(♪ Rock music)

It's a Sunday, God's day.

How should you be spending this time?

In honoring your creator, that's how,

in doing his work,

not lying on your backs and dosing yourselves,

spoiling the body he gave you with pot, acid and worse,

wasting your hours with music fit only for copulation.

This lazy life is fine,

but how are you prepared for eternity?

(Continues, indistinct)

(Thinking) 'I wonder if that's how I look to my students,

'an outdated, unchanging relic of another time,

'standing up on a soapbox, preaching to them.

'What would have happened, I wonder, if I'd just put away the soapbox, and...

"and sat down and talked to them, like a friend.'

Uh-oh, here comes the father.

Looks like we're in for more of that religious crap.

Put it out.

I really don't know where to begin, because...

you've broken nearly every rule I can think of.

To start with, all four of you skipped classes today.

And I can still smell it.

I mean, you're not fooling anybody.

Sir.

Is this a bribe?

Look, I know what you people think, but it's...

it's no real fun for me to hop on you all the time.

And I'm not the one who has something to lose,

because I already have my high school diploma.

I have a college diploma.

That little piece of paper is going to mean a great deal to you someday.

You may not realize it right now, but it will.

I don't know what to tell you about the medical aspects of it.

And I know you've all got good minds.

That's the waste of the whole thing. Why would you want to ruin your mind?

Well...

Thanks for the Coke.

And I wanna see all of you in the classroom tomorrow.

- (Girl 1) 1 dug what you just did, man. - (Girl 2) What do you mean?

- (Girl 1) I saw you drop acid in his Coke. - (Girl 2) Yeah, he's really gonna fly.

You look tired. Did you have to wait a long time?

Yeah, I am tired.

And I have been waiting quite a while.

Where are you going?

- LA?

It must be your lucky day, because that's where I'm going.

Yeah, I hope it's my lucky day.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, the last guy I got a ride with was going to LA, too.

It's still two days from here, and uh...

he wanted me to spend the evening in his motel room.

I just wanted to sleep in the car. I didn't have any money or anything.

So here I am, in the middle of nowhere.

And I just don't want it to happen again.

I haven't been staying in a motel.

I've just been finding a good place beside the road

and camping out with a sleeping bag.

And I have an extra one, if you want it.

Did you get a good night's sleep?

Yes, I did. Thanks.

Listen, I've been thinking about your traveling across the country.

Sounds pretty dangerous. I mean...

I don't think I'd want to do it by myself.

Yeah, it can get kinda hairy at times.

Years ago, this, uh... old man picked me up.

We were driving along, talking and laughing.

We were really having a good time.

He had this real old pickup truck, and, uh...

we had a flat tire, so we hopped out and started to fix it.

Bunch of other cars came by

and I could have gotten a ride with somebody else, but I don't know.

We'd just been having such a cool time, I decided to stick with him.

After we got it fixed, we decided to take one of those little side roads

up to the hills and just look at the valley.

When we got up there,

I couldn't believe what a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde he turned into.

He just started attacking me.

Didn't you try to defend yourself?

Sure, I defended myself.

I kicked and I screamed and I did what I could,

considering he had a knife on me.

And he raped me.

Oh, wow, you know...

Now I can understand why you were so uptight

when I picked you up yesterday.

Yeah. Mm...

Then I had to worry about being pregnant.

And, wow...

What would I do with a col...

What? I couldn't hear you.

A couple of years ago...

I was on a real bummer.

And I just wonder why I still trip.

I felt like everything was there for me to try at least once.

One night, this guy and I thought it'd be really kicky to go out to the graveyard and trip.

It was so beautiful.

We lay there by the moon.

All different colors.

And the grass was so fine.

Our heads were really together, and I just...

trusted him so much.

I rolled over to tell him something.

And he wasn't there.

Then I called for him and he didn't answer.

'And I was really hallucinating now.

'I started looking behind gravestones for him.

'Everywhere.

'I just couldn't believe it.

'It was my first trip.

'I was really peaking.

'And he just left me.

"And I couldn't hear. Everything was getting in my way.

'All I could hear was crickets or leaves.

'I wanted it to be quiet so I could hear.

'And I screamed for him.

'And I just screamed and screamed and screamed.

