1
00:01:39,138 --> 00:01:44,138
Was that in 1913 or 17?
I can't remember now.
2
00:01:45,311 --> 00:01:50,311
I'm beginning to forget
all the people that/ used to know, see?
3
00:01:54,988 --> 00:01:59,241
Do I remember Louise Bryant?
4
00:01:59,242 --> 00:02:04,242
Why, of course.
I cou/dn 't forget her if/ tried.
5
00:02:08,001 --> 00:02:09,501
I can't...
6
00:02:09,502 --> 00:02:12,963
I might sort of scratch my memory,
7
00:02:12,964 --> 00:02:15,841
but not at the moment.
8
00:02:15,842 --> 00:02:20,178
You know, things go
and come back again.
9
00:02:20,179 --> 00:02:23,515
It was Christopher Street,
10
00:02:23,516 --> 00:02:26,768
and I was thinking about
11
00:02:26,769 --> 00:02:29,354
another street down there instead,
12
00:02:29,355 --> 00:02:33,108
until it came back
that it was Christopher Street.
13
00:02:33,109 --> 00:02:37,988
Sometimes I have lapses like that.
14
00:02:37,989 --> 00:02:40,198
I'd forgotten all about them.
15
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:43,535
Were they socialists?
16
00:02:43,536 --> 00:02:45,662
I guess they must've been,
17
00:02:45,663 --> 00:02:47,873
but I don't think they were
of any importance.
18
00:02:47,874 --> 00:02:49,958
I don't remember them at all.
19
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:53,003
I know that Jack went around
with Mabel Dodge,
20
00:02:53,004 --> 00:02:56,548
and then he went around
with another gal,
21
00:02:56,549 --> 00:03:00,344
and then he went around
with Louise Bryant.
22
00:03:00,345 --> 00:03:02,846
I know there were shifts back and forth,
23
00:03:02,847 --> 00:03:05,807
but it never occurred to me...
24
00:03:05,808 --> 00:03:09,186
It never impinged on
my own personal life.
25
00:03:09,187 --> 00:03:10,562
I like baseball.
26
00:03:10,563 --> 00:03:13,732
I don't know what
the outside world thought of them.
27
00:03:13,733 --> 00:03:16,151
But they were a couple.
28
00:03:16,152 --> 00:03:19,696
I mean, you always spoke of
Louise Bryant and Jack Reed.
29
00:03:19,697 --> 00:03:23,867
I recall his telling me
that he had two ambitions
30
00:03:23,868 --> 00:03:25,410
when he came to college.
31
00:03:25,411 --> 00:03:28,538
One was to be elected
president of his class.
32
00:03:28,539 --> 00:03:31,416
He didn't know anyone in the class.
No one knew him.
33
00:03:31,417 --> 00:03:34,920
The other was to make a million dollars
34
00:03:34,921 --> 00:03:37,422
by the time he was 25.
35
00:03:37,423 --> 00:03:41,885
Now, my idea about Jack Reed
is probably different from most.
36
00:03:41,886 --> 00:03:46,640
But I knew him well.
I knew he was a man of strong views.
37
00:03:46,641 --> 00:03:48,767
I knew he was independent.
38
00:03:48,768 --> 00:03:51,937
And I have an idea,
I may be wrong of this,
39
00:03:51,938 --> 00:03:54,564
that his wife was a Communist
40
00:03:54,565 --> 00:03:58,735
and that his wife had influenced him,
as any wife does,
41
00:03:58,736 --> 00:04:02,989
as you know and I know.
42
00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:04,324
Louise Bryant?
43
00:04:04,325 --> 00:04:08,328
Well, I thought she was something
of an exhibitionist.
44
00:04:08,329 --> 00:04:12,082
No, I'm not gonna talk about people.
Don't fool yourself.
45
00:04:12,083 --> 00:04:16,670
No, sir. I'm not... I'm not
46
00:04:16,671 --> 00:04:18,839
a purveyor of neighbourhood gossip,
or anything of the kind.
47
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:20,465
That's not my job.
48
00:04:20,466 --> 00:04:23,427
He was quiet.
49
00:04:23,428 --> 00:04:26,179
He was a nice fellow.
50
00:04:26,180 --> 00:04:31,180
I would say, if I met him,
I would say he was a nice fellow.
51
00:04:31,352 --> 00:04:34,813
He was, however, a fighting fellow
52
00:04:34,814 --> 00:04:36,815
in regards to principles.
53
00:04:36,816 --> 00:04:41,319
Isaid, I think,
that a guy Who's always interested
54
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,197
in the condition of the world
and changing it
55
00:04:44,198 --> 00:04:46,616
either has no problems of his own
56
00:04:46,617 --> 00:04:48,869
or refuses to face them.
57
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:51,997
Jack”.
Well, I wouldn't call him a playboy,
58
00:04:51,998 --> 00:04:53,457
but some people did.
59
00:04:53,458 --> 00:04:58,170
Jack Reed's life, short as it was,
60
00:04:58,171 --> 00:05:00,130
happened at a time,
61
00:05:00,131 --> 00:05:04,009
and all of us, after all,
are the victims of our time and place,
62
00:05:04,010 --> 00:05:07,846
when he had the opportunity,
as a reporter,
63
00:05:07,847 --> 00:05:11,308
to be in some very exciting
and dramatic places.
64
00:05:11,309 --> 00:05:15,812
It isn't everybody can
be buried in the Kremlin,
65
00:05:15,813 --> 00:05:18,190
and he's the only American.
66
00:05:18,191 --> 00:05:21,902
Born in Portland, Oregon.
67
00:05:21,903 --> 00:05:24,404
Now, isn't that something?
68
00:05:24,405 --> 00:05:26,364
- What's he hugging?
- A statue.
69
00:05:26,365 --> 00:05:29,367
Well, I can see that.
But what's it a statue of?
70
00:05:29,368 --> 00:05:31,036
It's just a statue, Mr Woodward.
71
00:05:31,037 --> 00:05:33,413
- How much is it?
- It's $75.
72
00:05:33,414 --> 00:05:35,415
- For a photograph?
- That's right, Mrs Rudisile.
73
00:05:35,416 --> 00:05:37,125
This is interesting, Mrs Trullinger.
74
00:05:37,126 --> 00:05:39,878
Not that it isn't very nice,
but it isn't a painting.
75
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:42,130
Mr Woodward,
I'd like you to look at this.
76
00:05:42,131 --> 00:05:44,299
- I think I see the intention here.
- Yes.
77
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:46,218
Eve dominates, you see?
78
00:05:46,219 --> 00:05:48,428
The dream dominates the dreamer.
79
00:05:48,429 --> 00:05:48,929
It's...
80
00:05:52,767 --> 00:05:54,726
It looks blurry to me.
81
00:05:54,727 --> 00:05:56,978
The other one looked blurry, too.
82
00:05:56,979 --> 00:06:00,398
I think that's the intention
of the photographer, Mr Woodward.
83
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:01,900
What? To be blurry?
84
00:06:01,901 --> 00:06:04,069
But perhaps if you looked at it
from a different point of view...
85
00:06:04,070 --> 00:06:05,987
Louise!
86
00:06:05,988 --> 00:06:10,988
This is you?
87
00:06:14,247 --> 00:06:19,247
Lovely figure.
88
00:06:24,966 --> 00:06:26,675
Louise, have you taken
leave of your senses?
89
00:06:26,676 --> 00:06:28,593
Don't be a fool, Paul.
90
00:06:28,594 --> 00:06:30,470
You think I'm a fool
because I object to my wife
91
00:06:30,471 --> 00:06:32,681
being displayed naked in front
of half the people I know...
92
00:06:32,682 --> 00:06:34,641
Yes. My God,
it's a work of art in a gallery.
93
00:06:34,642 --> 00:06:35,809
What's the matter with you?
94
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:38,019
You used to call Portland
a stuffy provincial coffin for the mind.
95
00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:39,187
It may be stuffy and provincial,
96
00:06:39,188 --> 00:06:41,314
but it also happens
to be a coffin where I earn a living.
97
00:06:41,315 --> 00:06:42,983
You can take your living
and fill up teeth with it,
98
00:06:42,984 --> 00:06:44,442
because I can earn my own living.
99
00:06:44,443 --> 00:06:45,610
I have my work.
100
00:06:45,611 --> 00:06:49,155
You consider a few articles in
The Oregonian and The Gazette work?
101
00:06:49,156 --> 00:06:50,782
No, I'll tell you
what your work is, Louise.
102
00:06:50,783 --> 00:06:52,868
It's making yourself
the centre of attention.
103
00:06:52,869 --> 00:06:56,162
It's shocking Louise Trullinger,
emancipated woman of Portland.
104
00:06:56,163 --> 00:06:58,707
Now, we're gonna say good night
to these people and go home.
105
00:06:58,708 --> 00:07:01,126
- I'm going to the Liberal Club.
- You're not going to the Liberal Club.
106
00:07:01,127 --> 00:07:04,379
- I'm going to the Liberal Club, Paul.
- No, you're not...
107
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:07,632
It's very nice, Mrs Trullinger. All of it.
108
00:07:07,633 --> 00:07:10,302
It's very gratifying to hear,
isn't it, Louise?
109
00:07:10,303 --> 00:07:14,973
Isn't it, Louise?
110
00:07:14,974 --> 00:07:18,393
Of course, you know
who is going to be at the Liberal Club.
111
00:07:18,394 --> 00:07:21,187
Patriotic Americans believe in freedom.
112
00:07:21,188 --> 00:07:25,025
And unless we are willing to take arms
to defend our heritage,
113
00:07:25,026 --> 00:07:29,863
we cannot call ourselves
patriotic Americans!
114
00:07:29,864 --> 00:07:31,990
I'm proud to be free.
115
00:07:31,991 --> 00:07:33,992
I'm proud to be an American.
116
00:07:33,993 --> 00:07:36,870
And if the man
we elected President decides
117
00:07:36,871 --> 00:07:38,747
that our freedoms are being threatened
118
00:07:38,748 --> 00:07:42,000
and that the world must
be made safe for democracy,
119
00:07:42,001 --> 00:07:46,504
then I know I won't be alone
in heeding the call of patriotism!
120
00:07:46,505 --> 00:07:49,007
What is this war about?
121
00:07:49,008 --> 00:07:51,760
Each man will have his own answer.
122
00:07:51,761 --> 00:07:56,761
I have mine. I'm ready to be called!
123
00:08:03,481 --> 00:08:05,774
Now, tonight we have with us
124
00:08:05,775 --> 00:08:09,861
the son of Margaret
and the late C.J. Reed of Portland,
125
00:08:09,862 --> 00:08:12,781
who has witnessed this war first-hand.
126
00:08:12,782 --> 00:08:16,242
And I, for one, see no reason
why we here at the Liberal Club
127
00:08:16,243 --> 00:08:21,243
shouldn't listen to what
Jack Reed has to say.
128
00:08:24,418 --> 00:08:29,418
What would you say
this war is about, Jack Reed?
129
00:08:38,599 --> 00:08:41,518
Profits.
130
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:46,519
What did he say?
131
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:50,318
Excuse me, Mr Reed.
Hello, my name is Louise Bryant
132
00:08:50,319 --> 00:08:51,569
and I am ajournalist.
133
00:08:51,570 --> 00:08:53,947
And I was wondering if you might
have time to give me an interview.
134
00:08:53,948 --> 00:08:55,240
I'm sorry, I don't. I don't do interviews.
135
00:08:55,241 --> 00:08:58,201
I had a piece in the Blast not long ago.
136
00:08:58,202 --> 00:09:03,202
- Berkman's Blast? Really?
- That's right.
137
00:09:05,042 --> 00:09:06,710
Well, when did you want
to do this interview?
138
00:09:06,711 --> 00:09:07,877
Now.
139
00:09:07,878 --> 00:09:09,087
I don't live here.
140
00:09:09,088 --> 00:09:11,214
- I live in a house by the river.
- Oh, really.
141
00:09:11,215 --> 00:09:15,301
MY, my, my. Two places.
142
00:09:15,302 --> 00:09:19,180
Yeah, I use this place as a studio.
143
00:09:19,181 --> 00:09:21,558
Do you like white lilies?
144
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,394
They're my favourite flowers.
145
00:09:24,395 --> 00:09:28,481
- You're not married, are you?
- No, I don't think I believe in marriage.
146
00:09:28,482 --> 00:09:29,691
- Are you married?
- Marriage?
147
00:09:29,692 --> 00:09:31,776
How could anyone believe in marriage?
148
00:09:31,777 --> 00:09:34,654
I bet your mother's glad
to see you back in Portland.
149
00:09:34,655 --> 00:09:37,323
Mother's glad when I'm not in jail.
Is this you?
150
00:09:37,324 --> 00:09:39,826
Yes. Do you like it?
151
00:09:39,827 --> 00:09:42,996
Yeah. I think they're...
152
00:09:42,997 --> 00:09:46,958
- A little blurry, but this one's very nice.
- Yes.
153
00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:50,336
It is. Now...
154
00:09:50,337 --> 00:09:52,422
Granted, the profit motive
in the world economy
155
00:09:52,423 --> 00:09:54,507
is a basic root cause for the war.
156
00:09:54,508 --> 00:09:56,926
Do you feel that those
Americans who are pro-war
157
00:09:56,927 --> 00:10:00,638
and who ascribe their motives
to patriotism are cynical or naive?
158
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:03,308
And, if they're cynical,
is it the cynicism of patriots
159
00:10:03,309 --> 00:10:04,934
who feel that without a profit motive,
160
00:10:04,935 --> 00:10:07,771
the power structure elite of this country
will not enter the war,
161
00:10:07,772 --> 00:10:09,272
even though they feel
that the containment
162
00:10:09,273 --> 00:10:11,524
of German militarism
may be necessary for...
163
00:10:11,525 --> 00:10:13,777
Ali right, Miss Bryant, do you want
an interview? Write this down.
164
00:10:13,778 --> 00:10:14,944
Are you naive enough to think
165
00:10:14,945 --> 00:10:17,405
containing German militarism
has anything to do with this war?
166
00:10:17,406 --> 00:10:19,949
Don't you understand that England
and France own the world economy
167
00:10:19,950 --> 00:10:21,451
and Germanyjust wants a piece of it?
168
00:10:21,452 --> 00:10:22,577
Keep writing, Miss Bryant.
169
00:10:22,578 --> 00:10:24,913
Miss Bryant, can't you grasp
that J.P. Morgan
170
00:10:24,914 --> 00:10:27,082
has loaned England and France
a billion dollars?
171
00:10:27,083 --> 00:10:29,167
And if Germany wins,
he won't get it back.
172
00:10:29,168 --> 00:10:30,919
More coffee?
America would be entering the war
173
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,212
to protect J.P. Morgan's money.
174
00:10:32,213 --> 00:10:33,505
If he loses it, we'll have a depression.
175
00:10:33,506 --> 00:10:34,756
So, the real question is,
176
00:10:34,757 --> 00:10:36,925
why do we have an economy
where the poor have to pay
177
00:10:36,926 --> 00:10:38,343
so the rich won't lose money?
178
00:10:38,344 --> 00:10:39,844
All right, now, what haven't we covered?
179
00:10:39,845 --> 00:10:42,514
Economic freedom for women
means sexual freedom,
180
00:10:42,515 --> 00:10:44,432
and sexual freedom
means birth control...
181
00:10:44,433 --> 00:10:46,226
Dissent! The Masses stands for dissent.
182
00:10:46,227 --> 00:10:47,602
We have a predominantly
183
00:10:47,603 --> 00:10:48,853
upper-middle class readership.
184
00:10:48,854 --> 00:10:51,564
So, we have to run around the country
raising money for the magazine
185
00:10:51,565 --> 00:10:56,565
any way we...
186
00:10:56,946 --> 00:10:59,489
What?
187
00:10:59,490 --> 00:11:02,075
Well, I'm thinking that I guess I...
188
00:11:02,076 --> 00:11:04,369
That I ought to offer you more coffee.
189
00:11:04,370 --> 00:11:07,455
I hadn't realised the hour, but
190
00:11:07,456 --> 00:11:10,125
I seem to have taken up
a lot of your time.
191
00:11:10,126 --> 00:11:14,379
Well, that's okay by me.
192
00:11:14,380 --> 00:11:17,465
Does this happen to you often?
193
00:11:17,466 --> 00:11:20,218
Not often enough.
194
00:11:20,219 --> 00:11:23,513
Well?
195
00:11:23,514 --> 00:11:25,223
We certainly have come a long way fast.
196
00:11:25,224 --> 00:11:27,475
Yeah.
197
00:11:27,476 --> 00:11:30,645
Do you want to take it a step further?
198
00:11:30,646 --> 00:11:33,857
Yeah.
199
00:11:33,858 --> 00:11:35,733
What would you think if I asked you
to do something
200
00:11:35,734 --> 00:11:38,153
that might seem a little selfish?
201
00:11:38,154 --> 00:11:40,238
Well, I... I think you should.
202
00:11:40,239 --> 00:11:42,907
Good. Good, because I'd like you
to take a look at my work
203
00:11:42,908 --> 00:11:44,409
and tell me what you think.
204
00:11:44,410 --> 00:11:46,870
You see, I really respect
your opinion so much.
205
00:11:46,871 --> 00:11:49,581
Well, it's odd,
because I was just gonna ask you
206
00:11:49,582 --> 00:11:50,748
if you had anything
I could take a look at.
207
00:11:50,749 --> 00:11:53,168
I know it's an imposition
but I'd be very grateful and you see,
208
00:11:53,169 --> 00:11:55,295
I've read everything
that you've ever written.
209
00:11:55,296 --> 00:11:57,213
Well, I'd be happy to do it. So, that's...
210
00:11:57,214 --> 00:11:58,965
Well, thank you.
211
00:11:58,966 --> 00:12:03,136
Well, then I... I'll get your coat.
212
00:12:03,137 --> 00:12:04,888
Oh, and I hope you won't
be gentle with me.
213
00:12:04,889 --> 00:12:06,389
- Gentle?
- I'm a serious writer.
214
00:12:06,390 --> 00:12:07,557
You can really be tough.
215
00:12:07,558 --> 00:12:09,350
No, I will be. No, I will be.
216
00:12:09,351 --> 00:12:11,394
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
217
00:12:11,395 --> 00:12:14,147
- Do you want me to leave?
- Not really, but I'm late.
218
00:12:14,148 --> 00:12:17,567
- Late at 6:00 in the morning?
- Yes. I have an appointment.
219
00:12:17,568 --> 00:12:19,444
Well, could I see you tomorrow night?
220
00:12:19,445 --> 00:12:20,737
I'm busy tomorrow night.
221
00:12:20,738 --> 00:12:23,198
- Because I'm leaving town the next day.
- Gee, I'm sorry.
222
00:12:23,199 --> 00:12:24,866
So, if you have time,
let me know what you think,
223
00:12:24,867 --> 00:12:27,535
and I'll send you a copy of the interview.
224
00:12:27,536 --> 00:12:30,538
Some interview, huh?
225
00:12:30,539 --> 00:12:33,249
Take a look sometime.
226
00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:36,753
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I understand.
227
00:12:36,754 --> 00:12:41,754
- Bye.
- Bye.
228
00:12:47,139 --> 00:12:49,933
Jack, dean
do you remember Mr Hardison?
229
00:12:49,934 --> 00:12:52,936
Used to be at the First Presbyterian
Church, up the hill.
230
00:12:52,937 --> 00:12:57,937
He's in Seattle now
at the big Plymouth church.
231
00:13:00,653 --> 00:13:03,404
What brings you out here, Jack?
232
00:13:03,405 --> 00:13:07,659
Just come out to see your mother?
233
00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:11,996
Mr Partlow, I just... I'm raising money
for this magazine that I write for.
234
00:13:11,997 --> 00:13:14,290
- What?
- I say, I'm raising money
235
00:13:14,291 --> 00:13:16,334
for this magazine that I write for!
236
00:13:16,335 --> 00:13:18,002
- Magazine? What magazine?
- Yes, sir.
237
00:13:18,003 --> 00:13:19,337
Well, it's called The Masses.
238
00:13:19,338 --> 00:13:21,172
- The what?
- The Masses!
239
00:13:21,173 --> 00:13:23,007
- The Masses.
- Masses.
240
00:13:23,008 --> 00:13:26,094
Jack, do you remember
Mr Potterson's sister?
241
00:13:26,095 --> 00:13:27,512
The one with the bad arm?
242
00:13:27,513 --> 00:13:30,098
- Is that religious?
- Oh, no, sir. No, sir.
243
00:13:30,099 --> 00:13:32,183
Oh, you remember her, Jack.
Her name was Miriam.
244
00:13:32,184 --> 00:13:33,351
She didn't eat meat.
245
00:13:33,352 --> 00:13:35,019
Sounds religious.
246
00:13:35,020 --> 00:13:37,188
You remember the fellow
that was courting her?
247
00:13:37,189 --> 00:13:40,692
Sold spool thread.
Came from down around Eugene.
248
00:13:40,693 --> 00:13:43,027
- Not religious, huh?
- No, sir.
249
00:13:43,028 --> 00:13:46,447
- What was his name, Jack?
- I don't think I remember the name.
250
00:13:46,448 --> 00:13:49,617
Well, I don't know about you people,
but I'm starved.
251
00:13:49,618 --> 00:13:51,035
I don't know, Mrs Partlow. I...
252
00:13:51,036 --> 00:13:53,496
Jack, I heard you made a few people
a little unhappy
253
00:13:53,497 --> 00:13:54,872
down at the Liberal Club last night.
254
00:13:54,873 --> 00:13:57,041
Oh, Carl,
we're here to have a good time,
255
00:13:57,042 --> 00:13:58,876
let's not go into that.
256
00:13:58,877 --> 00:14:00,712
What was his name, Jack?
257
00:14:00,713 --> 00:14:02,964
- Here you are!
- I can't...
258
00:14:02,965 --> 00:14:04,549
Welcome. So happy...
259
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:06,217
- Hello, Jack.
- Hello.
260
00:14:06,218 --> 00:14:11,218
Oh, you look wonderful.
261
00:14:13,183 --> 00:14:15,184
Alma, this is Louise Trullinger.
262
00:14:15,185 --> 00:14:19,063
Alma Boyle.
This is Ned Boyle and Jack Reed.
263
00:14:19,064 --> 00:14:21,733
Jack, Louise is quite a progressive
in her own right.
264
00:14:21,734 --> 00:14:22,900
Mr Partlow.
265
00:14:22,901 --> 00:14:26,571
- How do you do, Mr Reed?
- How do you do?
266
00:14:26,572 --> 00:14:29,490
Oh, Mr Partlow, Mrs Partlow,
this is Louise Trullinger.
267
00:14:29,491 --> 00:14:31,326
- Pleased to meet you.
- Pleased to meet you.
268
00:14:31,327 --> 00:14:34,662
Are you Paul Trullinger's wife?
269
00:14:34,663 --> 00:14:36,539
Yes. Yes, I am.
270
00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:38,499
Well, isn't that something?
271
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:40,501
He did Frank Rhodes' bridge.
272
00:14:40,502 --> 00:14:44,255
Oh, Mrs Trullinger, your husband's
the finest dentist in all of Portland.
273
00:14:44,256 --> 00:14:46,424
- Thank you very much.
- Really?
274
00:14:46,425 --> 00:14:48,718
And I think he did a plate
for Uncle Grover.
275
00:14:48,719 --> 00:14:51,095
Oh, we won't wait for Harry and Martha.
I could eat a horse.
276
00:14:51,096 --> 00:14:52,263
All right, let's go in.
277
00:14:52,264 --> 00:14:53,931
What a shame Paul
couldn't come tonight.
278
00:14:53,932 --> 00:14:55,099
- An emergency?
- Yes...
279
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:56,267
Not Uncle Grover's plate, I hope.
280
00:14:56,268 --> 00:14:59,937
- No. Uncle Grover's plate's like new.
- Oh, well...
281
00:14:59,938 --> 00:15:03,733
Did free love start
in Greenwich Village?
282
00:15:03,734 --> 00:15:05,276
Very good wine, Carl.
283
00:15:05,277 --> 00:15:10,277
- More, Jack?
- No, no. No, thank you.
284
00:15:10,407 --> 00:15:12,033
It's just delicious, really.
285
00:15:12,034 --> 00:15:14,535
Don't you think so, Mrs Trullinger?
286
00:15:14,536 --> 00:15:16,454
Yes, it's just delicious.
287
00:15:16,455 --> 00:15:17,747
Thank you, Louise.
288
00:15:17,748 --> 00:15:20,958
- Dupont, I think.
- Dupont.
289
00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:22,418
It is Dupont, isn't it, Harry?
290
00:15:22,419 --> 00:15:25,797
Mother doesn't want you to get Jack
started on the subject of marriage.
291
00:15:25,798 --> 00:15:28,257
You got any children, Mrs Trullinger?
292
00:15:28,258 --> 00:15:29,967
Not yet, Mr Reed.
293
00:15:29,968 --> 00:15:31,886
- Call me Jack.
- I've been married 14 years now.
294
00:15:31,887 --> 00:15:34,639
Don't get me in any arguments
about free love.
295
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,973
It's getting cold outside.
296
00:15:35,974 --> 00:15:37,642
I'll just call you Louise.
297
00:15:37,643 --> 00:15:40,436
George Waldorf.
That's it! George Waldorf!
298
00:15:40,437 --> 00:15:41,938
Used to sell spool thread.
299
00:15:41,939 --> 00:15:46,275
- What about George Waldorf?
- Well, he died.
300
00:15:46,276 --> 00:15:48,736
I couldn't think of letting
you walk unescorted, Louise.
301
00:15:48,737 --> 00:15:49,987
Tell me something.
302
00:15:49,988 --> 00:15:53,616
Does Dr Trullinger mind your
spending so much time at your studio?
303
00:15:53,617 --> 00:15:56,619
People have to give each other
a little freedom.
304
00:15:56,620 --> 00:15:59,080
Freedom, Mrs Trullinger?
305
00:15:59,081 --> 00:16:01,332
I'd like to know
what your idea of freedom is.
306
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:06,333
Having your own studio? Walk...
307
00:16:10,509 --> 00:16:15,509
I'd like to see you
with your pants off, Mr Reed.
308
00:16:38,036 --> 00:16:43,036
Marching and shuffling along
309
00:16:56,013 --> 00:16:57,638
I didn't realise the time.
310
00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:00,808
So, if you like, there's some
very nice damson preserves.
311
00:17:00,809 --> 00:17:03,311
And you can make toast out of that,
if you want.
312
00:17:03,312 --> 00:17:05,563
So, bye.
313
00:17:05,564 --> 00:17:06,814
Where you going?
314
00:17:06,815 --> 00:17:08,191
Where you going?
315
00:17:08,192 --> 00:17:10,985
If you're catching the 2:45, I mean,
you don't really have that much time.
316
00:17:10,986 --> 00:17:13,404
- I'm sure you're gonna want to pack...
- Louise, it's 8:45, only.
317
00:17:13,405 --> 00:17:14,572
It's 8:45.
318
00:17:14,573 --> 00:17:16,532
Listen, I realise
that you're very busy in New York,
319
00:17:16,533 --> 00:17:18,075
but I'd be grateful
if you could take the time
320
00:17:18,076 --> 00:17:19,827
to write a few words to me
about my work.
321
00:17:19,828 --> 00:17:21,078
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
322
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:23,706
If you'll just send my portfolio back.
You can mail it to this address...
323
00:17:23,707 --> 00:17:26,417
Louise, wait a minute. What are you
just walking out like that for?
324
00:17:26,418 --> 00:17:31,418
Will you come upstairs, please,
and just talk to me for a minute?
325
00:17:31,715 --> 00:17:33,591
Thank you.
326
00:17:33,592 --> 00:17:38,054
- Listen...
- What is it?
327
00:17:38,055 --> 00:17:39,263
Why don't you come?
328
00:17:39,264 --> 00:17:40,723
- What?
- Come to New York.
329
00:17:40,724 --> 00:17:42,517
You wanna write?
Come where the writers are.
330
00:17:42,518 --> 00:17:45,019
If you wanna have freedom you gotta go
where the freedom is, don't you?
331
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:46,938
You're gonna go to waste in Portland.
Come to New York.
332
00:17:46,939 --> 00:17:48,689
- You ought to be in New York.
- Thank you very much.
333
00:17:48,690 --> 00:17:49,941
I'll remember that.
334
00:17:49,942 --> 00:17:53,528
- What?
- I'll remember your advice.
335
00:17:53,529 --> 00:17:55,571
Please come with me.
336
00:17:55,572 --> 00:17:57,365
All right, wait a minute.
Let me get this straight.
337
00:17:57,366 --> 00:17:59,575
You want me
to come with you to New York.
338
00:17:59,576 --> 00:18:00,952
Yeah.
339
00:18:00,953 --> 00:18:02,912
What as? What as?
340
00:18:02,913 --> 00:18:04,622
- What do you mean, what...
- What as?
341
00:18:04,623 --> 00:18:07,208
- Your girlfriend?
- What does that mean?
342
00:18:07,209 --> 00:18:08,543
What as? Your girlfriend,
343
00:18:08,544 --> 00:18:11,796
your mistress, your paramour,
your concubine?
344
00:18:11,797 --> 00:18:13,548
Why does it have to be as anything?
345
00:18:13,549 --> 00:18:15,383
Because I don't wanna
get into some kind
346
00:18:15,384 --> 00:18:20,221
of emotional possessive involvement
where I'm not able to...
347
00:18:20,222 --> 00:18:22,139
I want to know what as.
348
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:27,140
Well, it's nearly Thanksgiving.
Why don't you come as a turkey?
349
00:18:27,479 --> 00:18:31,649
I always thought she was
a very earnest girl who went away.
350
00:18:31,650 --> 00:18:36,487
Probably the dentist knew nothing
except about teeth,
351
00:18:36,488 --> 00:18:39,448
and was mainly interested...
352
00:18:39,449 --> 00:18:42,743
And then she had
this wonderful journalist
353
00:18:42,744 --> 00:18:45,162
who could talk about all sorts of things.
354
00:18:45,163 --> 00:18:48,332
I had a coat I brought from Germany.
355
00:18:48,333 --> 00:18:50,668
And she wanted that coat
356
00:18:50,669 --> 00:18:54,964
and made me all kinds of propositions.
357
00:18:54,965 --> 00:18:57,925
But I wanted it, too.
358
00:18:57,926 --> 00:19:00,928
But finally I gave in and gave it to her.
359
00:19:00,929 --> 00:19:04,181
I had other coats.
360
00:19:04,182 --> 00:19:09,182
So that's how she operated.
361
00:19:12,357 --> 00:19:15,776
She went after him.
As I say, she got him.
362
00:19:15,777 --> 00:19:19,363
So she wasn't any dummy.
363
00:19:19,364 --> 00:19:23,618
But it was something to happen
in little old Port/and.
364
00:19:23,619 --> 00:19:25,661
You didn't hear the word "sex, ".
365
00:19:25,662 --> 00:19:27,622
You didn't hear the word "lesbian."
366
00:19:27,623 --> 00:19:30,499
You didn't hear the word "homosexual."
367
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:33,044
You didn't hear the word "abortion."
368
00:19:33,045 --> 00:19:34,795
You didn't hear those things.
369
00:19:34,796 --> 00:19:36,297
Men respected women.
370
00:19:36,298 --> 00:19:39,675
They helped them on with their Coats,
they opened the doors for them.
371
00:19:39,676 --> 00:19:42,053
And the man and woman
who courted each other,
372
00:19:42,054 --> 00:19:43,512
they married each other.
373
00:19:43,513 --> 00:19:46,057
You know something that/ think,
374
00:19:46,058 --> 00:19:50,978
that there was just as much
fucking going on then as now.
375
00:19:50,979 --> 00:19:55,316
Only now,
it has a more perverted quality.
376
00:19:55,317 --> 00:19:58,819
Now there's no love whatever included.
377
00:19:58,820 --> 00:20:01,822
Then, there was your heart,
a bit of heart in it.
378
00:20:01,823 --> 00:20:04,158
Greenwich Village was there,
379
00:20:04,159 --> 00:20:05,993
and New York was around it.
380
00:20:05,994 --> 00:20:10,247
And the rest of New York did not act
the way Greenwich Village did, exactly.
381
00:20:10,248 --> 00:20:12,750
It was sort of a centre of dissent
382
00:20:12,751 --> 00:20:16,837
and had been for a long time
in American life.
