1:46:03
because you wanted to drop
something burning your fingers.
1:46:08
If this man carries out his plan,
repercussions will rock the foundation
1:46:10
of our entire government.
1:46:14
Please, Mr Cedar.
Proceed.
1:46:16
Personally, I don't know
what Mr Cedar is raving about.
1:46:24
No matter what system
of government we have,
1:46:27
there'll always be leaders
and always be followers.
1:46:30
Like the road in front of my house,
on a steep hill.
1:46:32
Every day, I watch the cars climbing up.
1:46:35
Some go lickety-split up that hill,
some have to shift into second.
1:46:37
Some sputter and shake
and slip back to the bottom again.
1:46:41
Same cars, same gasoline,
yet some make it and some don't.
1:46:44
I say the fellows who can make the hill
should stop and help those who can't.
1:46:48
That's all I'm trying to do,
help fellows who can't make the hill.
1:46:52
What does Mr Cedar expect me to do?
Give it to people who don't need it?
1:46:56
If you don't mind, I'll ride
on those top waves for a minute.
1:47:01
All you fellows up there, all those
who applied for a farm, stand up.
1:47:04
See them? They're the ones
I'm trying to help.
1:47:11
Mr Cedar and Mr Semple don't
need anything. They've got plenty.
1:47:13
It's like I see one fellow
in a rowboat who's tired of rowing
1:47:17
and wants a free ride
and another who's drowning.
1:47:21
Who would you expect me to rescue?
Mr Cedar, who wants a free ride?
1:47:23
Or those men who are drowning?
1:47:28
Any 10-year-old child will give you
the answer to that. Thank you. Sit down.
1:47:30
Now, my plan was very simple.
1:47:36
Give each family 10 acres,
a horse, a cow and some seed,
1:47:39
and if they worked the farm
for three years, it's theirs.
1:47:42
If that's crazy, I ought to be sent
to an institution,
1:47:45
but I don't think it is,
and Mr Cedar doesn't either.
1:47:48
Before the hearing, he offered to call
everything off if I made a settlement.
1:47:51
He wouldn't think I was crazy
if he got paid off.
1:47:56
It's a lie growing
in his warped imagination.
1:47:58
I never heard anything
so stupid in my life.
