1
00:00:05,873 --> 00:00:09,252
This is the city, Los
Angeles, California.
2
00:00:09,276 --> 00:00:10,687
I work here.
3
00:00:10,711 --> 00:00:12,378
I carry a badge.
4
00:00:18,652 --> 00:00:21,098
The story you're
about to see is true.
5
00:00:21,122 --> 00:00:24,323
The names have been
changed to protect the innocent.
6
00:00:54,822 --> 00:00:56,332
It was Thursday, July 18th.
7
00:00:56,356 --> 00:00:58,301
We were working out
of Narcotics Division.
8
00:00:58,325 --> 00:00:59,769
The boss is Captain Trembly.
9
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:02,806
My partner is Bill Gannon.
My name is Friday.
10
00:01:02,830 --> 00:01:05,875
We were returning to the office after
lunch when we picked up a radio call
11
00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:07,944
regarding a juvenile jumper.
12
00:01:07,968 --> 00:01:12,503
We were in the area and
we drove over to check it out.
13
00:01:17,745 --> 00:01:19,689
Help me! Kill the snakes!
14
00:01:19,713 --> 00:01:21,357
The snakes, kill them!
15
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:23,059
They're climbing
on the building!
16
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:24,227
Help me! Kill them!
17
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:25,895
Kill them! They're biting.
18
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:26,963
They're eating my legs, please.
19
00:01:26,987 --> 00:01:29,099
Back! Back!
20
00:01:29,123 --> 00:01:31,467
Kill them! Kill them!
21
00:01:31,491 --> 00:01:34,470
Kill the snakes, please!
22
00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:35,471
They're climbing the building.
23
00:01:35,495 --> 00:01:38,674
Kill them! Die, snakes!
24
00:01:38,698 --> 00:01:40,744
Die! Kill them!
25
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:45,148
Kill them, please!
Help me kill them!
26
00:01:45,172 --> 00:01:46,816
What's the story?
27
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,185
It seems the boy got onto the roof
and barricaded the door up there.
28
00:01:49,209 --> 00:01:51,621
- I had to call
the Fire Department.
- You know who the kid is?
29
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:53,123
Well, I haven't had the
time to check witnesses.
30
00:01:53,147 --> 00:01:54,624
The crazy kid's got wiped down.
31
00:01:54,648 --> 00:01:56,826
- You guys must see
a lot of this.
- More than we like.
32
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:59,328
Young kids standing up
there swinging a TV antenna,
33
00:01:59,352 --> 00:02:01,131
trying to kill the snakes
that were after him.
34
00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:02,498
Sounds like acid, doesn't it?
35
00:02:02,522 --> 00:02:04,567
Either that or he's psycho.
36
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:11,107
Please, please keep
the snakes away!
37
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:12,942
They're after me. You
just see them all around.
38
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:15,245
They're crawling
on the sidewalks.
39
00:02:15,269 --> 00:02:16,612
All right. Take it easy, son.
40
00:02:16,636 --> 00:02:18,281
- Please!
- We found this in his pocket.
41
00:02:18,305 --> 00:02:19,783
Oh, no. Please no.
42
00:02:19,807 --> 00:02:21,339
LSD.
43
00:02:22,776 --> 00:02:24,154
You wanted some saccharine, Joe?
44
00:02:24,178 --> 00:02:25,155
No, thanks.
45
00:02:25,179 --> 00:02:28,925
Pot, speed, LSD.
46
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:31,327
Why the devil do the kids
mess with that garbage?
47
00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:34,164
- I don't know.
- It's like they got a grudge
against themselves.
48
00:02:34,188 --> 00:02:37,033
I mean it, Joe. What's really
going on with these young people?
49
00:02:37,057 --> 00:02:39,702
That boy today, where is the
kick in going out of your head?
50
00:02:39,726 --> 00:02:41,337
I don't know. You see
them over in Juvenile,
51
00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:44,573
8, 9-year-old losing it versus
10-year-olds acid freaks.
52
00:02:44,597 --> 00:02:47,343
They keep telling us that our
society is more sophisticated.
53
00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:50,113
It looks like we got the drugs
to go along with it, doesn't it?
54
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:51,781
Joe, Bill, I'd like you
to meet somebody.