383
00:20:16,838 --> 00:20:20,257
People from all over
the count/y came there.
384
00:20:20,258 --> 00:20:24,679
It was regarded as bohemian.
Their ways of life were irregular.
385
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,597
The way they dressed
386
00:20:26,598 --> 00:20:28,265
and certainly the way they thought
387
00:20:28,266 --> 00:20:31,102
was outside the mainstream
of American life.
388
00:20:31,103 --> 00:20:32,770
And as I recollect it,
389
00:20:32,771 --> 00:20:35,773
marriage was not important
in Greenwich Village.
390
00:20:35,774 --> 00:20:39,402
I remember hearing a line
Jack said to somebody
391
00:20:39,403 --> 00:20:41,445
he was trying to lure into bed.
392
00:20:41,446 --> 00:20:46,446
She was being very coy, and he said,
"Aren 't you pagan enough?"
393
00:20:46,702 --> 00:20:47,202
Hello?
394
00:20:57,254 --> 00:21:02,254
Hello, Jack?
395
00:21:42,007 --> 00:21:44,300
If it's illegal to hand out pamphlets
on birth control,
396
00:21:44,301 --> 00:21:45,676
I'm proud to be a criminal.
397
00:21:45,677 --> 00:21:48,971
No one is arguing with your
inalienable right to go to jail, Emma.
398
00:21:48,972 --> 00:21:51,182
All I'm saying
is that this is not the right time
399
00:21:51,183 --> 00:21:52,433
to go to jail for birth control.
400
00:21:52,434 --> 00:21:54,685
Oh, there's a right time
to go to jail for birth control?
401
00:21:54,686 --> 00:21:56,979
The Masses is governing
conscience now?
402
00:21:56,980 --> 00:21:59,315
Soon you'll be indistinguishable
from The New York Times.
403
00:21:59,316 --> 00:22:01,984
Emma, all I'm saying
is that you are too valuable
404
00:22:01,985 --> 00:22:03,694
- to the anti-war movement.
- You're wrong.
405
00:22:03,695 --> 00:22:07,364
- No, he's right. If we get into this war...
- And you're wrong.
406
00:22:07,365 --> 00:22:10,534
- Will you let me finish my sentence?
- Your sentence is not worth finishing.
407
00:22:10,535 --> 00:22:13,329
Thousands of American women,
overworked, underfed,
408
00:22:13,330 --> 00:22:17,500
are dying, giving birth to anaemic
children who can't last out a year.
409
00:22:17,501 --> 00:22:20,377
Are their lives any less valuable
than thousands of American boys'?
410
00:22:20,378 --> 00:22:23,380
- I want those back Tuesday.
- I'm not saying... Do you think...
411
00:22:23,381 --> 00:22:25,341
- Oh, shit.
- Exactly.
412
00:22:25,342 --> 00:22:26,550
Good night.
413
00:22:26,551 --> 00:22:29,804
- You want some coffee?
- Chase and Sanborn?
414
00:22:29,805 --> 00:22:33,224
- I'm out of coffee.
- Again? I'm leaving.
415
00:22:33,225 --> 00:22:36,060
No, the conversation is over.
You're a journalist, Jack.
416
00:22:36,061 --> 00:22:38,312
When you're a revolutionary,
we'll discuss priorities.
417
00:22:38,313 --> 00:22:39,688
Hopefully over coffee.
418
00:22:39,689 --> 00:22:44,689
- It's late, I'll walk you home.
- Why? I won't hurt anybody.
419
00:22:50,742 --> 00:22:53,410
Well...
420
00:22:53,411 --> 00:22:54,995
Yeah.
421
00:22:54,996 --> 00:22:56,872
It's Friday night.
422
00:22:56,873 --> 00:22:58,541
I'm so glad to see you.
423
00:22:58,542 --> 00:23:03,542
Really, I'm so glad to see you.
424
00:23:03,755 --> 00:23:06,215
I finished your articles.
They're very good.
425
00:23:06,216 --> 00:23:09,760
The rail road piece, I think, is...
Needs polishing.
426
00:23:09,761 --> 00:23:11,929
- It's repetitious, but...
- But that's deliberate.
427
00:23:11,930 --> 00:23:13,430
I'm using repetition to make a point.
428
00:23:13,431 --> 00:23:15,724
I don't want it to seem too polished.
429
00:23:15,725 --> 00:23:17,935
Oh.
430
00:23:17,936 --> 00:23:20,229
Well, I think
you're gonna love New York.
431
00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:22,022
Emma, Emma, Emma.
432
00:23:22,023 --> 00:23:24,024
I think it was Emma Goldberg.
433
00:23:24,025 --> 00:23:25,276
I think so.
434
00:23:25,277 --> 00:23:27,069
I never forgot Emma Goldman.
435
00:23:27,070 --> 00:23:30,072
She inspired me to the very depths.
436
00:23:30,073 --> 00:23:33,117
And Max Eastman was a beloved man.
437
00:23:33,118 --> 00:23:36,120
The real rad/cal, a free spirit.
438
00:23:36,121 --> 00:23:39,915
He was in that same group
with that Emma Goldman.
439
00:23:39,916 --> 00:23:43,377
That was her name.
Goldman, not Goldberg.
440
00:23:43,378 --> 00:23:45,129
Floyd Dell was one of them.
441
00:23:45,130 --> 00:23:47,464
He wrote novels, beautiful novels.
442
00:23:47,465 --> 00:23:51,260
The radicals included people
like the /WWs
443
00:23:51,261 --> 00:23:52,887
and Bill Haywood.
444
00:23:52,888 --> 00:23:55,139
And there were Walter Lippmann,
445
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:58,142
and Lincoln Steffens
and Isadora Duncan
446
00:23:58,143 --> 00:24:00,144
and Edna St Vincent Mil/ay.
447
00:24:00,145 --> 00:24:01,979
Alfred Stieglitz...
448
00:24:01,980 --> 00:24:03,647
Oh, and Margaret Sanger.
449
00:24:03,648 --> 00:24:06,108
My Lord, I picketed for her.
450
00:24:06,109 --> 00:24:08,736
And, of course,
the great writer Eugene O'Neill
451
00:24:08,737 --> 00:24:10,070
came from down there.
452
00:24:10,071 --> 00:24:13,991
I don't think there's anybody
who can touch O'Neill today.
453
00:24:13,992 --> 00:24:18,746
You have to be a bit of a rebe/
to be an artist of any kind, I believe.
454
00:24:18,747 --> 00:24:23,747
And everybody in Greenwich Village
was a bit of a rebel.
455
00:24:30,342 --> 00:24:32,301
- What do you do, Louise?
- I write.
456
00:24:32,302 --> 00:24:34,637
Good for you.
Could you pass the bread, please?
457
00:24:34,638 --> 00:24:35,971
- Thanks.
- Because to the middle-class American,
458
00:24:35,972 --> 00:24:40,972
everyone on the left is the same.
An anarchist, a socialist...
459
00:24:46,191 --> 00:24:49,026
Would you pass the bread, please?
460
00:24:49,027 --> 00:24:50,945
- What do you do, Louise?
- I write.
461
00:24:50,946 --> 00:24:53,113
Good. Madame Schumann-Heink...
462
00:24:53,114 --> 00:24:57,701
Jack tells me you write, Miss Bryant.
What do you write about?
463
00:24:57,702 --> 00:24:59,995
Everything.
464
00:24:59,996 --> 00:25:02,623
You write about everything?
465
00:25:02,624 --> 00:25:06,543
Everything. Yes. Everything, nothing...
466
00:25:06,544 --> 00:25:09,672
Just...
467
00:25:09,673 --> 00:25:13,050
I see.
468
00:25:13,051 --> 00:25:15,469
Now, about Davis and Sloan,
have they quit?
469
00:25:15,470 --> 00:25:20,470
Not yet, but they...
470
00:25:24,229 --> 00:25:28,315
I don't think they should sit here
like this. I don't. I think it's cruel.
471
00:25:28,316 --> 00:25:30,067
- It's just...
- Organisation, right?
472
00:25:30,068 --> 00:25:32,152
Look, what does a capitalist do?
473
00:25:32,153 --> 00:25:34,238
Let me ask you that, Mike.
Huh? Tell me.
474
00:25:34,239 --> 00:25:35,906
I mean, what does he make,
besides money?
475
00:25:35,907 --> 00:25:38,575
I don't know what he makes.
The workers do all the work, don't they?
476
00:25:38,576 --> 00:25:40,077
Well, what if they got organised?
477
00:25:40,078 --> 00:25:42,079
I mean, all the workers.
Notjust the plumbers,
478
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,248
and the carpenters
and the goddamn cigar makers.
479
00:25:44,249 --> 00:25:45,708
But all of them, all over the world?
480
00:25:45,709 --> 00:25:48,335
Not in just one country.
Give him a beer, will you?
481
00:25:48,336 --> 00:25:49,878
What if they all got organised?
482
00:25:49,879 --> 00:25:52,423
Don't you think they could...
They could change society overnight.
483
00:25:52,424 --> 00:25:53,716
They can make it into
anything they wanted.
484
00:25:53,717 --> 00:25:56,343
Jack, can I tap you for $5? I'm flat.
485
00:25:56,344 --> 00:25:59,847
Well, don't ask this pretentious
son of a bitch for money.
486
00:25:59,848 --> 00:26:04,848
If you need $5, I'll give it to you.
487
00:26:05,270 --> 00:26:06,437
Let me have $4.50, will you?
488
00:26:06,438 --> 00:26:08,355
- What isn't fair...?
- You see what I'm saying?
489
00:26:08,356 --> 00:26:11,191
If all the workers in the world
belonged to one big union,
490
00:26:11,192 --> 00:26:13,277
- there wouldn't be a war, would there?
- Are you listening to me?
491
00:26:13,278 --> 00:26:15,279
Miss Bryant.
492
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,781
You've been nursing
that beer for an hour.
493
00:26:17,782 --> 00:26:19,450
Can I get you a glass of wine
or something?
494
00:26:19,451 --> 00:26:21,577
No, thank you. I'm fine.
Thank you, anyway.
495
00:26:21,578 --> 00:26:24,455
- Beer's fine.
- You are an amiable person.
496
00:26:24,456 --> 00:26:27,249
And a very good painter, I hear.
497
00:26:27,250 --> 00:26:27,794
I write.
498
00:26:38,553 --> 00:26:40,387
Read Jung!
499
00:26:40,388 --> 00:26:42,806
"Read Freud, read Jung."
Read Engels, read Marx!
500
00:26:42,807 --> 00:26:45,976
My God, you can't interpret Freud
in an economic context.
501
00:26:45,977 --> 00:26:47,895
You know you got a taxi waiting?
502
00:26:47,896 --> 00:26:50,105
Zosima represents
the corruption of religion.
503
00:26:50,106 --> 00:26:51,315
I tell you you're wrong.
504
00:26:51,316 --> 00:26:56,236
- And Jung is a mystic...
- But do you seriously believe...
505
00:26:56,237 --> 00:27:00,324
- How long are they going to stay?
- I don't know. They'll get out in a while.
506
00:27:00,325 --> 00:27:03,452
- I'll only be gone for a day.
- You just got back from Boston.
507
00:27:03,453 --> 00:27:04,953
Hey, why don't you come
with me to Baltimore?
508
00:27:04,954 --> 00:27:07,247
Really? What am I supposed
to come to Baltimore as?
509
00:27:07,248 --> 00:27:08,665
What as?
510
00:27:08,666 --> 00:27:12,169
Jack, you know, you got a taxi waiting.
511
00:27:12,170 --> 00:27:14,671
Taxi's waiting, Jack.
512
00:27:14,672 --> 00:27:19,672
See you tomorrow.
513
00:27:23,765 --> 00:27:26,308
We've been trying for two years.
514
00:27:26,309 --> 00:27:29,686
Capitalists can take this country into
war any time they damn well please.
515
00:27:29,687 --> 00:27:31,939
The only impact you can make
is in the streets.
516
00:27:31,940 --> 00:27:33,023
Of course, but...
517
00:27:33,024 --> 00:27:36,151
But don't you think, Emma,
518
00:27:36,152 --> 00:27:38,987
that if Debs gets a lot of votes,
it'll strengthen that image?
519
00:27:38,988 --> 00:27:41,865
No, I don't. I think voting is the opium
of the masses in this country.
520
00:27:41,866 --> 00:27:43,867
Every four years, you deaden the pain.
521
00:27:43,868 --> 00:27:46,829
Yeah, but...
522
00:27:46,830 --> 00:27:48,038
Don't you think...
523
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:51,166
I just made it very clear
what I think, Miss Bryant.
524
00:27:51,167 --> 00:27:53,460
Come on, E.G.
Don't be so goddamn dogmatic.
525
00:27:53,461 --> 00:27:56,547
- Louise has a point. She says...
- Suddenly I'm dogmatic.
526
00:27:56,548 --> 00:27:59,550
Why does my status change
every time you get a new woman, Jack?
527
00:27:59,551 --> 00:28:02,845
Bernie, could I have the red wine?
Louise, would you like a glass?
528
00:28:02,846 --> 00:28:04,888
She'sjust... She's upset with me.
529
00:28:04,889 --> 00:28:07,850
It's got nothing to do with you.
Nothing to do with you.
530
00:28:07,851 --> 00:28:10,853
Thank you. It's a great comfort.
531
00:28:10,854 --> 00:28:13,522
The house is completely filled
with people when you're gone.
532
00:28:13,523 --> 00:28:15,399
They use it as if it was
a meeting hall or something.
533
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,734
- I can't get any work done.
- Just throw them out.
534
00:28:17,735 --> 00:28:19,528
- How am I supposed to throw them out?
- Just kick them out.
535
00:28:19,529 --> 00:28:20,696
Tell them to leave.
536
00:28:20,697 --> 00:28:22,239
I'm not going to
say to Max Eastman, "Leave."
537
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,740
- Just throw them out.
- Jack?
538
00:28:23,741 --> 00:28:26,577
Jack, is that you?
Jack, it's very good to see you.
539
00:28:26,578 --> 00:28:30,497
- Hello, Horace. How are you?
- Very good to see you.
540
00:28:30,498 --> 00:28:33,250
- You know Louise Bryant?
- Yes, hello. How are you?
541
00:28:33,251 --> 00:28:35,419
- Very nice to see you.
- How do you do?
542
00:28:35,420 --> 00:28:36,587
Great pleasure.
543
00:28:36,588 --> 00:28:38,589
- Hi, Max. How are you?
- Divine, Horace.
544
00:28:38,590 --> 00:28:40,591
- And Floyd, good to see you.
- Hello, Horace.
545
00:28:40,592 --> 00:28:42,676
Still getting arrested, Jack?
546
00:28:42,677 --> 00:28:45,929
I 'EVY-
547
00:28:45,930 --> 00:28:47,097
How about you, Miss Bryant?
548
00:28:47,098 --> 00:28:49,266
Are you trying to get arrested, too?
549
00:28:49,267 --> 00:28:52,603
No, not really.
550
00:28:52,604 --> 00:28:56,273
- What do you do, Miss Bryant?
- I write.
551
00:28:56,274 --> 00:29:01,274
You write? Now, may I ask,
what are you working on?
552
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,615
It's impossible to describe.
553
00:29:04,616 --> 00:29:06,116
It's impossible to describe?
554
00:29:06,117 --> 00:29:07,242
She just did a hell of a piece
555
00:29:07,243 --> 00:29:09,578
on the influence of the Armory Show
and you ought to read it.
556
00:29:09,579 --> 00:29:12,289
Well, you know,
I very much would like to read that.
557
00:29:12,290 --> 00:29:14,958
Why don't you give me a call
at The Metropolitan?
558
00:29:14,959 --> 00:29:17,878
In fact, even better,
why don't we have a drink on Thursday?
559
00:29:17,879 --> 00:29:20,631
- Fine.
- We can talk about the Armory Show.
560
00:29:20,632 --> 00:29:21,965
- It's a date, then.
- Well, all right.
561
00:29:21,966 --> 00:29:23,550
That's wonderful. Fine.
562
00:29:23,551 --> 00:29:24,051
Jack!
563
00:29:27,639 --> 00:29:32,559
Now, you stay out
of the slammer, now, okay?
564
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,231
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
It's nice to see you.
565
00:29:37,232 --> 00:29:39,149
- Jack, please don't do that.
- What?
566
00:29:39,150 --> 00:29:41,401
He's the editor of Metropolitan.
I've known him for years.
567
00:29:41,402 --> 00:29:44,488
- Jack, I can speak for myself.
- So can your work.
568
00:29:44,489 --> 00:29:46,073
- I don't want you to do that...
- Taxi's waiting, Jack.
569
00:29:46,074 --> 00:29:51,074
Oh. Taxi's waiting, Jack.
570
00:29:52,664 --> 00:29:55,123
Jack”.
571
00:29:55,124 --> 00:29:59,086
I'll see you at the end
of the week, okay?
572
00:29:59,087 --> 00:30:00,254
- Okay?
- Wait. Wait.
573
00:30:00,255 --> 00:30:02,756
Maybe I will call him about Thursday.
574
00:30:02,757 --> 00:30:05,509
Yeah, call him about Thursday.
Yeah, yeah.
575
00:30:05,510 --> 00:30:07,261
- See you, boys.
- Bye-bye, Jack.
576
00:30:07,262 --> 00:30:09,930
- Bye-bye, Jack.
- See you.
577
00:30:09,931 --> 00:30:14,931
See you, Jack.
578
00:30:17,522 --> 00:30:20,148
"The railroad's opening new frontiers,
579
00:30:20,149 --> 00:30:23,026
"and crisscrossing it all
are the rail roads."
580
00:30:23,027 --> 00:30:25,404
"The railroad's opening new frontiers,"
581
00:30:25,405 --> 00:30:27,990
"and in turn, these frontiers..."
582
00:30:27,991 --> 00:30:30,367
"And in turn, these frontiers..."
583
00:30:30,368 --> 00:30:34,663
Oh, God.
584
00:30:34,664 --> 00:30:39,664
It is repetitious.
585
00:30:39,877 --> 00:30:42,045
We're not human beings,
we're a Commodity.
586
00:30:42,046 --> 00:30:43,755
- And how many days a week?
- Seven days.
587
00:30:43,756 --> 00:30:45,048
- Every day?
- They said,
588
00:30:45,049 --> 00:30:48,385
"If you don't come to work on Sunday,
don't come on Monday."
589
00:30:48,386 --> 00:30:50,429
- What do you make an hour?
- 20 cents.
590
00:30:50,430 --> 00:30:53,223
How many times have they
slammed the door on your face
591
00:30:53,224 --> 00:30:55,851
because the labour you do
is called unskilled?
592
00:30:55,852 --> 00:30:57,060
That's right, Bill.
593
00:30:57,061 --> 00:30:59,438
Well, the IWW's not gonna
turn you down
594
00:30:59,439 --> 00:31:01,565
- because you're unskilled.
- Listen to him, George.
595
00:31:01,566 --> 00:31:05,193
Or skilled. Or black or white or yellow.
596
00:31:05,194 --> 00:31:06,570
Seven days a week.
597
00:31:06,571 --> 00:31:08,572
- What do you make an hour?
- 10 cents an hour.
598
00:31:08,573 --> 00:31:10,240
One big union.
599
00:31:10,241 --> 00:31:14,411
- All workers belong...
- Listen, read that. That's important.
600
00:31:14,412 --> 00:31:17,372
I'm looking for a lathe worker
named Pasquale Alberti.
601
00:31:17,373 --> 00:31:20,417
He had an industrial accident. He got
his leg crushed. Do you know him?
602
00:31:20,418 --> 00:31:22,085
Yeah, sure, Harvard.
603
00:31:22,086 --> 00:31:24,588
Is that what they wanna read about
in Greenwich Village now,
604
00:31:24,589 --> 00:31:28,300
industrial accidents?
605
00:31:28,301 --> 00:31:30,886
And for that, we need power.
606
00:31:30,887 --> 00:31:33,764
And there's only one way to get power.
607
00:31:33,765 --> 00:31:35,098
Organise!
608
00:31:35,099 --> 00:31:37,601
All the workers together!
609
00:31:37,602 --> 00:31:39,603
One big union!
610
00:31:39,604 --> 00:31:44,149
And the war the IWW
wants you to get into is class war!
611
00:31:44,150 --> 00:31:45,984
Not a war in Europe!
612
00:31:45,985 --> 00:31:48,278
War against the capitalists!
613
00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:50,781
You'll never get anything or anywhere,
614
00:31:50,782 --> 00:31:55,118
until the whole working class
belongs to one big...
615
00:31:55,119 --> 00:31:56,953
All right, gentlemen,
616
00:31:56,954 --> 00:32:01,954
you've got 20 seconds
to vacate the premises.
617
00:32:07,090 --> 00:32:09,299
May I ask on what authority?
618
00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:11,093
On my authority.
619
00:32:11,094 --> 00:32:13,095
This is an illegal assembly.
620
00:32:13,096 --> 00:32:15,680
Excuse me, Officer. These men
have the legal right to assemble.
621
00:32:15,681 --> 00:32:16,973
That's all they're doing.
622
00:32:16,974 --> 00:32:18,767
We know what the hell they doing.
623
00:32:18,768 --> 00:32:20,769
- What the hell you doing?
- Me?
624
00:32:20,770 --> 00:32:21,937
You.
625
00:32:21,938 --> 00:32:24,481
- I write.
- You write?
626
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:29,361
You wrong.
627
00:32:29,362 --> 00:32:34,362
Get him out of here!
628
00:32:35,827 --> 00:32:37,369
Here they are.
629
00:32:37,370 --> 00:32:41,873
The folio. The oeuvre.
630
00:32:41,874 --> 00:32:44,292
Well...
631
00:32:44,293 --> 00:32:45,669
How is Jack?
632
00:32:45,670 --> 00:32:49,172
I do hope he's being more careful
about what he's writing these days.
633
00:32:49,173 --> 00:32:51,299
I'd hate to see him not able
to get into print.
634
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:54,344
Oh, I'm sure he'll do fine.
635
00:32:54,345 --> 00:32:58,014
Did you tell him
where we were having drinks?
636
00:32:58,015 --> 00:33:00,016
No, I will. He's out of town.
637
00:33:00,017 --> 00:33:03,520
Mr Whigham, excuse me, but
the Armory Show piece is on the top.
638
00:33:03,521 --> 00:33:05,522
Oh, this is the Armory...
639
00:33:05,523 --> 00:33:10,523
- Yes.
- Yes. Of course. Here it is.
640
00:33:15,366 --> 00:33:17,409
Well...
641
00:33:17,410 --> 00:33:19,870
I really ought to spend
more time on this.
642
00:33:19,871 --> 00:33:21,663
Oh, yes, of course.
643
00:33:21,664 --> 00:33:24,040
What about dinner?
644
00:33:24,041 --> 00:33:27,544
- Dinner?
- Jack wouldn't mind.
645
00:33:27,545 --> 00:33:30,505
- Why would he mind?
- Well, we're all grownups, of course,
646
00:33:30,506 --> 00:33:33,008
but Jack's rather...
647
00:33:33,009 --> 00:33:34,926
He's rather an odd duck, isn't he?
648
00:33:34,927 --> 00:33:36,261
And I've never really known how...
649
00:33:36,262 --> 00:33:37,679
Mr Whigham, are you saying you need
650
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Jack's permission
to make a pass at me?
651
00:33:42,894 --> 00:33:44,186
What are you getting so upset about?
652
00:33:44,187 --> 00:33:46,021
For Christ's sake,
I made two little tiny changes...
653
00:33:46,022 --> 00:33:47,564
Don't rewrite what I write, Pete.
654
00:33:47,565 --> 00:33:49,733
What the hell's the matter
with you, Jack?
655
00:33:49,734 --> 00:33:51,943
The IWW's a bunch of Reds.
656
00:33:51,944 --> 00:33:53,278
Come on.
657
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:55,739
We got Reds in the IWW,
got Reds in the Village.
658
00:33:55,740 --> 00:33:57,574
We've got nothing
but Reds around here.
659
00:33:57,575 --> 00:34:00,577
For Christ's sake,
you're the best goddamn writer around.
660
00:34:00,578 --> 00:34:02,287
Now, what the hell
you wanna waste your time
661
00:34:02,288 --> 00:34:04,539
with a lot of Red propaganda
nobody's ever gonna print?
662
00:34:04,540 --> 00:34:06,583
It's the truth.
Does that mean anything around here?
663
00:34:06,584 --> 00:34:08,210
Well, who the hell's to say
what the truth is?
664
00:34:08,211 --> 00:34:10,212
A bunch of goddamn Reds in the IWW?
665
00:34:10,213 --> 00:34:12,214
You're not being fair to the AF of L.
666
00:34:12,215 --> 00:34:15,091
- Now, give me the goddamn article...
- You're gonna rewrite what I write.
667
00:34:15,092 --> 00:34:17,302
I'm just gonna take it
to a magazine that won't.
668
00:34:17,303 --> 00:34:19,054
Well, fine. Take it to The Masses.
669
00:34:19,055 --> 00:34:20,430
- They're a bunch of Reds.
- Thank you.
670
00:34:20,431 --> 00:34:22,641
- Who's gonna pay your rent?
- Rent's easy, Pete.
671
00:34:22,642 --> 00:34:25,602
You just don't rewrite what I write.
You got that? Don't rewrite what I write.
672
00:34:25,603 --> 00:34:30,603
You stubborn son of a bitch.
Who's gonna pay your rent?
673
00:34:44,830 --> 00:34:45,330
Louise?
674
00:35:04,016 --> 00:35:06,518
I got every one in the shop.
675
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:11,519
We're broke, but we've got them all.
676
00:35:12,692 --> 00:35:13,192
Thanks.
677
00:35:17,863 --> 00:35:19,864
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
678
00:35:19,865 --> 00:35:22,826
- What is it?
- It's nothing. How'd it go?
679
00:35:22,827 --> 00:35:24,661
A lot better than we thought it would.
680
00:35:24,662 --> 00:35:27,539
- You see Whigham?
- Yesterday.
681
00:35:27,540 --> 00:35:30,625
- How was that?
- We mostly talked about you, of course.
682
00:35:30,626 --> 00:35:32,168
Did he offer you work?
683
00:35:32,169 --> 00:35:34,004
No, but he made a big point
of telling me
684
00:35:34,005 --> 00:35:36,673
what wonderful friends
you and he have become over the years.
685
00:35:36,674 --> 00:35:40,010
It was a fascinating meeting.
686
00:35:40,011 --> 00:35:44,639
Are you angry at Whigham or me?
687
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,016
What is it?
688
00:35:46,017 --> 00:35:48,018
It's nothing.
You said you'd be back Tuesday
689
00:35:48,019 --> 00:35:49,519
and it's Saturday.
690
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,396
Didn't I say I'd back
at the end of the week?
691
00:35:51,397 --> 00:35:53,857
- The end of the week is Friday.
- The end of the week is Friday?
692
00:35:53,858 --> 00:35:55,358
Saturday's not the
end of the week any more, huh?
693
00:35:55,359 --> 00:35:56,860
Jack, you said you'd be back Tuesday!
694
00:35:56,861 --> 00:35:58,028
What difference does it make?
695
00:35:58,029 --> 00:35:59,195
What do you think I've been doing?
696
00:35:59,196 --> 00:36:01,197
Running around listening
to the sound of my own voice?
697
00:36:01,198 --> 00:36:03,241
How do I know whose voice
you've been listening to?
698
00:36:03,242 --> 00:36:08,242
Obviously you like it
a lot better than mine!
699
00:36:16,672 --> 00:36:19,341
Look at me. Oh, God!
700
00:36:19,342 --> 00:36:22,510
I'm like a wife.
701
00:36:22,511 --> 00:36:27,511
I'm like a boring, clinging,
miserable little wife.
702
00:36:28,726 --> 00:36:31,770
- Who'd wanna come home to me?
- Mel.
703
00:36:31,771 --> 00:36:33,730
Well, Ican't do this!
I can't do this any more!
704
00:36:33,731 --> 00:36:36,441
You can't do what?
705
00:36:36,442 --> 00:36:38,068
I'm just living in your margins.
706
00:36:38,069 --> 00:36:40,737
I don't know what I'm doing here.
I don't know what my purpose is.
707
00:36:40,738 --> 00:36:43,948
- Well, tell me what you want.
- I want to stop needing you!
708
00:36:43,949 --> 00:36:45,116
I want you to know something.
709
00:36:45,117 --> 00:36:50,038
I asked Whigham
if he'd send me to France.
710
00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:55,039
- Is that what you want?
- That's what I want.
711
00:36:56,879 --> 00:36:59,089
- What are you doing, Louise?
- I can't work around you.
712
00:36:59,090 --> 00:37:00,256
Will you tell me why you're doing this?
713
00:37:00,257 --> 00:37:02,092
I'm not taken seriously
when you're around.
714
00:37:02,093 --> 00:37:03,551
When I'm around
you're not taken seriously?
715
00:37:03,552 --> 00:37:04,761
Oh, God, this is not good.
716
00:37:04,762 --> 00:37:06,221
You mean
you think I'm taken more seriously?
717
00:37:06,222 --> 00:37:07,389
Is that what you're talking about?
718
00:37:07,390 --> 00:37:09,099
Do you mean you're not?
Come on, Jack.
719
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:11,267
You know what I'm saying.
You're not being honest with me.
720
00:37:11,268 --> 00:37:12,435
I don't know what you're saying.
721
00:37:12,436 --> 00:37:15,063
You're not being honest with me.
Please, be honest with me.
722
00:37:15,064 --> 00:37:16,231
I am so being honest with you.
723
00:37:16,232 --> 00:37:19,109
Maybe if you took yourself a little more
seriously, other people would, too.
724
00:37:19,110 --> 00:37:20,610
I told you what I thought
about the Armory piece.
725
00:37:20,611 --> 00:37:21,820
I was honest about that.
726
00:37:21,821 --> 00:37:24,447
I think it's very nice,
but no, I don't take it very seriously.
727
00:37:24,448 --> 00:37:25,615
- Thank you.
- Why do you even expect
728
00:37:25,616 --> 00:37:28,785
to be taken seriously if you're
not writing about serious things?
729
00:37:28,786 --> 00:37:30,120
I don't understand that.
730
00:37:30,121 --> 00:37:32,330
I found myself an apartment.
I'm looking for one.
731
00:37:32,331 --> 00:37:34,499
I'm not even sure I know
what things you're serious about.
732
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:35,917
One day you're writing
about the rail roads,
733
00:37:35,918 --> 00:37:37,168
and you don't even finish the piece.
734
00:37:37,169 --> 00:37:39,254
The next day you're doing a piece
on an art exhibition
735
00:37:39,255 --> 00:37:40,797
that happened three years ago.
736
00:37:40,798 --> 00:37:42,632
Look, why do you give me
anything to read, anyway?
737
00:37:42,633 --> 00:37:45,176
If I criticise it at all,
you tell me you like it the way it is.
738
00:37:45,177 --> 00:37:46,678
And when we're out with other people,
739
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:48,513
if somebody doesn't ask you
a direct question,
740
00:37:48,514 --> 00:37:49,973
you tell me you feel ignored.
741
00:37:49,974 --> 00:37:52,142
But with everything
that's happening in the world today,
742
00:37:52,143 --> 00:37:53,852
you decide to sit down and write a piece
743
00:37:53,853 --> 00:37:57,689
on the influence of the goddamned
Armory Show of 1913!
744
00:37:57,690 --> 00:37:59,482
Are people supposed
to take that seriously?
745
00:37:59,483 --> 00:38:00,817
Well, I don't really care!
746
00:38:00,818 --> 00:38:02,277
- You care!
- I'm not really... I don't care!
747
00:38:02,278 --> 00:38:03,945
- You care!
- I don't care!
748
00:38:03,946 --> 00:38:07,115
And I'm not interested
in whether your stupid friends
749
00:38:07,116 --> 00:38:09,367
- take me seriously or not!
- Well, they don't take it seriously.
750
00:38:09,368 --> 00:38:10,660
That's why they don't take it seriously.
751
00:38:10,661 --> 00:38:12,871
I found an apartment on Houston Street,
and I'm moving in.
752
00:38:12,872 --> 00:38:15,498
And I'll tell you something else,
Jack Reed.
