Friday, July 17th, uh,

with Henry Fonda in Bel Air.

You asked questions that it take such a long time for me

to try to find answers to,

'cause I don't think about those things.

I don't think of my influence at all.

I'm glad it's passed as far as I'm concerned.

Are you ready folks? Bring it in. Boys.

I know people speak of me as the typical American,

trustworthy, loyal, full of integrity and so on.

I read it, but it doesn't mean anything to me.

It's impossible to capture in words the splendor

Can we doubt that only

a divine providence placed this land, this island of freedom

here as a refuge for all those people in the world

who yearn to breathe free?

Well, as long as I'm an outlaw anyways,

maybe I can do something.

Maybe I can just find out something, just scrounge

around and maybe find out what it is that's wrong

and see, think something can be done about it.

I thought it all out clear my, I can't, I don't know enough.

I'll confess that I've been a little afraid to suggest

what I'm going to suggest.

I'm more afraid not to.

Then, then what Doc?

Then it don't matter. I I'll be all around in the dark.

I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look,

wherever there's a fight.

So hungry people can eat.

I'll be there wherever there's a cop beating up a guy.

I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when

they're mad and I'll be in the way.

Mann came

to our community when I was 10 or 11.

The professor, uh, wants

to ask a great-grandfather a question.

Uh, can you define for me

when the native indigenous people of America

says creator or God, what does that mean to you?

And the great-grandfather told the professor,

you must get a adding machine

bigger than the biggest building.

And you need 300 people to help.

They will count every human being in all the world

and every animal that's in the world.

You must put him on the machine.

Hawk had.

Then you must also count every day since the beginning

of the human and before.

And then you must count every star

that fills the nighttime sky.

And the summarization

or the total of all that life in the universe is what God is

and is what the creator is.

It means that the creator is in every tree

and the creator is in every wind, every thunder, every rain.

The one big soul belongs to everybody.

There can't be any such thing as civilization

unless people have a conscience.

'cause if people touch God anywhere, where is it?

Except through their conscience.

And what is anybody's conscience except a little piece

of the conscience of all men that ever lived?

But you're not setting myself up as a lawyer.

What you know about law? I don't have to hurt me

President.

I'm playing Abraham Lincoln.

I've been solicited by many friends to become a candidate

for the legislature.

My politics are short

and sweet like the old woman's dance Studio wanted

to do a picture of a young Mr.

Lincoln And I, uh, resisted it

because, uh, to me,

I didn't think I was any Lincoln character.

And sometime later they assigned Ford to the picture.

And uh, they had evidently told him

that they thought I should do it, but that I didn't want to.

And evidently he said, well, let me talk to him.

And I never met this man

and I, so I was told to go and see Mr. Ford.

I was under contract with the studio

and I went in there, never met him before.

And this man with a slouch hat and a coat collar up

and the handkerchief, the typical.

And uh, he sort of looked up at me and scowled

and he said words that you can't see on television,

you see. And uh,

I think his first words was something like,

what's all the s**t of what you not want to, I, uh, Lincoln,

I think he's the f*****g president.

He's a young jack leg lawyer from Springfield

for twice site.

And that's how he intimidated me, persuaded me.

You remember where you are. Do you recognize this? No.

No I don't. That's the Damnest place move.

I have no idea where the hell we are. Now where is it?

Where you did is this where over there is

where you did the walk in Lincoln

and you walked up the road, if you remember. I do.

And the next thing you know, they're

My dad's office looked down on the courthouse square

and he took me with him and went up into his office

and watched from the window.

Oh nice. And there was this young black that they had

arrested on suspicion of rape.

And this mob started to collect.

I know the mayor, he was on horseback.

He rode with two assistance also on horseback,

rode into the middle of this mob trying

to quell them and calm them.

They damn near lynched the mayor.

That's how outta control they were.

You couldn't believe that they would, you know,

overpower the law.

Force their way in.

Get this guy out of a cell, drag him through the streets,

hang him from a lamp post riddling with bullets

and then drag him in back of an automobile.

It was an experience I will never forget.

It was so horrifying.

I know that my dad never lectured.

We watched and when it was all over

and we went home, he didn't talk about it.

Well it was a great shock to me.

after he was condemned to die.

It has been printed in newspapers in this

book in many places.

But if you should destroy every printed copy,

it would still endure in the language

because a great many literary people know it by heart.

If it had not been for these thing,

I might have lived out my life talking at street corners

to scorning men,

I might have die unmarked, unknown.