55
00:02:51,805 --> 00:02:54,517
Sergeant Joe Friday, Officer
Bill Gannon, this is Robert Squire.
56
00:02:54,541 --> 00:02:56,652
- Mr. Squire.
- Bob here thinks he has an idea
57
00:02:56,676 --> 00:02:58,054
concerning teenage
drug addiction.
58
00:02:58,078 --> 00:02:59,388
Maybe not stomp
it out completely,
59
00:02:59,412 --> 00:03:01,925
but at least let it know
it's been in a good fight.
60
00:03:01,949 --> 00:03:04,660
Sit down.
61
00:03:04,684 --> 00:03:07,931
First off gentlemen, I'll tell
you what I told the captain.
62
00:03:07,955 --> 00:03:09,799
I don't know beans
about crime prevention.
63
00:03:09,823 --> 00:03:12,168
I'm a businessman. I like
to think I'm a good one.
64
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:13,937
I made a few bucks in
the scaffolding business
65
00:03:13,961 --> 00:03:17,040
by finding new and better
ways to tackle old problems.
66
00:03:17,064 --> 00:03:19,175
Last week, I happened to
be having dinner with a friend,
67
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,411
John Stevens, a parole officer
with the California Youth Authority.
68
00:03:22,435 --> 00:03:26,316
We got to talking about the growing
problem of teenage drug addiction.
69
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:28,351
You said it seemed
a hopeless problem.
70
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:30,086
I know what you're thinking.
71
00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:33,356
You're thinking who is this
old duff to flap his gums?
72
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:35,424
That was pretty much
Steven's reaction too.
73
00:03:35,448 --> 00:03:38,061
He told me to solve it if I
thought it was that simple,
74
00:03:38,085 --> 00:03:39,062
but it's not simple.
75
00:03:39,086 --> 00:03:40,263
But I think I've come up
76
00:03:40,287 --> 00:03:42,065
with a partial
solution, a beginning.
77
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:45,168
No one has been able to curb
teenage drug addiction, right?
78
00:03:45,192 --> 00:03:47,503
Right. Why?
79
00:03:47,527 --> 00:03:50,139
Ask the question I ask myself.
80
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:52,608
What is it you people,
people like myself,
81
00:03:52,632 --> 00:03:55,378
are doing wrong that the
competition is doing right?
82
00:03:55,402 --> 00:03:58,781
- The competition?
- The drug pushers,
they're selling drugs,
83
00:03:58,805 --> 00:04:03,219
temporary kicks that wind up making
addicts or corpses of their customers.
84
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:06,322
Why are they still in business
when all they have to sell is poison?
85
00:04:06,346 --> 00:04:07,623
You tell us, Mr. Squire.
86
00:04:07,647 --> 00:04:10,760
It's just sales force.
His salesmen are kids.
87
00:04:10,784 --> 00:04:12,561
One kid uses the
junk and talks it up
88
00:04:12,585 --> 00:04:15,698
and before you know it, he has
sold 10, 20, 50 other kids on it.
89
00:04:15,722 --> 00:04:18,567
And who is around to tell
the kids that dope is bad?
90
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:22,471
We are, the older generation,
teachers, principals,
91
00:04:22,495 --> 00:04:26,075
parents, policemen, all of us
according to the kids... the enemy.
92
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:27,843
Gentlemen, if we were
selling five-dollar bills
93
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:29,245
for a dollar and a skate key,
94
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:30,546
the kids wouldn't
buy them from us.
95
00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:32,015
- I got an idea.
- What's that, sir?
96
00:04:32,039 --> 00:04:34,117
Something like
counterintelligence.
97
00:04:34,141 --> 00:04:36,752
Folks my age, your
age, can lecture the kids
98
00:04:36,776 --> 00:04:37,954
or arrest them and that's that,
99
00:04:37,978 --> 00:04:40,390
but it takes a kid to
convince another kid.
100
00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:42,959
Most teenagers try
pot or LSD or speed
101
00:04:42,983 --> 00:04:44,760
because it's stylish,
the in thing to do.
102
00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:46,896
They're convinced all
the other kids are doing it.
103
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,333
And you know how important it is to
young people to be in step with the crowd.