753
00:38:15,499 --> 00:38:17,959
I don't think we like the same people
or the same kind of life.
754
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,044
- And I wanna be on my own.
- Go ahead, be on your own!
755
00:38:20,045 --> 00:38:21,713
I don't give a damn!
You're on your own anyway.
756
00:38:21,714 --> 00:38:23,381
Oh! I know you don't give a damn!
757
00:38:23,382 --> 00:38:25,175
Well, will you tell me
why the hell I should give a damn?
758
00:38:25,176 --> 00:38:26,509
You shouldn't! Don't give a damn!
759
00:38:26,510 --> 00:38:29,179
- I don't give a damn, either!
- That's right! I don't give a damn!
760
00:38:29,180 --> 00:38:34,180
- I'm getting out of here!
- Good, fine! I'm leaving, too!
761
00:39:19,522 --> 00:39:24,400
Honey, can we just
get out of New York?
762
00:39:24,401 --> 00:39:29,401
Let's go Somewhere
and just write what we wanna write.
763
00:40:00,604 --> 00:40:05,604
Provincetown was
just a tiny little fishing village.
764
00:40:05,943 --> 00:40:09,988
And it was very, very conservative.
765
00:40:09,989 --> 00:40:13,658
We'd take the Fall River steamer
up there, /remember, eve/y summer.
766
00:40:13,659 --> 00:40:16,327
We used to save fares
by sleeping in tiers.
767
00:40:16,328 --> 00:40:18,329
And we always got bedbugs.
768
00:40:18,330 --> 00:40:20,415
You did whatever you pleased up there.
769
00:40:20,416 --> 00:40:23,960
And we put on some very
interesting plays, experimental plays
770
00:40:23,961 --> 00:40:26,504
that a commercial theatre
cou/dn 't possibly do.
771
00:40:26,505 --> 00:40:29,465
Take Susan G/aspe//'s Trifles.
772
00:40:29,466 --> 00:40:31,134
There's a whole play
773
00:40:31,135 --> 00:40:34,637
without the protagonist
even appearing on the stage.
774
00:40:34,638 --> 00:40:37,307
And they gave three one-act plays.
775
00:40:37,308 --> 00:40:39,350
One of them was a play by...
776
00:40:39,351 --> 00:40:43,146
I always thought it was by John Reed
and Louise Bryant.
777
00:40:43,147 --> 00:40:44,981
But I see it's by her.
778
00:40:44,982 --> 00:40:46,149
They were in it.
779
00:40:46,150 --> 00:40:49,485
The play was terrible,
and they were worse.
780
00:40:49,486 --> 00:40:52,864
And of course, Gene O'Neill
was known as the poet,
781
00:40:52,865 --> 00:40:56,367
but/ liked his plays
better than his poet/y.
782
00:40:56,368 --> 00:40:57,660
Will you never understand?
783
00:40:57,661 --> 00:41:00,330
Are you so stupid
that you do not know what I mean?
784
00:41:00,331 --> 00:41:02,123
I am offering myself to you.
785
00:41:02,124 --> 00:41:04,208
I am kneeling before you.
786
00:41:04,209 --> 00:41:06,502
I have promised you my body,
787
00:41:06,503 --> 00:41:08,838
my body that men have
found so beautiful.
788
00:41:08,839 --> 00:41:13,676
I have promised to love you,
a negro sailor!
789
00:41:13,677 --> 00:41:17,305
Tell them not to stand behind the moon.
790
00:41:17,306 --> 00:41:19,223
Don't stand behind the moon.
791
00:41:19,224 --> 00:41:21,517
- Back?
- Can you step back a little bit?
792
00:41:21,518 --> 00:41:22,727
'Cause of the moon.
793
00:41:22,728 --> 00:41:24,520
This is the moon here.
794
00:41:24,521 --> 00:41:26,064
- This way?
- Yes.
795
00:41:26,065 --> 00:41:28,191
Take it from "I hate the sea."
796
00:41:28,192 --> 00:41:29,400
Will you never understand?
797
00:41:29,401 --> 00:41:31,527
Are you so stupid
that you don't know what I mean?
798
00:41:31,528 --> 00:41:33,363
I'm offering myself to you.
799
00:41:33,364 --> 00:41:35,823
I'm kneeling before you.
800
00:41:35,824 --> 00:41:38,701
I... I, who have had so many men
kneel before me,
801
00:41:38,702 --> 00:41:40,703
I'm offering you my body,
802
00:41:40,704 --> 00:41:44,207
my body that men have
found so beautiful.
803
00:41:44,208 --> 00:41:46,376
I have promised to love you.
804
00:41:46,377 --> 00:41:48,378
You, a negro sailor.
805
00:41:48,379 --> 00:41:52,173
Is that not humiliation enough
that you must keep me waiting so?
806
00:41:52,174 --> 00:41:54,258
Answer me, please! Answer me.
807
00:41:54,259 --> 00:41:57,679
Will you give me that water?
808
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,390
I have no water.
809
00:42:00,391 --> 00:42:02,225
Old Teddy wants this war, doesn't he?
810
00:42:02,226 --> 00:42:04,894
I wonder how long it'll take the public
to find out he's a maniac.
811
00:42:04,895 --> 00:42:07,689
Teddy Roosevelt has rabies.
Universal military training.
812
00:42:07,690 --> 00:42:09,399
Jack, your second speech is out.
813
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,235
And the ironic part of it is
that poor people, they love him.
814
00:42:12,236 --> 00:42:15,238
Sure, they do.
They'll take him up San Juan Hill again.
815
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,115
You can't touch the bunny suit.
It's rented.
816
00:42:17,116 --> 00:42:18,574
Did you read the piece
on the convention?
817
00:42:18,575 --> 00:42:21,035
If the left doesn't defend Wilson,
we're gonna get President Hughes.
818
00:42:21,036 --> 00:42:22,245
Think we ought to go to St Louis?
819
00:42:22,246 --> 00:42:24,080
I am not going to St Louis
to defend Wilson.
820
00:42:24,081 --> 00:42:26,207
- I think we should.
- Why? What good would it do?
821
00:42:26,208 --> 00:42:28,126
I don't know,
if you don't think Hughes would have us
822
00:42:28,127 --> 00:42:30,294
in a war in a few months,
it wouldn't do any good at all.
823
00:42:30,295 --> 00:42:32,588
Wilson's kept us out so far.
824
00:42:32,589 --> 00:42:34,424
Reed thought that he was a good poet.
825
00:42:34,425 --> 00:42:36,426
He was a terrible poet.
826
00:42:36,427 --> 00:42:38,803
He thought that he could write
good novels.
827
00:42:38,804 --> 00:42:40,430
Short stories.
828
00:42:40,431 --> 00:42:41,931
Of course, he was a poet.
829
00:42:41,932 --> 00:42:45,893
And not a great poet,
830
00:42:45,894 --> 00:42:48,646
but some of it was very fine.
831
00:42:48,647 --> 00:42:53,067
But, as a journalist,
Jack Reed topped them all.
832
00:42:53,068 --> 00:42:55,236
- Look. Pull this up.
- Hey, Jack.
833
00:42:55,237 --> 00:42:57,280
See? That's good.
834
00:42:57,281 --> 00:42:59,741
Jack, your ride's here.
835
00:42:59,742 --> 00:43:03,995
- Excuse me. I'll wait outside.
- Okay. Okay.
836
00:43:03,996 --> 00:43:08,996
- Do you see what I mean? If one...
- Jack, the taxi's waiting.
837
00:43:11,086 --> 00:43:15,798
Yeah, I got to run.
838
00:43:15,799 --> 00:43:20,799
Bye, honey.
839
00:43:25,017 --> 00:43:27,143
Jack Reed wanted to stir up trouble,
840
00:43:27,144 --> 00:43:29,604
he wanted to stir up trouble
for the capitalists.
841
00:43:29,605 --> 00:43:33,149
And he also wanted
to arouse the working masses
842
00:43:33,150 --> 00:43:36,819
to the necessity of some
kind of effective united action.
843
00:43:36,820 --> 00:43:41,820
In other words, I am accusing him
of either being a busybody
844
00:43:41,950 --> 00:43:45,828
or of being a fraidy-cat,
845
00:43:45,829 --> 00:43:50,829
not wanting to face things
of his own nature.
846
00:43:52,461 --> 00:43:56,005
Dear Louise, St Louis is very hot
and very crowded with Democrats,
847
00:43:56,006 --> 00:43:59,008
all having a wonderful time
and wearing little paper hats
848
00:43:59,009 --> 00:44:00,968
in anticipation of Wilson's nomination.
849
00:44:00,969 --> 00:44:02,178
I'd like to think it's because
850
00:44:02,179 --> 00:44:04,222
he doesn't want the United States
to go into the war,
851
00:44:04,223 --> 00:44:06,182
but who knows
the mind of a Democrat?
852
00:44:06,183 --> 00:44:09,185
By the way, I've decided to throw out
the poem on white lilies.
853
00:44:09,186 --> 00:44:10,728
The rhyming scheme was wrong.
854
00:44:10,729 --> 00:44:12,980
Maybe when I get back
I can start it again.
855
00:44:12,981 --> 00:44:15,566
Politics sure plays hell
with your poet/y.
856
00:44:15,567 --> 00:44:18,486
/keep thinking I see you.
It's the damnedest thing.
857
00:44:18,487 --> 00:44:23,487
/miss you, honey.
I miss walking on the beach.
858
00:45:05,409 --> 00:45:10,409
- Hello.
- Where's the whisky?
859
00:45:16,962 --> 00:45:21,962
Would you like a glass?
860
00:45:27,723 --> 00:45:29,974
Don't try and decide.
861
00:45:29,975 --> 00:45:34,975
I'll get you one.
862
00:45:36,732 --> 00:45:38,441
I like your play.
863
00:45:38,442 --> 00:45:41,777
I only hope I can do the partjustice.
864
00:45:41,778 --> 00:45:44,447
I think your dialogue is beautiful.
I really do, I love it...
865
00:45:44,448 --> 00:45:46,741
Then why the hell
don't you just stand still and say it
866
00:45:46,742 --> 00:45:48,951
instead of wandering all over the stage?
867
00:45:48,952 --> 00:45:51,287
You're supposed to be looking
for your soul, not an ashtray.
868
00:45:51,288 --> 00:45:52,747
Would you rather I didn't smoke
during rehearsals?
869
00:45:52,748 --> 00:45:55,458
I'd rather you went up in flames
than put out your Cigarette
870
00:45:55,459 --> 00:45:57,293
in the middle
of a monologue about birth.
871
00:45:57,294 --> 00:45:58,502
I'm sorry. You're absolutely right.
872
00:45:58,503 --> 00:46:00,463
It makes me wanna cancel
the whole production.
873
00:46:00,464 --> 00:46:05,464
I won't do it again.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
874
00:46:12,976 --> 00:46:15,937
You keep the glass. I'll take the bottle.
875
00:46:15,938 --> 00:46:18,105
Are you leaving?
876
00:46:18,106 --> 00:46:23,106
Give me your glass.
877
00:46:30,953 --> 00:46:33,287
Are you nervous?
878
00:46:33,288 --> 00:46:36,707
- Or is that a tremor?
- Why aren't you in Chicago with Jack?
879
00:46:36,708 --> 00:46:41,708
Why should I be?
He has his things, I have mine.
880
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:56,640
- What are they?
- What?
881
00:46:57,396 --> 00:47:01,482
The things that you have that are yours.
882
00:47:01,483 --> 00:47:04,777
What are they?
883
00:47:04,778 --> 00:47:07,446
My work, for one.
884
00:47:07,447 --> 00:47:10,700
He's a real mean
son of a bitch, isn't he?
885
00:47:10,701 --> 00:47:12,201
What do you mean?
886
00:47:12,202 --> 00:47:15,121
Leaving you alone with your work.
887
00:47:15,122 --> 00:47:18,874
- You think I mind?
- You should.
888
00:47:18,875 --> 00:47:21,377
It's the one thing
we mustn't be left alone with.
889
00:47:21,378 --> 00:47:23,963
- You may feel that way, I don't.
- Good.
890
00:47:23,964 --> 00:47:28,426
Don't let those village radicals keep you
from being what you should be.
891
00:47:28,427 --> 00:47:31,053
What do you think I should be?
892
00:47:31,054 --> 00:47:34,098
The centre of attention.
893
00:47:34,099 --> 00:47:37,393
Well, you must have been
with some very competitive women.
894
00:47:37,394 --> 00:47:39,312
Let's just say possessive.
895
00:47:39,313 --> 00:47:42,273
Possessive? That's something else.
896
00:47:42,274 --> 00:47:44,442
It's a waste of time.
897
00:47:44,443 --> 00:47:46,736
I'm not.
898
00:47:46,737 --> 00:47:49,071
Neither is Jack, for that matter.
899
00:47:49,072 --> 00:47:52,575
Oh, yes. I know.
You and Jack have your own things.
900
00:47:52,576 --> 00:47:55,619
He has the freedom to do the things
that he wants to and so do I.
901
00:47:55,620 --> 00:47:57,747
And I think anyone Who's afraid
of that kind of freedom
902
00:47:57,748 --> 00:48:01,334
is really only afraid
of his own emptiness.
903
00:48:01,335 --> 00:48:05,087
Are you making this up
as you go along?
904
00:48:05,088 --> 00:48:09,342
I'd like you to go.
905
00:48:09,343 --> 00:48:10,593
Why?
906
00:48:10,594 --> 00:48:12,011
Because I don't want to be patronised.
907
00:48:12,012 --> 00:48:14,138
I'm sorry if you don't believe
in mutual independence
908
00:48:14,139 --> 00:48:15,598
and free love and respect.
909
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:20,599
Don't give me a lot of parlour socialism
that you learned in the Village.
910
00:48:20,604 --> 00:48:25,316
If you were mine, I wouldn't share you
with anybody or anything.
911
00:48:25,317 --> 00:48:30,317
It'd bejust you and me.
You'd be at the centre of it all.
912
00:48:31,531 --> 00:48:33,699
You know,
it would feel a lot more like love
913
00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:38,700
than being left alone with your work.
914
00:48:48,340 --> 00:48:52,468
- I hope I haven't upset you.
- Not at all. I'm grateful.
915
00:48:52,469 --> 00:48:55,012
But you seem to be looking
for something much more serious
916
00:48:55,013 --> 00:48:57,556
than what I had in mind.
917
00:48:57,557 --> 00:49:00,643
- Than what you had in mind?
- Yes.
918
00:49:00,644 --> 00:49:04,230
You see, Jack and I
are both perfectly capable
919
00:49:04,231 --> 00:49:07,691
of living with our beliefs.
920
00:49:07,692 --> 00:49:11,529
But I think someone as romantic as you
would be destroyed by them.
921
00:49:11,530 --> 00:49:16,530
And I don't want that to happen.
It would upset Jack too much.
922
00:49:37,889 --> 00:49:41,517
You can't come and play in my yard.
923
00:49:41,518 --> 00:49:45,271
I don't love you any more.
924
00:49:45,272 --> 00:49:48,399
You'll be sony when you see me.
925
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,027
Sliding down my cellar door.
926
00:49:52,028 --> 00:49:55,573
You can't holler down my rain barre/.
927
00:49:55,574 --> 00:50:00,574
You can't climb my apple tree.
928
00:50:00,745 --> 00:50:04,081
I don't want to play in your yard.
929
00:50:04,082 --> 00:50:09,082
If you can't be good to me.
930
00:50:40,785 --> 00:50:43,746
I don't want to play in your yard.
931
00:50:43,747 --> 00:50:46,457
I don't like you any more.
932
00:50:46,458 --> 00:50:49,418
You'll be sony when you see me.
933
00:50:49,419 --> 00:50:52,963
Sliding down our cellar door.
934
00:50:52,964 --> 00:50:55,966
You can't holler down our rain barre/.
935
00:50:55,967 --> 00:50:59,803
You can't climb our apple tree.
936
00:50:59,804 --> 00:51:03,265
I don't want to play in your yard.
937
00:51:03,266 --> 00:51:08,266
If you won't be good to me.
938
00:51:09,356 --> 00:51:14,356
Wonderful!
939
00:51:27,916 --> 00:51:32,916
Floyd, I've been
waiting for this for weeks.
940
00:51:52,274 --> 00:51:57,274
Tap your sensuality.
941
00:52:09,916 --> 00:52:12,209
- Wonderful close.
- Extraordinary.
942
00:52:12,210 --> 00:52:16,297
Very good. Excellent.
943
00:52:16,298 --> 00:52:19,216
- Floyd, that's new for you, isn't it?
- Max, what about you?
944
00:52:19,217 --> 00:52:20,426
- Okay. Who's next?
- I just recited
945
00:52:20,427 --> 00:52:21,802
two-thirds of my new play.
946
00:52:21,803 --> 00:52:24,138
You said it was a work
of uncanny perception.
947
00:52:24,139 --> 00:52:29,139
Oh, did I? How quickly we forget.
948
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,827
- Welll.
- Jack. Come in.
949
00:52:46,828 --> 00:52:48,454
News from the front.
950
00:52:48,455 --> 00:52:49,705
- Hello, Jack.
- Hello, Jack.
951
00:52:49,706 --> 00:52:53,459
- Hi, Jack.
- How was the trip?
952
00:52:53,460 --> 00:52:55,336
Welcome back.
953
00:52:55,337 --> 00:52:57,546
- Who's next?
- Nobody's next.
954
00:52:57,547 --> 00:52:59,423
Let's have a dance out of Gene.
955
00:52:59,424 --> 00:53:03,344
Jack, you're just in time
to see O'Neill dance.
956
00:53:03,345 --> 00:53:05,471
Okay. Do something Irish.
Come on, Gene.
957
00:53:05,472 --> 00:53:07,139
Yeah. Let's have it, Gene.
958
00:53:07,140 --> 00:53:09,558
- Yeah. Go ahead Gene.
- Recite something from your new play.
959
00:53:09,559 --> 00:53:10,976
Hutch says it's wonderful.
960
00:53:10,977 --> 00:53:13,646
Tell us about the convention, Jack.
How was Wilson's speech?
961
00:53:13,647 --> 00:53:18,233
Never mind the speech.
What was he wearing?
962
00:53:18,234 --> 00:53:23,234
- What about Wilson?
- Yeah. What about Wilson?
963
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,659
Oh, I don't think there's any reason to
believe that Wilson's gonna do anything
964
00:53:26,660 --> 00:53:30,621
other than support the interest of the
ruling class and take us into the war.
965
00:53:30,622 --> 00:53:33,999
But as long as he says he's against it,
then I think we have to support him.
966
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,252
Because he'll have to make good on
that campaign promise
967
00:53:37,253 --> 00:53:39,380
for at least a few months
and that might give us time
968
00:53:39,381 --> 00:53:41,006
to strengthen the anti-war coalition.
969
00:53:41,007 --> 00:53:46,007
But there's a lot more pro-war feeling in
the streets now than there was before...
970
00:54:00,110 --> 00:54:05,110
You want another drink, Gene?
971
00:54:06,950 --> 00:54:11,950
I guess not.
972
00:54:22,841 --> 00:54:26,802
- Good night.
- Night.
973
00:54:26,803 --> 00:54:31,803
Good night.
974
00:54:38,773 --> 00:54:41,024
Would you like
some cold tea with lemon?
975
00:54:41,025 --> 00:54:43,402
No, thanks.
976
00:54:43,403 --> 00:54:48,403
Well, I'll have some, anyway.
977
00:54:58,418 --> 00:55:01,628
- What's this?
- A poem.
978
00:55:01,629 --> 00:55:06,629
May I read it?
979
00:55:07,093 --> 00:55:12,093
I didn't finish it.
980
00:55:25,904 --> 00:55:30,904
Finish it.
981
00:55:33,495 --> 00:55:38,495
Finish it?
982
00:55:38,625 --> 00:55:43,625
Would that make you happy?
If I were a poet?
983
00:55:44,923 --> 00:55:49,923
I'm haPPV-
984
00:55:56,768 --> 00:56:00,395
- Jack.
- Why don't you get some sleep?
985
00:56:00,396 --> 00:56:04,066
Jack.
986
00:56:04,067 --> 00:56:06,610
There's something
that I have to tell you.
987
00:56:06,611 --> 00:56:10,405
- You don't have to tell me anything.
- No?
988
00:56:10,406 --> 00:56:10,906
No.
989
00:56:20,959 --> 00:56:25,959
You want to get married?
990
00:56:54,033 --> 00:56:59,033
Okay. There we go. I'll see...
991
00:56:59,998 --> 00:57:03,834
- Oh, careful there. Careful.
- There's two more to come.
992
00:57:03,835 --> 00:57:08,835
Two? No, there should be three.
993
00:57:11,843 --> 00:57:14,428
Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry to hover like this.
994
00:57:14,429 --> 00:57:16,263
It's not that
you're not doing a wonderful job.
995
00:57:16,264 --> 00:57:21,264
It's just that I'm very concerned
about this one particular box.
996
00:57:21,686 --> 00:57:26,686
- Here. No. No.
- I'll take it.
997
00:57:46,210 --> 00:57:48,754
Where's the whisky?
998
00:57:48,755 --> 00:57:51,840
- Lady, where do you want this?
- Oh, just put it over there.
999
00:57:51,841 --> 00:57:56,136
That'll be fine. Thank you.
1000
00:57:56,137 --> 00:57:59,181
Yeah.
1001
00:57:59,182 --> 00:58:01,725
- Anything to drink in there?
- Drink?
1002
00:58:01,726 --> 00:58:04,645
Oh, here. Thanks.
Thank you very much. I...
1003
00:58:04,646 --> 00:58:09,646
- Thank you. Good.
- Thank you.
1004
00:58:14,238 --> 00:58:19,238
Oh. Well. Let's see now. Here we are.
1005
00:58:22,246 --> 00:58:25,165
- Gene?
- No glass?
1006
00:58:25,166 --> 00:58:28,293
Oh. Let's see.
1007
00:58:28,294 --> 00:58:33,256
Well, I guess I should have
labelled these, shouldn't I have?
1008
00:58:33,257 --> 00:58:36,176
No. No, that isn't the right one.
1009
00:58:36,177 --> 00:58:38,637
Try this one.
1010
00:58:38,638 --> 00:58:41,640
Well, what are you working on, Gene?
1011
00:58:41,641 --> 00:58:43,684
At the moment, Scotch.
1012
00:58:43,685 --> 00:58:46,478
I found a cup. Will a cup be all right?
1013
00:58:46,479 --> 00:58:50,983
- I'd prefer a glass.
- A glass.
1014
00:58:50,984 --> 00:58:55,612
You know,
you left without saying goodbye.
1015
00:58:55,613 --> 00:58:59,950
That's not like you, not that I have
the slightest idea what you're like.
1016
00:58:59,951 --> 00:59:04,951
Success at last. See, a... Here we go.
1017
00:59:13,881 --> 00:59:16,800
Your skill as a bartender
seems to have deteriorated.
1018
00:59:16,801 --> 00:59:20,012
- Are you nervous?
- Yes. No. I'm...
1019
00:59:20,013 --> 00:59:25,013
Why should I be nervous? My God,
it's gonna smell like a saloon in here.
1020
00:59:36,863 --> 00:59:41,863
- What is it?
- It's a poem telling you that I love you.
1021
00:59:42,201 --> 00:59:45,537
And that I won't be possessive
and I won't be jealous.
1022
00:59:45,538 --> 00:59:49,791
And you can sleep with whoever
you want, live with whoever you want.
1023
00:59:49,792 --> 00:59:54,792
I'll do anything that you say.
I'd like to kill you, but I can't.
1024
00:59:55,715 --> 00:59:59,509
So you can do whatever you want to,
1025
00:59:59,510 --> 01:00:03,555
except not see me.
1026
01:00:03,556 --> 01:00:08,556
Or smoke during the monologue.
1027
01:00:10,730 --> 01:00:13,774
Gene, Jack and I,
we haven't told anyone yet
1028
01:00:13,775 --> 01:00:17,069
because we were too embarrassed.
1029
01:00:17,070 --> 01:00:19,946
But
1030
01:00:19,947 --> 01:00:21,907
we're married.
1031
01:00:21,908 --> 01:00:26,908
Jack and I got married.
1032
01:00:27,455 --> 01:00:31,124
- That is embarrassing.
- Yes. Isn't it?
1033
01:00:31,125 --> 01:00:33,752
We felt very silly, but we wanted to do it.
1034
01:00:33,753 --> 01:00:36,046
And it's gonna be good.
We're gonna work together.
1035
01:00:36,047 --> 01:00:37,881
We're gonna spend
all our time together.
1036
01:00:37,882 --> 01:00:39,674
That's why we took a lease
on this place,
1037
01:00:39,675 --> 01:00:41,343
so we wouldn't have to go back
to the city.
1038
01:00:41,344 --> 01:00:42,803
Does this mean that we have to cheat?
1039
01:00:42,804 --> 01:00:44,846
Or is this a free
and independent marriage?
1040
01:00:44,847 --> 01:00:47,307
- Gene.
- You're a lying Irish whore from Portland
1041
01:00:47,308 --> 01:00:50,477
and you used me
to get Jack Reed to marry you.
1042
01:00:50,478 --> 01:00:52,646
No, I didn't.
1043
01:00:52,647 --> 01:00:54,856
I just want us to be friends, Gene.
1044
01:00:54,857 --> 01:00:57,692
Oh, how genteel. That would be a
good role for you, wouldn't it?
1045
01:00:57,693 --> 01:01:00,654
"There's Louise with Jack and Gene."
1046
01:01:00,655 --> 01:01:03,365
"He's crazy about her,
but Jack doesn't know."
1047
01:01:03,366 --> 01:01:08,366
"Poor Jack. Poor Gene.
What a heartbreaker she is."
1048
01:01:13,251 --> 01:01:17,170
What a heartbreaker you are, Louise.
1049
01:01:17,171 --> 01:01:21,299
I'm sorry. I'm...
1050
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:25,220
Where is he?
1051
01:01:25,221 --> 01:01:26,721
Washington.
1052
01:01:26,722 --> 01:01:29,474
Well, Mrs Reed,
1053
01:01:29,475 --> 01:01:34,475
I'll do whatever you say.
What do you want me to do?
1054
01:01:35,439 --> 01:01:40,439
Wish us well?
1055
01:01:48,828 --> 01:01:52,497
I wish you well.
1056
01:01:52,498 --> 01:01:57,498
You and Jack.
1057
01:02:31,913 --> 01:02:34,873
Jack!
1058
01:02:34,874 --> 01:02:39,169
Oh, God.
1059
01:02:39,170 --> 01:02:42,464
I'm not sure whether she had an affair
1060
01:02:42,465 --> 01:02:45,717
with Eugene O'Neill or not
during this time.
1061
01:02:45,718 --> 01:02:48,470
And nobody seemed to know. Or...
1062
01:02:48,471 --> 01:02:51,932
It was nobody's business, anyway, so...
1063
01:02:51,933 --> 01:02:54,601
I don't know what that situation was.
1064
01:02:54,602 --> 01:02:58,230
The report was that
she and Reed and O'Neill
1065
01:02:58,231 --> 01:03:03,231
had a ménage â trois.
1066
01:03:03,653 --> 01:03:08,653
Jack, what... What is...
1067
01:03:21,837 --> 01:03:24,089
Oh, God! I swear...
1068
01:03:24,090 --> 01:03:27,634
that we love America!
1069
01:03:27,635 --> 01:03:30,637
We love her mountains, her forests...
1070
01:03:30,638 --> 01:03:33,014
There were mutinies
in the French army,
1071
01:03:33,015 --> 01:03:36,017
there were mutinies
in various parts of the front.
1072
01:03:36,018 --> 01:03:40,522
And then, in 1917, the troops,
poorly armed,
1073
01:03:40,523 --> 01:03:43,942
poorly equipped, poorly clothed,
went back to Russia
1074
01:03:43,943 --> 01:03:45,360
to talk it out with the czar.
1075
01:03:45,361 --> 01:03:47,195
And when they got through,
there wasn't any czar.
1076
01:03:47,196 --> 01:03:49,281
Revolution in Russia.
1077
01:03:49,282 --> 01:03:53,118
This was the spring of 1917.
1078
01:03:53,119 --> 01:03:55,453
And I became so excited
1079
01:03:55,454 --> 01:03:59,624
that I zigzag-jumped the benches
1080
01:03:59,625 --> 01:04:01,960
as we walked out of the park.
1081
01:04:01,961 --> 01:04:04,713
Oh, I was so happy as a young boy.
1082
01:04:04,714 --> 01:04:07,966
Revolution, the people take over,
1083
01:04:07,967 --> 01:04:11,303
down with the czar!
1084
01:04:11,304 --> 01:04:16,304
Naturally, I was happy.
1085
01:04:55,765 --> 01:04:58,892
Well, haven't you made the politics
a little nebulous here?
1086
01:04:58,893 --> 01:05:00,935
- What do you mean "nebulous"?
- Unclear...
1087
01:05:00,936 --> 01:05:03,897
- How can you say they're unclear?
- Well, they're unclear to me. I...
1088
01:05:03,898 --> 01:05:05,273
Why am I necessarily attempting
1089
01:05:05,274 --> 01:05:07,567
to define the politics
of a specific group of people?
1090
01:05:07,568 --> 01:05:12,568
It isn't what I said.
I think it's a vast oversimplification.
1091
01:05:13,074 --> 01:05:18,074
Oh, it's just an opinion.
1092
01:05:18,621 --> 01:05:21,206
You know,
if you made carbons of these,
1093
01:05:21,207 --> 01:05:23,750
I could take them on the train with me.
1094
01:05:23,751 --> 01:05:26,294
Wilson, of course,
was elected on the platform of.
1095
01:05:26,295 --> 01:05:29,422
"Keep us out of war" in 1916.
1096
01:05:29,423 --> 01:05:33,635
But in 1917, Wilson reversed himself
1097
01:05:33,636 --> 01:05:37,097
and declared war against Germany.
1098
01:05:37,098 --> 01:05:41,101
The mission at that time was to make
the world safe for democracy.
1099
01:05:41,102 --> 01:05:43,978
Reed said,
1100
01:05:43,979 --> 01:05:48,979
"This is a war for democracy?
Where is the goddamn democracy?"
1101
01:05:49,318 --> 01:05:54,318
If men really disapproved of war, dear,
we'd have stopped wars years ago.
1102
01:05:55,491 --> 01:05:59,244
Men like wars. Always have.
1103
01:05:59,245 --> 01:06:02,789
So they all went and got little uniforms,
went to war.
1104
01:06:02,790 --> 01:06:05,458
- My country is at war!
- Yes.
1105
01:06:05,459 --> 01:06:10,459
And so today, I, too, am at war!
1106
01:06:11,465 --> 01:06:14,634
My name is Jack Reed,
I'm from New York.
1107
01:06:14,635 --> 01:06:17,804
This is not my war, and I'm not gonna
have anything to do with it!
1108
01:06:17,805 --> 01:06:19,681
All right. All right.
1109
01:06:19,682 --> 01:06:20,849
All right, folks.
1110
01:06:20,850 --> 01:06:23,435
There was a lot of anti-war feeling,
of course.
1111
01:06:23,436 --> 01:06:27,605
We had no one against the war.
There wasn't a soul against the war.
1112
01:06:27,606 --> 01:06:32,110
Well, I'm not talking about saying it
to the workers any other way.
1113
01:06:32,111 --> 01:06:34,779
How do we move them?
1114
01:06:34,780 --> 01:06:36,823
Right. How do we organise them?
1115
01:06:36,824 --> 01:06:41,824
The Socialist Party...
1116
01:06:42,538 --> 01:06:44,873
The Socialist Party of America
is nothing to sneeze at.
1117
01:06:44,874 --> 01:06:47,709
You think the Socialist Party
is going to take a position?
1118
01:06:47,710 --> 01:06:49,377
You boys are Reds, aren't you?
1119
01:06:49,378 --> 01:06:53,214
The Socialist Party is useless.
Jack, is that right?
1120
01:06:53,215 --> 01:06:55,717
Now, that's the truth. Jack?
1121
01:06:55,718 --> 01:06:56,885
The United States is at war.
1122
01:06:56,886 --> 01:06:58,803
Your friends are talking to you.
1123
01:06:58,804 --> 01:07:02,307
If the workers of the world act together,
they can stop the war. And I'm not...
1124
01:07:02,308 --> 01:07:06,019
This one even pisses red.