'And he never answered.

'So I started clawing. Crazy dead people!

'I clawed and clawed.

'I had to get in there to see if he was there.

'I had to get out of there, so I started running.

'For anything, for anywhere.

'I was only 15 years old.

'My first trip.'

And I just...

trusted him so much.

Oh, God, what a bummer!

(I Rock music plays)

Hey, man, uh... I'm really sorry if I bummed you out last night.

It was really a bad trip.

No, you didn't really bum me out, |I...

I have been thinking about it a lot, though, because...

I don't know, it keeps going around in my head.

I guess primarily because I had kind of a similar experience one time.

When you're dealing with people,

it's really more of a bummer sometimes than it is with drugs.

Not so far as the acid thing is concerned, I mean...

any acid trip, even a good one, IS a bum trip so far as I'm concerned.

(Whimpering)

Hey, you want a ride?

Are you alright?

There's something wrong with her.

(Whimpering)

Honey, what's wrong?

Oh, God, John, she's gonna have a baby.

Come on.

Easy. Easy.

Oh.

There's no hospital around here. What are we going to do with her?

I heard there is a doctor living in a truck

just a couple of miles from here.

Will you take me there, please?

Hey, can you guys help us? We have a girl here who's gonna have a baby.

Sure.

Hey man, we need some help.

(Indistinct chattering)

Come on.

Easy now. Easy.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Easy now. Easy.

Move that stuff out the way.

Easy now. Easy. Come on, lay down.

Come on now, just relax. Just relax, you're gonna be OK.

Just relax now, I'm a doctor.

It's gonna be very easy. You're gonna have a beautiful baby.

Just relax now. It's not gonna hurt.

Just relax, take it easy.

We gotta get these pants off first.

- (Whimpers) - Come on. Relax. Relax now.

There we go.

OK? Alright, now, here's what...

Somebody get me a knife and heat the blade up.

Relax, relax. Now, put your hands right up here.

That's nice. Can you feel it?

Now, that's what I want you to do now.

Listen closely now. Just relax.

When you feel it coming, just take a deep breath and push.

A deep breath.

Every time you feel it, just take a deep breath and push. Relax now.

Come on, take a deep breath.

Breathe in, breathe out.

In, out.

And when you feel it, you just push.

Relax. Everything's gonna be OK.

You wait till you see this baby. It's gonna be beautiful.

Just relax now. Come on. Are you ready?

Ready? Come on.

Take a deep breath.

OK now push. Push, push.

That's a girl. Relax now, relax.

(Whispers) Come on, now. Come on, now.

Come on, now. Come on, now.

Alright?

- Push! - (Screams)

Just relax now. Everything's OK. Don't worry about it.

It's coming along just fine.

(Whimpering)

(Panting)

(Screams)

OK, push now. Push! Push! Push!

Push! Come on, it's coming. Just relax now. Push!

Push!

Come on!

(Screams)

Isn't he a beautiful baby?

You have a beautiful little boy.

(Smack, baby crying)

(Laughing)

Wow, man! Hey, look, uh...

The baby's gonna need a little wiping down.

- Think you can handle it? - Oh, sure, I'd love to help.

Good girl.

That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my whole life.

There's nothing to it, man.

You know, childbirth is the most natural thing in the world.

I'm just glad you were here, because if you hadn't been...

I'm sure she'd have died and the baby too.

Oh, man, you know, she's gonna be just fine.

Don't worry about it.

Actually, I just now realized that I don't even know her name.

She was just lying beside the highway when we picked her up.

Lying beside the highway?

Well, don't worry, we'll take good care of her here.

Funny, I just... You know, you're the first hippy doctor I've ever known.

I'm not a hippy, man, I'm just getting away from it all.

You know how it is in the city with everybody rushing back and forth

and ploughing their way to the top, you know?

Everyone's in a hurry to get somewhere and they don't have time to stop

and see things around them and feel things around them, man.

I mean, they're like machines.

You know, a man could be lying in the street, dying, right now

and no one would even stop to see if they could help.

You know, man, I was afraid I might become like one of them.

Yeah, but don't you think you could do more for those people

if you were down there instead of up here?

That's a good question.

Can you believe somebody like that giving up

when there are so many people who need his help?