104
00:04:50,357 --> 00:04:52,936
Okay. Well, what if we can
get the teenagers themselves
105
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,438
to actively oppose
the use of narcotics?
106
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,040
If they're going to
play follow the leader,
107
00:04:57,064 --> 00:04:59,175
we've got to make sure
the leader isn't a drug freak.
108
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:01,244
Let's face it. A small
percentage of kids
109
00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:03,712
are going to become addicts in
spite of everything we can accomplish
110
00:05:03,736 --> 00:05:05,949
and a large percentage
of decent kids won't even
111
00:05:05,973 --> 00:05:08,051
go near the junk
even if we do nothing,
112
00:05:08,075 --> 00:05:11,254
but there's a tremendous number
of teenagers sitting on the fence
113
00:05:11,278 --> 00:05:12,655
who go one way or the other
114
00:05:12,679 --> 00:05:14,324
and they're worth
fighting for, aren't they?
115
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:16,159
Makes sense, but how
do you make it work?
116
00:05:16,183 --> 00:05:17,827
Let me tell you a true story.
117
00:05:17,851 --> 00:05:20,396
I once had a sick Siamese
kitten and I took it to the vet.
118
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:22,298
He told me the cat had rickets
119
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:25,034
and prescribed some gelatin
capsules containing cod liver oil.
120
00:05:25,058 --> 00:05:27,203
Now, the cat
needed cod liver oil
121
00:05:27,227 --> 00:05:29,272
and it was good for the
cat and we were determined
122
00:05:29,296 --> 00:05:32,342
to give that cat cod liver oil
whether it wanted it or not.
123
00:05:32,366 --> 00:05:35,378
So we held that cat and
shoved capsules down its throat
124
00:05:35,402 --> 00:05:38,314
and we held its mouth open
and that cat clawed and scratched
125
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:40,283
and choked and sputtered
and did everything,
126
00:05:40,307 --> 00:05:42,585
but take us to court and
sue us for mistreating it.
127
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:44,720
He just didn't want us
swallowing the capsule.
128
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:48,524
No way to convince that cat
you were doing him a favor.
129
00:05:48,548 --> 00:05:49,925
After several days
of force feeding him,
130
00:05:49,949 --> 00:05:52,028
trying to shove those
darn things down his throat,
131
00:05:52,052 --> 00:05:55,131
he accidentally
bit into a capsule.
132
00:05:55,155 --> 00:05:57,433
All of a sudden, he
began licking his chops,
133
00:05:57,457 --> 00:06:00,269
and after that we had
no trouble with him at all.
134
00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:02,305
We merely bought a
bottle of cod liver oil,
135
00:06:02,329 --> 00:06:06,009
put the stuff on a spoon,
and the cat licked it up.
136
00:06:06,033 --> 00:06:07,977
- Get the message?
- Maybe.
137
00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:10,413
A great deal of the materials
on drugs and narcotics
138
00:06:10,437 --> 00:06:13,182
that's being put out for
teenagers is in capsule form
139
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:15,218
and those young people
are not about to buy it
140
00:06:15,242 --> 00:06:16,652
no matter how
good it is for them.
141
00:06:16,676 --> 00:06:18,154
We know it's good for them,
142
00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:20,323
but that's obviously
not enough, is it?
143
00:06:20,347 --> 00:06:21,590
Tell them your plan, Bob.
144
00:06:21,614 --> 00:06:22,992
Well, my friend John Stevens
145
00:06:23,016 --> 00:06:24,894
has arranged to let me
use a high school classroom,
146
00:06:24,918 --> 00:06:27,163
and tomorrow evening
we're holding our first meeting.
147
00:06:27,187 --> 00:06:30,866
Stevens has seen to it that the kids
who attend receive summer school credit.
148
00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:31,934
Where do we fit in?
149
00:06:31,958 --> 00:06:33,536
Someone from the
police department
150
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,971
should be there to let the young
people know that adults and police
151
00:06:35,995 --> 00:06:37,507
can care without
having to run the show.
152
00:06:37,531 --> 00:06:38,774
Sounds pretty good to me.
153
00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:40,143
You two work along with Bob.
154
00:06:40,167 --> 00:06:41,610
Yes, sir. What time and where?
