00 in the morning.Yes, sir, we have a gift
we'd like to present to you.
JOHN:
You'd like to present to me?How do you... know where I live?
Um, can we come in,
just have a word?
JOHN:
How about if we do it right inthe doorway. How does that sound?
Sure, um...
Sh*t!
JOHN:
Jesus! Hey!(OBJECTS CLATTERING)
(INDISTINCT GRUNTING)
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Well, I don't think you have
speaking out against you.
What did you do?
He had a wise ass mouth.
My little soldier, what did you do?
- You need to tell me so that I know.
- No, I'm not going to tell you.
Nothing bad.
I just...
I just talked to him.
But this is not the way.
Naughty boy, OK?
All right? Freddie?
You are a mischief.
A horrible young man, you are.
This is acting like an animal,
its own feces when hungry.
We stand far above that crowd.
Don't we?
- Well...
- We need to remember where we've met.
It's nagging at me.
Isn't it you?
(APPLAUSE)
MASTER:
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Down, but not out.
No, not dead yet.
- Hello!
- Hello!
Welcome to Philadelphia!
- Everyone all right?
- I'm gonna race you!
You win!
(LAUGHTER)
(CHILD SHOUTING)
You won, you won.
- Peggy, Elizabeth.
- Hello.
Clark.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
WOMAN:
When we travel backin the Time Hole,
there's a different feel
that is so basic
it's hard to describe.
So if you find yourself in a room...
...allow that there may be color
with unfamiliar tones,
perhaps because
There may be a strange quality
to the air.
Its particles of dust derive
from un-modern constituents.
Even human bodies seem to radiate
a different kind of warmth
when covered with the fabrics
of another age.
Now, memory filters
all of that out.
But... when we return this way,
the Cause Way,
the way Master has discovered,
everything is intact.
With such gratitude.
(WOMAN CHUCKLES)
(MASTER LAUGHS) Thank you.
What a welcome to Philadelphia.
- I'm in love.
(MAN CHUCKLES)
I'm in love.
We've all been in love.
And when we're in love,
we experience pleasure...
...and extreme pain.
And that's what
I'd like to talk about.
(MASTER SINGING)
(PIANO CHORD PLAYS)
"Go Roving."
"Go Roving" in "G."
(PIANO PLAYS UP-TEMPO TUNE)
(CLAPPING IN RHYTHM)
(CROWD) - Aw...
(PEOPLE LAUGHING)
(LAUGHTER)
Sotto voce.
(LAUGHTER)
- Everyone!
(ALL CHEER)
(SINGING FADES OUT)
Yes.
You can do whatever you want...
...as long as I don't find out.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
And as long as no one
(GRUNTING)
- Other than that,
stop with this idea.
Put it back in its pants.
It didn't work for them,
and it's not going to work for you.
We have enough problems
as it is, OK?
- Can you come for me?
- Oh, yes.
- Come for me.
- Oh, yes.
...best behavior out.
- Come for me?
- Yes.
- And no more of that boy's hooch.
- No more hooch.
- Say it again.
- No more hooch.
- Come for me.
(LOUD GRUNTING)
Yes. Oh!
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTING CONTINUES)
Freddie, wake up.
Come on. Wake up.
Come on.
Get yourself up.
- Wake up. Come on.
- Wait.
God. Yeah, come on.
- Come on.
- What's the matter?
Wake up.
Nothing's the matter.
I'm here to help you
with something.
- Wake up. Are you awake?
- I'm up!
- You awake?
- Yes.
- Look at me.
(GROANS)
Freddie, I want you to place something
in the future for yourself.
I want you to place something
in the future for yourself
that you would like to have.
And tell me when it's done.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
OK.
Now, it's there waiting for you,
and you can go and get it
whenever you're ready.
- Do you understand me?
- Yes.
You can't stay with us any more
unless you quit boozing.
All right.
- Now tell me.
- What?
- Tell me that you will quit boozing.
- I'll quit boozing.
- Say it again.
- I'll quit boozing.
- Say it again.
- I'll quit boozing.
- Say it again.
- I'll quit boozing.
(CHUCKLES)
You know you should wake up, Val.
Your father's speaking,
He's making all this up
as he goes along.
You don't see that?
I can sleep and wake up
and not have missed one thing.
- You got something to say to me?
- No, sir.
Well, you should have.
You should say something.
Do something.
Say "f*** you." Be a man!