Right.

Go find out where his head's at.

(Girl) Hey, man, I've got to ask you a question.

What are you doing up here when there's so many people who need you?

(Doctor) Let me tell you a story.

Thirty-five of us just completed our internship.

We lived, ate and slept together.

This was in a northern city, by the way.

Anyway, guess who wasn't invited.

(John) Oh, come on, man, you're putting me on.

(Doctor) No.

And you wanna know the excuse they gave?

They said they thought I was in surgery.

But you know what?

I don't have any feeling of animosity for them,

because I understand them,

even though they don't understand me.

So, I turned down the residency.

I can dig it, man. Now, you didn't really turn it down.

You know, what they didn't seem to realize was that, uh...

I really wasn't interested in the residency.

You see, I'm really interested in cancer research.

You know, I know there's no money in it,

but I figure that maybe some of my black might rub off on one of them test tubes

and I just might get lucky.

You know, if I can find just one thing that would help that child to grow up

without some of the problems that we face,

then I'd feel I've really accomplished something in this life.

Well, if you wanted to go into cancer research,

how come you were up on the hill?

Well, I had to get my head together.

But, you know, now I... I really know where it's at.

That's why I'm going back.

You know, I just realized something. I think I'm about to starve to death.

Me too. I could really dig some food.

Why don't we stop at a restaurant?

It might be a little complicated in this part of the country.

What kind of complications, man?

I think it'd be best if you brought the food out to me.

With us, it's gonna be one way, Ed.

We're all gonna go in and we're gonna eat together

or we're gonna sit out here in the car and eat.

I wanna go in the restaurant.

Right, man, we all go in the restaurant, OK?

OK.

(Ed) OK, it's your funeral.

Might even be mine.

(Laughing)

Looks like we got ourselves a couple of hippies and a watermelon eater.

I wonder where they got the car from. They probably stole it.

But who was driving?

- The nigger, naturally. - Oh, I know they stole it, then.

Come on, let's put him in the can.

Guess it's around back here somewhere.

If you're gonna go first, make it fast, huh?

Hey, boy!

Hey, black boy, you!

Come here!

Whose car is that over there?

That's John's car.

Let me see identification.

What do you wanna see”? My honorable discharge,

my social security?

Alright, just get over there.

Hey, man, what's wrong?

You just keep your mouth shut, whitey, and stay out of this, you understand?

Hey, boy, was you through here last year?

No, this is my first time in this part of the country.

- Do you know a girl named Jenny? - No.

Look, you guys, just tell us what's wrong and leave us alone.

Why don't you tell us what you want?

(John) Hey, man, what's wrong?

You just keep your mouth shut.

You can shut up, too!

And you come with me.

Where are you taking him?

(Overlapping dialogue)

Come on, we gotta get him out on bail.

- It won't do any good with them. - I guess we can at least try.

In the name of the Father...

and the Son

and the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Si vives, ego te absolvo

in no mine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Amen.

What did you do to him?

Well, he tried to escape. He jumped out of the car.

He ran across the street and a car hit him.

You sound very sad.

Are you thinking about Ed?

Yeah, I was thinking about him.

I've never really cared what happened to a person after they died,

but with Ed I do.

Oh, it makes me so damn mad

when I think about how those cops treated him.

There must be something we can do.

Well, he did try to escape, you know.

And it's not as if they dragged him right out of the car

and tried to shoot him or something.

Yeah, that's what they tell us, but I wonder what really happened.

When you cried for Ed,

I realized that...

some men are capable of compassion.

This may really sound strange,

I mean, particularly under the circumstances, but...

if through Ed's death you've reached a new realization

that you just have to treat everybody as individuals,

then maybe it wasn't all in vain.

And as for Ed's being dead, I mean, he's not really dead.

It reminds me of something I heard one time.

When a person dies,

the physical side of him does die, but the spirit never dies.

The spirit begins an ascension

through various levels of spiritual purification.

And, uh...

along its journey, it, uh...

Should it encounter any difficulties with which it's incapable of coping,

it can... it can call for aid and comfort

from spirits already having attained a higher level of purification.

And it continues its journey

until it reaches the highest, the final level,

which is a state of oneness with God.