155
00:06:41,634 --> 00:06:43,413
- Here you are.
- Okay, we will be there.
156
00:06:43,437 --> 00:06:45,548
Thank you, gentlemen.
See you tomorrow night.
157
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:47,883
Bye, Bob.
158
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:49,552
Well, what do
you think, Captain?
159
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:50,986
I don't know.
160
00:06:51,010 --> 00:06:52,788
Maybe it's wishful thinking,
but makes sense to me.
161
00:06:52,812 --> 00:06:57,315
- Yes, sir.
- Let's hope it does
to the kids.
162
00:07:08,928 --> 00:07:11,340
Good evening, gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen,
163
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:13,276
I would like you to meet
Sergeant Joe Friday
164
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:14,610
and Officer Bill Gannon
165
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:15,811
of the Los Angeles
Police Department.
166
00:07:15,835 --> 00:07:17,980
We've just seen a film on LSD
167
00:07:18,004 --> 00:07:19,082
and we're about to discuss it.
168
00:07:19,106 --> 00:07:20,950
Go right ahead. We'll
stand in the back.
169
00:07:20,974 --> 00:07:21,951
We're here to learn.
170
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:22,985
Now, what did we learn
171
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:25,221
from this film we
just saw on LSD?
172
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,723
Number one, we
learned that it can cause
173
00:07:27,747 --> 00:07:30,859
chromosome damage
resulting in possible birth defects.
174
00:07:30,883 --> 00:07:35,164
Number two, we learned that it
can cause severe mental damage.
175
00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:39,535
Three, it could bring about vivid
and dangerous hallucinations.
176
00:07:39,559 --> 00:07:41,270
Now, what else did we learn?
177
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:42,338
Stanley?
178
00:07:42,362 --> 00:07:46,175
My name is Stanley Sorel.
179
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:48,777
I understood this group was
going to be run by teenagers.
180
00:07:48,801 --> 00:07:50,846
Well no disrespect, sir,
181
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:52,281
but you're no teenager
182
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:53,782
and they're not
teenagers either.
183
00:07:53,806 --> 00:07:55,985
You're right
especially about me.
184
00:07:56,009 --> 00:07:58,854
But this is our first meeting.
The officers are here
185
00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:01,124
because they want to help.
I'm here for the same reason,
186
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:03,359
but I'll gladly allow you
to chair the meeting, son.
187
00:08:03,383 --> 00:08:05,561
No, sir, not me.
188
00:08:05,585 --> 00:08:07,130
Mr. Squire, may I?
189
00:08:07,154 --> 00:08:11,000
Please do.
190
00:08:11,024 --> 00:08:12,801
Hi. My name is Ann Flynn.
191
00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:16,705
Even before seeing tonight's
film, I knew LSD was bad.
192
00:08:16,729 --> 00:08:18,841
I know that marijuana
and speed and all the rest
193
00:08:18,865 --> 00:08:20,409
of that stuff is terrible.
194
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:22,011
We all agree on that, don't we?
195
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:23,613
I mean that's why we're here.
196
00:08:23,637 --> 00:08:26,815
But now, what are we supposed
to do or what can we do?
197
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:28,317
We're just kids. We
can't arrest anyone.
198
00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:31,420
Well, we can set
an example maybe.
199
00:08:31,444 --> 00:08:32,988
What does that mean?
200
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:34,892
Has anyone here ever tried dope?
201
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:38,461
Okay, we're all clean.
202
00:08:38,485 --> 00:08:40,163
Isn't that setting
a good example?
203
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:41,730
What more are we expected to do?
204
00:08:41,754 --> 00:08:44,233
Not taking dope
isn't doing anything.
205
00:08:44,257 --> 00:08:46,636
That's being passive.
206
00:08:46,660 --> 00:08:48,538
We've got to actively
set an example.
207
00:08:48,562 --> 00:08:50,906
We've got to make it the
in thing not to try dope.
208
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:53,075
Well, how do we do that?
209
00:08:53,099 --> 00:08:56,011
By making anyone who
tried pot or pills feel stupid
210
00:08:56,035 --> 00:08:58,581
instead of like some
big shot on campus.
211
00:08:58,605 --> 00:09:02,485
I guess we all agree on that,
but how do you convince anyone?