A failure. Now we are not a failure.

Never in our full life could we hope to do so much work

for tolerance, for justice,

for man's understanding of man

as now we do by accident.

Our words, our lives,

our pain, nothing.

The taking of our lives.

The lives of a good shoemaker

and a poor fish peddler, all

that last moment belongs to us.

That agony is our triumph.

We got no chance to us little people, they're out

to get me and they'll do it.

If you found those guys and they swore

and a stack of bibles a mile high that they did the murder,

it still wouldn't do any good.

I had an interview today as a matter of fact,

and the man interviewing me who talked about

that people think of me as a, as a man who has something

to say and I denied it.

I said John Steinbeck had something to say.

And uh, and Reggie Rose has something to say in, in 12.

who I think recognizes a good part when I read it.

And I love to play it.

And if there's, uh, something to be told

or message, it's not mine.

It's it's the author's.

That's the way you tell it.

And what I learned very gradually was that it was therapy

for a very shy, self-conscious young man.

I was wearing a mask.

It was like hiding behind the character.

They had no sugar, no salt, nothing. You just boiled rice.

By this time I was under contract

He could sell anything.

And the first thing I knew, he had dragged me out

to Hollywood and he sold me to Walter Ger, who had no idea

who I was to make movies or no in the summer.

And I could go back to New York in my beloved

theater in the winter.

Excuse me ma'am. He said for you to wait. Thank you ma'am.

I had no ambition to be a movie actor.

And I thought, well, you know, I think they're crazy,

but I'll take their money and go back to New York

Somebody. Somebody's asking

when will wounded justice

line prostrate on the streets of Selma Birmingham

and communities all over the south be lifted from this dust

of shame terrain, supreme among the children of men?

It will not be long

because truth press, the earth will rise again.

How long? Not long

'cause of the moral universe is long,

but it bends toward justice.

How long? Not long. Not long.

Because my eyes have seen the glory

of the coming of the Lord.

He's traveling out the where the sword.

Yes, he's loose.

The hateful lightning of his terrible Swiss sword.

His truth is marching on

This symbol is from the America

in republic.

The surface of the earth crusted a thin hard crust.

And as the sky became pale, so the earth became pale,

the first crust broke and the dust formed.

Every moving thing lifted the dust into the air.

Men and women huddled in their houses

and they tied handkerchiefs over their noses when they

went out and

Forever one of them there was 10,

15 families throw right out of their homes.

A hundred folks and no place to live.

But on the road, the ranches, the Peters', the Perrys,

the Georges one right after the other, they got thrown out.

Half the folks you

and me know throw right down into the road.

The cars of the migrant people crawled out

of the side roads onto the great cross country highway

and they took the migrant way to the west.

The families which had been units

of which the boundaries were a house at night of farm

by day changed their boundaries in the long hot light

moving slowly westward.

But at night they integrated with any group. They found,

I'm going down the road feel

and I am going down the

road feel

and I'm going down the

road feeling better.

Oh lordy, I ain't going

to be treated this away.

And when the sun went down, perhaps 20 families

and 20 cars were there.

The 20 families became one family.

The children were the children of all.

The loss of home became one loss.

And the golden time in the west was one dream.

They were not farm men anymore, but migrant men.

And the thought, the planning, the long staring silence

that had gone out to the fields went now

Can we pull up here and sleep? Well sure.

Be proud to have you. What state you from? Oklahoma? Huh?

They spoke of the future. Wonder what it's like out there.

Well, the pictures sure do look nice.

I seen one where it's hot and fine and walnut trees

and berries and right

behind it's a tall up mountain covered with snow.

That's a pretty thing to see.

The Joe family moved slowly westward up into the mountains

of New Mexico, past the pinnacles

and pyramids of the upland.

They climbed into the high country of Arizona

and the stars flowed down in a slow cascade

over the western horizon.

A border guard stopped them. Where you going to California?

Got the desert yet said Tom

and I hear she's a son of a b***h.

The truck moved on into the evening

and the edge of the sun struck the rough horizon

and turned the desert red.

He pulled to an all night gas station and filled the tank

and the radiator and filled the crank case.

There's the desert. They say, look out for the desert

so you don't get hung up.

Take plenty of water in case you get hung up.

What a place. I'd just like to walk across it.

People done it. They could. We could.

That must have died too. Well we ain't out our s**t.

