involved in things, like

holding up liquor stores.

It's over now, although

he did teach me a lot.

What about?

Well, about my body,

my desires,

about being a woman.

He was very good for me.

[Jet engine roaring]

Stan?

You don't think

they're gonna shoot off

those missiles, do you?

No, I don't --

because Harvey

was always saying...

That the whole world's gonna

blow up anyway, so we should

just do whatever we want.

That's crazy.

I know.

This writer in New York

that Harvey sent his poems to...

Said that Harvey was an

example of a complete primitive.

I could've told him that.

I don't think they'll

set the missiles off.

Kennedy and khrushchev

are probably working this

whole thing out right now.

It's on this high level.

[sherry] It makes more sense

when you explain it, Stan.

We'll have a good time

on Saturday.

One thing I thought we might do,

they're showing this movie

at the strand where this guy --

that sounds nice, Stan.

But in mallory square

they're having a special

exhibit on coral,

little animals and things

people make out of it.

That sounds great.

Okay.

So, I'll see you there

about 1:
00.

All right.

ah-ooh

wait and see