212
00:09:02,509 --> 00:09:05,254
How do you convince
anyone in school of anything?
213
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:07,290
Bob, how did you get
elected to be treasurer
214
00:09:07,314 --> 00:09:08,757
of the student body?
215
00:09:08,781 --> 00:09:10,393
Well, first I campaigned.
216
00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:12,628
Then I made a speech
at the election assembly.
217
00:09:12,652 --> 00:09:13,829
And posters helped.
218
00:09:13,853 --> 00:09:15,565
And slogans and jingles too.
219
00:09:15,589 --> 00:09:16,865
That's right.
220
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:18,534
You convinced people
that voting for you
221
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:20,536
is the smart in thing to do.
222
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,339
Well, we'd all work to
help get a friend elected
223
00:09:23,363 --> 00:09:25,308
as student body president
or something like that.
224
00:09:25,332 --> 00:09:26,809
Isn't it worth a little effort
225
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:29,212
to keep a friend off that
stuff we saw in the movie?
226
00:09:29,236 --> 00:09:30,580
All right, so it is.
227
00:09:30,604 --> 00:09:32,147
But where do we begin?
228
00:09:32,171 --> 00:09:33,782
We've already begun.
229
00:09:33,806 --> 00:09:36,285
We're here when we
could be someplace else.
230
00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:38,821
And we've picked a
name... Smart Teens.
231
00:09:38,845 --> 00:09:41,290
I was thinking of
a slogan maybe.
232
00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:45,127
How about SOS for
Stomp out Stupidity?
233
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:46,629
Sounds good to me.
234
00:09:46,653 --> 00:09:48,831
If we could come up with
some good poster ideas,
235
00:09:48,855 --> 00:09:51,467
I'll bet the principal would let
us pin them up in the classrooms.
236
00:09:51,491 --> 00:09:53,269
And I know exactly where
they should be pinned,
237
00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:57,240
right next to the clock if you
ever expect me to see them.
238
00:09:58,265 --> 00:09:59,242
Well, why don't we all
239
00:09:59,266 --> 00:10:00,443
take a crack at coming up
240
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:02,411
with some slogans for posters?
241
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:04,413
How about Keep off the Grass?
242
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:06,249
That's it, something
that keeps will all dig.
243
00:10:06,273 --> 00:10:07,383
Hey, I got one.
244
00:10:07,407 --> 00:10:10,419
Any moron can smoke
pot and most morons do.
245
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,221
Great!
246
00:10:12,245 --> 00:10:13,356
Somebody should
be writing these down.
247
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:14,757
Let's make a list.
248
00:10:14,781 --> 00:10:16,892
SOS, Stomp out Stupidity!
249
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:19,729
- That's good.
- Any moron can smoke pot
and most morons do!
250
00:10:19,753 --> 00:10:21,952
- Keep off the grass!
- Hey, slow down.
251
00:10:36,903 --> 00:10:38,347
Well, what do you
think, Sergeant?
252
00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:41,284
Well, they seemed enthusiastic,
but a week's a long time.
253
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:42,752
If they come back
next Friday night
254
00:10:42,776 --> 00:10:44,853
and bring their friends,
maybe you got something here.
255
00:10:44,877 --> 00:10:46,756
It was kind of you to
offer to ask your friend
256
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:48,123
to draw up posters for the kids.
257
00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:49,792
I've known Al
Bertino for a long time.
258
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,594
He's a top artist
out of Walt Disney's.
259
00:10:51,618 --> 00:10:53,929
I'm sure if he has time to
spare, he'd enjoy doing it.
260
00:10:53,953 --> 00:10:55,230
Fine. Well, good
night gentlemen.
261
00:10:55,254 --> 00:10:56,399
- See you next week.
- Yes, sir.
262
00:10:56,423 --> 00:10:58,534
Good night. Well,
I'll tell you what
263
00:10:58,558 --> 00:11:00,636
- I think and I got
a couple of kids.
- Yeah.
264
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:03,739
- They came tonight, but tonight
they came out of curiosity.
- Yeah.
265
00:11:03,763 --> 00:11:05,675
But now they know if
Smart Teens is going to work,
266
00:11:05,699 --> 00:11:06,776
they have to work.
267
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,444
- One other thing.