1125
01:07:06,020 --> 01:07:08,730
You ran around saving the world
until your kidney acted up again.
1126
01:07:08,731 --> 01:07:10,023
Very intelligent.
1127
01:07:10,024 --> 01:07:12,066
And you're gonna keep running around
making speeches
1128
01:07:12,067 --> 01:07:13,902
until you wind up
in the hospital. Brilliant.
1129
01:07:13,903 --> 01:07:15,737
And then,
you're gonna lose your kidney. Perfect.
1130
01:07:15,738 --> 01:07:18,198
Harry, how much is the government
paying you to keep me quiet?
1131
01:07:18,199 --> 01:07:19,741
Very funny. Keep laughing.
1132
01:07:19,742 --> 01:07:22,869
- Yeah...
- That hurt, didn't it?
1133
01:07:22,870 --> 01:07:25,038
Listen, I'm gonna tell you something.
1134
01:07:25,039 --> 01:07:27,832
You're not gonna be able to keep doing
what you've been doing.
1135
01:07:27,833 --> 01:07:29,876
This is a serious condition.
It could kill you.
1136
01:07:29,877 --> 01:07:34,005
Harry, look, I want to know if...
1137
01:07:34,006 --> 01:07:36,925
Could this thing interfere
with having children?
1138
01:07:36,926 --> 01:07:41,926
- Yes. You cannot have sex if you die.
- No, come on, Harry. Seriously.
1139
01:07:41,931 --> 01:07:45,391
Are you thinking about having children?
1140
01:07:45,392 --> 01:07:50,392
Not at the moment,
but I want to be able to...
1141
01:07:50,523 --> 01:07:53,775
Is Louise talking about it?
1142
01:07:53,776 --> 01:07:55,109
No.
1143
01:07:55,110 --> 01:07:57,111
Well, just because
she isn't talking about it
1144
01:07:57,112 --> 01:07:58,780
doesn't mean
she isn't thinking about it.
1145
01:07:58,781 --> 01:08:01,115
Don't worry. You don't make babies
with your kidneys.
1146
01:08:01,116 --> 01:08:03,034
Look, I'm gonna send you home
to Louise.
1147
01:08:03,035 --> 01:08:04,786
Tell her to keep you there,
put you in bed,
1148
01:08:04,787 --> 01:08:07,747
give you lots of liquids.
I'm gonna write it all down.
1149
01:08:07,748 --> 01:08:10,792
Look, Louise doesn't know about
this. And I don't want her to, okay?
1150
01:08:10,793 --> 01:08:12,627
- Fine.
- So, can you give me my bill here?
1151
01:08:12,628 --> 01:08:17,628
- I don't want it sent to the house.
- Do you have any money?
1152
01:08:19,301 --> 01:08:20,468
Not at the moment.
1153
01:08:20,469 --> 01:08:23,263
Then why the hell
should I give you a bill? Go home.
1154
01:08:23,264 --> 01:08:26,975
It is my belief that socialism and peace
are inseparable.
1155
01:08:26,976 --> 01:08:30,937
And I reiterate that the Socialist Party
will stand firmly behind
1156
01:08:30,938 --> 01:08:34,315
its resolution to oppose
American involvement in this war!
1157
01:08:34,316 --> 01:08:36,776
Mr Chairman, Louis Fraina,
Local Boston.
1158
01:08:36,777 --> 01:08:39,445
The chair recognises
the delegate from Boston.
1159
01:08:39,446 --> 01:08:40,572
And I still want to know
1160
01:08:40,573 --> 01:08:43,491
what specific action
we are going to take against the war.
1161
01:08:43,492 --> 01:08:45,118
Your resolution is all very nice,
1162
01:08:45,119 --> 01:08:47,996
but will it stop even one boy from
being killed? I don't think so.
1163
01:08:47,997 --> 01:08:50,582
Stigmatised as unpatriotic.
1164
01:08:50,583 --> 01:08:52,792
The task that confronts us is difficult.
1165
01:08:52,793 --> 01:08:54,669
Let us hope
that we can handle it properly.
1166
01:08:54,670 --> 01:08:55,837
What's that supposed to mean?
1167
01:08:55,838 --> 01:08:57,463
Stupid!
1168
01:08:57,464 --> 01:09:01,509
I'd like to know if the Socialist Party
is gonna fight conscription or not.
1169
01:09:01,510 --> 01:09:04,470
- That's what I'd like to know.
- Will the delegate identify himself?
1170
01:09:04,471 --> 01:09:07,015
I am not a delegate, Mr Chairman.
My name is John Reed,
1171
01:09:07,016 --> 01:09:08,600
I write for the magazine The Masses,
1172
01:09:08,601 --> 01:09:11,686
and I want to know if the Socialist Party
is gonna organise demonstrations...
1173
01:09:11,687 --> 01:09:13,855
I'm sorry, Mr Reed.
You have no credentials here.
1174
01:09:13,856 --> 01:09:17,025
Now, this floor is reserved
for delegates, notjournalists.
1175
01:09:17,026 --> 01:09:18,860
Mr Chairman,
is the Socialist Party prepared
1176
01:09:18,861 --> 01:09:20,695
- to take a position on the draft or not?
- Hey, shut up!
1177
01:09:20,696 --> 01:09:23,031
I'm sorry, Mr Reed.
You have no credentials.
1178
01:09:23,032 --> 01:09:24,324
Let him speak, will you?
1179
01:09:24,325 --> 01:09:26,868
Mr Reed,
you're getting into party politics, eh?
1180
01:09:26,869 --> 01:09:29,203
I'm just trying to be a journalist.
Mr Chairman...
1181
01:09:29,204 --> 01:09:32,540
So is Trotsky.
Let us see what happens in Russia.
1182
01:09:32,541 --> 01:09:36,336
Why don't you join the Socialist Party?
We need good people like you.
1183
01:09:36,337 --> 01:09:38,421
Big things are happening in Russia.
1184
01:09:38,422 --> 01:09:42,008
As appalling as it may seem
to see socialists Supporting bloodshed,
1185
01:09:42,009 --> 01:09:44,594
I can understand the necessity
of Supporting one's government
1186
01:09:44,595 --> 01:09:46,054
during times of war.
1187
01:09:46,055 --> 01:09:49,223
The task that confronts us is a giant!
1188
01:09:49,224 --> 01:09:54,224
In that,
we must continue our opposition!
1189
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,536
- We have to give this dog a name.
- Well, she has a name.
1190
01:10:10,537 --> 01:10:12,789
What's the matter with her name?
1191
01:10:12,790 --> 01:10:16,084
- I can't find anything in this house.
- I'm not going to call a dog "Dog."
1192
01:10:16,085 --> 01:10:18,461
I suppose if she were a baby,
you'd wanna call her "Person."
1193
01:10:18,462 --> 01:10:20,421
Not really.
I think I might wanna call her "Jack."
1194
01:10:20,422 --> 01:10:21,923
No. No. Bad.
1195
01:10:21,924 --> 01:10:23,633
See, now this is why
I can't find anything.
1196
01:10:23,634 --> 01:10:24,801
You put things anywhere.
1197
01:10:24,802 --> 01:10:26,427
Dog! Dog!
1198
01:10:26,428 --> 01:10:28,388
She's still not housebroken.
1199
01:10:28,389 --> 01:10:30,890
You got to grab her
when she squats like that,
1200
01:10:30,891 --> 01:10:33,601
and then take her outside. That's right.
1201
01:10:33,602 --> 01:10:36,604
And then when she goes,
you've got to give her a reward.
1202
01:10:36,605 --> 01:10:38,439
All right. Now, stay, Dog.
1203
01:10:38,440 --> 01:10:40,608
Are we having garlic for dinner, honey?
1204
01:10:40,609 --> 01:10:41,221
No, no, no.
1205
01:10:49,451 --> 01:10:53,287
Why? Why, do you think
I'm using too much garlic?
1206
01:10:53,288 --> 01:10:55,790
I thought I'd put a little in the sauce.
1207
01:10:55,791 --> 01:11:00,791
Garlic doesn't bother me.
1208
01:11:09,805 --> 01:11:14,267
- That's from Gene.
- Sorry. I didn't mean to read it.
1209
01:11:14,268 --> 01:11:19,268
I didn't realise what it was.
1210
01:11:23,318 --> 01:11:26,654
He gave it to me in October.
I haven't seen him since.
1211
01:11:26,655 --> 01:11:28,489
- You don't have to explain.
- I'm not explaining.
1212
01:11:28,490 --> 01:11:30,992
- I'm just telling you it's over.
- Louise, look.
1213
01:11:30,993 --> 01:11:32,785
I don't expect you to tell me
everything you do.
1214
01:11:32,786 --> 01:11:34,829
What about if you tell me something,
just tell me the truth?
1215
01:11:34,830 --> 01:11:36,789
- Jack, I haven't seen him.
- Don't do that, Louise.
1216
01:11:36,790 --> 01:11:39,834
Don't tell me that Gene gave you
a love poem six or seven months ago,
1217
01:11:39,835 --> 01:11:41,878
but you put it in a book
and you haven't seen him since.
1218
01:11:41,879 --> 01:11:43,504
I don't care
whether you've seen him or not.
1219
01:11:43,505 --> 01:11:45,131
- I just care about dishonesty.
- Oh, I see.
1220
01:11:45,132 --> 01:11:47,175
You don't care
that I had an affairwith another man,
1221
01:11:47,176 --> 01:11:49,677
you just care about dishonesty?
Look Who's being dishonest.
1222
01:11:49,678 --> 01:11:51,387
You care. You care so much,
you won't even talk about it.
1223
01:11:51,388 --> 01:11:53,222
- You won't even mention...
- Wanna talk? I'll talk about it.
1224
01:11:53,223 --> 01:11:54,390
You want to be honest about it?
1225
01:11:54,391 --> 01:11:55,683
If I didn't wanna be honest about it,
1226
01:11:55,684 --> 01:11:57,518
do you think I'd be silly enough
to leave a poem he gave me
1227
01:11:57,519 --> 01:11:59,687
lying around in the house
in a book of Walt Whitman?
1228
01:11:59,688 --> 01:12:00,855
Why not Whitman?
1229
01:12:00,856 --> 01:12:03,691
I'm sure Gene would feel right at home
in that company.
1230
01:12:03,692 --> 01:12:04,859
Oh, no. You don't care.
1231
01:12:04,860 --> 01:12:07,320
Why the hell should I care that
you slept with somebody else?
1232
01:12:07,321 --> 01:12:08,404
Do you think I haven't?
1233
01:12:08,405 --> 01:12:10,156
I don't think we have to report
to each other
1234
01:12:10,157 --> 01:12:13,034
every time we go to bed with somebody.
It doesn't mean anything.
1235
01:12:13,035 --> 01:12:14,410
It doesn't mean that I love you any less.
1236
01:12:14,411 --> 01:12:19,411
Do you love me any less
'cause you went to bed with Gene?
1237
01:12:21,168 --> 01:12:22,877
What difference does it make?
1238
01:12:22,878 --> 01:12:26,088
I just don't think we should lie about it.
That's all.
1239
01:12:26,089 --> 01:12:29,050
- Who?
- What do you mean, "Who?"
1240
01:12:29,051 --> 01:12:31,719
- Who was it?
- Who was what?
1241
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:33,679
Who was it?
1242
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:38,680
What do you want, a list?
It doesn't mean anything.
1243
01:12:46,860 --> 01:12:50,071
Louise.
1244
01:12:50,072 --> 01:12:50,572
Louise.
1245
01:12:57,704 --> 01:13:00,206
- What are you doing?
- I'm not sure.
1246
01:13:00,207 --> 01:13:02,375
- I wanna know where you're going.
- I don't want to talk about it.
1247
01:13:02,376 --> 01:13:04,794
- Well, I wanna talk about it.
- You said it all, Jack.
1248
01:13:04,795 --> 01:13:07,797
What? What did I say now
that we both haven't said 100 times?
1249
01:13:07,798 --> 01:13:09,382
Please forward my mail
to John K. Wheeler,
1250
01:13:09,383 --> 01:13:10,550
Wheeler Bell Syndicate.
1251
01:13:10,551 --> 01:13:13,052
I'll have someone pick up
the rest of my things in the morning.
1252
01:13:13,053 --> 01:13:15,096
Didn't we say that people had to give
each other freedom
1253
01:13:15,097 --> 01:13:17,306
- if they were gonna live together?
- We said a lot of things.
1254
01:13:17,307 --> 01:13:18,933
I thought
we weren't going to be possessive.
1255
01:13:18,934 --> 01:13:20,810
- I thought you loved me!
- Who says I don't?
1256
01:13:20,811 --> 01:13:23,563
You love yourself! Me, you fuck!
1257
01:13:23,564 --> 01:13:25,898
When you're not fucking other people,
that is!
1258
01:13:25,899 --> 01:13:30,899
Freedom? You mean I should just be
like you and not give a damn, is that...
1259
01:13:31,113 --> 01:13:33,948
Is that what fucking Gene means?
You don't give a damn about us?
1260
01:13:33,949 --> 01:13:37,285
I'm not packing my bag.
I wanna know where you're going.
1261
01:13:37,286 --> 01:13:39,287
- Get out of my...
- Where you going?
1262
01:13:39,288 --> 01:13:43,416
- Get out of my...
- You're not going...
1263
01:13:43,417 --> 01:13:48,417
Get away! Get out of my way.
1264
01:14:10,319 --> 01:14:14,989
- How many were there?
- Come on, Louise.
1265
01:14:14,990 --> 01:14:19,990
You don't know the first thing about
what living together means.
1266
01:14:26,168 --> 01:14:27,710
Go ahead. I know where you're going.
1267
01:14:27,711 --> 01:14:30,713
I thought you needed someone
to share your life with. But I was wrong.
1268
01:14:30,714 --> 01:14:32,506
As long as you get your two shots of
limelight every day.
1269
01:14:32,507 --> 01:14:37,507
You don't need a thing.
1270
01:14:41,350 --> 01:14:46,350
You go to hell! Both of you!
1271
01:15:10,587 --> 01:15:15,587
It could possibly have been
a matter of prestige, you know,
1272
01:15:15,717 --> 01:15:19,345
to say that you had an affair
with Louise Bryant.
1273
01:15:19,346 --> 01:15:21,222
I haven't been spared
1274
01:15:21,223 --> 01:15:25,935
the legends about men that are
supposed to have had affairs with me,
1275
01:15:25,936 --> 01:15:29,438
because I was known by name.
1276
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,400
Affairs which never occurred at all.
1277
01:15:32,401 --> 01:15:35,111
It's very difficult to tell, you know.
1278
01:15:35,112 --> 01:15:38,114
Do you know there is nothing
more bewildering
1279
01:15:38,115 --> 01:15:41,075
than when you get a letter
from a loony who says,
1280
01:15:41,076 --> 01:15:43,536
"That marvellous week
we spent in Venice."
1281
01:15:43,537 --> 01:15:47,206
- Yeah.
- And it happens about every two years.
1282
01:15:47,207 --> 01:15:52,207
- Yes.
- It's most extraordinary.
1283
01:15:52,587 --> 01:15:57,587
One day, I was out walking
with my aunt in Port/and.
1284
01:15:58,093 --> 01:16:01,887
And she was quite something.
She was six feet tall.
1285
01:16:01,888 --> 01:16:04,598
And I said to her,
1286
01:16:04,599 --> 01:16:08,394
"What is all this ado about Louise?"
1287
01:16:08,395 --> 01:16:10,938
"What do you think of her, Aunt Belle?"
1288
01:16:10,939 --> 01:16:12,106
She said,
1289
01:16:12,107 --> 01:16:17,107
"Well, she had something
that just appeals. ".
1290
01:16:19,114 --> 01:16:21,157
That's my story.
1291
01:16:21,158 --> 01:16:23,284
- How you feeling?
- Oh, better.
1292
01:16:23,285 --> 01:16:25,494
- Here you are.
- Oh. Thanks, Harry.
1293
01:16:25,495 --> 01:16:27,121
Thanks.
1294
01:16:27,122 --> 01:16:29,165
Well, we got it outjust in time.
1295
01:16:29,166 --> 01:16:32,460
But since God only knows what
condition the one you've got left is in,
1296
01:16:32,461 --> 01:16:33,836
you better treat it well.
1297
01:16:33,837 --> 01:16:36,964
That means, tell that goddamn Eastman
you got to be in bed by midnight.
1298
01:16:36,965 --> 01:16:40,342
If you get an infection now, that's it!
Absolutely no salt!
1299
01:16:40,343 --> 01:16:42,470
"Dear Jack,
I'm relieved you're feeling so well again.
1300
01:16:42,471 --> 01:16:44,138
"I talked to a specialist here in Paris.
1301
01:16:44,139 --> 01:16:46,599
"And he said you can lead
a perfectly normal life.
1302
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,142
"I hope you're not neglecting
your writing.
1303
01:16:48,143 --> 01:16:49,351
"Please don't spend your energy
1304
01:16:49,352 --> 01:16:51,020
"getting caught up in things
you can't afford. ".
1305
01:16:51,021 --> 01:16:52,646
"Dear Jack, I'm enclosing a piece
I've written

1310
01:16:59,654 --> 01:17:01,822
"Dear Jack, yes,

1312

Wheeler's demands for more stories."

'Letters from France'.

"Please don't mention this to anyone."

01:17:13,543 --> 01:17:15,211
"I promised Wheeler/ wouldn't
say anything to you."
1317
01:17:15,212 --> 01:17:17,880
"Dear Jack, I feel I've really grown
through my work for Wheeler,"
1318
01:17:17,881 --> 01:17:19,965
"and there's no reason to worry about
my being here alone."
1319
01:17:19,966 --> 01:17:22,343
Bolsheviks, Sandy. The Bolsheviks!
1320
01:17:22,344 --> 01:17:24,512
Jesus Christ,
if the Bolsheviks get in, Sandy,
1321
01:17:24,513 --> 01:17:27,389
you can just bend right over
and kiss your ass goodbye.
1322
01:17:27,390 --> 01:17:29,517
Because they'll pull Russia
right out of the war.
1323
01:17:29,518 --> 01:17:31,894
Right off the Eastern Front.
They quit, that's all.
1324
01:17:31,895 --> 01:17:33,813
Pete, the Bolsheviks are small potatoes.
1325
01:17:33,814 --> 01:17:35,731
Russia isn't gonna get out of the war.
1326
01:17:35,732 --> 01:17:38,234
You want to walk down
the Champs-Elysées someday
1327
01:17:38,235 --> 01:17:41,487
and see 500,000 Krauts
come barrelling out of Fouquet's?
1328
01:17:41,488 --> 01:17:44,532
You better hope that the Bolsheviks
are small potatoes.
1329
01:17:44,533 --> 01:17:47,660
Now, let's have another drink. Waiter!
1330
01:17:47,661 --> 01:17:49,745
Waiter, another round here.
1331
01:17:49,746 --> 01:17:51,997
Hey! Oh, God. It's Red Emma, Jr.!
1332
01:17:51,998 --> 01:17:53,707
Hey, come over here!
1333
01:17:53,708 --> 01:17:56,585
Speak up, Pete, speak up.
They can't hear you in the next room.
1334
01:17:56,586 --> 01:17:58,045
- How are you, Jack?
- Good to see you.
1335
01:17:58,046 --> 01:18:00,881
God. You look 20 pounds lighter
since you lost that kidney.
1336
01:18:00,882 --> 01:18:03,050
- Oh, yeah?
- I bet you only piss about half as much.
1337
01:18:03,051 --> 01:18:05,386
Yeah, but twice as often. Sarsaparilla.
1338
01:18:05,387 --> 01:18:07,930
Jack, can the Bolsheviks
overthrow Kerensky?
1339
01:18:07,931 --> 01:18:11,183
Okay. Why don't you ask
an impartial observer?
1340
01:18:11,184 --> 01:18:14,770
Goddamn it, Jack. What the hell
you got against this war anyway?
1341
01:18:14,771 --> 01:18:18,107
Shit, why don't you bury the hatchet
with Wilson?
1342
01:18:18,108 --> 01:18:21,944
Get back into print so we can all read
some decent writing, you know.
1343
01:18:21,945 --> 01:18:25,114
- I'll drink to that.
- You'll drink to anything.
1344
01:18:25,115 --> 01:18:28,701
Well, that's right, too.
It's good to see you.
1345
01:18:28,702 --> 01:18:32,454
Jesus Christ. It's good to see you.
Goddamn, how's Louise?
1346
01:18:32,455 --> 01:18:34,248
Not so good.
1347
01:18:34,249 --> 01:18:36,125
- She's good.
- Tell her from me that I said
1348
01:18:36,126 --> 01:18:39,753
that John Wheeler wouldn't know
a story if it fell right on top of him.
1349
01:18:39,754 --> 01:18:42,214
I'll tell you.
Hey, Jack, what are you doing?
1350
01:18:42,215 --> 01:18:44,425
What the hell are you doing?
You're driving them crazy.
1351
01:18:44,426 --> 01:18:45,885
You realise that?
1352
01:18:45,886 --> 01:18:48,387
They think you're some kind
of goddamn German!
1353
01:18:48,388 --> 01:18:50,639
I love it! Goddamn, I love it!
1354
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:52,308
Give them hell, Jack. Give them hell.
1355
01:18:52,309 --> 01:18:54,768
- Is that a sarsaparilla with ice?
- Yeah, thanks.
1356
01:18:54,769 --> 01:18:57,605
You bet your sweet patoosie,
that's sarsaparilla with ice.
1357
01:18:57,606 --> 01:19:00,774
Why wouldn't John Wheeler
know a story if it fell on him?
1358
01:19:00,775 --> 01:19:03,569
John Wheeler's a dumbbell, that's why.
1359
01:19:03,570 --> 01:19:04,778
No, he's all right.
1360
01:19:04,779 --> 01:19:08,616
I just hate to see Louise get hurt.
That's all.
1361
01:19:08,617 --> 01:19:12,620
What are you talking about?
1362
01:19:12,621 --> 01:19:15,289
Jesus Christ.
1363
01:19:15,290 --> 01:19:18,417
Don't tell her that I told you. All right?
1364
01:19:18,418 --> 01:19:20,628
Told me what?
1365
01:19:20,629 --> 01:19:23,589
Well, Ben Parsons told me
that Wheeler had to let her go
1366
01:19:23,590 --> 01:19:27,468
because she hadn't turned anything in
that he could use,
1367
01:19:27,469 --> 01:19:29,178
other than some story about a cop
1368
01:19:29,179 --> 01:19:33,807
that went over there to drive
a police department ambulance.
1369
01:19:33,808 --> 01:19:38,808
- He let her go?
- Fired her.
1370
01:19:40,482 --> 01:19:43,484
- When did you hear that?
- A couple of weeks ago.
1371
01:19:43,485 --> 01:19:46,862
No, it was a month.
More than a month and a half ago.
1372
01:19:46,863 --> 01:19:49,823
Oh, look, Jack,
Wheeler's a goddamn moron.
1373
01:19:49,824 --> 01:19:52,034
Tell her she shouldn't feel ashamed
about being fired.
1374
01:19:52,035 --> 01:19:54,203
- I'm gonna see you later, huh?
- Jack, what's the matter?
1375
01:19:54,204 --> 01:19:56,956
Hell, we've all been fired.
I've been fired.
1376
01:19:56,957 --> 01:19:58,499
Hell, I'll drink to it.
1377
01:19:58,500 --> 01:20:01,835
Imagine, 65 million
1378
01:20:01,836 --> 01:20:03,837
go to war. Right?
1379
01:20:03,838 --> 01:20:06,340
10 million die.
1380
01:20:06,341 --> 01:20:08,676
10 million become orphans.
1381
01:20:08,677 --> 01:20:13,677
20 million become maimed, crippled,
or wounded.
1382
01:20:13,848 --> 01:20:17,351
You had catastrophe in Europe.
1383
01:20:17,352 --> 01:20:20,646
You had a holocaust in Europe.
1384
01:20:20,647 --> 01:20:23,524
You had a desire for change.
1385
01:20:23,525 --> 01:20:24,733
Who can stop them
1386
01:20:24,734 --> 01:20:28,320
when there was
such a revo/utiona/y sentiment? Huh?
1387
01:20:28,321 --> 01:20:33,321
Who could stop them?
1388
01:20:40,208 --> 01:20:45,208
You know, I think I'm gonna have to get
a new typewriter...
1389
01:20:46,047 --> 01:20:51,047
- What are you...
- What?
1390
01:20:51,052 --> 01:20:53,053
You look fine. Are you all right now?
1391
01:20:53,054 --> 01:20:56,557
Oh, God, yes.
Nobody needs two kidneys.
1392
01:20:56,558 --> 01:21:00,394
The second one's just for show.
1393
01:21:00,395 --> 01:21:05,395
Sorry, this isn't a very good time.
1394
01:21:07,068 --> 01:21:10,237
They're moving me
to another communications centre.
1395
01:21:10,238 --> 01:21:13,449
So, I'm just not going to be able to
talk to you right now, Jack.
1396
01:21:13,450 --> 01:21:16,285
Could we just go out here a second?
Just for a second?
1397
01:21:16,286 --> 01:21:19,621
- Look, I'm on my way to Russia.
- Oh, really? Have you enlisted?
1398
01:21:19,622 --> 01:21:20,789
Very funny.
1399
01:21:20,790 --> 01:21:22,374
I know you're doing work here
that's good,
1400
01:21:22,375 --> 01:21:24,752
'cause I read the ambulance piece
and I thought that was good.
1401
01:21:24,753 --> 01:21:26,253
- Thank you.
- And I know you're working on your book
1402
01:21:26,254 --> 01:21:27,713
and I know how important that is to you.
1403
01:21:27,714 --> 01:21:28,964
But you got to have enough sense
1404
01:21:28,965 --> 01:21:30,966
if you're trying to build up
your reputation as a journalist,
1405
01:21:30,967 --> 01:21:32,593
to be in the right place at the right time.
1406
01:21:32,594 --> 01:21:35,137
- I appreciate your advice.
- Well, the place to be now is Russia.
1407
01:21:35,138 --> 01:21:38,307
- Thank you. I'll remember that.
- Louise, it's chaos. They can't last.
1408
01:21:38,308 --> 01:21:40,726
They're in their third
provisional government in six months.
1409
01:21:40,727 --> 01:21:43,645
You know what that means? It means
there might be another revolution.
1410
01:21:43,646 --> 01:21:47,149
The workers are deserting the factories,
the army's deserting the battlefronts.
1411
01:21:47,150 --> 01:21:50,986
The exiles are all coming back.
The Jews, the anarchists, the socialists.
1412
01:21:50,987 --> 01:21:52,905
All of them are going back,
only this time
1413
01:21:52,906 --> 01:21:54,114
it might be the real thing.
1414
01:21:54,115 --> 01:21:56,325
And if they have
a real workers' revolution in Russia,
1415
01:21:56,326 --> 01:21:58,786
they'd have one in Germany,
and if they had one in Germany,
1416
01:21:58,787 --> 01:22:01,330
- it could happen all over the world.
- Got a match?
1417
01:22:01,331 --> 01:22:03,332
Louise, that'd be the end of the war.
1418
01:22:03,333 --> 01:22:05,125
You don't have to tell me
what's happening in Russia.
1419
01:22:05,126 --> 01:22:06,960
- I read the papers.
- Well, come with me.
1420
01:22:06,961 --> 01:22:09,088
As a colleague,
I'm not talking about anything else.
1421
01:22:09,089 --> 01:22:11,423
Come with me as a colleague.
You ought to be in Petrograd.
1422
01:22:11,424 --> 01:22:13,467
Oh, yeah? Well, that's what you said
about New York!
1423
01:22:13,468 --> 01:22:15,469
- I was right about New York.
- No, I have work I'm doing here.
1424
01:22:15,470 --> 01:22:16,637
And I happen to think my work is...
1425
01:22:16,638 --> 01:22:19,348
It is important. But it's not important as
what you could be doing in Russia.
1426
01:22:19,349 --> 01:22:21,517
I wanna work together. As partners.
1427
01:22:21,518 --> 01:22:24,311
I don't want a partner. And if
I wanted to go to Russia, I'd go alone.
1428
01:22:24,312 --> 01:22:26,188
- I wouldn't need you to take me.
- Louise.
1429
01:22:26,189 --> 01:22:29,274
Russia is not the safest place
in the world for a woman to be alone.
1430
01:22:29,275 --> 01:22:34,275
You may be a hell of a journalist.
But that doesn't mean...
1431
01:22:36,324 --> 01:22:40,994
Louise, we'd better hurry along.
1432
01:22:40,995 --> 01:22:42,871
So, moving you out of here, huh?
1433
01:22:42,872 --> 01:22:45,457
Yes. I've been promised an interview
with General Plumer.
1434
01:22:45,458 --> 01:22:48,836
Well, I've got to run along myself.
1435
01:22:48,837 --> 01:22:51,713
- Sorry I don't have any time.
- No. I don't want to keep you.
1436
01:22:51,714 --> 01:22:54,049
I just...
Look, the seat's already reserved.
1437
01:22:54,050 --> 01:22:56,385
You've wasted your money, Jack.
I don't want it.
1438
01:22:56,386 --> 01:23:00,347
Change the date. Go by yourself.
You can use it whenever you want to.
1439
01:23:00,348 --> 01:23:03,684
Keep up the good work.
1440
01:23:03,685 --> 01:23:06,687
Jack.
1441
01:23:06,688 --> 01:23:08,063
Good luck.
1442
01:23:08,064 --> 01:23:13,064
Yeah, you, too.
1443
01:23:15,321 --> 01:23:20,321
Got a taxi waiting.
1444
01:23:43,391 --> 01:23:45,767
Jack! Jack Reed!
1445
01:23:45,768 --> 01:23:47,853
- Joe, Joe Volski.
- How are you?
1446
01:23:47,854 --> 01:23:51,231
Oh, fine, fine.
Are you going to Petrograd, too?
1447
01:23:51,232 --> 01:23:53,775
- Yes. Yeah.
- Fine. Wonderful!
1448
01:23:53,776 --> 01:23:58,776
Great things are happening.
Are you travelling by yourself?
1449
01:23:59,115 --> 01:24:04,115
- I think I am.
- Well, then I'll switch.
1450
01:24:22,597 --> 01:24:25,641
We met in Chicago.
1451
01:24:25,642 --> 01:24:29,770
Boy, oh, boy. Were you a speaker!
1452
01:24:29,771 --> 01:24:33,398
You don't remember me, eh?
1453
01:24:33,399 --> 01:24:36,652
Well, it's not that.
1454
01:24:36,653 --> 01:24:39,404
- Maybe I just... Maybe it's the hat.
- My hat?
1455
01:24:39,405 --> 01:24:42,241
Yeah. Maybe I just don't recognise you
in this particular hat.
1456
01:24:42,242 --> 01:24:45,911
Oh, then I'm a revolutionary
returning in disguise.
1457
01:24:45,912 --> 01:24:49,289
Well, comes the revolution,
I'll buy you a new hat.
1458
01:24:49,290 --> 01:24:52,417
- I see you're studying Russian.
- Yeah. I'm trying to.
1459
01:24:52,418 --> 01:24:56,171
Know what?
1460
01:24:56,172 --> 01:24:57,422
- What?
- I mean,
1461
01:24:57,423 --> 01:24:59,841
ask me anything you want in Russian.
1462
01:24:59,842 --> 01:25:02,803
Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
1463
01:25:02,804 --> 01:25:04,471
Let's see...
1464
01:25:04,472 --> 01:25:07,099
Excuse me.
Excuse me, now here's the thing.
1465
01:25:07,100 --> 01:25:10,519
I'd be a goddamned fool not to take you
up on this offer. So, here's what I want.
1466
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:12,312
I want to sign my own name
to my own stories
1467
01:25:12,313 --> 01:25:13,981
and I don't want to use a double byline.
1468
01:25:13,982 --> 01:25:16,984
I want to be responsible
for my own time and my own actions.
1469
01:25:16,985 --> 01:25:19,486
I want to be referred to as Miss Bryant,
and not as Mrs Reed,
1470
01:25:19,487 --> 01:25:21,613
and I want to keep an account
of every cent we spend
1471
01:25:21,614 --> 01:25:22,823
so that I can pay you back.