They drove through Tehachapi in the morning glow

and the sun came up behind them

and then suddenly they saw the Great valley below them,

the vineyards, the orchards, the peach trees

and the walnut groves and the dark green patches of oranges

and PA said God Almighty.

Ruthie and Winfield scrambled down from the car

and then they stood silent and awestruck.

The distance was thinned with haze and the land grew softer

and softer in the distance.

Ruthie whispered, it's California

And that was Bait

I guess so. Yeah.

Do you feel that there's a part of Tom Joe in you?

No. When did you get to know Steinbeck?

Well, it was after I'd done the film.

We just went on a tour of bars and got drunk

and we were never intimate.

Close, close. I think we had admiration for each other.

Now I, I wrote down, uh, something he said of you,

he said, my impressions of Hank are of a man reaching

but unreachable.

Gentle, but capable of a sudden wild

and dangerous violence, sharply critical of others,

but equally self-critical.

Caged and fighting the bars,

but timid of the light viciously opposed to external

restraint, imposing an iron slavery on himself.

His face is a picture of opposites in conflict.

Is he accurate?

I don't know. That's, those are steinbeck's words.

I I would never think

of me when I read those words.

Opposites in conflict.

You're about to bust a gut

There wasn't a single family in town that wasn't akin

to one of the boys in company A.

We knew some of our boys would die.

We didn't know which ones of course,

but everybody tried not to think about it.

Your son Richard Todd killed in action.

Everybody stuck by their radios.

We were thinking about our boys.

It couldn't get much worse, but it did get worse.

This was war. War brought right here to our little town.

There were more telegrams.

There was one for old man Landry about his grandson,

Jamie who'd been an orphan.

One for the whites and the Greenbergs

and two for the Dunlaps.

The two Dunlap boys had always stuck together.

The war was here now right here with us

in every home in town.

This was what we had to fear and what we had to fight.

Well, I don't wanna be here. I wanna be out there.

I'm sick and tired of being a lousy spectator.

I just happen to believe in this thing

and I wanna feel I'm good enough to be in it.

How significant were you at three years in the Navy?

I didn't like a minute of it.

Of course, with a beginner like Hank on the team,

we'll have to allow a slight handicap.

He probably doesn't even know where to start.

Although I learned a great deal.

Well, oil, my roller skates, we did the boy and injustice.

He's going at this like a veteran.

A lot of it was going to school.

I sailed through this uh, bootcamp for officers

and came out as the head of the class

that impressed the s**t out of people.

And I'm an eager beaver.

And I said I want to go to the forward area.

Said to me, that's where the action was.

I was a typical even at the age of 37, 38, by this time

I was a typical eager beaver who wanted

to shoot it Japanese.

So what happened to that bronze star?

Uh, Peter lost it. I'd given it to Peter.

Were you angry with Peter when he lost it?

No. Meant nothing to me.

These boys would never have to surrender

because we at home would never let them down.

We knew that all America would learn

what we had learned the hard way

that this is everybody's war.

Everybody's war is

in Los Angeles.

I put up your hand.

It's all right brother. You will.

The oxbow incident handled from

from

his man of war

up,

You knew about the dropping

of the atomic bomb, didn't you?

Before it was dropped.

Did you realize what that, what that was gonna be?

Not totally, because I had no idea what kind

of devastation it would create.

It was just something new, bigger bomb.

And I went up to 10 yian with my boss, uh, commander Keke.

We briefed the pilots about where he was going

and what marks to look for.

And the next thing I knew we hear about Hiroshima,

which sort of took you back.

I must say I can only wish that

they had never thought of making it in the first place

and never made an atomic bomb.

I'm against all of it.

So that's what we did.

And August 6th, 1945, a plane like this

dropped the first atomic bomb on the city of Oshima.

Three days later, after no surrender,

another plane like this dropped the second bomb on Nagasaki.

That was the one that convinced him for Ito

we could systematically drop these

and decimate the entire Japanese population.

I wish they just said, well

that's dangerous. Let's don't touch it.

That's not the nature of man though, is it? No.

Do you think it will eventually destroy us?

That's when I started to become less friendly with Duke,

They'd never indicated any political leanings.

And suddenly these two characters are naming names

of communists in the business, putting 'em on blacklists.

Did you ever get friendly with them again after that

With Duke?

A little bit warmer.

He was a very nice guy and uh, he had a sense of humor too.

This is Alfred Hitchcock speaking.