- What's that?
268
00:11:08,468 --> 00:11:10,045
Only six kids here tonight.
269
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:11,781
They're going to need
more than that to make it go.
270
00:11:11,805 --> 00:11:12,915
Oh, I don't know.
271
00:11:12,939 --> 00:11:14,350
Good things have
been started with less.
272
00:11:14,374 --> 00:11:15,651
How is that?
273
00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:17,595
It only took one
acorn, didn't it?
274
00:11:36,062 --> 00:11:37,773
Monday, July 22nd.
275
00:11:37,797 --> 00:11:40,910
Bill and I drove out to the
Walt Disney Studios in Burbank
276
00:11:40,934 --> 00:11:44,602
to talk to Al Bertino about
the Smart Teen posters.
277
00:11:46,239 --> 00:11:47,349
Hey!
278
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,519
- Welcome to Bertino Land.
- Hi, Al.
279
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:50,786
- How have you been?
- Pretty fair?
280
00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:52,221
- And yourselves?
- No complaints.
281
00:11:52,245 --> 00:11:53,489
Good.
282
00:11:53,513 --> 00:11:55,357
Now, tell me what this
Smart Teens is all about
283
00:11:55,381 --> 00:11:58,494
and how this little Italian boy could
help you stomp out dope addiction?
284
00:11:58,518 --> 00:12:02,064
Well, here are the words.
Can you supply the music?
285
00:12:02,088 --> 00:12:04,901
- What do you think of them, Al?
- Hey. These aren't bad.
286
00:12:04,925 --> 00:12:06,335
How soon do you
need the art work?
287
00:12:06,359 --> 00:12:07,970
The next meeting is on Friday.
288
00:12:07,994 --> 00:12:09,338
Friday.
289
00:12:09,362 --> 00:12:10,907
No sweat.
290
00:12:10,931 --> 00:12:12,742
It's lucky you guys came
to me instead of Rembrandt.
291
00:12:12,766 --> 00:12:15,611
I'm not mocking him.
He does nice work,
292
00:12:15,635 --> 00:12:17,479
but he is slow. You
know what I mean.
293
00:12:17,503 --> 00:12:19,281
- Got a few minutes?
- A couple.
294
00:12:19,305 --> 00:12:20,315
Good.
295
00:12:20,339 --> 00:12:21,784
Let me try a few roughs on you.
296
00:12:21,808 --> 00:12:23,285
We're no art critics, Al.
297
00:12:23,309 --> 00:12:24,542
Quit bragging.
298
00:12:31,317 --> 00:12:34,664
Hey, these Smart Teens, can
they do the job do you think?
299
00:12:34,688 --> 00:12:36,098
It's up to the kids themselves.
300
00:12:36,122 --> 00:12:37,499
If they wanted to succeed,
301
00:12:37,523 --> 00:12:38,723
they can make it happen.
302
00:12:43,029 --> 00:12:44,273
Hey, that's great, Al.
303
00:12:44,297 --> 00:12:45,474
Well, it's just a rough.
304
00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:47,677
Let me try another.
305
00:12:47,701 --> 00:12:50,345
These kids are pretty
sharp, you know.
306
00:12:50,369 --> 00:12:52,159
It's reassuring
to find out that all
307
00:12:52,183 --> 00:12:54,450
teenagers aren't hooked
in some sort of junk.
308
00:12:54,474 --> 00:12:57,386
Punks and the misfits
get all of the headlines.
309
00:12:57,410 --> 00:12:58,710
It's a shame, isn't it?
310
00:13:00,013 --> 00:13:03,292
Well, maybe your
kids can change all that.
311
00:13:03,316 --> 00:13:04,961
Sort of like Alcoholics
Anonymous, isn't it?
312
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:07,396
I mean the idea that it
takes one to cure one.
313
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:09,531
Well, in a way, Al but
with a big difference.
314
00:13:09,555 --> 00:13:12,690
With Smart Teens, the idea
is it takes one to prevent one.
315
00:13:17,664 --> 00:13:19,308
How is this?
316
00:13:19,332 --> 00:13:21,844
Fine. That's what the
kids have in mind I'm sure.