And that's where all religious concepts,

Mohammedanism, Christianity, Buddhism,

even atheism, all come together.

I think that makes it a real philosophy of hope.

I'd really like to believe that.

It'd make me feel better to think that Ed was someplace

where the color of his skin didn't matter.

You're very quiet. Is there anything wrong?

I was thinking about how stupid I have been.

In not meeting people and accepting them

as the people that they are.

But mostly because of the way you treated me.

It's like you've held out your hand to everyone.

And... you've given to them.

And you've given so much to me.

I want to take your hand,

because... I love you.

I haven't just... fallen in love with someone.

I've learned to love you.

Because you've taught me what real love is.

What do you know about love?

What do you know about me?

You don't know anything about me, and I don't know anything about you.

We just met a short time ago, and already you're in love, huh?

It's just a new emotion you found some place

and now you tack a label on it called "love".

You know, all my life I've had people running my life for me,

and I'm sick and tired of it.

First it was my mother. Then I wasted 11 years of my life.

Just who do you think you are anyway?

We had a perfect thing going, and now you have to spoil it with this.

Look, I'm...

I'm not trying to hurt you, but...

there's just no place in my life for this kind of relationship.

No place at all.

Sunny? You asleep?

No.

Listen, I feel really ashamed of myself because I lied to you.

I mean, not about what I told you about myself,

but what I didn't tell you.

I told you I was a school teacher, but...

I didn't also tell you that I was a Catholic priest.

You mean... You mean you're a priest right now?

Well, that's something I'm trying to figure out right now.

And... if you can just give me some time, Sunny,

maybe we can work things out.

You've got a real good excuse, John.

Every man has a real good excuse.

Listen, it's true, Sunny.

She had on a pea coat the last time I saw her.

I got a signed statement by the lady and both daughters, yes.

Now, you understand, I've put on two more operators, Mr. Jeffers,

both in Albuquerque and Phoenix, where the leads appear.

It'll cost $150 extra,

but you'll get a detailed bill on it.

If it's getting too big, then you're the man to call it off.

OK, unless you call me.

Yes.

Yeah, uh... I just dropped in to see if...

maybe you've found out something about Sunny yet?

Sunny...

Yes!

I talked to her parents on the phone.

They're sending photographs in of her and I've got at least one good lead.

Hey, there's great news!

About the extra money you said you needed,

I sold my car, and, uh...

that's all I could raise.

OK, I'll get a man on it now, I mean today.

Tell me, did she ever mention any friends that she had

she might like to visit,

or any places she'd like to go to?

Yeah, uh...

Let's see, there was either a girlfriend or a relative

who lived in Encino

and works in some department store there.

That's good.

And if there's anything about her appearance

you didn't tell me over the telephone,

- be sure to include that. - (Phone rings)

I'll need $120.

OK, John, I've got news for you, what you're paying for.

I went out to the people's house where she was staying,

talked to them myself.

I don't think you realize how broken up this girl was when you split.

Well, to make a long story short, she went back on LSD.

She had a lot of bum trips.

Yesterday, after dropping a pill, she jumped In a car,

'drove off the end of a cliff.'

Went into a deep ravine.

She's at Mercy Hospital, John.

They don't know if she's gonna make it or not.

Ask for Nurse Walker.

John, one more thing:

I don't know if it'll make you feel better or not,

but I think she was trying for that accident.

Status 203.

Oh, thank you.

I'm sorry, but Miss Sunny Stone has just passed away.

Hey, Marty.

What kind of joint you running here? A queer joint?

Cool it, will you? We have a good business.

I'm with you, I'm with you,

but they're a customer and we got a business here.

Look at 'em. Look at that hippy down there with hair growing down to his ass in fact.

That makes me sick to my stomach. I could throw up, I could.

They all belong in a zoo. I'll tell you something about 'em.

You go to any park, they got all the parks.

They flit around like a bunch of fairies.

They're all smoking that dope.

I come in, I wanna have a picnic with the family,

I might as well go to the downtown area,

around the corner.

Put up a tent!

There's nothing I can do, not a damn thing I can do about it,

but someday I'm gonna grab one of these guys by his ass

and let him know where it's at.

Cos I've had it.

Hey, punk!

Why don't you just get a haircut, for Christ's sake?

