to meet you outside the door.
- The boss is gonna come out?
- Yeah. Outside the door.
MOORE:
OK, great.A $20 million profit.
Will you step outside the door?
I know what you're thinking.
MAN:
Go and wait outsidethe door.
GUARD:
Don't takepictures of me, now, OK?
You want to go outside, sir?
TIA:
Hey, hey, hey!What the hell are you doing?
MOORE:
The boss is coming?Is he coming down? The boss?
Is he coming down?
[Car horn honks]
TIA:
Michael, the guy...the supplier that just left...
he told me the company was
just sold to Hershey's today.
This company?
Was sold to Hershey's?
- Today?
- Today.
MOORE:
Hershey. Today.They took over
Leaf North America.
Right? OK,
I got the right name now.
Is the boss coming down?
No? You said
he was coming down.
GUARD:
He's not coming down.MOORE:
He's not coming down?Well, you tricked us.
[Sirens wailing]
Oh, man. We've been hoodwinked.
[Tires screeching]
Police are here. Heads up.
- How you doing?
- Good.
- I'm Michael Moore.
- Hi, Michael Moore.
I'm making a documentary film
for the BBC... What's that?
We've been asked
to ask you to leave.
GUARD:
Turn that off, please.
MOORE:
They madea big announcement today...
that Hershey
is taking over Leaf.
- So?
- We just want to talk to...
I understand that, but they
don't want to talk to you...
and this is private property.
They handed out a press release.
We're the press.
We'll leave.
We're not on public property?
- That's right.
- Correct.
- This is private property.
- That's correct.
I asked you
to turn that off.
We'll leave.
Yeah, turn off all the stuff.
This is Michael Moore.
If he asks you again...
we're gonna confiscate
the equipment.
MOORE:
All right,all equipment, off.
All right?
Officer, there's no reason...
put away those handcuffs.
[Door closing]
MOORE:
"Wait, wait.""What's your name? Let me
see your driver's license."
I said, "No, no, no.
You don't understand."
"That's enough."
The guy's getting ready
to read me my rights.
And I said, "Wait a minute.
"You can't arrest me.
I'm on a book tour."
[Audience laughing]
I'm an author.
You can't arrest authors.
[Chuckling]
And the private security
guy's going...
"Arrest him. Arrest him.
We told him.
"We told him
to get off our property...
"and he refused to leave.
"He's trespassing.
Yeah, arrest him."
"Well, wait a minute.
That's not what happened.
"They told us to come outside
and wait for the boss."
"No, we didn't.
That's a lie."
Of course, he'd forgotten
about the people...
that he had pushed
out the door with me.
And so I said
to the officer...
"Officer,
let's roll the videotape."
[Laughing]
I am supposed
to keep them on schedule.
Yes. And thank God
the 2:
00 appointment...was canceled today
or else we'd be in trouble.
Yes, I am, and sometimes
I'm not very popular with them.
Because I have to be a meanie.
MOORE:
Well,she wasn't really a meanie...
but this was
my wedding anniversary...
and my wife
had just flown into town.
I had to find a way
to lose the escort...
and then
I remembered something...
that Rick from Cheap Trick
had suggested.
You ask them to go get you
some cigarettes.
Then you call security.
And while they're out trying
to get you some cigarettes...
even though you don't smoke...
you call security and say...
"This guy,
he's wearing a suit."
And you describe him,
exactly what he looks like...
And you say,
"I don't care what he says.
"He's bothering
the daylights out of me.
"He's nuts. No matter what.
Get rid of him."
- That'll work?
- Oh, yeah.
Tell 'em he's a stalker?
Yeah. But you gotta be
a little mean-spirited.
Yeah. That'll be hard for me.
I doubt it.
[Both laughing]
Can you go get me...
um, like a, uh... something...
Like if you go through
those doors out there...
I think there's
a Coke machine or something.
- Right. Coffee downstairs.
- Coffee downstairs?
You have to go out through
those doors, first, right?
and get me one of those.
- OK. Coffee?
- Thanks a lot.
Coffee's great. Thanks.
Thank you very much.
[Chattering]
I would say yes.
She's constantly threatening me.
You can see she has
that stalker look in her eyes.
OFFICER:
So you don't want heranywhere near you?
No. And if you see her
around here...
what's in that photograph.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Could you please
put the coffee over here?
I need you to leave
Why?
They're taking her away.
- How is he gonna get back?
- Please walk this way.
OK. Wait a minute!
This is not right.
Yeah, OK. All right.
All right,
we should tell her now.
It's just a joke.
MOORE:
Uh-oh. Oh, my...Where is he taking her?
Oh, God. Oh, my God.
All right, here.
I'll be right back.
Hang on a second, all right?
[All laughing]
You're a sick individual.
We only do this
to people we love.
Get over there.
Go sign your books.
She's right back
to ordering me again. See?
[Country western music playing]
MOORE:
You know what I hateabout being in these airports?
Always having to step aside
because someone who's perfectly
capable of walking to the plane
is getting a free ride.
Gone 500 miles
before the day is done
I got a bad case
Of the homesick
truck driver blues
MOORE:
Would you tell uswhy 13,000 people...
have been laid off here
since 1993?
At a time
of record profits...
when you've made about
$6 billion?
WOMAN:
We wanted to keepthis company competitive...
that we needed to do
something today and now...
in order to ensure...
that this company
stayed healthy and profitable.
MOORE:
But it's obvious thatyou're healthy and profitable.
It's $6 billion.
That's a huge profit.
WOMAN:
No, that's not correct.That's not the...
- Six billion's not huge?
- That's not our profits.
- That's the profit.
- No, it's not.
What is the profit since 1993?
- It's, um...
- You're talking annual profits?
Yes, annual profits since 1993.
Since '93?
If you total it, yes.
That's when the layoffs started.
That's what I'm saying.
During that time of layoffs,
you made, take home, $6 billion.
Do you have any plans of
rehiring any of these people...
now that you've made $6 billion
in the last 3 years?
Well, we are a company
that is promotion from within...
so we are always hiring
because of...
The people who lost their jobs...
Are you gonna bring them back?
We can't say what
we would do as far as anybody...
- Are you doing well?
- Sure, we're doing well.
So, why not share
It's good for the country,
don't you think?
MOORE:
How wouldyou feel about a law...
that prohibits
Procter and Gamble...
when they're making a profit?
I'm not in a position
to really be able...
to respond to that kind of
legislation at this point.
A certificate of achievement...