317
00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:24,237
Good but I'll just work
them up in rough till
318
00:13:24,261 --> 00:13:26,548
our teenage jury gives
them the final okay.
319
00:13:26,572 --> 00:13:28,183
We'll be back on
Friday and pick them up.
320
00:13:28,207 --> 00:13:29,551
- They'll be ready.
- Thanks again.
321
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:32,409
Thanks for asking me.
322
00:13:40,754 --> 00:13:42,865
Your friend, Mr. Bertino,
has done a marvelous job.
323
00:13:42,889 --> 00:13:45,129
I just hope somebody
shows up to appreciate them.
324
00:14:05,478 --> 00:14:10,347
Well, there's two anyway.
325
00:14:23,496 --> 00:14:24,940
It's getting late, isn't it?
326
00:14:24,964 --> 00:14:26,575
Yes, sir.
327
00:14:26,599 --> 00:14:29,679
I guess maybe I don't understand
kids as well as I thought I did.
328
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:31,180
Maybe they'll be alone.
329
00:14:31,204 --> 00:14:33,237
Maybe they won't.
330
00:14:57,864 --> 00:14:59,308
Maybe we should begin.
331
00:14:59,332 --> 00:15:01,010
We're almost 30
minutes late now.
332
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:03,201
Bob, do you know of
anybody else coming?
333
00:15:18,284 --> 00:15:20,362
Gee, Mr. Squire. They're super!
334
00:15:20,386 --> 00:15:22,266
She must be the
pied piper of LA.
335
00:15:23,322 --> 00:15:24,633
It's my fault we're late.
336
00:15:24,657 --> 00:15:25,634
Bob told you, didn't he?
337
00:15:25,658 --> 00:15:26,736
Told us what?
338
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,303
That we wanted to
have a meeting first
339
00:15:28,327 --> 00:15:31,140
to make sure everyone knew
what Smart Teens was all about.
340
00:15:31,164 --> 00:15:32,307
Bob, didn't you tell them?
341
00:15:32,331 --> 00:15:33,765
Nobody asked for it just now.
342
00:15:36,202 --> 00:15:39,081
Ugh. Well anyway,
Mr. Squire, we're here.
343
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:41,150
You're here.
344
00:15:41,174 --> 00:15:42,852
Okay, everybody.
345
00:15:42,876 --> 00:15:43,986
Take your seats.
346
00:15:44,010 --> 00:15:46,989
Please sit down.
347
00:15:49,582 --> 00:15:52,895
All right, may I please
have your attention?
348
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:55,564
May I have your
attention, please?
349
00:15:55,588 --> 00:15:57,599
Well anyway, we
met over at my house
350
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:59,902
so I could explain what
Smart Teens was all about,
351
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:02,537
that it's not a social club
and that unless you think
352
00:16:02,561 --> 00:16:05,540
that drugs are a menace and you
really want to do something about them
353
00:16:05,564 --> 00:16:07,009
not to bother showing up.
354
00:16:07,033 --> 00:16:08,811
Well, that scared
off four of the kids,
355
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:11,013
but this bunch really
wants to go to work.
356
00:16:11,037 --> 00:16:14,250
I wrote out a pledge I
thought we might use.
357
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:17,853
"In joining Smart Teens, I
will not use marijuana, LSD,
358
00:16:17,877 --> 00:16:22,524
pet pills, goof balls, heroin, glue,
or any kind of illegal drug or narcotic.
359
00:16:22,548 --> 00:16:25,194
If accepted for
membership in Smart Teens,
360
00:16:25,218 --> 00:16:27,062
I will do all I can to
encourage my friends
361
00:16:27,086 --> 00:16:30,666
and peers to prevent the
use of drugs and narcotics
362
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:34,036
only through common
sense and education.
363
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:36,105
The second meeting
of Smart Teens
364
00:16:36,129 --> 00:16:38,240
will now come to order.
365
00:16:38,264 --> 00:16:40,109
We have many new
members with us tonight.
366
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:43,445
Before we discuss these
posters and ideas for others,
367
00:16:43,469 --> 00:16:44,847
I think some of our new members
368
00:16:44,871 --> 00:16:47,950
should explain why
they have decided to join.
369
00:16:47,974 --> 00:16:49,685
Lisa, do you want to start?
