Steve, see, there's an odd-looking character over there.

And over here to the right, that chap over there.

That colored gentleman with the girl. See those girls? You know them?

No.

Why don't you just, you know, unobtrusively...

Find out who they are, how they got here...

Who invited them and tell me.

Sure thing.

Hi. I'm Steve Wright.

Well, enjoy the party.

Don't even suck on it if you don't wanna burn your lips.

- Now? - Now start puffing on it.

- There, see? - Sheila?

Just a minute.

Just a minute!

- What's taking you so long, love? - I'm getting dressed.

Sweetheart, people are here to see you.

Will you relax, daddy?

- They're dressing. - Open the door!

- I'm taking care of it. - I can see you are.

- Sheila? - Yes?

There's no excuse for this performance.

- Mr. berger? - You can call me George...

It's a private party. I think you and your friends better leave.

- You do? - Yes, I think that's the thing to do.

Everybody please quiet down.

- Mr. berger, I think that you... - I wanna say a few words, then go.

- I don't care. - Everybody, listen.

- We weren't invited. - Mr. berger, I think the time...

- I just wanna talk for a second. - I don't care.

- I know you don't care. - You better leave.

Just give me two minutes. All right?

- No. - Please.

- No, Mr. berger, you better go. - Please.

I'm losing my Patience. This is a private party. You weren't invited.

You don't understand what this man will be doing.

- I don't wanna hear! - You should hear!

- You know what he's doing? - No!

- He's gonna be fighting for you! - I want you to leave.

He's going to Vietnam to fight to save your life!

- To save your life! You should care! - I want you out!

If you want me out, you'll have to throw me out.

That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

I'm not gonna muss myself up fussing with you.

I'll get the police if I have to.

- That's exactly what I'm gonna do. - Okay.

Penguin.

Now, my friend Claude is in love. He saw this chick on a horse...

- Excuse me. - Oh, Jesus.

- Let's deal with this as gentlemen. - Okay.

- Quietly, as gentlemen. - Good.

May I give you a word of advice?

Get your ass out of here, now.

- Is that it? - That's it.

Thank you. Now, listen.

Claude here is in love. The girl he's in love with is in this room.

He just wants to sit here and look at her for about five minutes.

He wants to have a picture in his head...

When he's off fighting in the jungles.

Is that so much to ask?

This is for you, man. Wait a minute. This is what you want.

all the clouds are cumulus walking in space

oh, my god, your skin is soft I love your face

how dare they fry to end this beauty

how dare they try

to end this beauty

to keep us underfoot they bury us in soot

pretending it's our chore to ship us off to war

in this dive we rediscover sensation

in this dive we rediscover sensation

walking in space we find the purpose of peace

the beauty of life

you can no longer hide

our eyes are open our eyes are open

Hey, berger! Berger!

- Hey, how you doing? - I'm all right.

Look, I've got something.

Where is he?

Nevada.

So I was thinking of writing him. What do you think I should say?

I want to say something.

You're gonna write him? Why don't you come with us?

- Where are you going? - Nevada.

We are?

- Aren't you serious about anything? - I'm always serious.

- When are we gonna go? - As soon as Sheila's ready.

I can't just take off and go to Nevada.

No, I guess not. We'll see you.

Well, wait a minute.

- How are you gonna get there? - Car.

- You don't have a car. - I'm gonna get a car.

- Lafayette! - How? How can you get a car?

What are you staring at?

And who's that?

What are you doing here? Come on.

- I said come with me! - I heard you.

I'm asking you, who is that woman?

Are you a friend of my Lafayette?

I ain't Lafayette no more. Don't be bothering her.

- What have you done to your head? - Never mind. Just go on back home.

Is that his child?

- I told you, don't be talking to her. - Is that your child?

You wouldn't understand.

What do you mean? Is that your child or not?

What kind of question is that? Maybe it is and maybe it isn't.

What?

See, you don't understand anything.

I understand fine. You explain it fo me.

Do you understand cosmic consciousness? That's what I'm talking about.

All I'm talking about is Lafayette Jr. here is your child...

And I want to know if that's your child too.

- Never mind all that. Come on. - Where are we going?

- The bus. You're going home. - I don't wanna go home.

You're going back home, understand me?

- I want to stay with you. - You can't.

- Why not? - You can't, that's why. I said so!

We got a friend in trouble, and we have to help him.

That's all you need to know, so why don't you just go home?

You can help your friends, Lafayette...

Goddamn it, woman, I ain't no Lafayette!

Shit! Don't you understand nothing?

How can people

be so heartless?

How can people

be so cruel?

Easy to be hard

easy to be cold

how can people

have no feelings?

You know I'm hung up on you

easy to be proud

easy to say no

especially people

who care about strangers

who care about evil

and social injustice

do you only care about the bleeding crowd?

How about a needing friend?

I need a friend

how can people

be so heartless?

How can they ignore their friends?

Easy to give in

easy to help out

especially people

who care about strangers

Hi, Steve.

- Wanna come out for a minute? - No.

- I just want to talk to you. - You want to talk, talk.