Wear your hair like this, this is how a real man wears his hair,

not like a whiffenpoof.

These people don't even believe in God!

They're all a bunch of devils, of heathens. They're nothing. Dope fiends!

You know what a hippy is down there, don't you?

A guy that looks like a Jill and smells like a John!

(Laughs) That's funny! Smells like a John!

Hey, buddy, take it easy. There are ladies in here.

You dirty rotten bum, you asked for it!

(Clattering)

Stop it!

Take your filthy hands off me!

(Continues shouting, laughs)

Ain't gonna fool around with me!

Oh boy, that was fun!

Look at this! What the hell is this?

Get this guy out of here! Who is that?

Get him out of there.

Pull him out of there. Get him out.

What do we got here? A smoking bum head.

Red, go check the car. See if he took anything out of there.

Come on! What are you, a wise guy?

You smoking bum!

I just wondered if any one of you could spare a little change, huh?

(Laughing) Ooh, dangerous.

There's only about 37 cents between all of us.

Uh, listen, that's great, man. Anything you can spare, I can use it.

It's not gonna get you what you want.

Man, what do you know what I want?

OK, relax, sit down, be calm.

Be cool, man, sit down.

You guys got a drink or something?

Nothing to drink, man, nothing at all.

I can give you something, but you don't drink it.

Yeah, why don't you try some of these?

- Yeah, these will help you out. - Here you go.

This will pick you up.

This will put you down.

This will take you anywhere you wanna go, man, so...

- Got any grass? - Yeah.

Lena, come over here a moment.

This will help you out, man. This will get you up.

Come on, let's call it, man, I'm busy. Let's go.

Come on, come on.

- This your first time? - Yeah.

I'll give you one for nothing.

So, I got all the stuff?

You got everything. If you need any help, Lena will show you.

(Train horn blares)

(Distorted noises echoing)

(Cooing, rumbling)

(Distorted screams)

(Distorted cooing)

(Distorted screams)

Wow! Looks like we've found us a junkie.

Looks like this guy's been shooting H.

We'd better get him down to the church.

Yeah, that's the only place for him.

Come on.

- Hey, what's happening? - You'll be alright.

♪ I want the light

♪ The light from my savior

♪ To light my way tonight

♪ I want His light

♪ To set me free

♪ Oh, Lord

♪ You know I need

♪ Sprouting the seeds in the rushes and the reeds

♪ I need Your light

♪ Your light that shows the way and makes me free ♪

I wanna praise the Lord for my salvation.

The Bible says,

"Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all things shall come thereafter."

If you're here tonight, you're looking at a life of sin

and you're hung up on dope, cars, clothes,

money, earthly things, material things,

all you have to do is come down here, humble yourself before God

and raise up your spirit, asking the Lord to show you the way.

He'll take care of everything. Praise the Lord.

I first thank the Lord for my salvation.

What dope did for me, it made me a real heavy person, a deep philosopher.

So I totally tripped out.

Finally I gave up and I meditated for about ten days.

I was laying there, staring at walls,

and I knew that there was nothing worth living for in this life

and society was falling apart.

I couldn't see the nine-to-five jobs or routine like that,

not because I was into revolutions or anything,

but because of the pure fact that there was no life.

I'd lived in a lot of places,

and I found no peace, happiness or anything in my life.

My sin caught up with me.

I was scared out of my mind. I've never been that scared.

It's like no fear that human fear will ever give you.

I remembered that God said heaven and earth shall pass away,

everything was snakes and bugs.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word will not pass away.

And I pulled my Bible out of my pocket and I started to read it.

And as soon as I opened the Word,

on the very first page, I saw the word "Christ".

And it shone out of there like a... like a beacon.

Just went... pshhh.

And everything else was snakes and horrible things.

The people's faces, like...

Their hair was growing. They looked like nothing but devils.

And the word "Christ" stood out like the brightest beacon of light in the world.

And I knew that that was it. I had no idea why at the time.

But now I know exactly why. Jesus put me up here. Praise God!

It's in God that you'll find the real answer.

But you turn your back on him.

It's in giving and not taking

that you'll find the real answer.

It's in silence...

But if you stupefy your senses with pot... (Continues indistinctly)