1472
01:25:22,824 --> 01:25:25,158
Now, I assume you know that
I'm not going to sleep with you,
1473
01:25:25,159 --> 01:25:27,953
so just don't confuse the issue
by bringing it up.
1474
01:25:27,954 --> 01:25:30,163
That's it.
1475
01:25:30,164 --> 01:25:31,873
- Fine.
- Good.
1476
01:25:31,874 --> 01:25:36,874
You like salami?
1477
01:25:37,005 --> 01:25:39,464
He says,
"Wait a minute, I have to go back."
1478
01:25:39,465 --> 01:25:41,717
"I forgot my teeth on the table."
1479
01:25:41,718 --> 01:25:43,677
He says, "Hell with your teeth!"
1480
01:25:43,678 --> 01:25:48,678
"What do you think,
they're bombarding with sandwiches?"
1481
01:26:00,028 --> 01:26:02,738
After the revolution,
you'll buy me a new hat.
1482
01:26:02,739 --> 01:26:06,325
Thank you very much.
I'll keep you by your word.
1483
01:26:06,326 --> 01:26:11,326
By the way, did you hear this one?
A man...
1484
01:26:27,263 --> 01:26:30,223
then asks,
"Why do you let your beard grow?"
1485
01:26:30,224 --> 01:26:35,224
He says, "I want to remember
what I ate yesterday."
1486
01:26:41,235 --> 01:26:44,696
This is a hard word,
but it means "I don't smoke."
1487
01:26:44,697 --> 01:26:48,408
Okay-
1488
01:26:48,409 --> 01:26:53,409
"Are you one of the family?"
He said, "No. That's why I'm Crying."
1489
01:26:58,252 --> 01:27:01,213
There's a foreman of a logging camp,
he's trying to hire a crew.
1490
01:27:01,214 --> 01:27:03,465
You know, and he goes down
a long line of very big men
1491
01:27:03,466 --> 01:27:04,716
and he gets to a little man in the back
1492
01:27:04,717 --> 01:27:06,760
and he says, "Who the hell are you?
What're you doing here?"
1493
01:27:06,761 --> 01:27:09,721
"Don't you know that I need men who
can chop down dozens of trees a day?"
1494
01:27:09,722 --> 01:27:11,390
"Where the hell
have you ever worked before?"
1495
01:27:11,391 --> 01:27:13,767
And the little man says,
"Well, I worked in the Sahara forest."
1496
01:27:13,768 --> 01:27:15,602
And the foreman says,
"You mean the Sahara Desert."
1497
01:27:15,603 --> 01:27:20,603
And the little man says,
"Yes, sure, now!"
1498
01:27:21,734 --> 01:27:23,819
A woman knocks at the door
of her neighbour.
1499
01:27:23,820 --> 01:27:25,112
I didn't tell you that?
1500
01:27:25,113 --> 01:27:30,113
She says, "My husband just died.
I want to sell his jacket."
1501
01:27:30,493 --> 01:27:33,620
He says,
"What's the matter with the pants?"
1502
01:27:33,621 --> 01:27:38,621
She says, "The pants, I wear."
1503
01:27:43,673 --> 01:27:48,673
The Russian border.
1504
01:27:51,139 --> 01:27:56,139
The Russian border.
1505
01:28:17,999 --> 01:28:20,375
He's already fighting for three months.
1506
01:28:20,376 --> 01:28:25,376
Now he joined the Bolsheviks
and he's not going to fight any more.
1507
01:28:28,050 --> 01:28:32,012
I don't think he's afraid.
There are many Bolsheviks in the army.
1508
01:28:32,013 --> 01:28:37,013
And the Bolsheviks will stop the war.
1509
01:28:37,477 --> 01:28:42,477
He's 14 years old.
1510
01:29:11,260 --> 01:29:15,055
The Communists obviously wanted
peace. Rightly so.
1511
01:29:15,056 --> 01:29:18,350
Because the count/y was completely
unable to sustain a war.
1512
01:29:18,351 --> 01:29:21,061
There was treason
and there was corruption.
1513
01:29:21,062 --> 01:29:23,063
There was everything under the sun.
1514
01:29:23,064 --> 01:29:26,399
But certainly...
There was certainly no possibility
1515
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,693
of conducting a war.
1516
01:29:28,694 --> 01:29:31,238
Kerensky was anxious to conduct it,
1517
01:29:31,239 --> 01:29:36,239
produce some battalions of women
who were going to go and fight.
1518
01:29:40,039 --> 01:29:43,333
Jack Reed!
1519
01:29:43,334 --> 01:29:45,710
Alex, what the hell are you doing here?
1520
01:29:45,711 --> 01:29:47,587
- You have someone to meet you?
- No.
1521
01:29:47,588 --> 01:29:50,257
Then what luck I am here!
1522
01:29:50,258 --> 01:29:51,424
- Lois?
- Yes.
1523
01:29:51,425 --> 01:29:52,592
Alex Gomberg.
1524
01:29:52,593 --> 01:29:55,387
- Looking for accommodation?
- No. Just a hotel.
1525
01:29:55,388 --> 01:29:58,056
More good luck.
I know of an empty apartment.
1526
01:29:58,057 --> 01:30:02,102
You have transportation?
No problem. Follow me.
1527
01:30:02,103 --> 01:30:05,564
A lot of people had an idea
that Utopia was growing up.
1528
01:30:05,565 --> 01:30:08,733
I could not blame them
for being pro-Bolshevik,
1529
01:30:08,734 --> 01:30:10,277
but I wasn't.
1530
01:30:10,278 --> 01:30:12,946
The one person
who was awfully ignorant about Russia
1531
01:30:12,947 --> 01:30:15,031
- was Beatrice Webb.
- Yes, she was.
1532
01:30:15,032 --> 01:30:16,575
She didn't know a thing.
1533
01:30:16,576 --> 01:30:19,578
Do not be misled by the quiet
in the streets.
1534
01:30:19,579 --> 01:30:22,038
Underneath is great tension.
1535
01:30:22,039 --> 01:30:24,624
Alex, how much time
has the Kerensky government got left?
1536
01:30:24,625 --> 01:30:29,625
Any day now, the Bolsheviks will strike.
1537
01:30:32,133 --> 01:30:33,300
Fantastic, isn't it?
1538
01:30:33,301 --> 01:30:38,301
A quiet street,
and yet we are in the heart of Petrograd.
1539
01:30:38,306 --> 01:30:43,306
Give him four roubles.
1540
01:30:43,561 --> 01:30:46,980
Jack, Lois. Lucky for you, I am here.
1541
01:30:46,981 --> 01:30:51,981
Yeah. Thanks. Thanks again.
1542
01:30:53,946 --> 01:30:56,990
Only one bed? That's a double.
1543
01:30:56,991 --> 01:31:00,493
Single. That's a single!
This is where I'll...
1544
01:31:00,494 --> 01:31:04,164
This is good for me. I can just...
1545
01:31:04,165 --> 01:31:04,665
Good.
1546
01:31:10,963 --> 01:31:15,963
I don't mind this at all.
1547
01:31:24,936 --> 01:31:26,853
He's Calling for an insurrection,
isn't he?
1548
01:31:26,854 --> 01:31:29,022
Day and night. Day and night.
1549
01:31:29,023 --> 01:31:31,107
"Another insurrection will ruin Russia."
1550
01:31:31,108 --> 01:31:32,776
"Another insurrection will save Russia."
1551
01:31:32,777 --> 01:31:34,611
"The war is ruining Russia."
1552
01:31:34,612 --> 01:31:38,031
"Without England or France,
Russia will be isolated."
1553
01:31:38,032 --> 01:31:39,991
"The Bolsheviks are ruining Russia."
1554
01:31:39,992 --> 01:31:42,369
Lois, lucky for you, I am here.
1555
01:31:42,370 --> 01:31:44,663
Louise.
1556
01:31:44,664 --> 01:31:46,623
- This is the line for bread.
- Yes.
1557
01:31:46,624 --> 01:31:48,833
There's another line for boots.
1558
01:31:48,834 --> 01:31:51,336
And there is still another line for cards
1559
01:31:51,337 --> 01:31:54,381
on which they'll get the boots
in two, three months.
1560
01:31:54,382 --> 01:31:59,382
Did we have to get rid of the czar
to stand in line for bread?
1561
01:31:59,512 --> 01:32:03,723
- What does that mean?
- I don't know.
1562
01:32:03,724 --> 01:32:07,018
Vosstanie means "Insurrection,"
and "Kerensky" means "Kerensky,"
1563
01:32:07,019 --> 01:32:08,895
and Bolsheviki means Bolshevik.
1564
01:32:08,896 --> 01:32:11,898
So I think it calls for an insurrection
by the Bolsheviks
1565
01:32:11,899 --> 01:32:14,484
against the Kerensky government
and the korni/ovtsy.
1566
01:32:14,485 --> 01:32:17,737
- What's a korn//ovtsy?
- Louise, I'm not that fluent in Russian.
1567
01:32:17,738 --> 01:32:21,741
Look, if they buy this,
1568
01:32:21,742 --> 01:32:24,369
they're gonna cut you down
to 400 or 500 words, aren't they?
1569
01:32:24,370 --> 01:32:29,370
- That starts out like you got 5,000.
- Where would you cut?
1570
01:32:29,667 --> 01:32:33,211
I'd lose this. I'd lose this.
1571
01:32:33,212 --> 01:32:37,007
But what's your lead?
1572
01:32:37,008 --> 01:32:39,509
Oh, I know what you think.
You think the strongman line.
1573
01:32:39,510 --> 01:32:42,012
Well, I just don't know if you're gonna
take anybody's breath away
1574
01:32:42,013 --> 01:32:47,013
with that for a lead. You know?
1575
01:32:47,101 --> 01:32:49,853
You're right.
It's too long, it's too general.
1576
01:32:49,854 --> 01:32:54,854
And the strongman line
is the best lead.
1577
01:32:56,110 --> 01:33:01,110
You've been right
about something else, too.
1578
01:33:01,282 --> 01:33:06,282
The Bolsheviks will take Russia
out of the war.
1579
01:33:06,871 --> 01:33:10,040
- Good night.
- Night.
1580
01:33:10,041 --> 01:33:12,459
"In the streets the talk
is of peace and bread."
1581
01:33:12,460 --> 01:33:14,044
"Neither of which
Kerensky has provided."
1582
01:33:14,045 --> 01:33:16,046
"E ven/body knows that
something is going to happen,"
1583
01:33:16,047 --> 01:33:19,591
"but nobody knows just what."
1584
01:33:19,592 --> 01:33:20,759
Yes?
1585
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:22,761
I'm sorry, I don't speak Russian.
I'm English.
1586
01:33:22,762 --> 01:33:24,137
"Petrograd does not sleep.
1587
01:33:24,138 --> 01:33:26,598
"At night, the arguments grow louder
and the crowds thicken. ".
1588
01:33:26,599 --> 01:33:28,141
"Nobody is satisfied with Kerensky."
1589
01:33:28,142 --> 01:33:30,810
"The far right wants a strongman,
the far left wants peace."
1590
01:33:30,811 --> 01:33:32,979
"E ven/one Waits to see
what the Bolsheviks will do."
1591
01:33:32,980 --> 01:33:35,815
"it is not easy to write fairly about
the Bolshevik leader Lenin.
1592
01:33:35,816 --> 01:33:38,485
"He is absorbed, cold,
impatient of interruptions. ".
1593
01:33:38,486 --> 01:33:41,154
- You're editorialising here.
- I never editorialise.
1594
01:33:41,155 --> 01:33:46,155
- At the end.
- You're right. Cut it.
1595
01:33:46,452 --> 01:33:48,828
What I don't understand is...
1596
01:33:48,829 --> 01:33:51,790
Why did you take out the piece
about the gunshot? It was very good.
1597
01:33:51,791 --> 01:33:52,999
- It is good, isn't it?
- Yeah.
1598
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:58,000
Put it back in for me.
1599
01:34:01,342 --> 01:34:04,010
Mr Zinoviev, do you still feel
that the timing is wrong
1600
01:34:04,011 --> 01:34:05,845
for a Bolshevik insurrection?
1601
01:34:05,846 --> 01:34:07,972
"I interviewed Zinoviev at Smolny."
1602
01:34:07,973 --> 01:34:09,349
"He 'd been in hiding with Lenin."
1603
01:34:09,350 --> 01:34:12,018
had another whole decade,
less than a day.
1604
01:34:12,019 --> 01:34:14,604
"His style is still that
of a man in hiding.
1605
01:34:14,605 --> 01:34:16,356
"We hear Trotsky speak at Smolny.
1606
01:34:16,357 --> 01:34:18,858
"If Lenin represents thought,
Trotsky represents action.
1607
01:34:18,859 --> 01:34:20,026
"He is essentially an agitator. ".
1608
01:34:20,027 --> 01:34:21,653
"The meeting hall at Smolny
was packed. At one point,"
1609
01:34:21,654 --> 01:34:24,030
"someone in the platform
asked the comrades not to smoke,"
1610
01:34:24,031 --> 01:34:26,157
"and everybody, including the smokers
took up the cry,"
1611
01:34:26,158 --> 01:34:28,368
"'Don't smoke, comradesl'
And then they went on smoking."
1612
01:34:28,369 --> 01:34:30,537
"At the point Trotsky said,
'We are trying to avoid insurrection,
1613
01:34:30,538 --> 01:34:32,372
"'but if the Kerensky government
attacks us,
1614
01:34:32,373 --> 01:34:33,623
"'we shall answer blow by b/ow, '
1615
01:34:33,624 --> 01:34:35,625
"the audience broke into wild cheers. ".
1616
01:34:35,626 --> 01:34:39,462
"Lenin is a strange popular leader,
a leader purely by virtue of intellect.
1617
01:34:39,463 --> 01:34:41,965
"Colour/ess, humour/ess,
uncompromising,
1618
01:34:41,966 --> 01:34:44,843
"he seems to have
none of Trotsky's force of personality
1619
01:34:44,844 --> 01:34:49,472
"or his gift for phrasemaking, and yet
it is Lenin who is the architect. ".
1620
01:34:49,473 --> 01:34:53,476
Kerensky is some socialist, huh?
1621
01:34:53,477 --> 01:34:56,229
"The Winter Palace of the czar, where
Kerensky's government ho/ds office,
1622
01:34:56,230 --> 01:34:58,398
- "is vast and magnificent..."
- "/t is quiet in the Winter Palace.
1623
01:34:58,399 --> 01:35:00,400
"There's no sign here
of the strikes and lockouts
1624
01:35:00,401 --> 01:35:02,527
"that convulse Moscow and Odessa.
1625
01:35:02,528 --> 01:35:04,571
"No evidence that
transportation is paralysed,
1626
01:35:04,572 --> 01:35:07,240
"that the army is starving and in the
big Cities, there is no bread. ".
1627
01:35:07,241 --> 01:35:10,243
"Kerensky is full of old-world manners
and charm, totally unlike Lenin."
1628
01:35:10,244 --> 01:35:12,912
"'Provisional government will last, '
Kerensky said during the interview,"
1629
01:35:12,913 --> 01:35:14,539
"'in spite of the Bolsheviks."
1630
01:35:14,540 --> 01:35:17,083
"He seemed bitter, defensive. "
1631
01:35:17,084 --> 01:35:20,503
900,000 men deserted
since January the 1st.
1632
01:35:20,504 --> 01:35:24,841
That's 14% of the Russian army. I...
1633
01:35:24,842 --> 01:35:28,887
I'm sort of braising the cabbage.
'Cause I thought it'd be a nice change.
1634
01:35:28,888 --> 01:35:32,724
You know that house
where Rhys Williams is staying?
1635
01:35:32,725 --> 01:35:36,102
Evidently, the banker's daughter
came home in hysterics the other night,
1636
01:35:36,103 --> 01:35:39,564
'cause some woman streetcar
conductor called her "comrade."
1637
01:35:39,565 --> 01:35:41,107
So after dinner, they all voted
1638
01:35:41,108 --> 01:35:44,027
they preferred the Germans
to the Bolsheviks by 10-to-one.
1639
01:35:44,028 --> 01:35:47,614
Anyway, the Social Revolutionaries
asked the British ambassador
1640
01:35:47,615 --> 01:35:48,907
to please not mention their visit,
1641
01:35:48,908 --> 01:35:51,242
because they were already considered
too far to the right.
1642
01:35:51,243 --> 01:35:52,785
And you know,
it's the same group of people
1643
01:35:52,786 --> 01:35:55,580
you couldn't even see a year ago,
'cause they were too far to the left.
1644
01:35:55,581 --> 01:35:57,874
Karsavina is dancing tonight.
1645
01:35:57,875 --> 01:36:00,293
And, oh, Manny Komroff says
that Charlie Chaplin will be...
1646
01:36:00,294 --> 01:36:02,295
Jack”.
1647
01:36:02,296 --> 01:36:07,296
Thanks for bringing me here.
1648
01:36:16,101 --> 01:36:19,312
Will they strike?
1649
01:36:19,313 --> 01:36:23,316
Do you speak English?
1650
01:36:23,317 --> 01:36:24,651
Do you speak English?
1651
01:36:24,652 --> 01:36:28,446
Do you speak English?
1652
01:36:28,447 --> 01:36:30,240
Do you speak English?
1653
01:36:30,241 --> 01:36:32,158
Do you speak English?
1654
01:36:32,159 --> 01:36:34,118
Do you speak English?
1655
01:36:34,119 --> 01:36:35,787
- Do you speak English?
- Yes.
1656
01:36:35,788 --> 01:36:40,788
Will they strike?
1657
01:36:41,794 --> 01:36:43,127
- New York?
- Yes.
1658
01:36:43,128 --> 01:36:44,796
- You know Broome Street?
- Yes!
1659
01:36:44,797 --> 01:36:46,506
I know,
but can you tell me what he's saying?
1660
01:36:46,507 --> 01:36:50,009
- I lived there four years.
- Really? What's he...
1661
01:36:50,010 --> 01:36:52,303
What is he saying?
1662
01:36:52,304 --> 01:36:54,305
Can you tell me what he's saying?
1663
01:36:54,306 --> 01:36:56,808
He says don't strike.
He says it's not right
1664
01:36:56,809 --> 01:37:01,809
to leave our Russian soldiers
at Front without guns.
1665
01:37:01,855 --> 01:37:06,855
You are a long way from New York.
1666
01:37:23,294 --> 01:37:26,170
He says that our Russian
soldiers at the Front
1667
01:37:26,171 --> 01:37:27,714
are also strike.
1668
01:37:27,715 --> 01:37:32,715
That is why they're leaving the Front.
1669
01:37:42,146 --> 01:37:43,229
What's that?
1670
01:37:43,230 --> 01:37:45,315
He said that the workers of England,
France and America
1671
01:37:45,316 --> 01:37:47,233
will be left alone to fight Germany.
1672
01:37:47,234 --> 01:37:48,568
Tell him he doesn't know
how many workers
1673
01:37:48,569 --> 01:37:50,653
in England, France and America
are against the war.
1674
01:37:50,654 --> 01:37:52,238
You lived in New York. Tell him that.
1675
01:37:52,239 --> 01:37:57,239
You are right, American.
1676
01:38:01,248 --> 01:38:05,918
Go ahead, you speak.
1677
01:38:05,919 --> 01:38:07,170
Go ahead.
1678
01:38:07,171 --> 01:38:09,088
Tell them about your American workers.
1679
01:38:09,089 --> 01:38:11,758
No, Ican't speak here, I don't have
any credentials to speak here.
1680
01:38:11,759 --> 01:38:14,260
- I'm an American...
- Credentials? What credentials?
1681
01:38:14,261 --> 01:38:16,220
Everyone has credentials here.
1682
01:38:16,221 --> 01:38:19,599
He ask you to speak.
1683
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:24,600
Speak. I translate.
1684
01:38:45,125 --> 01:38:47,210
I only want to say that if you strike,
1685
01:38:47,211 --> 01:38:52,211
the American workers
will not feel betrayed.
1686
01:38:56,303 --> 01:38:59,639
They're waiting for your example.
1687
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:01,766
They're waiting for your leadership.
1688
01:39:01,767 --> 01:39:04,644
If you refuse to support
the capitalist war machine,
1689
01:39:04,645 --> 01:39:06,312
they will follow your example.
1690
01:39:06,313 --> 01:39:08,314
And if workers of the world
stand together,
1691
01:39:08,315 --> 01:39:13,315
the war can be stopped.
1692
01:39:17,157 --> 01:39:22,157
They support you
and will join you in revolution!
1693
01:43:55,769 --> 01:43:59,188
Then, comrades, come rally.
1694
01:43:59,189 --> 01:44:02,608
And the last fight Let us face.
1695
01:44:02,609 --> 01:44:06,070
The Internationale.
1696
01:44:06,071 --> 01:44:09,073
Unites the human race.
1697
01:44:09,074 --> 01:44:12,118
Then, comrades, come rally.
1698
01:44:12,119 --> 01:44:15,121
And the last fight Let us face.
1699
01:44:15,122 --> 01:44:17,998
The Internationale.
1700
01:44:17,999 --> 01:44:21,502
Unites the human race.
1701
01:44:21,503 --> 01:44:23,254
That's how it goes.
1702
01:44:23,255 --> 01:44:23,755
Ponen.
1703
01:44:29,803 --> 01:44:31,637
Confiscate it.
1704
01:44:31,638 --> 01:44:34,098
I'll take it with me to Washington
on Wednesday.
1705
01:44:34,099 --> 01:44:36,600
On whose authority?
1706
01:44:36,601 --> 01:44:39,812
The authority of the Attorney General.
1707
01:44:39,813 --> 01:44:41,689
All right, pack it up.
1708
01:44:41,690 --> 01:44:45,484
- Attorney General?
- Attorney General of the United States.
1709
01:44:45,485 --> 01:44:48,654
That's upside down.
1710
01:44:48,655 --> 01:44:51,198
- Louise!
- Max!
1711
01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:53,868
How are you?
1712
01:44:53,869 --> 01:44:57,663
Max. Hi!
1713
01:44:57,664 --> 01:44:58,998
Hi!
1714
01:44:58,999 --> 01:45:01,876
Oh, God, Louise. You look good!
1715
01:45:01,877 --> 01:45:04,128
God, whatever you've been doing,
you ought to bottle it.
1716
01:45:04,129 --> 01:45:06,005
Oh, thank you.
1717
01:45:06,006 --> 01:45:08,966
He's gonna write a great book, Max,
and I'm gonna lecture while he's doing it
1718
01:45:08,967 --> 01:45:10,384
so we can have something to live on.
1719
01:45:10,385 --> 01:45:12,470
And he's gonna write
wherever I'm lecturing.
1720
01:45:12,471 --> 01:45:14,013
And then we're gonna go back to Croton
1721
01:45:14,014 --> 01:45:15,681
and he's gonna help me edit
my collection of articles
1722
01:45:15,682 --> 01:45:17,224
on women in the Revolution,
1723
01:45:17,225 --> 01:45:19,018
and then we're gonna help
edit each other's books.
1724
01:45:19,019 --> 01:45:21,520
No more separations.
We've really promised each other, Max.
1725
01:45:21,521 --> 01:45:24,356
We're really going to get down
to living our own lives.
1726
01:45:24,357 --> 01:45:27,693
It's so moving.
God, Max, you should've been there!
1727
01:45:27,694 --> 01:45:31,489
Well, they took my notes.
Every goddamn note I have for my book.
1728
01:45:31,490 --> 01:45:33,032
Can they do that?
1729
01:45:33,033 --> 01:45:36,243
Welcome home. Let's go.
1730
01:45:36,244 --> 01:45:38,078
Come on, come on.
We'll get your notes back.
1731
01:45:38,079 --> 01:45:39,580
You'll write your book.
1732
01:45:39,581 --> 01:45:42,208
A lot's been happening. Now what
the hell is going on here, Jack?
1733
01:45:42,209 --> 01:45:44,877
I understand you and Louise
have decided to be happy?
1734
01:45:44,878 --> 01:45:47,171
It's a very difficult situation
1735
01:45:47,172 --> 01:45:50,716
for a country who is conducting a war,
1736
01:45:50,717 --> 01:45:53,677
when one of its allies has a revolution
1737
01:45:53,678 --> 01:45:56,055
and the government is changed.
1738
01:45:56,056 --> 01:45:59,892
The thing that made the furore
was that the Russians withdrew,
1739
01:45:59,893 --> 01:46:02,228
and we lost an ally.
1740
01:46:02,229 --> 01:46:05,356
We thought the Russ/ans
had gone back on us.
1741
01:46:05,357 --> 01:46:07,858
The Bolshevik Revolution, at the time,
1742
01:46:07,859 --> 01:46:11,403
was the most single striking
event in the history of the times,
1743
01:46:11,404 --> 01:46:12,571
of the whole era.
1744
01:46:12,572 --> 01:46:15,574
The complete transformation
of Russian society,
1745
01:46:15,575 --> 01:46:18,786
and the taking over
by the peasants and the workers
1746
01:46:18,787 --> 01:46:20,412
of the machinery of the state.
1747
01:46:20,413 --> 01:46:22,581
It never had happened before in history.
1748
01:46:22,582 --> 01:46:24,291
You're a grand old flag.
1749
01:46:24,292 --> 01:46:26,210
You're a high flying flag.
1750
01:46:26,211 --> 01:46:28,879
And forever and e'er may you wave.
1751
01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:32,132
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
1752
01:46:32,133 --> 01:46:34,593
The home of the free and the brave.
1753
01:46:34,594 --> 01:46:37,763
Every heart beats true
For the red, white and blue.
1754
01:46:37,764 --> 01:46:40,766
Where there's never a boast or brag.
1755
01:46:40,767 --> 01:46:43,727
Should auld acquaintance be forgot.
1756
01:46:43,728 --> 01:46:47,064
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
1757
01:46:47,065 --> 01:46:49,817
Over There is not till 1918.
1758
01:46:49,818 --> 01:46:51,777
Over there, over there.
1759
01:46:51,778 --> 01:46:53,445
Send the word, send the word.
1760
01:46:53,446 --> 01:46:55,948
Over there
That the Yanks are coming...
1761
01:46:55,949 --> 01:46:57,116
You know that one.
1762
01:46:57,117 --> 01:47:00,911
But the other one
after Grand Old Flag,
1763
01:47:00,912 --> 01:47:05,624
or before, was
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy.
1764
01:47:05,625 --> 01:47:08,168
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy.
1765
01:47:08,169 --> 01:47:09,920
Yankee Doodle...
1766
01:47:09,921 --> 01:47:12,298
Real live nephew of my Uncle Sam.
1767
01:47:12,299 --> 01:47:15,175
Born on the 4th of July.
1768
01:47:15,176 --> 01:47:17,803
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart.
1769
01:47:17,804 --> 01:47:20,139
She's my Yankee Doodle joy.
1770
01:47:20,140 --> 01:47:23,309
Yankee Doodle went to London
Just to ride the ponies.
1771
01:47:23,310 --> 01:47:26,020
I am the Yankee Doodle boy.
1772
01:47:26,021 --> 01:47:28,939
That was a big hit.
1773
01:47:28,940 --> 01:47:33,360
- Do you believe in God?
- I beg your pardon?
1774
01:47:33,361 --> 01:47:36,530
It's a simple question, Miss Bryant.
Now do you want me to repeat it?
1775
01:47:36,531 --> 01:47:37,865
I'm sorry, for a moment I thought
1776
01:47:37,866 --> 01:47:39,491
you asked me
if I believed there's a God.
1777
01:47:39,492 --> 01:47:41,994
That is precisely what I asked you.
1778
01:47:41,995 --> 01:47:45,372
I see. Well, I have no way of knowing.
1779
01:47:45,373 --> 01:47:47,374
Are you a Christian?
1780
01:47:47,375 --> 01:47:50,002
I was christened in the Catholic Church.
1781
01:47:50,003 --> 01:47:54,006
- Well, are you a Christian now?
- I suppose I am.
1782
01:47:54,007 --> 01:47:56,842
Do you believe
in Our Lord Jesus Christ?
1783
01:47:56,843 --> 01:48:00,888
I believe in the teachings of Christ.
Am I being tried for witchcraft?
1784
01:48:00,889 --> 01:48:02,181
Miss Bryant, tell me,
1785
01:48:02,182 --> 01:48:06,727
are there no decent, God-fearing
Christians among the Bolsheviks?
1786
01:48:06,728 --> 01:48:09,647
Does one have to be God-fearing
and Christian to be decent?
1787
01:48:09,648 --> 01:48:13,192
Senator, the Bolsheviks believe that it's
religion, particularly Christianity,
1788
01:48:13,193 --> 01:48:16,028
that's kept the Russian people back
for so many centuries.
1789
01:48:16,029 --> 01:48:17,655
- Miss Bryant...
- If any of you'd ever been to Russia
1790
01:48:17,656 --> 01:48:19,990
and seen the peasants,
you might think they had a point.
1791
01:48:19,991 --> 01:48:22,034
On the subject of decency, Senator,
1792
01:48:22,035 --> 01:48:24,536
the Bolsheviks took power
with the slogan, "An end to the war."
1793
01:48:24,537 --> 01:48:27,915
Within six months, they made good
their promise to the Russian people.
1794
01:48:27,916 --> 01:48:30,250
Now, the present President
of the United States of America
1795
01:48:30,251 --> 01:48:33,712
went to this country in 1916,
on a "no war" ticket.
1796
01:48:33,713 --> 01:48:35,714
Within six months,
he'd taken us into the war,
1797
01:48:35,715 --> 01:48:39,093
and 115,000 young Americans
didn't come back.
1798
01:48:39,094 --> 01:48:41,220
If that's how decent,
God-fearing Christians behave,
1799
01:48:41,221 --> 01:48:45,265
give me atheists anytime.
1800
01:48:45,266 --> 01:48:48,268
By the way, Senator Overman,
in Russia, women have the Vote,
1801
01:48:48,269 --> 01:48:50,104
which is more than you can say
for this country.
1802
01:48:50,105 --> 01:48:51,438
Miss Bryant,
1803
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:55,192
do you advocate a Soviet government
for this country?
1804
01:48:55,193 --> 01:48:57,444
No. In this country
I don't think it would work.
1805
01:48:57,445 --> 01:48:58,904
In other words,
you mean the Red scare?
1806
01:48:58,905 --> 01:49:02,074
They got scared, or we got scared?
1807
01:49:02,075 --> 01:49:03,784
No, we didn't get scared.
1808
01:49:03,785 --> 01:49:08,122
They were afraid that the unions
would grow in strength.
1809
01:49:08,123 --> 01:49:12,084
A radical movement in America.
They were scared.
1810
01:49:12,085 --> 01:49:13,293
Oh, sure.
1811
01:49:13,294 --> 01:49:17,131
The Americans, they were frightened
to death by it, you know.
1812
01:49:17,132 --> 01:49:18,966
That it could occur here.
1813
01:49:18,967 --> 01:49:22,302
Sure. Even/body was in mortal dread
1814
01:49:22,303 --> 01:49:24,638
of the government descending on them.
1815
01:49:24,639 --> 01:49:27,599
The FBI or whatever it was,
don't you know.
1816
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:29,435
We had to expose them.
1817
01:49:29,436 --> 01:49:32,771
And once they told American people
what Communism was...
1818
01:49:32,772 --> 01:49:35,399
People won't have nothing to do
with Communism now.
1819
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:36,650
They know what it is.
1820
01:49:36,651 --> 01:49:39,445
But then, they didn't know.
It was a new thing.
1821
01:49:39,446 --> 01:49:43,407
Public opinion was
solidly against anyone
1822
01:49:43,408 --> 01:49:46,910
who had a good word
for the Russian Revolution.
1823
01:49:46,911 --> 01:49:51,911
But Louise was always communicating
what she had experienced.
1824
01:49:53,293 --> 01:49:55,794
I brought blankets, here,
1825
01:49:55,795 --> 01:49:59,757
and a heavy coat, here.
1826
01:49:59,758 --> 01:50:01,842
Chase and Sanborn.
1827
01:50:01,843 --> 01:50:02,968
Gloves.
1828
01:50:02,969 --> 01:50:06,138
Thank you, Jack.
Everyone else brought me hats.
1829
01:50:06,139 --> 01:50:11,139
And Louise sends you her best and this.
1830
01:50:11,978 --> 01:50:15,481
A scarf. Very kind.
1831
01:50:15,482 --> 01:50:17,858
I'm afraid your time is up.