I'd like to talk to you outside.

I don't wanna talk to you.

Don't worry about a thing. I'll handle this.

Okay, what do you want?

- The keys. - No.

- Come on, what...? - Cool out, baby.

- You're taking the car? - Just for a few days. Coming with us?

- No. - All right.

Sheila, come on, out of the car.

What...? Sheilal

I'm not into any heavy preference trip, like who the father is.

I don't care. I think they're both beautiful, don't you?

But how can you not care about something like that?

If a woman carries a child, she should know who the father is.

I admit that I have this dilemma, but it'll be resolved real soon.

It's not a big crisis. It's not a world war.

I don't know what you're so uptight about.

I fell in love. We had a child, and we were gonna get married.

That's why I'm uptight. And you're holding it up!

No, I'm not holding it up. You don't see the way it is.

This is a great thing to all of us. Everybody's really happy about it.

And I think it would be great if you could be happy about it too.

You're crazy.

I'm crazy. We're all crazy. Let's shake on it.

Let's not.

Come on!

If all you men could be standing where I'm standing...

And seeing what I'm seeing...

You'd know how it feels to be truly proud of our country.

The United States army is the greatest fighting force in the world.

And now you men are going to be thousands of miles...

Away from home in a few days...

And you'd better take some of that greatness with you.

And today, while you're on leave...

You'd better take some of it with you too.

- How can I help? - We're going in.

There are no civilians allowed right now. We've had an alert.

We're not civilians. We have a friend on the base.

- His name's Claude. Know him? - I don't know him.

I don't know him, but you'll still have to turn around...

And go off post. If you need help, I'll assist you.

- Otherwise, turn around. - We don't want to make trouble...

- Turn around and you won't. - Let me make a call.

Not here. You make it where I tell you to go.

You said you wanted to give me assistance.

I'll help you turn around. That's all.

- You don't understand... - This is it. Turn around and go.

We clear? You get my drift? Turn around and go.

- You don't understand! - No, you don't understand.

- Listen... - I just want to see my friend!

Get the hell off my post. Turn your vehicle around and leave.

You listen to me, I don't listen to you.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

What's your name?

- What's your name? - George.

- What's yours? - Sheila.

Where's your husband? On base?

I'm not married. I'm visiting my brother.

Wait, wait, wait. Okay, this time I'm gonna do it.

Hey, that was a really good one! Let me do that again.

I'll blow one and then you blow one, and see if they can, you know.

You blow one through one of mine.

- There they did it. - There they did it.

- Where is it? Where's your car? - Right over there.

God almighty.

Hey, let's pull over there.

Stop. Let's stop here. Company, halt!

The base is on alert. They take headcounts all the time.

If I'm not here, I've had it.

- It's just for a couple of hours. - I can't.

What do you mean you can't?

We drove 2000 miles to see you. Everybody's waiting.

Just trust me. I got it all figured out.

- I's not like I don't want to come. - Then come. Get in the trunk.

I mean...

I can't believe you're here.

I can't believe it. Traveling all that way?

I can't believe it!

I appreciate your coming here.

I can't tell you...

Don't tell me, just come with us. Get in the trunk.

You don't understand. This isn't a game.

What am I gonna tell everybody?

I just received word. We've been alerted for overseas movement.

Secure your gear, get your bags packed and get on this red line.

You have three minutes to get ready. Let's go, men. Move with a purpose.

Move, move!

Get your pistol belts and helmets!

Let's go, move with a purpose.

Snap to it like you got a pair. Quickly.

Get on the red line. Get packed. Let's go.

What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear the captain?

Get your helmet liner, your pistol belt!

Right now! Move with a purpose! Get the coat on!

Quickly! Move it! You act like you don't want to go.

I don't wanna go, but if you gotta go, I gotta go. We all gotta go.

Quickly, let's get on the red line.

Let's go!

What are you waiting on? Get that gear on!

I want that helmet on! I want that bag on the line!

Soldier, there's a war on!

Command says move, hurry up!

Now, listen up!

When I call your name, sound off smartly and move out!

Compos. Sumner.

Pierce. Brooke. Bukowski.

Bukowski.

Bukowski! Get your head out of your ass!

Let's go! This way, soldier! Let's go, move out!

You better move, soldier!

Where are you going?

Put your duffle bag on that truck! Right there!

Get it on there now!

We starve and look

at one another short of breath

walking proudly in our winter coats

wearing smells from laboratories

facing a dying nation

of moving paper fantasies

listening for the new-told lies

with supreme visions of lonely tunes

somewhere

inside something there is a rush of greatness

who knows what stands in front of our lives

I fashion my future on films in space

silence tells me secretly

everything

everything

Manchester, england

england

Manchester, england, england

across the Atlantic seq

and I'm a genius, genius

I believe in god

and I believe that god believes in Claude

that's me, that's me

that's me

we starve look, at one another

berger!

Walking proudly in our winter coats

wearing smells from laboratories

of moving paper fantasies

listening for the new-told lies

with supreme visions of lonely tunes

singing our space songs

on a spider web sitar