In the past I have given you many kinds

of suspense pictures,

The difference lies in the fact that this is a true story,

that are stranger than all the fiction

Oh,

And I'm not there.

My personal life was disintegrating but very slowly.

I wasn't even aware of it for a long time.

At what point did you become aware of it?

Well, I guess after we moved

east when I was doing Mr. Roberts.

Is it incurable? No case is incurable.

I want her to have the best there is the best for her

And that's when Francis had to first go to a home.

Here's your bag honey. I don't know what it was.

It was not a place where you were committed

but uh, for disturbed people.

Mine, honey, Did you ever know

what caused a disturbance?

No. A lot of that I've put outta my mind so

that it's almost a blank.

And uh, I never dreamed that it would be anything permanent.

It was just a board to have a wife who wasn't always Well

Is it, is it difficult to talk about that time for you?

Well it ain't easy, you know,

I don't, I don't like to talk about it

or be reminded uh,

of what happened.

Mile Mr. Roberts and Indiana Kent.

And how did the children find out?

They were too young to be told the truth.

So we just simply said that mother had

died and the hospital.

But I've been criticized for not telling them the truth.

I still think I was right

When they found out.

Did they blame you at all?

Were they angry with you? Did they

Say anything? No. No. There was

never dialogue about it at all.

When Peter did Easy Rider, how did you react to the scene

where Peter is in the uh, statue and he's on an LSD trip

You know, it's hard to say what difference

Do you think people mistrust

You mean I wrote a book?

That's true. The hope Kna is then Popularist mi

Nixon ass tricky.

Joe Cantwell public enemy number one.

Now don't get me wrong, I've got a lot

of respect for William Russell. Ah,

Thank you Joe. But

I don't think he's got the people's touch.

May may the best man win.

Whats more senator may the best man win

Testimony shall least is can two five.

What about this integration business?

You don't have to worry about my

administration and that's a promise.

Nice thing about you, Joe, is

that you can sound like a liberal

but it heart you in America.

Nixon of course is just poisoned to me.

I started hating Nixon when he whipped Helen Hagen.

Douglas intimating that she was a red and a pinko and so on

and such f*****g lies.

You ever heard innuendo?

Well Bill, here we are.

The main event, like they say

The main event.

He was such a shift to the fact that he was our president,

Self-made man with a self-made issue.

Your imaginary communist mafia.

Now I got here is not the question.

What matters is I am here,

I in there is the best man and under

And I'm releasing my pledge delegates with instructions

to support Governor John Merwin.

You can't. I can and I have merwin's. Nobody.

Well he is now somebody

The United States of America.

I don't understand You. I know you don't

because you have no sense

of responsibility toward anybody or anything.

And that is a tragedy in a man.

And it is a disaster in a president.

You don't understand me. You don't understand politics.

You don't understand this country the way it is

and the way we are.

You're a fool.

Look, I admit that Henry Fond is a decent, sensible,

honest man, but he can't be elected president,

Not with those qualifications.

And I am of course happy that the best man won.

I am here to tell you this, that power is not a toy

that we give to good children.

It's a weapon. And the strong man takes it and he uses it.

And if you don't go down there

and beat Joe Cantwell to the floor

with this very dirty stick

and you've got no business in this big league

because if you don't fight, this job is not for you

and it never will be

Henry Fonder.

And so one by one these

compromises, these small corruptions

Don't want power as corruption already.

Well, art, how does it end? This sort of thing.

Where does it end

In the grave son, where the dust is neither good

nor bad, just nothing.

I am Colorado River.

Hello as is folks. Lamb, milk and honey.

Detour.

Just Where do you think you're going?

Oh, we're strangers here, Mr.

We heard about there was work in a place

called Tavarus. Yeah,

Well you are heading the wrong way.

What's more? We don't want no more Okies in this town.

There ain't enough work here for them that's already here.

Which way it at Mr.

Well you'll turn right around and head north

and don't you come back until the cotton's ready.

You understand

That Stop under swoosh out

began in California

Easy rider ship as

16 Colorado River,

ed Mark Californian Beck from Earth to in the building.

And I suppose in the sense I'm a competition then

with my father because I like

to be the guy next door only these days.

The guy next door is far from being stoic

and uh, he smokes pot.

He understands that he hates his mother

and his father doesn't want to go to war,

doesn't believe the politicians, doesn't believe the clergy,

doesn't believe his teachers.

So he has to reject uh, all those things that were set up

as being the guiding lights for him.