1832
01:50:17,859 --> 01:50:20,319
Well,
1833
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:23,030
we're going to keep fighting this.
1834
01:50:23,031 --> 01:50:26,325
Will you tell Max I'd like a picture
of myself in the magazine?
1835
01:50:26,326 --> 01:50:30,496
And under it, I would like the words,
"Deported in 1919."
1836
01:50:30,497 --> 01:50:32,372
"The government of the most
powerful country in the world"
1837
01:50:32,373 --> 01:50:34,333
"is afraid of this woman."
1838
01:50:34,334 --> 01:50:37,336
We're going to get you back, E.G.
1839
01:50:37,337 --> 01:50:40,214
The revolution needs you.
We're gonna get you back.
1840
01:50:40,215 --> 01:50:43,175
Comrade, I'm not leaving
the revolution.
1841
01:50:43,176 --> 01:50:45,511
In Russia, I'll be joining it.
1842
01:50:45,512 --> 01:50:50,512
I urged the deportation of all
1843
01:50:51,351 --> 01:50:54,812
alien Communists.
All alien Communists.
1844
01:50:54,813 --> 01:50:57,689
It's bad enough having
a Communist with us,
1845
01:50:57,690 --> 01:51:00,692
but to have alien Communists
who are not citizens,
1846
01:51:00,693 --> 01:51:03,487
denouncing our form
of government and our republic
1847
01:51:03,488 --> 01:51:06,031
and everything else,
they should be deported.
1848
01:51:06,032 --> 01:51:09,368
And I led a big fight on that
for a long while.
1849
01:51:09,369 --> 01:51:12,579
It wasn't a very healthy atmosphere.
1850
01:51:12,580 --> 01:51:14,998
So when John Reed came along,
1851
01:51:14,999 --> 01:51:17,584
well, he was a voice of what I love.
1852
01:51:17,585 --> 01:51:22,256
He was able to go into the most
controversial subject of all,
1853
01:51:22,257 --> 01:51:23,882
Communism, Bolshevism.
1854
01:51:23,883 --> 01:51:28,053
He was considered one of the rare
persons who could do a thing like that.
1855
01:51:28,054 --> 01:51:31,098
He knew he was
on the threshold of history,
1856
01:51:31,099 --> 01:51:36,099
and he wrote it that way.
1857
01:51:39,607 --> 01:51:42,693
- A touch of this...
- Jack, I'm back!
1858
01:51:42,694 --> 01:51:44,403
I'm in here, honey.
1859
01:51:44,404 --> 01:51:46,905
I talked to Edmund and Alfred today
at Liveright's.
1860
01:51:46,906 --> 01:51:50,242
- What a day it's turned out to be.
- Stay out, honey! Stay out, stay out.
1861
01:51:50,243 --> 01:51:53,954
What are you doing in there?
Is everything okay?
1862
01:51:53,955 --> 01:51:55,747
- Can't I help?
- No, no, no, no!
1863
01:51:55,748 --> 01:51:57,666
Sure smells good. What is it?
1864
01:51:57,667 --> 01:51:59,751
Stay out, honey.
What did Edmund have to say?
1865
01:51:59,752 --> 01:52:03,630
He said in a few weeks
the steelworkers will strike.
1866
01:52:03,631 --> 01:52:08,631
He thinks at least 200,000 of them,
and maybe as many as 300,000.
1867
01:52:08,970 --> 01:52:11,597
But he doesn't think there's
any stopping them this time.
1868
01:52:11,598 --> 01:52:12,681
Yeah? That's good.
1869
01:52:12,682 --> 01:52:14,683
You still thinking
about doing a piece on it? I am.
1870
01:52:14,684 --> 01:52:17,978
Well, I can't really talk now,
but what does he say the next step is?
1871
01:52:17,979 --> 01:52:21,190
Evidently the federal government's
saying the steel organisers are Reds.
1872
01:52:21,191 --> 01:52:23,817
So what they're doing is
forming a bureau of investigation
1873
01:52:23,818 --> 01:52:25,861
just to look into subversive activity.
1874
01:52:25,862 --> 01:52:28,780
And you know, with all this talk
about the leadership of the AF of L
1875
01:52:28,781 --> 01:52:30,490
being in cahoots with the Steel Trust,
1876
01:52:30,491 --> 01:52:34,119
Alfred asked me if I was still gonna do
the piece on the IWW.
1877
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:36,788
So I said, "Alfred, for the moment
I don't want to go any further away"
1878
01:52:36,789 --> 01:52:38,790
- "than New Jersey."
- Really?
1879
01:52:38,791 --> 01:52:41,210
Oh, that's good. That's good.
1880
01:52:41,211 --> 01:52:42,961
- Just...
- Yeah, it is good.
1881
01:52:42,962 --> 01:52:47,633
Sit down. I'll just be a minute.
1882
01:52:47,634 --> 01:52:49,218
Jack, what are you doing?
1883
01:52:49,219 --> 01:52:53,347
- How did you leave it with Edmund?
- He's gonna read the piece on Debs.
1884
01:52:53,348 --> 01:52:55,474
Okay, the first course.
1885
01:52:55,475 --> 01:52:57,851
- Yeah?
- Sit down.
1886
01:52:57,852 --> 01:53:02,852
Sit down and close your eyes. Sit down.
1887
01:53:08,238 --> 01:53:08,738
Okay-
1888
01:53:12,367 --> 01:53:12,867
Oh, mY-
1889
01:53:16,412 --> 01:53:18,747
My...
1890
01:53:18,748 --> 01:53:23,748
- Go ahead.
- Oh.
1891
01:53:28,091 --> 01:53:31,009
What do you think?
1892
01:53:31,010 --> 01:53:35,180
Really? You serious?
1893
01:53:35,181 --> 01:53:39,268
Really? Thank God.
I was gonna flambé them out here,
1894
01:53:39,269 --> 01:53:42,771
but the goddamn things flambéed
themselves in the pan.
1895
01:53:42,772 --> 01:53:46,108
He was certainly the main inspiration
1896
01:53:46,109 --> 01:53:49,236
in the development
of a revo/utiona/y movement
1897
01:53:49,237 --> 01:53:50,779
through his history
1898
01:53:50,780 --> 01:53:53,532
ofTen Days That Shook The World.
1899
01:53:53,533 --> 01:53:56,910
Ten Days That Shook the World
was, of course, his masterpiece.
1900
01:53:56,911 --> 01:54:00,372
He was there when
the Bolshevik Revolution took place.
1901
01:54:00,373 --> 01:54:02,708
And his was the best report of it.
1902
01:54:02,709 --> 01:54:05,794
Max Eastman had this story
that John Reed came down,
1903
01:54:05,795 --> 01:54:09,756
tousled hair all, you know...
And said he was writing a book
1904
01:54:09,757 --> 01:54:12,301
and not to disturb him for ten days.
1905
01:54:12,302 --> 01:54:16,263
And that became
Ten Days That Shook the World.
1906
01:54:16,264 --> 01:54:17,973
Supposedly.
1907
01:54:17,974 --> 01:54:21,560
He was an enormous,
enormous success,
1908
01:54:21,561 --> 01:54:26,148
and this success
largely changed his whole life, I think,
1909
01:54:26,149 --> 01:54:29,067
'cause he found out there was
something that he could do well,
1910
01:54:29,068 --> 01:54:31,403
do practically better than anyone else.
1911
01:54:31,404 --> 01:54:34,573
"Comrades, we have made
a great stride forward in our programme
1912
01:54:34,574 --> 01:54:37,284
"to Capture
the Socialist Party for Revolution.
1913
01:54:37,285 --> 01:54:40,412
"The time of right-wing domination
of the party has ended.
1914
01:54:40,413 --> 01:54:44,082
"They have fallen before the shining
example of revolutionary Russia
1915
01:54:44,083 --> 01:54:48,587
"like so many bowling pins!
1916
01:54:48,588 --> 01:54:51,757
"Comrades, we have done better
than we could have dreamed."
1917
01:54:51,758 --> 01:54:54,343
"The leftwing has won 12
of the 15 seats"
1918
01:54:54,344 --> 01:54:56,428
"on the Socialist Party Executive,"
1919
01:54:56,429 --> 01:55:01,429
"including myself,
Edmund MacAlpine and Jack Reed."
1920
01:55:08,608 --> 01:55:12,194
He took a tremendous jump fon/vard
from there on.
1921
01:55:12,195 --> 01:55:15,655
He became a revolutionist
on the workers' side,
1922
01:55:15,656 --> 01:55:18,617
and he had no more illusions
about people like Wilson.
1923
01:55:18,618 --> 01:55:19,951
We all have problems.
1924
01:55:19,952 --> 01:55:22,954
You can't escape having problems,
don't you know?
1925
01:55:22,955 --> 01:55:26,291
But to take on the problem
of all humanity,
1926
01:55:26,292 --> 01:55:28,335
to save all humanity,
1927
01:55:28,336 --> 01:55:31,630
my God, that was too big
even for Jesus Christ.
1928
01:55:31,631 --> 01:55:34,132
Don't you know
he got himself crucified?
1929
01:55:34,133 --> 01:55:39,133
How the hell do we expect
to do those things?
1930
01:55:43,643 --> 01:55:44,143
Oh.
1931
01:55:48,481 --> 01:55:51,316
Louise. Is that you?
1932
01:55:51,317 --> 01:55:53,652
Hello, Harry.
1933
01:55:53,653 --> 01:55:56,988
Well, where have you been lately?
I haven't seen you in a long time.
1934
01:55:56,989 --> 01:55:59,157
That's right.
Is this thing gonna last all day?
1935
01:55:59,158 --> 01:56:00,992
It might. We've been kicked out.
1936
01:56:00,993 --> 01:56:03,578
- Kicked out of what?
- The Socialist Party.
1937
01:56:03,579 --> 01:56:06,164
- Wait, wait. Who got kicked out?
- Everybody in that room.
1938
01:56:06,165 --> 01:56:07,999
The Executive Committee
kicked us all out.
1939
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:11,837
- The whole left wing?
- That's right. They nullified the election.
1940
01:56:11,838 --> 01:56:13,755
- Can they do that?
- They've done it.
1941
01:56:13,756 --> 01:56:15,173
We're the majority. We have the votes.
1942
01:56:15,174 --> 01:56:16,675
We weren't expelled
by the membership.
1943
01:56:16,676 --> 01:56:18,343
We were expelled by the executives.
1944
01:56:18,344 --> 01:56:20,053
And you're talking about doing exactly
1945
01:56:20,054 --> 01:56:22,013
what the Executive Committee
wants us to do.
1946
01:56:22,014 --> 01:56:23,890
Give the party back to them
without a fight!
1947
01:56:23,891 --> 01:56:26,268
Yes! And organise our own party!
1948
01:56:26,269 --> 01:56:29,229
Goddamn it, Louis,
the Socialist Party is our own party!
1949
01:56:29,230 --> 01:56:31,565
We were voted into power
by its membership
1950
01:56:31,566 --> 01:56:33,692
and we can't be expelled
by the executives.
1951
01:56:33,693 --> 01:56:37,195
It's an illegal act, and if we fight it
at the convention, we'll win.
1952
01:56:37,196 --> 01:56:38,405
Why do we have to fight?
1953
01:56:38,406 --> 01:56:39,739
What do you mean,
"Why do we have to fight?"
1954
01:56:39,740 --> 01:56:41,366
For what do we stay in a party
1955
01:56:41,367 --> 01:56:45,120
in which we must win control
from the minority, not once, but twice?
1956
01:56:45,121 --> 01:56:47,706
Well, what is it, Louis? You mean,
if we must fight for what we deserve,
1957
01:56:47,707 --> 01:56:50,625
then to hell with it?
Is that your idea of revolution?
1958
01:56:50,626 --> 01:56:53,420
I'd like to hear more about
your revolutionary concept, Louis.
1959
01:56:53,421 --> 01:56:56,715
My idea of revolution
is not a revolution in my own party!
1960
01:56:56,716 --> 01:57:00,760
And my idea of a socialist party
is not a debating society!
1961
01:57:00,761 --> 01:57:02,429
It is a party of action!
1962
01:57:02,430 --> 01:57:05,265
Fine! Fine.
1963
01:57:05,266 --> 01:57:08,310
The best example we can give them
is go to that convention
1964
01:57:08,311 --> 01:57:09,769
and take control of the party!
1965
01:57:09,770 --> 01:57:11,897
No! We form our own party!
1966
01:57:11,898 --> 01:57:15,275
And I hope that everybody here
who believe in Bolshevism
1967
01:57:15,276 --> 01:57:20,276
will be there that night
to help found that party!
1968
01:57:23,159 --> 01:57:25,160
All right, but I say you're wrong,
1969
01:57:25,161 --> 01:57:28,580
and I say that I'm gonna be there
at that Socialist Party convention
1970
01:57:28,581 --> 01:57:32,083
to take the seat that belongs to me,
and I urge everyone here today
1971
01:57:32,084 --> 01:57:36,129
to be there to take the seats
that belong to you!
1972
01:57:36,130 --> 01:57:38,590
It's almost like they want to be
separated from the masses.
1973
01:57:38,591 --> 01:57:41,301
They do want to be separated
from the masses. That's the point.
1974
01:57:41,302 --> 01:57:44,137
Let's go.
1975
01:57:44,138 --> 01:57:47,516
I've been in a minority before.
1976
01:57:47,517 --> 01:57:48,017
Hello.
1977
01:57:55,149 --> 01:57:56,775
While he liked the draft manifesto,
1978
01:57:56,776 --> 01:57:58,777
he's a bit nervous
about the social-patriot clause.
1979
01:57:58,778 --> 01:58:00,612
- Excuse me.
- Tactically, he's gonna be trouble.
1980
01:58:00,613 --> 01:58:02,447
Is he gonna bring his people
to the convention or not?
1981
01:58:02,448 --> 01:58:03,949
The man will talk theory
with you all year.
1982
01:58:03,950 --> 01:58:05,825
Well, I don't think so.
He'll go with Fraina.
1983
01:58:05,826 --> 01:58:08,787
Isn't that nice? He likes the manifesto.
How about Carnofsky?
1984
01:58:08,788 --> 01:58:11,122
I don't think we're gonna have
as much support as we thought, Jack.
1985
01:58:11,123 --> 01:58:13,124
We're gonna get in.
What did Carnofsky say?
1986
01:58:13,125 --> 01:58:14,960
- Carnofsky said no.
- I'm telling you, Jack...
1987
01:58:14,961 --> 01:58:17,295
- Just knowing on our own...
- Half of Fraina's people would come...
1988
01:58:17,296 --> 01:58:20,465
Come in!
Louise, please keep her quiet, will you?
1989
01:58:20,466 --> 01:58:21,716
- Hi, Eddie.
- How can...
1990
01:58:21,717 --> 01:58:24,469
- Hello, Eddie.
- Hello, Louise, Ben.
1991
01:58:24,470 --> 01:58:26,638
Hey.
1992
01:58:26,639 --> 01:58:30,475
Eddie, what about Levine?
1993
01:58:30,476 --> 01:58:33,311
- Eddie?
- Yeah.
1994
01:58:33,312 --> 01:58:36,856
- What did Levine say?
- He never showed. He...
1995
01:58:36,857 --> 01:58:38,525
I waited over an hour.
1996
01:58:38,526 --> 01:58:40,986
- Levine didn't show.
- That doesn't sound like Levine.
1997
01:58:40,987 --> 01:58:42,904
Sure it does. Where were you meeting?
1998
01:58:42,905 --> 01:58:44,072
In Casey's.
1999
01:58:44,073 --> 01:58:47,409
Now, that surprises me.
That really surprises me.
2000
01:58:47,410 --> 01:58:50,662
I could have missed him.
2001
01:58:50,663 --> 01:58:52,038
It was really busy in there.
2002
01:58:52,039 --> 01:58:55,041
- You could have missed him?
- What's that supposed to mean?
2003
01:58:55,042 --> 01:58:57,919
I was late.
2004
01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:02,173
How late?
2005
01:59:02,174 --> 01:59:05,176
Forty, forty-five minutes.
2006
01:59:05,177 --> 01:59:10,177
Nora started spitting up blood
again this morning.
2007
01:59:10,766 --> 01:59:12,183
I had to take her to the clinic,
2008
01:59:12,184 --> 01:59:16,021
and I had to wait for my mother
to come and pick up the kid.
2009
01:59:16,022 --> 01:59:19,524
So you were 45 minutes late.
2010
01:59:19,525 --> 01:59:22,235
Yeah. I thought I could make it.
I really did.
2011
01:59:22,236 --> 01:59:24,446
All right, we gotta get in touch
with the guy. How do we do it?
2012
01:59:24,447 --> 01:59:26,072
He's on his way to Chicago.
2013
01:59:26,073 --> 01:59:28,450
That's one of the reasons
I thought he would still be there.
2014
01:59:28,451 --> 01:59:31,202
Wait a minute,
you thought he'd still be there?
2015
01:59:31,203 --> 01:59:34,372
- Yeah.
- Who asked for the meeting, Eddie?
2016
01:59:34,373 --> 01:59:36,458
- Who asked for the meeting?
- Who asked for the meeting?
2017
01:59:36,459 --> 01:59:38,877
- Did Levine want the meeting?
- Yeah, I thought he wanted it.
2018
01:59:38,878 --> 01:59:41,046
Did he call us?
2019
01:59:41,047 --> 01:59:42,213
No. We called him.
2020
01:59:42,214 --> 01:59:47,214
Then why would he wait?
We wanted the meeting.
2021
01:59:50,890 --> 01:59:52,182
I'm sorry.
2022
01:59:52,183 --> 01:59:56,186
Well, why didn't you call one of us
and get somebody to take your place?
2023
01:59:56,187 --> 01:59:58,229
Because I thought I could make it.
2024
01:59:58,230 --> 01:59:59,856
I mean, I thought the man
would still be there.
2025
01:59:59,857 --> 02:00:03,652
You thought, you thought, you thought.
Try not to think too much, Eddie.
2026
02:00:03,653 --> 02:00:07,572
Not when your comrades
are depending on you.
2027
02:00:07,573 --> 02:00:08,117
Be sure.
2028
02:00:14,121 --> 02:00:15,372
All right, look.
2029
02:00:15,373 --> 02:00:18,375
Do we have a contact
for Levine in Chicago?
2030
02:00:18,376 --> 02:00:19,751
Let's call Singer.
2031
02:00:19,752 --> 02:00:24,752
- Do you have a number for him?
- Yeah. Well, I've probably got it.
2032
02:00:25,508 --> 02:00:28,093
Here.
2033
02:00:28,094 --> 02:00:30,553
Thanks.
2034
02:00:30,554 --> 02:00:31,846
You know, they might work better
2035
02:00:31,847 --> 02:00:35,725
if you put something in your stomach
besides coffee.
2036
02:00:35,726 --> 02:00:38,728
You're a little hard on Eddie,
aren't you, under the circumstances?
2037
02:00:38,729 --> 02:00:40,772
You think my sympathies
can help Eddie's wife?
2038
02:00:40,773 --> 02:00:42,440
Might help Eddie.
2039
02:00:42,441 --> 02:00:47,441
Listen to me.
Building a party will help Eddie.
2040
02:00:53,119 --> 02:00:58,119
Four, eight, twelve...
2041
02:01:01,794 --> 02:01:06,794
You know, I think we all believe
in the same things.
2042
02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:10,969
But with us,
2043
02:01:10,970 --> 02:01:15,724
it's more or less our good intentions.
2044
02:01:15,725 --> 02:01:20,725
And with Jack, it's a religion.
2045
02:01:27,319 --> 02:01:32,319
Our old friend Jack's
getting serious on us.
2046
02:01:35,202 --> 02:01:36,911
Okay. Hey, Frank, how are you?
2047
02:01:36,912 --> 02:01:41,666
How are you?
2048
02:01:41,667 --> 02:01:43,752
Excuse me. What's happening here?
2049
02:01:43,753 --> 02:01:46,671
No one's admitted without a red card.
That's the order of the Executive.
2050
02:01:46,672 --> 02:01:49,090
Well, I'm on the Executive,
so is he, so is he...
2051
02:01:49,091 --> 02:01:51,676
- No one's admitted without a red card.
- Where do we get the red cards?
2052
02:01:51,677 --> 02:01:53,636
You'll have to take that up
with the Credentials Committee.
2053
02:01:53,637 --> 02:01:55,346
And where's
the Credentials Committee?
2054
02:01:55,347 --> 02:01:57,265
I don't know.
2055
02:01:57,266 --> 02:01:59,434
I don't think he wants us to go in there.
2056
02:01:59,435 --> 02:02:01,436
Well, the way to take the hall
is to take the hall.
2057
02:02:01,437 --> 02:02:02,812
Edmund!
2058
02:02:02,813 --> 02:02:04,939
Edmund! Jack!
2059
02:02:04,940 --> 02:02:09,940
Okay. Let's go. Let's go.
Come on, this way!
2060
02:02:11,864 --> 02:02:15,200
To propose the agenda,
I would like to read a message
2061
02:02:15,201 --> 02:02:18,953
from the Credentials Committee
to the floor.
2062
02:02:18,954 --> 02:02:22,707
May we please have order back there?
2063
02:02:22,708 --> 02:02:24,959
In the back of the hall, could we have...
2064
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:28,880
Sergeant-at-arms, would you see
what's going on back there?
2065
02:02:28,881 --> 02:02:32,467
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems
we have a group of intruders
2066
02:02:32,468 --> 02:02:35,053
who are trying to take over
this conference.
2067
02:02:35,054 --> 02:02:37,138
We're not going to let them.
2068
02:02:37,139 --> 02:02:40,975
Now, please, please sit down.
I need these aisles clear.
2069
02:02:40,976 --> 02:02:44,270
Sergeant-at-arms,
I must have these aisles clear!
2070
02:02:44,271 --> 02:02:46,356
Please, everyone, sit down.
2071
02:02:46,357 --> 02:02:49,317
Now, these are Bolshevik sympathisers
2072
02:02:49,318 --> 02:02:53,613
who are trying to take over this party,
and we're not going to let them.
2073
02:02:53,614 --> 02:02:56,407
The police are coming.
2074
02:02:56,408 --> 02:03:01,408
These people aren 't socialists.
These people are just thugs!
2075
02:03:01,580 --> 02:03:04,040
Now you see? That is Bolshevik tactics!
2076
02:03:04,041 --> 02:03:06,167
Come on, delegates.
These people are impostors!
2077
02:03:06,168 --> 02:03:08,378
They were not elected
to the leadership of this party.
2078
02:03:08,379 --> 02:03:11,881
Ladies and gentlemen,
the police are coming!
2079
02:03:11,882 --> 02:03:14,342
- You see? The police.
- What the hell is this?
2080
02:03:14,343 --> 02:03:17,428
That's the only way the Executive
Committee can stay in power,
2081
02:03:17,429 --> 02:03:19,264
is by the use of the capitalist police.
2082
02:03:19,265 --> 02:03:20,598
Flash your red cards!
2083
02:03:20,599 --> 02:03:23,142
They'll resort to any tactics
to keep the working class
2084
02:03:23,143 --> 02:03:26,604
away from its true leadership
because they're afraid of revolution!
2085
02:03:26,605 --> 02:03:31,025
Officers, whoever has no red card
does not belong in this room.
2086
02:03:31,026 --> 02:03:32,193
Hold up your red cards.
2087
02:03:32,194 --> 02:03:34,946
It's all right. We're going.
You don't have to throw us out.
2088
02:03:34,947 --> 02:03:36,739
If you want to know
where the true leadership
2089
02:03:36,740 --> 02:03:38,491
of the Socialist Party of America is,
2090
02:03:38,492 --> 02:03:41,494
it'll be in the basement of this building
in five minutes...
2091
02:03:41,495 --> 02:03:44,372
- Red cards, everybody!
- ...and you're welcome to join us.
2092
02:03:44,373 --> 02:03:49,373
I want anybody who does not have
a red card to be out of this hall.
2093
02:04:35,716 --> 02:04:38,927
Comrade Chairman, I move that
we immediately constitute ourselves
2094
02:04:38,928 --> 02:04:40,678
as the bona fide Communist party,
2095
02:04:40,679 --> 02:04:42,972
and that we call ourselves the
Communist Labour Party of America.
2096
02:04:42,973 --> 02:04:44,140
I second that motion!
2097
02:04:44,141 --> 02:04:46,392
Well, look, if we're gonna have
a really revolutionary party,
2098
02:04:46,393 --> 02:04:49,145
I think what we have to do
is to find out from the American worker
2099
02:04:49,146 --> 02:04:51,981
what he wants the most and then
we have to translate it back to him
2100
02:04:51,982 --> 02:04:53,983
in terms of the labour movement
as a whole.
2101
02:04:53,984 --> 02:04:55,652
What we have to do
is make him want more.
2102
02:04:55,653 --> 02:04:58,488
We have to make him want
the whole goddamn revolution.
2103
02:04:58,489 --> 02:05:01,115
Those people upstairs
think that Karl Marx was somebody
2104
02:05:01,116 --> 02:05:02,825
who wrote a good antitrust law.
2105
02:05:02,826 --> 02:05:05,078
And whether we call our party
the Socialist Labour Party
2106
02:05:05,079 --> 02:05:07,413
or the Real Socialist Communist...
Whatever we call the party,
2107
02:05:07,414 --> 02:05:10,625
it doesn't matter because it...
2108
02:05:10,626 --> 02:05:12,502
Hello, Lou, are you lost?
2109
02:05:12,503 --> 02:05:15,546
No. I'm not lost.
I'm here to tell my friends
2110
02:05:15,547 --> 02:05:18,216
that the newly-formed
Communist Party of America
2111
02:05:18,217 --> 02:05:21,552
is meeting at the Russian Federation
on Blue Island Avenue.
2112
02:05:21,553 --> 02:05:23,763
We welcome your applications.
2113
02:05:23,764 --> 02:05:26,432
They will be judged
on an individual basis.
2114
02:05:26,433 --> 02:05:28,184
You're gonna judge our applications?
2115
02:05:28,185 --> 02:05:30,228
We're gonna apply to you
for membership?
2116
02:05:30,229 --> 02:05:32,772
Comrade Chairman,
I'd like to call that question, please.
2117
02:05:32,773 --> 02:05:34,565
The motion has been made
and seconded that
2118
02:05:34,566 --> 02:05:38,152
we immediately constitute ourselves
as the bona fide Communist party
2119
02:05:38,153 --> 02:05:41,280
and that we call ourselves the
Communist Labour Party of America.
2120
02:05:41,281 --> 02:05:43,783
All those in favour,
please signify by saying aye.
2121
02:05:43,784 --> 02:05:44,909
Aye!
2122
02:05:44,910 --> 02:05:48,413
Opposed? Motion is carried.
2123
02:05:48,414 --> 02:05:50,164
Comrades! Comrades!
2124
02:05:50,165 --> 02:05:54,043
Comrades, this is the wrong time
to be fighting against one another.
2125
02:05:54,044 --> 02:05:57,171
We should be united in our struggle
against the capitalists.
2126
02:05:57,172 --> 02:05:59,340
You should have thought of that
six weeks ago, Louis.
2127
02:05:59,341 --> 02:06:01,968
If your people had stayed with us,
we'd have had a majority,
2128
02:06:01,969 --> 02:06:03,845
and we'd be in control
of that convention upstairs.
2129
02:06:03,846 --> 02:06:05,638
We have five times your membership!
2130
02:06:05,639 --> 02:06:08,224
Louis, your arithmetic's
something like your politics.
2131
02:06:08,225 --> 02:06:11,936
We will be at the Russian Federation
on Blue Island Avenue.
2132
02:06:11,937 --> 02:06:13,730
I hope to see some of you there.
2133
02:06:13,731 --> 02:06:16,232
Comrade Chairman, I move we
immediately send a delegate to Moscow
2134
02:06:16,233 --> 02:06:17,900
to gain recognition by the Comintern
2135
02:06:17,901 --> 02:06:19,569
for the Communist Labour Party
of America,
2136
02:06:19,570 --> 02:06:22,280
- and that delegate be Jack Reed.
- Second the motion!
2137
02:06:22,281 --> 02:06:24,407
The motion has been made
and seconded to send Jack Reed
2138
02:06:24,408 --> 02:06:26,534
to Moscow immediately
as the international delegate
2139
02:06:26,535 --> 02:06:28,578
to obtain recognition of the Comintern
2140
02:06:28,579 --> 02:06:30,913
for the Communist Labour Party
of America.
2141
02:06:30,914 --> 02:06:32,957
All those in favour,
please signify by saying aye.
2142
02:06:32,958 --> 02:06:34,125
Aye!
2143
02:06:34,126 --> 02:06:37,378
Opposed? Motion is carried.
2144
02:06:37,379 --> 02:06:40,089
Since the first question
I'm going to be asked...
2145
02:06:40,090 --> 02:06:41,424
All right, thank you.
2146
02:06:41,425 --> 02:06:43,968
All right, comrades, since
the first question I'm gonna be asked
2147
02:06:43,969 --> 02:06:46,846
by the Comintern is gonna be
about membership eligibility,
2148
02:06:46,847 --> 02:06:49,640
I think I'm gonna have to be very clear
what our position is
2149
02:06:49,641 --> 02:06:51,684
in relation to
the Foreign Language Federation.
2150
02:06:51,685 --> 02:06:54,020
I'm gonna have to say exactly
what our requirements are
2151
02:06:54,021 --> 02:06:55,396
as opposed to any other group,
2152
02:06:55,397 --> 02:06:58,149
and I think we'll have to make it clear
on our Platform Committee
2153
02:06:58,150 --> 02:06:59,609
and be very clear in the manifesto.
2154
02:06:59,610 --> 02:07:00,943
- Good luck in Moscow, Jack!
- Okay, Harry.
2155
02:07:00,944 --> 02:07:05,944
Well, I guess you boys think
you can run a newspaper without me.
2156
02:07:17,669 --> 02:07:22,173
Hello, Jessie.
2157
02:07:22,174 --> 02:07:25,843
Good girl.
2158
02:07:25,844 --> 02:07:30,844
- Hello.
- Hello.
2159
02:08:04,633 --> 02:08:09,633
Let me make it easy for you, Jack.
I'm not going with you.
2160
02:08:14,977 --> 02:08:19,397
And if you go, I'm not sure I'll be here
when you get back.
2161
02:08:19,398 --> 02:08:24,277
Louise, you know, the Comintern
doesn't know Edmund or Alfred
2162
02:08:24,278 --> 02:08:26,404
from the New York Yankees.
They know me.
2163
02:08:26,405 --> 02:08:31,405
Somebody's got to go over there
Who's got a background.
2164
02:08:32,744 --> 02:08:37,744
We'd be back by Christmas.
2165
02:08:38,959 --> 02:08:40,501
We can't merge with Fraina.
2166
02:08:40,502 --> 02:08:42,461
We can't deal with him
on membership eligibility.
2167
02:08:42,462 --> 02:08:44,672
He wouldn't accept half of our people.
2168
02:08:44,673 --> 02:08:47,091
The man is gonna do nothing
but alienate himself
2169
02:08:47,092 --> 02:08:49,594
from any potential
broad base of support.
2170
02:08:49,595 --> 02:08:51,262
He's sociologically isolated,
2171
02:08:51,263 --> 02:08:52,847
programmatically he's impossible
to deal with...
2172
02:08:52,848 --> 02:08:55,141
You mean he's a foreigner?
2173
02:08:55,142 --> 02:08:56,642
Don't do that, Louise.
2174
02:08:56,643 --> 02:08:58,102
Six months ago, you were friends.
2175
02:08:58,103 --> 02:08:59,687
These people can barely speak English.
2176
02:08:59,688 --> 02:09:02,523
They don't even want to be integrated
into American life.
2177
02:09:02,524 --> 02:09:04,859
The Foreign Language Federations
aren't gonna create Bolshevism
2178
02:09:04,860 --> 02:09:07,612
in America any more
than eating borscht will.
2179
02:09:07,613 --> 02:09:09,280
Being Russian
doesn't make a revolution.
2180
02:09:09,281 --> 02:09:10,531
Do you think the American workers
2181
02:09:10,532 --> 02:09:12,200
are gonna be led
by the Russian federations?
2182
02:09:12,201 --> 02:09:14,327
Or an insular Italian like Louis Fraina?
2183
02:09:14,328 --> 02:09:16,954
He has no possibility
of leading a revolution in this country.