370
00:16:49,709 --> 00:16:52,021
Well, I read in the paper
about all those babies
371
00:16:52,045 --> 00:16:54,256
being born deformed
because of LSD
372
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,591
and I thought something
should be done about it.
373
00:16:56,615 --> 00:16:58,093
How about you, Mark?
374
00:16:58,117 --> 00:17:00,729
In my school, if you
don't try marijuana,
375
00:17:00,753 --> 00:17:02,965
they'll call you a
square and a jerk
376
00:17:02,989 --> 00:17:04,066
or something like that.
377
00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:06,936
But maybe if Smart
Teens is a success,
378
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,337
we'll be able to
convince everyone
379
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:10,005
that you're a jerk
if you do try it.
380
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:12,174
Lori, why do you want to join?
381
00:17:12,198 --> 00:17:13,508
I think the more you know
382
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:15,911
about dope and about
what it really does to you,
383
00:17:15,935 --> 00:17:19,114
the less anyone with half a brain is
going to want to mess around with it,
384
00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:21,917
and I figured that the
more I can learn about it,
385
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:25,955
the better I'll be able to
convince other kids that it's bad.
386
00:17:25,979 --> 00:17:27,356
What about you, Howard?
387
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:31,093
I'm 15 years old
and I've tried pot
388
00:17:31,117 --> 00:17:33,662
and I never would again
in spite of the pressure
389
00:17:33,686 --> 00:17:35,030
some of the kids
are putting on me.
390
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:36,631
But I have a 9-year-old brother
391
00:17:36,655 --> 00:17:39,168
and maybe if Smart
Teens works out okay,
392
00:17:39,192 --> 00:17:41,503
there'll be a less chance that
he'll ever want to try this stuff.
393
00:17:41,527 --> 00:17:44,439
All right. Now, let's all take
a good look at these posters
394
00:17:44,463 --> 00:17:46,541
and see which ones
we think are best.
395
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:48,944
Now, evaluate them.
Look at them carefully.
396
00:17:48,968 --> 00:17:50,512
Some of them we'll
have to eliminate.
397
00:17:50,536 --> 00:17:52,714
- You don't need us here.
- Thanks for all you've done.
398
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:54,984
It looks like you were right.
They're doing it all themselves.
399
00:17:55,008 --> 00:17:57,841
Goodbye, sir.
400
00:17:59,678 --> 00:18:01,857
Now you've all had a good
chance to look at them.
401
00:18:01,881 --> 00:18:04,293
Which poster do you think
best sums up the problem?
402
00:18:04,317 --> 00:18:06,583
Stanley?
403
00:18:09,055 --> 00:18:10,032
What do you think, Joe?
404
00:18:10,056 --> 00:18:11,533
Will it work?
405
00:18:11,557 --> 00:18:14,103
Can something that starts
with 40 kids in a classroom
406
00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:15,337
really make a difference?
407
00:18:15,361 --> 00:18:18,173
Well, you've got 40 super
salesmen in that room
408
00:18:18,197 --> 00:18:20,442
and a good product to sell.
409
00:18:20,466 --> 00:18:23,078
I know of one success story
that started with a lot less,
410
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:26,315
the guy who first got
the idea to pedal heroin.
411
00:18:26,339 --> 00:18:27,549
Now with a product like that,
412
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:30,019
just think what the
odds against him were.
413
00:18:30,043 --> 00:18:32,321
You know, I was
worried there for a while.
414
00:18:32,345 --> 00:18:33,588
Those kids were so late.
415
00:18:33,612 --> 00:18:35,313
But not too late.
416
00:18:56,235 --> 00:18:58,047
Slightly over a year ago,
417
00:18:58,071 --> 00:19:00,882
Smart Teens came into existence.
418
00:19:00,906 --> 00:19:04,619
There are now several thousand
members in Southern California alone.
419
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:09,258
The great majority of today's youngsters
are bright and decent human beings.
420
00:19:09,282 --> 00:19:11,327
When they have a
clear-cut choice to make,
421
00:19:11,351 --> 00:19:13,628
they generally make
the right decision.
422
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:15,264
Remember,
423
00:19:15,288 --> 00:19:17,499
drug addiction is
easier to prevent
424
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:18,689
than to cure.