I found myself somewhere in the same position.

That's why I say like, I feel like I'm the guy next door

because I sit inside my business.

Uh, there's no place for me inside the walls

of a motion picture studio.

Their idea of the guy next door is still my father.

But 40 years younger

or 20 years younger, uh, times they are changing

as some famous poet said.

And you gotta reflect the change of times.

Er is the it reservoir for the Pacific Gas

and Electric Company

industry atmosphere,

Pacific Gas in the electric.

I think water is becoming

a major problem all over the country.

There are still companies

that are illegally dumping poisonous waste in just

yards or someplace and don't say anything about it.

I think that's where our danger is.

Too many people think it's progress in

the the right direction.

Do you think big business is out

of control in this country?

No, I don't think they're outta control.

I think they're getting more and more in control.

I think Reagan is, he's for big business.

He's doing everything he can to help big business.

As Americans, we are just as capable of atrocities

of mistakes as all the other people in the world.

We're no better, but we're no worse.

And it's important for people to realize that, that just

because the system says something is right, that it's right,

maybe it's wrong.

Well, once you face that, you have

to start reexamining a lot of things.

Jane found median room from Vietnam.

Steam.

I wanna go back to the fossil fuel people

because Exxon knew in 1977

that what they were doing was poisoning the atmosphere.

And they said, well, it's not as bad as a, as a,

a nuclear war or famine

are these people whose hearts

and souls have been so distorted by greed

or what, what, who are these people?

Deloitte is in

mind attractive.

What's become of lighthearted show folk.

I know that most people come here to this kind of show,

to hear jokes and to laugh and be amused,

but from the kind of reaction that there is to tonight,

I get the feeling that, in fact,

if people are talking about things that are important,

that mean something to them, and if they're sincere

and you know that we're talking about all

of us together, don't you prefer that?

I wanted to know because it's, it's,

it's difficult when you're an actor, people always like

to classify human beings.

Mm-hmm. If you're an actor, then you don't get into anything

else, you know, and you've got a,

you've got an ad coming up, right?

Yeah. Right. Your eyes are glassing over.

Do you find it hard? They're signaling me again. Right.

Do you find it hard to, uh, to interrupt Jane,

uh, when she's,

He's the one that's hard to interrupt.

Am I right? Impossible

To interrupt Peter.

Once upon a time in the West, and

I enjoyed Sergio.

He's a real character, so I committed.

Still not sure why he'd cast me.

I had thought in the meantime, what could I do

to make myself look more like a villain?

And I grew a mustache

and a little divot to look something like

the guy that killed Lincoln.

And I got brown contact lenses

to cover my baby blues.

And I arrived with a set with the contacts and the beard,

and Sergio took one look and his head off.

And it is not what he wanted at all.

He wanted the baby blues and the found the face

Don't tell me you are Henry

Fonda, please come.

I'm looking for the Tucker Hall Community Theater.

My agent gave me this address,

but obviously there's been some mistake.

Oh, well it's not really a mistake. No, it's more

Like a lie.

Afraid I don't understands.

Seven o'clock I'm doing on stage at eight 30.

I've never missed a curtain in my life.

Mr. Fonda, I proudly present you with your next career

president of the United States.

Jimmy Stewart put you up to this. Right?

This is your headquarters.

You are a presidential candidate.

Mrs. Findley, as we used to say back home,

a cat may have kittens in the oven,

but that don't make them biscuits.

Let me tell you something about my dream, Mr. President.

That does sound good, doesn't it? Mr. President? Sure.

You say, you say you are totally in completely

inexperienced, but inexperienced at what?

Inexperienced at corruption at, at pandering

to special interests at duplicity.

Mr. Fonda, you have something that no other candidate has.

It's, it's what I call spiritual honesty. Mr.

Fonda, you are the Quint essential American

and the only one who can bring

to this country the leadership it so desperately needs

Thank you.

President Reagan,

It's the motion picture that shows us all, not only

how we look and sound, but more important how we feel

Henry Fonder, ve

This GAFU measures a lot of fun. What do you think?

Yeah. And the fruit sides,

the virtual reality as a meeting for,

I always considered the GAFU master,

an ingenious invention of great educational value.

Gee, I always thought it was just a lot of fun.

Finley. I'm positive you can do anything you set your mind

to do, but I do not wish

to become the president of the United States.

And because I am so sure

that you could do anything you set your mind to.

If you do succeed in getting me nominated, I will not run.