2184
02:09:16,955 --> 02:09:18,164
Unlike you?
2185
02:09:18,165 --> 02:09:20,124
I'm just saying
that the revolution in this country
2186
02:09:20,125 --> 02:09:21,459
is not gonna be led by immigrants.
2187
02:09:21,460 --> 02:09:26,297
Revolution? In this country?
When, Jack? Just after Christmas?
2188
02:09:26,298 --> 02:09:28,299
Well, what do you think
we could've done with the steel strike
2189
02:09:28,300 --> 02:09:29,467
if we'd been ready?
2190
02:09:29,468 --> 02:09:32,970
30,000 party members all armed
with a unified theory and programme
2191
02:09:32,971 --> 02:09:35,389
leading 365,000 steelworkers?
2192
02:09:35,390 --> 02:09:37,308
What it takes is leadership.
2193
02:09:37,309 --> 02:09:39,685
And we gotta get it
by getting recognition from Moscow.
2194
02:09:39,686 --> 02:09:41,229
- I have to go.
- You don't have to go.
2195
02:09:41,230 --> 02:09:44,148
You want to go. You want to go running
all over the world ranting and raving
2196
02:09:44,149 --> 02:09:46,567
and making resolutions
and organising caucuses.
2197
02:09:46,568 --> 02:09:48,486
What's the difference
between the Communist Party
2198
02:09:48,487 --> 02:09:49,862
and the Communist Labour Party
2199
02:09:49,863 --> 02:09:52,198
except that you're running one
and he's running the other?
2200
02:09:52,199 --> 02:09:55,368
- I've made a commitment.
- To what?
2201
02:09:55,369 --> 02:09:58,162
To the fine distinction between
which half of the left of the left
2202
02:09:58,163 --> 02:10:01,582
is recognised by Moscow as
the real Communist Party in America?
2203
02:10:01,583 --> 02:10:04,877
To petty political squabbling between
humourless and hack politicians
2204
02:10:04,878 --> 02:10:07,838
just wasting their time
on left-wing dogma?
2205
02:10:07,839 --> 02:10:10,007
To getting the endorsement
of a Committee in Russia
2206
02:10:10,008 --> 02:10:11,217
you call the International
2207
02:10:11,218 --> 02:10:13,844
for your group of 14 intellectual friends
in the basement
2208
02:10:13,845 --> 02:10:16,264
who are supposed to tell the workers
of this country what they want,
2209
02:10:16,265 --> 02:10:21,265
whether they want it or not?
2210
02:10:25,565 --> 02:10:29,235
Write, Jack.
2211
02:10:29,236 --> 02:10:31,445
You're not a politician, you're a writer.
2212
02:10:31,446 --> 02:10:33,281
And your writing has done more
for the revolution
2213
02:10:33,282 --> 02:10:37,076
than 20 years of this infighting can do,
and you know it.
2214
02:10:37,077 --> 02:10:42,077
You're an artist, Jack.
2215
02:11:01,435 --> 02:11:03,811
Don't go.
2216
02:11:03,812 --> 02:11:08,812
Don't run away
from what you do the best.
2217
02:11:10,110 --> 02:11:10,610
Jack.
2218
02:11:20,912 --> 02:11:25,912
I'll be back by Christmas.
2219
02:11:48,565 --> 02:11:51,442
I'm going into the city.
When do you leave?
2220
02:11:51,443 --> 02:11:53,277
Tomorrow.
2221
02:11:53,278 --> 02:11:56,655
- I see.
- I'll be back by Christmas.
2222
02:11:56,656 --> 02:12:01,160
Will you be here?
2223
02:12:01,161 --> 02:12:06,161
I don't know. I'll see you when I see you.
2224
02:12:20,597 --> 02:12:25,597
Here. Your passport and papers.
Your name's James Gormley.
2225
02:12:26,186 --> 02:12:26,686
Go now!
2226
02:13:11,690 --> 02:13:16,235
Well, Mrs Reed. Sit down.
2227
02:13:16,236 --> 02:13:18,070
What can I do for you?
2228
02:13:18,071 --> 02:13:22,199
Hello, Gene. How are you?
2229
02:13:22,200 --> 02:13:25,911
Fine. And you?
2230
02:13:25,912 --> 02:13:26,524
I'm fine.
2231
02:13:40,093 --> 02:13:40,705
Sit down.
2232
02:13:47,350 --> 02:13:50,895
- How's Jack?
- He's fine. He's in Russia.
2233
02:13:50,896 --> 02:13:52,062
- Is he?
- Yes.
2234
02:13:52,063 --> 02:13:53,939
He's trying to get recognition
from the Comintern
2235
02:13:53,940 --> 02:13:56,233
for the Communist Labour Party.
2236
02:13:56,234 --> 02:13:59,278
You see, they've split
into two different factions.
2237
02:13:59,279 --> 02:14:04,279
And you?
Left alone with your work again?
2238
02:14:04,784 --> 02:14:06,243
No.
2239
02:14:06,244 --> 02:14:08,746
Well, actually, yes,
but my work is different now.
2240
02:14:08,747 --> 02:14:11,624
I do a lot of lecturing
about what I saw in Russia.
2241
02:14:11,625 --> 02:14:14,293
Ah, yes, Russia.
2242
02:14:14,294 --> 02:14:17,046
Russia's been good for you and Jack.
2243
02:14:17,047 --> 02:14:22,047
Given you a way to meet people,
given him a reason to leave home.
2244
02:14:22,761 --> 02:14:25,262
Russia.
2245
02:14:25,263 --> 02:14:26,472
Russia.
2246
02:14:26,473 --> 02:14:29,266
Are you really that cynical,
or are you angry with me?
2247
02:14:29,267 --> 02:14:32,102
I'm really that cynical.
Why would I be angry with you?
2248
02:14:32,103 --> 02:14:33,646
Gene, if you'd been to Russia,
2249
02:14:33,647 --> 02:14:35,773
you'd never be cynical
about anything again.
2250
02:14:35,774 --> 02:14:38,734
You would have seen
people transformed. Ordinary people.
2251
02:14:38,735 --> 02:14:43,614
Louise, something in me tightens when
an American intellectual's eyes shine
2252
02:14:43,615 --> 02:14:46,784
and they start to talk to me
about the Russian people.
2253
02:14:46,785 --> 02:14:48,786
- Wait...
- Something in me says, "Watch it."
2254
02:14:48,787 --> 02:14:52,957
"A new version of Irish Catholicism
is being offered for your faith."
2255
02:14:52,958 --> 02:14:54,625
- It's not like that.
- And I wonder why
2256
02:14:54,626 --> 02:14:59,380
a lovely wife like Louise Reed
Who's just seen the brave new world
2257
02:14:59,381 --> 02:15:01,799
is sitting around
with a cynical bastard like me
2258
02:15:01,800 --> 02:15:06,303
instead of trotting all over Russia
with her idealistic husband.
2259
02:15:06,304 --> 02:15:11,304
It's almost worth being converted.
2260
02:15:13,228 --> 02:15:15,938
Well, I was wrong to come.
2261
02:15:15,939 --> 02:15:20,776
You and Jack have a lot of
middle-class dreams for two radicals.
2262
02:15:20,777 --> 02:15:24,280
Jack dreams that he can hustle
the American working man,
2263
02:15:24,281 --> 02:15:27,157
whose one dream is to be rich enough
not to have to work,
2264
02:15:27,158 --> 02:15:29,827
into a revolution led by his party.
2265
02:15:29,828 --> 02:15:32,788
And you dream that if you discuss
the revolution with a man
2266
02:15:32,789 --> 02:15:34,582
before you go to bed with him,
2267
02:15:34,583 --> 02:15:37,501
it'll be missionary work rather than sex.
2268
02:15:37,502 --> 02:15:41,088
I'm sorry to see you and Jack
so serious about your sports.
2269
02:15:41,089 --> 02:15:43,632
It's particularly disappointing
in you, Louise.
2270
02:15:43,633 --> 02:15:48,633
You had a lighter touch
when you were touting free love.
2271
02:15:49,848 --> 02:15:52,808
Boy, you've become quite the critic,
haven't you, Gene?
2272
02:15:52,809 --> 02:15:55,686
Just leaned back and analysed us all.
2273
02:15:55,687 --> 02:15:58,439
Duplicitous women who tout free love
and then get married,
2274
02:15:58,440 --> 02:16:00,774
power-mad journalists
who join the revolution
2275
02:16:00,775 --> 02:16:02,151
instead of observing it,
2276
02:16:02,152 --> 02:16:04,361
middle-class radicals
who come looking for sex
2277
02:16:04,362 --> 02:16:05,946
and then talk about Russia.
2278
02:16:05,947 --> 02:16:08,198
It must seem so contemptible
to a man like you
2279
02:16:08,199 --> 02:16:11,201
who has the Courage to sit on his ass
and observe human inadequacy
2280
02:16:11,202 --> 02:16:13,037
from the inside of a bottle.
2281
02:16:13,038 --> 02:16:15,331
Well, I've never seen you
do anything for anyone.
2282
02:16:15,332 --> 02:16:16,874
I've never seen you
give anything to anyone,
2283
02:16:16,875 --> 02:16:20,377
so I can understand why you might
suspect the motives of those who have.
2284
02:16:20,378 --> 02:16:24,381
But whatever Jack's motives are, how...
2285
02:16:24,382 --> 02:16:29,136
I seem to have touched a wound.
2286
02:16:29,137 --> 02:16:30,679
You're a wounding son of a bitch,
2287
02:16:30,680 --> 02:16:35,680
and whatever I've done to you,
you've made me pay for it.
2288
02:16:35,810 --> 02:16:36,310
Louise.
2289
02:17:06,216 --> 02:17:07,925
Jessie!
2290
02:17:07,926 --> 02:17:11,345
Hey, Jess, come on! Come here, Jess.
2291
02:17:11,346 --> 02:17:16,346
Jessie, come here.
2292
02:17:18,436 --> 02:17:18,936
Jessie.
2293
02:17:56,641 --> 02:17:57,141
Jessie?
2294
02:18:15,744 --> 02:18:16,827
Jessie?
2295
02:18:16,828 --> 02:18:18,454
- Oh!
- Good evening.
2296
02:18:18,455 --> 02:18:20,664
By the order of the Attorney General
of the United States,
2297
02:18:20,665 --> 02:18:22,499
A. Mitchell Palmer,
I have a warrant here
2298
02:18:22,500 --> 02:18:24,334
for the arrest of one John Silas Reed.
2299
02:18:24,335 --> 02:18:29,335
Look upstairs, Frank.
2300
02:18:33,136 --> 02:18:36,013
- Arrest for what?
- Sedition.
2301
02:18:36,014 --> 02:18:38,182
- Where is he?
- What do you mean by sedition?
2302
02:18:38,183 --> 02:18:40,642
Lady, don't ask me.
Ask Woodrow Wilson.
2303
02:18:40,643 --> 02:18:45,643
Just tell me where he is.
2304
02:18:47,817 --> 02:18:49,151
I don't suppose there's a Chance
2305
02:18:49,152 --> 02:18:52,404
of you being a Bolshevik agitator,
is there?
2306
02:18:52,405 --> 02:18:56,033
Why don't you just look around,
and see how agitated you get?
2307
02:18:56,034 --> 02:18:58,577
In 1919,
2308
02:18:58,578 --> 02:19:00,746
there were no more
2309
02:19:00,747 --> 02:19:04,541
than four or five Americans
2310
02:19:04,542 --> 02:19:06,585
who got into Russia
2311
02:19:06,586 --> 02:19:11,586
because the count/y was surrounded
on all sides.
2312
02:19:11,883 --> 02:19:15,969
You were actually forbidden to go,
and you could only go illegally.
2313
02:19:15,970 --> 02:19:19,181
It was very dangerous
to go through Finland.
2314
02:19:19,182 --> 02:19:21,809
Because the Finns
were a White government,
2315
02:19:21,810 --> 02:19:25,103
and they were bitterly opposed
to the Reds.
2316
02:19:25,104 --> 02:19:27,022
They decided to strangle
2317
02:19:27,023 --> 02:19:30,484
the revo/utiona/y Bolshevik infant
in its cradle.
2318
02:19:30,485 --> 02:19:34,822
And 16 armies went into Russia
from the east and from the west,
2319
02:19:34,823 --> 02:19:37,199
for the purpose
of wiping out the Bolsheviks
2320
02:19:37,200 --> 02:19:39,201
and wiping out the revolution
2321
02:19:39,202 --> 02:19:44,202
and restoring Christian civilisation
to its rightful place.
2322
02:20:09,315 --> 02:20:10,732
Speak English.
2323
02:20:10,733 --> 02:20:13,068
Have a lemon.
You won't see one for a long time.
2324
02:20:13,069 --> 02:20:16,613
Thank you. I just want to know
if you think that I was clear
2325
02:20:16,614 --> 02:20:18,907
- in what I said about...
- Eminently clear.
2326
02:20:18,908 --> 02:20:21,660
Salt?
2327
02:20:21,661 --> 02:20:23,996
- Salt?
- For the lemon.
2328
02:20:23,997 --> 02:20:27,374
Thank you.
2329
02:20:27,375 --> 02:20:30,210
I see you eat the peel with the lemon.
2330
02:20:30,211 --> 02:20:34,006
Fights the scurvy. So does the onion.
2331
02:20:34,007 --> 02:20:38,510
Together, they fight better.
2332
02:20:38,511 --> 02:20:41,179
You see, what I really wanted to do
2333
02:20:41,180 --> 02:20:43,849
was ask your frank opinion
whether we...
2334
02:20:43,850 --> 02:20:47,060
You think we'll get the endorsement
from the Committee.
2335
02:20:47,061 --> 02:20:52,061
- I ask unofficially, of course.
- Unofficially?
2336
02:20:53,318 --> 02:20:56,445
Unofficially, I don't know.
2337
02:20:56,446 --> 02:20:59,031
Yeah, well, it's such a...
2338
02:20:59,032 --> 02:21:02,701
It's a peculiarly American problem
and I...
2339
02:21:02,702 --> 02:21:05,621
- You do think I was clear?
- Quite clear.
2340
02:21:05,622 --> 02:21:09,875
In this case, however, clarity does not
necessarily guarantee endorsement.
2341
02:21:09,876 --> 02:21:12,961
Well, I don't know.
In this case, I think perhaps it might.
2342
02:21:12,962 --> 02:21:16,840
You know, in fact, I don't...
2343
02:21:16,841 --> 02:21:19,843
What I really want to do
is to make a detailed report
2344
02:21:19,844 --> 02:21:22,804
for the Executive Committee to read
on conditions in America.
2345
02:21:22,805 --> 02:21:25,974
You see, I'd like to deal in that report
with the entire history
2346
02:21:25,975 --> 02:21:27,684
of the American Federation of Labour.
2347
02:21:27,685 --> 02:21:29,978
I'd like to deal
with its support of the war, you see.
2348
02:21:29,979 --> 02:21:33,315
And I'm gonna talk
about the persecution of the IWW,
2349
02:21:33,316 --> 02:21:35,984
I'm gonna deal with the rise
of the patrioteering societies,
2350
02:21:35,985 --> 02:21:37,945
and the capitulation
of leading socialists.
2351
02:21:37,946 --> 02:21:40,614
- I'm gonna... Am I speaking too quickly?
- No, no. Go on.
2352
02:21:40,615 --> 02:21:45,494
And so I will deal with
the rising militancy of American labour.
2353
02:21:45,495 --> 02:21:49,331
I'll talk about the general strikes
in Seattle and Winnipeg,
2354
02:21:49,332 --> 02:21:50,832
the Boston police strike.
2355
02:21:50,833 --> 02:21:53,961
I'm gonna discuss the Plumb Plan,
and particularly the attitude
2356
02:21:53,962 --> 02:21:56,838
and the policies of the AF of L
and IWW toward them.
2357
02:21:56,839 --> 02:22:01,839
Now, after that, I think it's important...
2358
02:22:06,182 --> 02:22:08,850
Comrade Reed, the Executive
Committee of the Comintern
2359
02:22:08,851 --> 02:22:12,187
has decided against endorsing
either the Communist Labour Party
2360
02:22:12,188 --> 02:22:14,272
or the Communist Party of America,
2361
02:22:14,273 --> 02:22:19,273
and instructs the two parties
to merge forthwith.
2362
02:22:22,657 --> 02:22:23,991
Sit here, Comrade Reed.
2363
02:22:23,992 --> 02:22:26,076
This time, your usual chair,
as you can see,
2364
02:22:26,077 --> 02:22:29,162
is now occupied by your detailed report
on American conditions.
2365
02:22:29,163 --> 02:22:31,790
A most penetrating study.
Very, very clear.
2366
02:22:31,791 --> 02:22:33,542
Thank you.
2367
02:22:33,543 --> 02:22:36,712
Obviously, it wasn't clear enough.
2368
02:22:36,713 --> 02:22:37,963
Comrade Radek,
2369
02:22:37,964 --> 02:22:40,590
I think there must have been
some mistake
2370
02:22:40,591 --> 02:22:44,594
about my travel arrangements
about my return to the United States.
2371
02:22:44,595 --> 02:22:49,057
Well, it seems as if I've been asked
to report to the Propaganda Bureau.
2372
02:22:49,058 --> 02:22:50,308
That is right.
2373
02:22:50,309 --> 02:22:53,770
Comrade Reed,
the Executive Committee has decided
2374
02:22:53,771 --> 02:22:56,481
you are very much needed
at the Propaganda Bureau.
2375
02:22:56,482 --> 02:22:59,234
We plan for you to remain
in Soviet Russia until July.
2376
02:22:59,235 --> 02:23:01,403
You're very welcome
to the Bureau of Propaganda.
2377
02:23:01,404 --> 02:23:02,821
Well, thank you very much,
2378
02:23:02,822 --> 02:23:05,657
but I thought that these
travel arrangements had been made.
2379
02:23:05,658 --> 02:23:08,035
I have to get to the Latvian
or the Finnish border.
2380
02:23:08,036 --> 02:23:10,328
And to which border would you suggest,
Comrade Reed?
2381
02:23:10,329 --> 02:23:12,914
Well, I understand that train travel
is very dangerous at the moment...
2382
02:23:12,915 --> 02:23:15,584
Why does he need a train?
2383
02:23:15,585 --> 02:23:19,004
Because I have urgent personal
considerations and responsibilities
2384
02:23:19,005 --> 02:23:22,049
- in the United States and I...
- Of what nature?
2385
02:23:22,050 --> 02:23:27,050
- Excuse me?
- Of what nature?
2386
02:23:28,264 --> 02:23:32,392
- I have a family.
- We all have families.
2387
02:23:32,393 --> 02:23:36,897
Well, I can speak only for myself
and I must see my wife.
2388
02:23:36,898 --> 02:23:39,566
It's very urgent,
2389
02:23:39,567 --> 02:23:43,570
and I ask only
for a single place on a train.
2390
02:23:43,571 --> 02:23:45,072
But you have a place on the train!
2391
02:23:45,073 --> 02:23:47,199
You have a place
on the train of this revolution.
2392
02:23:47,200 --> 02:23:49,618
You have been like so many others,
the best revolutionaries.
2393
02:23:49,619 --> 02:23:52,079
One of the engineers
on the locomotive of this train
2394
02:23:52,080 --> 02:23:55,999
that pulls this revolution
on the tracks of historical necessity
2395
02:23:56,000 --> 02:23:57,709
laid out for it by the party.
2396
02:23:57,710 --> 02:23:59,628
You can't leave us now.
We can't replace you.
2397
02:23:59,629 --> 02:24:01,421
- What right do you have to leave...
- I'm not sure.
2398
02:24:01,422 --> 02:24:03,590
To do what? To see your wife?
2399
02:24:03,591 --> 02:24:05,300
Last year at the International Congress
2400
02:24:05,301 --> 02:24:07,052
I learned that my son
was very ill of typhus.
2401
02:24:07,053 --> 02:24:08,678
I didn't go to see my son
2402
02:24:08,679 --> 02:24:11,765
because I knew I was needed
where I was placed by the party.
2403
02:24:11,766 --> 02:24:12,974
What you don't understand is...
2404
02:24:12,975 --> 02:24:15,602
Would you like to abandon this moment
in your life?
2405
02:24:15,603 --> 02:24:17,062
Would you ever get this moment again?
2406
02:24:17,063 --> 02:24:20,273
- I am not abandoning the revolution!
- Comrade Reed, you're a writer.
2407
02:24:20,274 --> 02:24:21,817
People know and respect your work.
2408
02:24:21,818 --> 02:24:25,153
- You speak with authority of feeling.
- Comrade Zinoviev,
2409
02:24:25,154 --> 02:24:26,613
for the past eight weeks,
2410
02:24:26,614 --> 02:24:29,741
I've been completely unable
to communicate with my wife
2411
02:24:29,742 --> 02:24:32,327
or with my comrades
in the United States.
2412
02:24:32,328 --> 02:24:34,204
I need to go back. I would like your help.
2413
02:24:34,205 --> 02:24:37,958
Comrade Reed, you can always go back
to your private responsibilities,
2414
02:24:37,959 --> 02:24:39,167
so can I.
2415
02:24:39,168 --> 02:24:44,168
You can never, never come back
to this moment in history.
2416
02:24:44,549 --> 02:24:45,757
I'm sorry.
2417
02:24:45,758 --> 02:24:47,968
I have no right to tell you
about your own life.
2418
02:24:47,969 --> 02:24:52,969
You know it better than I do.
2419
02:25:12,743 --> 02:25:15,078
Maybe it was Impossible
to get out of Russia.
2420
02:25:15,079 --> 02:25:17,497
There was White armies all around,
2421
02:25:17,498 --> 02:25:22,498
so escape was not dreamt of.
2422
02:26:16,807 --> 02:26:19,726
We had a communication from Jack.
2423
02:26:19,727 --> 02:26:23,355
He was in prison in Fin/and
where he cou/dn 't communicate freely.
2424
02:26:23,356 --> 02:26:26,149
But he got word out to me
2425
02:26:26,150 --> 02:26:28,693
to take a message to Louise.
2426
02:26:28,694 --> 02:26:31,988
And I remember walking over to Louise,
she lived right near me.
2427
02:26:31,989 --> 02:26:35,533
I walked over to Louise's apartment
on Patson Place,
2428
02:26:35,534 --> 02:26:38,662
and spent an evening with her
talking about Jack,
2429
02:26:38,663 --> 02:26:43,663
and she talked very earnestly
about Jack's plight.
2430
02:26:54,553 --> 02:26:57,097
Mrs Reed, the United States
cannot involve itself
2431
02:26:57,098 --> 02:26:58,682
in the internal affairs of Finland.
2432
02:26:58,683 --> 02:27:00,517
Are you trying to tell me
the American Consul
2433
02:27:00,518 --> 02:27:03,186
- can't give you any information?
- I'm afraid that there's nothing
2434
02:27:03,187 --> 02:27:05,730
- that the State Department can do.
- Don't give me that garbage.
2435
02:27:05,731 --> 02:27:08,191
If his name were Rockefeller,
there'd be something you could do.
2436
02:27:08,192 --> 02:27:10,694
Mrs Reed, if your husband's name
were Rockefeller,
2437
02:27:10,695 --> 02:27:12,570
I think he would hardly be
under indictment
2438
02:27:12,571 --> 02:27:15,198
for a conspiracy to overthrow
the United States Government.
2439
02:27:15,199 --> 02:27:18,118
He has only one kidney.
He could be dangerously ill.
2440
02:27:18,119 --> 02:27:20,745
That is a Chance
that your husband took, Mrs Reed,
2441
02:27:20,746 --> 02:27:25,083
when he left the United States
without an exit visa or a passport.
2442
02:27:25,084 --> 02:27:28,044
Good day, Mrs Reed.
2443
02:27:28,045 --> 02:27:30,797
The United States
participated with the Allies
2444
02:27:30,798 --> 02:27:33,925
in military expeditions against
the Soviet Union
2445
02:27:33,926 --> 02:27:38,221
in an attempt to overcome them,
invade them,
2446
02:27:38,222 --> 02:27:40,932
and set up another government.
Oh, yes. Yes.
2447
02:27:40,933 --> 02:27:42,892
There was a noose
2448
02:27:42,893 --> 02:27:46,271
to be pulled around Russia
2449
02:27:46,272 --> 02:27:51,272
which gave you an idea
of how a whole count/y
2450
02:27:51,402 --> 02:27:56,402
can be surrounded
east, west, south, and north.
2451
02:28:04,582 --> 02:28:09,582
Your name,
and the name of your contact in Finland.
2452
02:28:25,102 --> 02:28:28,146
Your name,
and the name of your contact in Finland.
2453
02:28:28,147 --> 02:28:30,440
I don't know what colour...
2454
02:28:30,441 --> 02:28:31,941
I'll just get it myself.
2455
02:28:31,942 --> 02:28:34,444
- Would you get some...
- Would you like us to do it now?
2456
02:28:34,445 --> 02:28:36,029
- Okay.
- Oh, okay.
2457
02:28:36,030 --> 02:28:37,614
- All right.
- I understand.
2458
02:28:37,615 --> 02:28:39,449
From the top?
2459
02:28:39,450 --> 02:28:43,119
Oh, I see. Then they made a map.
2460
02:28:43,120 --> 02:28:44,454
Terry spoke to me.
2461
02:28:44,455 --> 02:28:47,707
Louise, I don't think you realise
how difficult this trip to be for a woman.
2462
02:28:47,708 --> 02:28:48,875
You'd have to stow away.
2463
02:28:48,876 --> 02:28:51,628
If you got there at all,
it would take you six months to...
2464
02:28:51,629 --> 02:28:53,963
Terry said that he thought that
you could arrange a freighter for me
2465
02:28:53,964 --> 02:28:55,799
- as far as NonNay.
- Don't know why you're saying it.
2466
02:28:55,800 --> 02:28:57,842
You know what I mean?
2467
02:28:57,843 --> 02:29:01,012
Sit down.
2468
02:29:01,013 --> 02:29:04,808
I want to talk to you about something.
2469
02:29:04,809 --> 02:29:06,017
Indicates the map.
2470
02:29:06,018 --> 02:29:07,644
I could go.
2471
02:29:07,645 --> 02:29:11,147
I can sign on as a seaman.
There'd be no questions asked.
2472
02:29:11,148 --> 02:29:16,148
I think under the circumstances...
2473
02:29:16,862 --> 02:29:20,323
Don't look at me like that.
Jack Reed's a friend of mine.
2474
02:29:20,324 --> 02:29:23,201
I'm not gonna let
the son of a bitch rot in jail.
2475
02:29:23,202 --> 02:29:28,202
Just seemed to me
that I'm not as interested...
2476
02:29:29,917 --> 02:29:32,669
and at this point...
2477
02:29:32,670 --> 02:29:34,045
Okay-
2478
02:29:34,046 --> 02:29:36,506
Wasn't he supposed to come over
to me on this?
2479
02:29:36,507 --> 02:29:39,008
I'll talk to Terry in the morning.
2480
02:29:39,009 --> 02:29:41,219
Where the cross is made...
2481
02:29:41,220 --> 02:29:46,220
I wish these son-of-a-bitches could act.
2482
02:30:29,268 --> 02:30:32,228
Your blood pressure is very high.
2483
02:30:32,229 --> 02:30:35,106
They only give me
some kind of salted fish.
2484
02:30:35,107 --> 02:30:38,234
The blood in your mouth
is from the gums.
2485
02:30:38,235 --> 02:30:41,571
You have scurvy.
2486
02:30:41,572 --> 02:30:46,572
An impressive shade of red, Comrade.
2487
02:30:50,247 --> 02:30:55,247
Could you send a cable to my wife?
2488
02:31:52,977 --> 02:31:57,977
Mr Reed, I have something for you.
2489
02:31:59,817 --> 02:32:03,152
- Is there a cable?
- There's nothing yet.
2490
02:32:03,153 --> 02:32:08,153
You should take one of these powders
in a glass of water, once a day.
2491
02:32:08,200 --> 02:32:10,326
Has she sent word to me here?
2492
02:32:10,327 --> 02:32:15,327
They won't say.
Our people can find out nothing.
2493
02:32:39,189 --> 02:32:44,189
You are being released.
2494
02:32:44,862 --> 02:32:49,862
You know, /must tell you,
I lost sight of John Reed completely.
2495
02:32:50,367 --> 02:32:52,368
But what I heard was
2496
02:32:52,369 --> 02:32:56,873
the Bolsheviki traded
some Finnish professors
2497
02:32:56,874 --> 02:32:59,417
for the release of John Reed.
2498
02:32:59,418 --> 02:33:01,169
John Reed.
2499
02:33:01,170 --> 02:33:05,214
We are here to welcome you.
2500
02:33:05,215 --> 02:33:07,717
Could you take me
to the telegraph office?
2501
02:33:07,718 --> 02:33:12,718
- Yes. Get in.
- Thank you.
2502
02:33:18,562 --> 02:33:22,732
"Louise Bryant, Croton-on... ".
2503
02:33:22,733 --> 02:33:24,359
Hudson.
2504
02:33:24,360 --> 02:33:27,278
"...Hudson, New York, USA.
2505
02:33:27,279 --> 02:33:28,738
"I'm safe. Stop.
2506
02:33:28,739 --> 02:33:31,074
"Please contact... ".
2507
02:33:31,075 --> 02:33:33,242
Contact. Please contact.
2508
02:33:33,243 --> 02:33:36,079
"Contact Petrograd telegraph office.
Stop."
2509
02:33:36,080 --> 02:33:39,040
"Have received no word from you. Stop."
2510
02:33:39,041 --> 02:33:42,418
"Please for... Forgive..."
2511
02:33:42,419 --> 02:33:44,253
Please forgive Christmas.
2512
02:33:44,254 --> 02:33:49,254
"Please forgive Christmas. Stop.
Love, JackP."
2513
02:33:51,428 --> 02:33:56,428
Could you send that right away?
2514
02:33:56,975 --> 02:33:59,602
Comrade Lenin said
2515
02:33:59,603 --> 02:34:04,603
he would trade,
for John Reed, fifty professors.
2516
02:34:05,442 --> 02:34:08,778
"Louise Bryant, Croton-on-Hudson,
2517
02:34:08,779 --> 02:34:10,488
"NeW York, USA. ".
2518
02:34:10,489 --> 02:34:13,741
- USA.
- "USA. Immediate."

02:34:13,742 --> 02:34:16,244
- /mmediate return...
- "Immediate return... "

02:34:18,122 --> 02:34:19,414
- ... Impossible.

2522
02:34:19,415 --> 02:34:22,125
- Louise Bryant, Croton...
- Croton.
2523
02:34:22,126 --> 02:34:24,794
- "Croton-on..."
- Croton-on-Hudson.
2524
02:34:24,795 --> 02:34:28,756
"Croton-on-Hudson, New York, USA."
2525
02:34:28,757 --> 02:34:33,757
"Still no word from you. Stop.
Have no fixed address. Stop."
2526
02:34:34,430 --> 02:34:39,430
"Louise Bryant.
Croton-on-Hudson, New York, USA."
2527
02:34:41,103 --> 02:34:44,480
"Must know, are you well? Stop."
2528
02:34:44,481 --> 02:34:46,941
- "Do not..."
- Do not understand.
2529
02:34:46,942 --> 02:34:51,942
"Do not understand
why no word from you. Stop."
2530
02:34:52,990 --> 02:34:57,990
"Louise Bryant.
Croton-on-Hudson, New York, USA.
2531
02:34:58,036 --> 02:34:59,620
- "Need..."
- Need word.
2532
02:34:59,621 --> 02:35:04,621
"Need word from you. Stop.
Do not understand your silence. Stop".
2533
02:35:04,626 --> 02:35:08,045
"Louise Bryant. Croton-on-Hudson,
2534
02:35:08,046 --> 02:35:12,467
- "New York, USA."
- Did you check R-E-A-D?
2535
02:35:12,468 --> 02:35:13,843
Yes. Yes.
2536
02:35:13,844 --> 02:35:15,136
And you checked R-E-l-D also?
2537
02:35:15,137 --> 02:35:17,972
I have looked R-E-/-D,
2538
02:35:17,973 --> 02:35:19,891
R-E-A-D,
2539
02:35:19,892 --> 02:35:24,892
R-E-D.
I have looked Goldman and Bryant.
2540
02:35:25,189 --> 02:35:28,191
I'm just... Excuse me. One second.
