Privilege Page #6

Who's responsible?

What made it happen? You did!

How am I responsible?

What's so special about me?

Steve, people admire you.

I admire you. Butler admires you.

They look up to you. You represent

something very important to them.

What do you mean represent?

Tell me, what do I represent?

September 10th.

The National Stadium in London.

I can't reach it.

I can't reach it.

There. Now can you reach it?

May the love of God be always

with you. Amen.

What you are now watching is the largest staging of nationalism

in the history of Great Britain

Now is the beginning of

Christian Crusade Week

and praise be to God!

Led by a section of the

Durham Queen's Scouts

detachments of Christian bodies

from all over the country

pulse with ear-tingling music

and breathless precision

into an unequalled expression

of national solidarity.

We calculate that the gate money

from each of these performances

will gross on average

approximately 135,000.

The coalition government of Britain

formed because of the complete lack

of difference between the policies

of the Conservative and Labour parties

has given both its blessing

and a state subsidy

to the mounting of

Christian Crusade Week

because, as the

official pamphlet states

"we need no longer have any

disturbing political differences

"When we are all of one faith and

believe in one God and one ag."

This black card will be issued to you

as you leave the Stadium tonight.

On it there are three words.

They are simple words

but they are vital words.

They are words which we must now,

all of us, begin using

because, since the end of the War,

we in Britain

have become apathetic, slack,

loose in our morality.

National cohesion has become

unimportant to us!

We must fight this. We must.

Now, all of us begin to use

the words on the card!

"We will conform ."

Those are the words.

We will conform.

And when I say the word conform

I want all of you to shout

in one clear voice in reply

We will conform!

Now, conform!

We will...

conform!

Above all we must follow the example

of a young man who found repentance...

who found faith...

who found God...

who found all of these things...

who found the Word.

And now he is here with you tonight.

To our shining example.

To the light.

To the path.

To a way.

And did those feet in ancient times

Walk upon England's mountains green

And was the holy lamb of God

On England's pleasant pastures seen

And did the countenance divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among those dark Satanic mills

Bring me my bow of burning gold

Bring me my arrows of desire

Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold

Bring me my chariot of fire

I will not cease from mental fight

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Til we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land

Now it has been suggested that

Steve's song

which was specially written

for this occasion

may have certain auto-suggestive

qualities to it

from which the sick may derive

some internal benefit.

Therefore those less fortunate than us

will be brought before Steve

in invalid chairs which we shall

be providing, if I may say...

free of charge.

I see it all before me

My past of restless wander

An evil heart within me

An evil head to hold

But in my hour of darkness

A sun began to shine

A sweeping spirit moved me

A shining light was mine

I see a pasture

All green and gold

A shepherd walking

$0 brave and bold

A congregation

All on their knees

His arms outstretching

To you and me

You and me

We need His hand to guide us

Along this chosen road

We need His love to save us

And bear our heavy load

His pain was not for nothing

His tears were not in vain

What can a man believe in

If not in Jesus name

I see a chapel

High in the sky

Someone is waiting

A tear in His eye

I see Him calling

I see Him smile

And in His arms

A little child

His door is open

To everyone

I kneel before Him

My time has come

O Father, Father

Your children call

Defend our mothers

Forgive us all

Forgive us all

In one evening in the National Stadium

49,000 people gave themselves

to God and Flag through Steven Shorter

- Conform!

- We conform!

Above all we must follow the example

of a young man who found repentance...

who found faith...

who found God...

who found all of these things...

who found the Word.

And now he is here with you tonight.

To our shining example.

To the light.

To the path.

To a way.

What does he think I am?

Steve, you could stop all this now.

And I want you to.

Why?

I'm not asking you

to feel anything for me.

It's not that at all. It's just...

I think you must go away somewhere.

You really need to. Honestly.

My parents have got this place

in the country and...

they're away at the moment.

I think we should go there.

What did you say?

What did you say?

I said I think we should go away.

Oh, yeah?

Like everybody...

You want something.

It's obvious what you want, isn't it?

What is it?

Steve, let me see.

Steve... Take your shirt off.

Come on.

How long have you been like this?

I thought your act was

only pretending.

Steve, you've got to stop this.

You must stop it now.

Steve... What is it you want?

What do you want?

I then found out he was

seeing this girl secretly.

And I say secretly.

Otherwise I would have known.

Yeah, I was about to break it up

but I said to myself wait...

Isn't he entitled to something?

I mean, he gives of himself so much.

Isn't he entitled to his own

small corner of the world?

But I guess in this deal

there just are no small corners.

What would you say if...

if I asked you to marry me?

Steve, it wouldn't work.

I'm very selfish probably

when I say this but...

it could only be on my terms.

Come here.

I'm a very private person.

I'm very possessive.

We'd never be alone together.

Not really alone.

September 25th.

The Federated Records Award

Giving Dinner in London.

Miss Ritchie, is there anything

you'd like to say

concerning Steve's recent

Stadium appearance?

No, I've got nothing to say.

- Nothing at all?

- No.

Well, what do you think about

tonight's Award?

I think it's very... remarkable.

Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have your attention, please?

Thank you.

Now this is the moment you all

have been waiting for.

What else can I say but...

Steven Shorter!

Now a little-known fact

concerning the gentlemen

about to make

the presentation this evening

is that before becoming

a director of Federated Records

Leo Stanley was a songwriter.

Now I don't want to say

that his songs were bad

but we had to re-write them

before he could throw them away.

So, at this time, won't you

join me in welcoming

the Darling of the Wax World,

Leo Stanley!

My lords, ladies and gentlemen...

and Steven Shorter.

I think I speak for you all when I say,

Steve, we're all your fans.

What we have here is

but a small token

of our respect, admiration

and gratitude.