He's gone because he didn't think it was possible.

No, he's gone because he didn't want to do it.

I knew too much about what about him?

What do you know about him? He's a communist.

I ain't, I ain't communist, but I'm, I'm called a radical

and a rebel most of the time. Politically

Okta is,

Um, it's impossible.

It'd be impossible for me to get up as much

as my heart might be full

and my head full of a cause

to face an audience in my character to talk about it.

I couldn't do that. This whole idea

of yours is stupid anyway.

Running an actor for president.

Oh, is that so Arthur, well, who do you want

to be our next president?

Ronald Reagan.

And don't gimme that.

Look Mark Finley. Ronald Reagan was never an actor.

And you know it

Beat.

Can we Begin our crusade?

Join together in a moment of silent prayer.

Reagan upsets me so that it's hard to talk about.

I think we're headed for disaster.

I'm surprised there isn't more opposition.

I think he's got us on a path now that, uh,

we're gonna be on that path for a long time.

Do you know Reagan? Yeah.

Friends or just acquaintances?

Acquaintance. Was he ever a good actor?

No. Is he now?

No. How did he get elected?

He's a hell of a speechmaker.

Government is not the solution to our problem.

Government is the problem.

He says the things that people want to hear.

He says them very convincingly

and with what sounds like sincerity.

And he's talking a language that people haven't heard

for a long time and it impresses them.

I listen to a Reagan speech and wanna throw up.

Who the hell is that?

I'm en checked Fond here.

What's your favorite fruit?

Apples. What kind?

It's not a commercial fruit

and half cents for each one.

Now I'm not gonna get rich, but it's gonna buy a lot

from Kennedy Center Oscars And

The winner is Robert Dero,

The Academy.

Do you feel that there is an art to the movies? I,

Yeah, I think De Niro is an artist.

How about yourself in that regard?

I don't think about it. I don't think

about myself like that.

I forgot my line.

So, uh, the director wrote them down for me. I just wanna,

Under Robert and Kun

Henry Fonda's performances always carry a special dignity

that shows us that there is no such thing as a small

or unimportant person.

I never think about Oscar. Did

You ever feel cheated?

That you never got the Oscar s**t?

No. No. It would embarrass me.

Getting the special officer for last year

was more difficult.

They wouldn't stop applauding.

They was standing ovation

and they wouldn't, they wouldn't stop.

And I just kept standing there with Bob Redford for

what seemed like five minutes and

before I could say a few words.

Everybody knows how I feel about the Oscar

and yet getting it the way I was is all right.

They're not telling you that you were the best this year.

You were better than Al Pacino, Robert Janero and who else?

It was for a body of work

and that that was an honor.

I appreciated that.

Henry, you have honored us over the years with your work

and it pleases us here tonight to be able to honor you

with our appreciation and this special Oscar.

Thank you Robert. Thank you.

And ya nun

as best actor on Triton

And the winner is Henry Fonda.

Would you attend the Oscar ceremonies this coming time?

If your picture is nominated,

I will not be there

and put up with that ship that, uh,

I watch it on tv. No way.

I know that he's watching right now

and I know that he's very, very honored and very happy

and surprised and I'll bet when he heard it just now,

I bet he said, Hey, ain't I lucky

as though luck had anything to do with it, dad, me

and all the grandchildren are coming

over with it right away.

Do you fear death?

Do I what? Fear. Fear Death? No.

Have you thought about it? No.

And nobody, nobody

Dear. Nobody

dying is not the worst

thing that can happen to a man.

Look at me. I've been dead for three days now

and I finally found my peace.

I've always tried to steer away from trouble,

but you seem to be looking for it all the time.

You can preserve a little of that illusion

that made my generation tick.

Maybe you'll do it in your own funny way,

but we'll be grateful.

Just the same. 'cause looking back

seems to me we were all a bunch of romantic fools

'cause the country ain't the same anymore.

And I'm already feeling a stranger myself.

This is why people like me gotta go

guess I'm talking like a damn preacher.

But it's your fault. What can you expect

of a national monument?

Well, if I've made any sense at all on

the four days that I've talked to you, you should understand

that I don't like myself.

I wish I was, you know, somebody better, smarter.

But look at the chances I've had to play all these

wonderful people and I've been able

to pretend I was those people.

And for somebody that doesn't like himself,

that's uh, that's great therapy.

Do you like yourself more now than,

than in the past or is it always

No, I don't feel I have good answers

to anything.