2541
02:35:28,192 --> 02:35:29,859
If, if...
2542
02:35:29,860 --> 02:35:33,321
I thought maybe there's some other way
of misspelling the name.
2543
02:35:33,322 --> 02:35:37,033
- You also looked under R-E-I-D?
- Yes, Comrade Reed.
2544
02:35:37,034 --> 02:35:41,412
- Yes, yes. What do you want?
- There's many people wait.
2545
02:35:41,413 --> 02:35:46,413
- Excuse me.
- If something come, we'll notify you.
2546
02:35:49,880 --> 02:35:51,672
What have you heard?
2547
02:35:51,673 --> 02:35:53,591
Not much. What have you heard?
2548
02:35:53,592 --> 02:35:56,594
I don't hear. Iwait.
They've jailed more anarchists.
2549
02:35:56,595 --> 02:36:00,097
But they made Bill Shatoff
head of the Siberian railway.
2550
02:36:00,098 --> 02:36:03,392
They treated me very well,
and I'm reserving myjudgement.
2551
02:36:03,393 --> 02:36:06,938
- Well, that's wise.
- There's so much I don't understand.
2552
02:36:06,939 --> 02:36:08,689
There are forests within easy reach
of Petrograd.
2553
02:36:08,690 --> 02:36:10,399
Why is this city freezing?
2554
02:36:10,400 --> 02:36:11,901
I asked Zinoviev.
2555
02:36:11,902 --> 02:36:14,445
He said our enemies have destroyed
all the means of transportation
2556
02:36:14,446 --> 02:36:16,197
and killed off our horses
as well as our men.
2557
02:36:16,198 --> 02:36:17,281
How would we get at it?
2558
02:36:17,282 --> 02:36:18,866
I said, "What about
the people of Petrograd?"
2559
02:36:18,867 --> 02:36:21,577
"They could go there together on foot
and haul the wood back with ropes."
2560
02:36:21,578 --> 02:36:23,246
He said, "Oh, yes, it would make
the people warmer",
2561
02:36:23,247 --> 02:36:26,040
"but it would interfere with the carrying
out of the main political policy."
2562
02:36:26,041 --> 02:36:28,876
- You get letters from America, E.G.?
- Oh, yes.
2563
02:36:28,877 --> 02:36:32,588
All opened by the Justice Department.
I hope they enjoy what they read. I don't.
2564
02:36:32,589 --> 02:36:35,091
So I asked him,
"What are the main political policies?"
2565
02:36:35,092 --> 02:36:37,802
Hesam,
"Concentration of all power in the hands"
2566
02:36:37,803 --> 02:36:39,470
"of the proletarian avant-garde."
2567
02:36:39,471 --> 02:36:43,933
"The avant-garde of the revolution,
which is the Communist Party."
2568
02:36:43,934 --> 02:36:46,602
Anybody mention Louise?
2569
02:36:46,603 --> 02:36:49,981
I don't think so.
You haven't heard from her?
2570
02:36:49,982 --> 02:36:52,984
I've sent her cables,
but I don't get any answer.
2571
02:36:52,985 --> 02:36:56,445
- For how long?
- A long time.
2572
02:36:56,446 --> 02:36:57,780
Wait.
2573
02:36:57,781 --> 02:37:00,658
Rhys Williams
mentioned her in his letter.
2574
02:37:00,659 --> 02:37:03,119
He hasn't heard from her, either.
2575
02:37:03,120 --> 02:37:05,621
What'd he say?
2576
02:37:05,622 --> 02:37:09,000
I think he said
that he'd tried to reach her
2577
02:37:09,001 --> 02:37:14,001
sometime after Christmas,
but she'd left New York.
2578
02:37:15,841 --> 02:37:18,009
How long ago was that?
2579
02:37:18,010 --> 02:37:20,595
Well, you know how these letters take
a couple of months to get here.
2580
02:37:20,596 --> 02:37:25,516
By the time I get them, whoever sent it
is either in jail or deported.
2581
02:37:25,517 --> 02:37:27,310
- That's it.
- Which?
2582
02:37:27,311 --> 02:37:29,145
There. Rhys Williams.
2583
02:37:29,146 --> 02:37:31,522
Oh.
2584
02:37:31,523 --> 02:37:34,984
- First the eyes go, then the legs.
- Yeah.
2585
02:37:34,985 --> 02:37:39,322
Yeah, I don't understand
the fuel situation, either.
2586
02:37:39,323 --> 02:37:44,323
I don't know...
2587
02:37:45,370 --> 02:37:47,997
He says she seems to be out of town.
2588
02:37:47,998 --> 02:37:50,791
That's all he said?
2589
02:37:50,792 --> 02:37:52,460
Yeah.
2590
02:37:52,461 --> 02:37:54,545
What did he say about O'Neill?
2591
02:37:54,546 --> 02:37:56,672
O'Neill? Nothing.
2592
02:37:56,673 --> 02:37:59,634
Come on, what did he say?
2593
02:37:59,635 --> 02:38:01,010
Nothing.
2594
02:38:01,011 --> 02:38:06,011
Can I see it?
2595
02:38:08,644 --> 02:38:13,644
I'm sorry.
2596
02:38:18,195 --> 02:38:23,195
I just don't know where...
2597
02:38:24,076 --> 02:38:29,076
Jack, sit down.
2598
02:38:37,923 --> 02:38:39,882
If Louise were to come here,
2599
02:38:39,883 --> 02:38:42,385
she'd have to leave
the United States illegally,
2600
02:38:42,386 --> 02:38:45,721
then live in exile with you,
and never go home again.
2601
02:38:45,722 --> 02:38:49,100
All for the sake of a revolution
she was never any part of.
2602
02:38:49,101 --> 02:38:51,560
Why should she?
2603
02:38:51,561 --> 02:38:54,105
You Chose the life of a revolutionary.
2604
02:38:54,106 --> 02:38:56,357
She didn't.
2605
02:38:56,358 --> 02:39:01,070
Your cables only focus the
Justice Department's attention on her,
2606
02:39:01,071 --> 02:39:03,739
and the most seditious thing
they can accuse her of
2607
02:39:03,740 --> 02:39:06,409
is being your wife.
2608
02:39:06,410 --> 02:39:08,619
Leave her alone.
2609
02:39:08,620 --> 02:39:11,622
Let her choose her own future.
2610
02:39:11,623 --> 02:39:13,874
Why hasn't she answered me?
2611
02:39:13,875 --> 02:39:18,875
I think she has answered you.
2612
02:41:32,055 --> 02:41:37,055
He's been released.
They won't tell me where he is.
2613
02:41:57,539 --> 02:42:00,916
Do you know, she was much hated
2614
02:42:00,917 --> 02:42:03,210
for her extra vagance in clothes.
2615
02:42:03,211 --> 02:42:08,211
Well, a long time ago,
somebody said to me,
2616
02:42:08,967 --> 02:42:10,092
"People who..."
2617
02:42:10,093 --> 02:42:13,387
"Women whose lives
have been in danger"
2618
02:42:13,388 --> 02:42:17,349
"over a long period
are always the most extravagant."
2619
02:42:17,350 --> 02:42:20,227
Comrades, as wrong-headed
as many of its policies are,
2620
02:42:20,228 --> 02:42:22,730
the IWW is a revolutionary union
2621
02:42:22,731 --> 02:42:24,815
and the American Federation of Labour
is not.
2622
02:42:24,816 --> 02:42:27,943
To think we can infiltrate
the American Federation of Labour
2623
02:42:27,944 --> 02:42:30,279
and convert it
to revolutionary policies is hopeless.
2624
02:42:30,280 --> 02:42:34,325
Translation.
2625
02:42:34,326 --> 02:42:39,326
Comrades, that's the wrong translation.
2626
02:42:44,628 --> 02:42:47,004
That's not what he said.
2627
02:42:47,005 --> 02:42:48,672
What's he saying?
2628
02:42:48,673 --> 02:42:50,841
For us to make a point
on the floor of the Congress,
2629
02:42:50,842 --> 02:42:52,509
we have to go
2630
02:42:52,510 --> 02:42:55,346
from our own English language
into the official German language
2631
02:42:55,347 --> 02:42:58,098
to the Italian, or Spanish,
or French language.
2632
02:42:58,099 --> 02:43:01,977
- And then, when the response from...
- What is your question, please?
2633
02:43:01,978 --> 02:43:04,480
Simply for the labour union issue,
2634
02:43:04,481 --> 02:43:06,982
could we have the English language
as an official language
2635
02:43:06,983 --> 02:43:11,320
on the floor of the Congress?
2636
02:43:11,321 --> 02:43:14,657
Comrade Reed, this is the third time
you have raised this proposal!
2637
02:43:14,658 --> 02:43:15,866
The issue has been decided.
2638
02:43:15,867 --> 02:43:20,867
We must move on
to the national and colonial issues!
2639
02:43:22,874 --> 02:43:25,709
Real revolutionary workers
in the United States
2640
02:43:25,710 --> 02:43:29,004
quit the AF of L a long time ago
2641
02:43:29,005 --> 02:43:31,131
and joined the IWW.
2642
02:43:31,132 --> 02:43:33,467
We have to make
the Russians understand this,
2643
02:43:33,468 --> 02:43:36,303
and that's why we want your support
2644
02:43:36,304 --> 02:43:41,304
to extend the session of Congress
and to keep the debate open.
2645
02:43:52,320 --> 02:43:53,862
Jack, are you okay?
2646
02:43:53,863 --> 02:43:55,698
- Did you talk to Sadoul?
- Yes, I did.
2647
02:43:55,699 --> 02:43:59,201
Comrades, I'm still opposed to closing
the discussion here.
2648
02:43:59,202 --> 02:44:01,704
I think that this discussion
is being closed
2649
02:44:01,705 --> 02:44:05,040
to avoid hearing the American
and the British delegations.
2650
02:44:05,041 --> 02:44:07,376
And if for no other reason than that,
2651
02:44:07,377 --> 02:44:09,503
it shows that discussion
should continue.
2652
02:44:09,504 --> 02:44:11,880
Comrade Radek
uses this sort of remark
2653
02:44:11,881 --> 02:44:14,925
in place of an argument and as a result,
he doesn't want to talk about it.
2654
02:44:14,926 --> 02:44:19,722
What Reed says is not distinguished
by excessive fear of distorting the truth.
2655
02:44:19,723 --> 02:44:22,224
He goes on day and night
and has the cheek to claim
2656
02:44:22,225 --> 02:44:24,059
that the discussion is being broken off
2657
02:44:24,060 --> 02:44:29,060
because of fear of the great might
of John Reed.
2658
02:44:43,288 --> 02:44:46,457
Comrade Reed, you may have time
to discuss it until tomorrow morning.
2659
02:44:46,458 --> 02:44:47,916
Other people do not have the time.
2660
02:44:47,917 --> 02:44:51,754
Comrade Radek, other people that
don't have the time for this discussion
2661
02:44:51,755 --> 02:44:54,923
are 101 leaders of the IWW
2662
02:44:54,924 --> 02:44:56,925
who are in jail today
in the United States
2663
02:44:56,926 --> 02:44:58,802
because of their revolutionary views.
2664
02:44:58,803 --> 02:45:01,889
And if we turn our back
on these comrades
2665
02:45:01,890 --> 02:45:05,642
out of some pipe dream to radicalise
the American Federation of Labour
2666
02:45:05,643 --> 02:45:06,935
which cannot be done, it is a disgrace.
2667
02:45:06,936 --> 02:45:09,605
We've discussed this
during six sessions of this Commission.
2668
02:45:09,606 --> 02:45:11,398
We spent whole day today discussing it,
2669
02:45:11,399 --> 02:45:16,399
and you insinuate
we are trying to dismiss the issue?
2670
02:45:19,282 --> 02:45:21,116
We haven't had enough discussion...
2671
02:45:21,117 --> 02:45:23,619
We haven't had enough discussion
for my friend here
2672
02:45:23,620 --> 02:45:27,289
to realise that Louis Fraina and I
think alike on this problem.
2673
02:45:27,290 --> 02:45:29,124
Every American on our delegation,
2674
02:45:29,125 --> 02:45:31,794
- every man on the English delegation...
- You are a member of this Committee.
2675
02:45:31,795 --> 02:45:33,462
You are not
an independent political party.
2676
02:45:33,463 --> 02:45:36,799
Comrade Zinoviev, I will not be
steamrollered by this Committee
2677
02:45:36,800 --> 02:45:39,802
that has not had
a proper education on this problem.
2678
02:45:39,803 --> 02:45:44,803
On the fact...
2679
02:45:49,145 --> 02:45:50,604
The discussion is closed.
2680
02:45:50,605 --> 02:45:53,357
However, if Comrade Reed
wishes to make a statement,
2681
02:45:53,358 --> 02:45:56,318
he will have two minutes to do so.
2682
02:45:56,319 --> 02:45:59,863
I would merely want to say that
on behalf of the American delegates,
2683
02:45:59,864 --> 02:46:02,366
that we will refuse
to vote on these theses,
2684
02:46:02,367 --> 02:46:07,367
and that I myself
will resign my seat on this Committee.
2685
02:47:11,561 --> 02:47:13,604
Jack, I think we have to face it.
2686
02:47:13,605 --> 02:47:16,857
The dream that we had
is dying in Russia.
2687
02:47:16,858 --> 02:47:19,401
If Bolshevism means
the peasants taking the land,
2688
02:47:19,402 --> 02:47:20,903
the workers taking the factories,
2689
02:47:20,904 --> 02:47:24,406
Russia's one place
where there's no Bolshevism.
2690
02:47:24,407 --> 02:47:28,035
You know, I can argue with cops,
I can fight with generals.
2691
02:47:28,036 --> 02:47:30,078
I can't deal with a bureaucrat.
2692
02:47:30,079 --> 02:47:33,248
You think Zinoviev is nothing worse
than a bureaucrat?
2693
02:47:33,249 --> 02:47:35,417
The Soviets have no more
local autonomy.
2694
02:47:35,418 --> 02:47:37,211
The central state has all the power.
2695
02:47:37,212 --> 02:47:39,046
All the power
is in the hands of a few men
2696
02:47:39,047 --> 02:47:40,756
and they are destroying the revolution.
2697
02:47:40,757 --> 02:47:44,134
They are destroying any hope
of real Communism in Russia.
2698
02:47:44,135 --> 02:47:46,803
They're putting people like me in jail.
2699
02:47:46,804 --> 02:47:48,972
My understanding of revolution
2700
02:47:48,973 --> 02:47:52,226
is not a continual extermination
of political dissenters,
2701
02:47:52,227 --> 02:47:54,811
and I want no part of it.
2702
02:47:54,812 --> 02:47:57,105
Every single newspaper's
been shut down
2703
02:47:57,106 --> 02:47:58,607
or taken over by the party.
2704
02:47:58,608 --> 02:48:01,735
Anyone even vaguely suspected
of being a counter-revolutionary
2705
02:48:01,736 --> 02:48:05,280
can be taken out and shot
without a trial. Where does that end?
2706
02:48:05,281 --> 02:48:07,741
Is any nightmare justifiable
2707
02:48:07,742 --> 02:48:10,744
in the name of defence
against counter-revolution?
2708
02:48:10,745 --> 02:48:12,746
The dream may be dying in Russia,
but I'm not.
2709
02:48:12,747 --> 02:48:15,457
It may take some time. I'm getting out.
2710
02:48:15,458 --> 02:48:18,335
You sound like you're a little Confused
by the revolution in action, E.G.
2711
02:48:18,336 --> 02:48:20,754
Up to now,
you've only dealt with it in theory.
2712
02:48:20,755 --> 02:48:22,130
What did you think
this thing was gonna be?
2713
02:48:22,131 --> 02:48:23,674
A revolution by consensus
2714
02:48:23,675 --> 02:48:26,260
where we all sat down
and agreed over a cup of coffee?
2715
02:48:26,261 --> 02:48:28,470
Nothing works.
2716
02:48:28,471 --> 02:48:30,639
Four million people died last year.
2717
02:48:30,640 --> 02:48:31,932
Not from fighting a war,
2718
02:48:31,933 --> 02:48:34,851
they died from starvation and typhus
in a militaristic police state
2719
02:48:34,852 --> 02:48:36,478
that suppresses
freedom and human rights
2720
02:48:36,479 --> 02:48:37,771
where nothing works.
2721
02:48:37,772 --> 02:48:40,357
They died because of a
French, British and American blockade
2722
02:48:40,358 --> 02:48:42,818
that cut off
all food and medical supplies
2723
02:48:42,819 --> 02:48:45,028
and because counter-revolutionaries
have sabotaged the factories
2724
02:48:45,029 --> 02:48:48,115
and the rail roads and the telephones,
and because the people,
2725
02:48:48,116 --> 02:48:50,951
the poor, ignorant,
superstitious, illiterate people,
2726
02:48:50,952 --> 02:48:54,288
are trying to run things themselves,
just as you always said that they should,
2727
02:48:54,289 --> 02:48:55,497
but they don't know
how to run them yet.
2728
02:48:55,498 --> 02:48:57,666
Did you really think things would work
right away?
2729
02:48:57,667 --> 02:48:59,876
Did you really expect
social transformation
2730
02:48:59,877 --> 02:49:02,170
to be anything other than
a murderous process?
2731
02:49:02,171 --> 02:49:05,173
It's a war, E.G.,
and we gotta fight it like we fight a war,
2732
02:49:05,174 --> 02:49:07,342
with discipline,
with terror, with firing squads,
2733
02:49:07,343 --> 02:49:09,469
or we just give it up.
2734
02:49:09,470 --> 02:49:11,972
Those four million people
didn't die fighting a war.
2735
02:49:11,973 --> 02:49:16,973
They died from a system
that cannot work!
2736
02:49:23,693 --> 02:49:26,361
It's just the beginning, E.G.
2737
02:49:26,362 --> 02:49:29,197
It's not happening
the way we thought it would.
2738
02:49:29,198 --> 02:49:30,991
It's not happening
the way we wanted it to,
2739
02:49:30,992 --> 02:49:35,992
but it's happening.
2740
02:49:37,040 --> 02:49:39,374
If you walk out on it now,
2741
02:49:39,375 --> 02:49:44,375
what's your whole life meant?
2742
02:49:46,049 --> 02:49:49,009
Could you tell me if my resignation
is ready for signature yet?
2743
02:49:49,010 --> 02:49:50,344
- It is.
- Good.
2744
02:49:50,345 --> 02:49:53,055
May I see it?
2745
02:49:53,056 --> 02:49:58,056
Thank you.
2746
02:50:00,730 --> 02:50:03,523
- Thank you, Comrade Reed.
- Welcome back, Comrade Reed.
2747
02:50:03,524 --> 02:50:06,026
Now you'll be able to represent
the American workers
2748
02:50:06,027 --> 02:50:07,444
at the forthcoming Congress at Baku
2749
02:50:07,445 --> 02:50:11,114
to inspire revolution among the peoples
of the Middle East.
2750
02:50:11,115 --> 02:50:12,240
Prepare for a difficult trip.
2751
02:50:12,241 --> 02:50:17,241
Our only route
is through divided territory.
2752
02:50:55,118 --> 02:50:58,829
Some of these intellectuals
spread rumours
2753
02:50:58,830 --> 02:51:01,623
that he changed his mind afterwards,
2754
02:51:01,624 --> 02:51:06,624
trying to, you know,
2755
02:51:06,754 --> 02:51:11,174
show that he came to his senses.
2756
02:51:11,175 --> 02:51:13,844
It's preposterous.
2757
02:51:13,845 --> 02:51:18,306
These men, well,
I don't even remember them.
2758
02:51:18,307 --> 02:51:23,307
I don't want to remember them.
2759
02:54:17,528 --> 02:54:20,488
All trains to Baku cancelled
because of attacks
2760
02:54:20,489 --> 02:54:21,823
by counter-revolutionaries.
2761
02:54:21,824 --> 02:54:25,160
There must be some train to Baku.
2762
02:54:25,161 --> 02:54:26,786
All trains to Baku cancelled
2763
02:54:26,787 --> 02:54:30,123
because of attacks
by counter-revolutionaries.
2764
02:54:30,124 --> 02:54:34,794
There has to be something to Baku.
2765
02:54:34,795 --> 02:54:35,295
Louise?
2766
02:54:39,634 --> 02:54:41,217
Emma?
2767
02:54:41,218 --> 02:54:43,386
Emma.
2768
02:54:43,387 --> 02:54:46,723
Emma.
2769
02:54:46,724 --> 02:54:51,724
How in the name of God
did you get into Russia?
2770
02:54:52,188 --> 02:54:56,191
- I had no idea how long it would take.
- So, you'll wait for a while.
2771
02:54:56,192 --> 02:54:59,694
By the time you got there,
he'd be back here anyway.
2772
02:54:59,695 --> 02:55:01,321
Go on in. Go on in.
2773
02:55:01,322 --> 02:55:03,031
Oh, I'm sorry.
2774
02:55:03,032 --> 02:55:08,032
It's all right. It's all right.
2775
02:55:10,581 --> 02:55:15,581
Here. Louise, sit down. Sit down.
2776
02:55:23,761 --> 02:55:28,014
I want to tell you something.
2777
02:55:28,015 --> 02:55:33,015
It's late, I know.
2778
02:55:34,271 --> 02:55:37,273
I want to thank you for that scarf.
2779
02:55:37,274 --> 02:55:39,734
Oh, yes.
2780
02:55:39,735 --> 02:55:42,404
I was wrong about you.
2781
02:55:42,405 --> 02:55:46,074
So was I.
2782
02:55:46,075 --> 02:55:48,743
The American oil companies
are trying to establish
2783
02:55:48,744 --> 02:55:53,123
a world monopoly of oil.
2784
02:55:53,124 --> 02:55:58,124
In 1898, the Filipinos rebelled against
the cruel colonial government of Spain.
2785
02:56:01,382 --> 02:56:06,382
But after the Spaniards
had been driven out...
2786
02:56:22,445 --> 02:56:25,947
The Americans have promised
the Filipinos independence.
2787
02:56:25,948 --> 02:56:30,948
Soon an independent Filipino republic
will be proclaimed.
2788
02:56:33,956 --> 02:56:38,956
The government of United States
sent soldiers and sailors there...
2789
02:56:40,463 --> 02:56:45,463
under a dictatorship
worse than the British tyrants.
2790
02:56:52,933 --> 02:56:54,434
What's that for?
2791
02:56:54,435 --> 02:56:56,978
They are Supporting you
for your call for a holy war
2792
02:56:56,979 --> 02:57:01,979
of Islamic people against
the western infidels.
2793
02:57:20,961 --> 02:57:22,504
Excuse me, Comrade Reed.
2794
02:57:22,505 --> 02:57:25,340
They said you are not happy
with the translations of your speech.
2795
02:57:25,341 --> 02:57:26,841
I did the German into Turkic
2796
02:57:26,842 --> 02:57:29,177
and Comrade Ossinsky
did the Russian into German.
2797
02:57:29,178 --> 02:57:31,846
Russian?
2798
02:57:31,847 --> 02:57:33,556
Who turned it into Russian
in the first place?
2799
02:57:33,557 --> 02:57:35,141
Well, I don't know.
2800
02:57:35,142 --> 02:57:36,976
They were already in Russian
when we got them
2801
02:57:36,977 --> 02:57:40,814
from the office of Comrade Zinoviev.
2802
02:57:40,815 --> 02:57:45,815
- I'm sorry for my English.
- Your English is fine, Comrade.
2803
02:57:50,199 --> 02:57:54,327
Zinoviev, did you do
the translations of my speech?
2804
02:57:54,328 --> 02:57:56,162
I supervised it. Yes.
2805
02:57:56,163 --> 02:57:59,040
I didn't say "holy war."
I said "class war."
2806
02:57:59,041 --> 02:58:01,835
I took a liberty
of altering a phrase or two.
2807
02:58:01,836 --> 02:58:05,588
Yes, well, I don't allow people
to take those liberties with what I write.
2808
02:58:05,589 --> 02:58:08,716
Aren't you propagandist enough
to utilise what moves people most?
2809
02:58:08,717 --> 02:58:11,261
I'm propagandist enough
to utilise the truth.
2810
02:58:11,262 --> 02:58:15,014
And who defines this truth?
You or the party?
2811
02:58:15,015 --> 02:58:16,391
Is your life dedicated to speaking for...
2812
02:58:16,392 --> 02:58:18,685
You don't talk about what
my life is dedicated to!
2813
02:58:18,686 --> 02:58:21,354
Your life? You haven't resolved
what your life is dedicated to.
2814
02:58:21,355 --> 02:58:24,399
You see yourself as an artist
and at the same time as a revolutionary.
2815
02:58:24,400 --> 02:58:27,235
As a lover to your wife, but also as a
spokesman for the American Classes.
2816
02:58:27,236 --> 02:58:29,195
Zinoviev, you don't think
a man can be an individual
2817
02:58:29,196 --> 02:58:30,738
and be true to the Collective,
2818
02:58:30,739 --> 02:58:34,242
or speak for his own country
and the International at the same time,
2819
02:58:34,243 --> 02:58:37,412
or love his wife
and still be faithful to the revolution,
2820
02:58:37,413 --> 02:58:38,621
you don't have a self to give!
2821
02:58:38,622 --> 02:58:40,582
Would you ever be willing
to give yourself to this revolution?
2822
02:58:40,583 --> 02:58:42,542
When you separate a man
from what he loves the most,
2823
02:58:42,543 --> 02:58:45,086
what you do is purge
what's unique in him.
2824
02:58:45,087 --> 02:58:47,255
And when you purge
what's unique in him,
2825
02:58:47,256 --> 02:58:49,257
- you purge dissent.
- Comrade Reed.
2826
02:58:49,258 --> 02:58:51,801
And when you purge dissent,
you kill the revolution!
2827
02:58:51,802 --> 02:58:53,386
Revolution is dissent!
2828
02:58:53,387 --> 02:58:58,387
- Comrade Reed.
- You don't rewrite what I write!
2829
02:59:03,063 --> 02:59:06,107
Comrade Reed, counter-revolutionaries!
2830
02:59:06,108 --> 02:59:11,108
Counter-revolutionaries,
Comrade Reed!
2831
03:01:42,598 --> 03:01:43,098
Papa!
2832
03:01:46,602 --> 03:01:47,102
Papa!
2833
03:03:59,568 --> 03:04:03,905
Don't leave me.
2834
03:04:03,906 --> 03:04:08,906
Please don't leave me.
2835
03:04:20,589 --> 03:04:25,589
Comrade, the doctor
would like to see you now.
2836
03:04:39,441 --> 03:04:42,485
The doctor thinks
that we must do more analysis.
2837
03:04:42,486 --> 03:04:45,613
And a picture of his illness
will be clearer in a few days.
2838
03:04:45,614 --> 03:04:46,989
And he wants you to know
2839
03:04:46,990 --> 03:04:49,784
that we shall do the best conditions
for Comrade Reed
2840
03:04:49,785 --> 03:04:52,286
to prevent possibility
of high blood pressure
2841
03:04:52,287 --> 03:04:57,287
to cause a stroke.
2842
03:05:08,387 --> 03:05:12,848
I really... I know...
2843
03:05:12,849 --> 03:05:15,309
What?
2844
03:05:15,310 --> 03:05:20,310
How are you?
2845
03:05:21,066 --> 03:05:22,650
No.
2846
03:05:22,651 --> 03:05:23,151
Jack?
2847
03:05:47,676 --> 03:05:52,676
You know, I don't... I don't...
2848
03:06:00,606 --> 03:06:02,857
You hear it?
2849
03:06:02,858 --> 03:06:05,359
- Huh?
- What was that?
2850
03:06:05,360 --> 03:06:10,360
The water plays little songs.
2851
03:06:24,546 --> 03:06:29,546
It's not December, is it?
2852
03:06:45,901 --> 03:06:50,901
My, my, my!
2853
03:06:59,748 --> 03:07:04,748
God. What a time it was, huh?
2854
03:07:18,767 --> 03:07:21,435
- Want to come to New York with me?
- New York?
2855
03:07:21,436 --> 03:07:26,023
I got a taxi waiting.
2856
03:07:26,024 --> 03:07:30,277
I wouldn't mind.
2857
03:07:30,278 --> 03:07:32,947
What as?
2858
03:07:32,948 --> 03:07:36,117
What as?
2859
03:07:36,118 --> 03:07:39,787
What as?
2860
03:07:39,788 --> 03:07:44,788
Gee, I don't know.
2861
03:07:49,715 --> 03:07:50,327
Comrades?
2862
03:07:57,180 --> 03:07:57,792
Comrades.
2863
03:08:03,979 --> 03:08:08,979
Well, I want to go home.
2864
03:08:11,528 --> 03:08:12,028
Yeah.
2865
03:08:51,818 --> 03:08:56,818
I'll get you some water.
2866
03:10:36,923 --> 03:10:37,467
Oh, God.
2867
03:12:04,594 --> 03:12:06,470
It was in the afternoon,
2868
03:12:06,471 --> 03:12:09,932
sometime in the fall, I think.
2869
03:12:09,933 --> 03:12:12,393
October, I think.
2870
03:12:12,394 --> 03:12:14,979
Somebody came to tell me
2871
03:12:14,980 --> 03:12:17,189
that Jack Reed died.
2872
03:12:17,190 --> 03:12:22,190
You can imagine how...
2873
03:12:23,405 --> 03:12:28,405
How I felt.
2874
03:12:28,660 --> 03:12:30,911
I 'd forgotten all about them.
2875
03:12:30,912 --> 03:12:34,665
Were there socialists?
2876
03:12:34,666 --> 03:12:38,460
Many of them were idealists.
2877
03:12:38,461 --> 03:12:43,461
You know,
things go and come back again.
2878
03:12:43,967 --> 03:12:47,469
I don't know what the outside world
thought of them.
2879
03:12:47,470 --> 03:12:49,847
But they were a couple.
2880
03:12:49,848 --> 03:12:54,848
I mean, you always spoke
of Louise Bryant and Jack Reed.
2881
03:12:55,854 --> 03:12:59,898
He was just a man in the prime of life.
2882
03:12:59,899 --> 03:13:04,153
I don't even know.
Did they ever have any children?
2883
03:13:04,154 --> 03:13:06,905
They probably didn't have any children,
2884
03:13:06,906 --> 03:13:11,035
he and Louise.
2885
03:13:11,036 --> 03:13:14,997
Again, you can't tell,
when you have children,
2886
03:13:14,998 --> 03:13:19,998
whether they will car/y on
your re vo/utiona/y tradition or not.
2887
03:13:22,255 --> 03:13:24,506
Why did he do it?
2888
03:13:24,507 --> 03:13:27,551
Well, it's Impossible to say
2889
03:13:27,552 --> 03:13:29,094
wh y Edison in vented,
2890
03:13:29,095 --> 03:13:33,348
or why Ga//I-Curci sang...
2891
03:13:33,349 --> 03:13:38,020
He was definitely a stirrer-up of people.
2892
03:13:38,021 --> 03:13:40,939
That was his field.
2893
03:13:40,940 --> 03:13:44,860
That's what he came to do, apparently.
2894
03:13:44,861 --> 03:13:49,861
He's well-known amongst a few,
but not everybody.
2895
03:13:50,075 --> 03:13:54,161
They don't know who in heck he is.
2896
03:13:54,162 --> 03:13:59,162
I look for myself to die any day.
2897
03:14:02,420 --> 03:14:05,631
He was asked by Lenin,
"Are you an American?"
2898
03:14:05,632 --> 03:14:06,840
He said, "Yes. ".
2899
03:14:06,841 --> 03:14:10,636
And Lenin said,
"An American American?"
2900
03:14:10,637 --> 03:14:14,932
And Reed said, "Yes, ".
2901
03:14:14,933 --> 03:14:19,436
Of course,
nobody goes with the idea of dying.
2902
03:14:19,437 --> 03:14:24,399
E ven/body wants to live.
2903
03:14:24,400 --> 03:14:27,986
I don't remember his exact words,
2904
03:14:27,987 --> 03:14:30,948
but the meaning was
2905
03:14:30,949 --> 03:14:35,949
that grand things are ahead,
2906
03:14:37,247 --> 03:14:42,042
worth living and worth dying for.
2907
03:14:42,043 --> 03:14:47,043
He himself said that.
2908
03:15:00,444 --> 03:15:28,944
