Their instruments were the instruments
of percussion, know what I mean?

1:38:05
Yes, instruments of percussion,
like drums.

1:38:08
As far as I could make out in
the white blaze of the sand beach...

1:38:13
...the instruments were tin cans
strung together...

1:38:17
...and bits of metal,
other bits of metal...

1:38:20
...that had been flattened out
and made into...

1:38:23
- Into what?
- Cymbals, you know?

1:38:26
- Brass plates hit together.
- That's right.

1:38:28
Tin cans flattened out
and clashed together. Cymbals.

1:38:33
The others had other things.
All sorts of things.

1:38:37
Things that they'd made or picked up
on the beach to make a sort of noise.

1:38:43
A music made out of noise.
1:38:46
Go on.
1:38:47
I am going on.
Nothing could stop me now.

1:38:49
Your Cousin Sebastian, was he
entertained by this concert?

1:38:53
- Terrified of it.
- Terrified, why?

1:38:56
I think he recognized some
of the musicians.

1:38:59
Some of the boys.
1:39:01
Between childhood and older.
1:39:04
Did he complain to the manager
about it?

1:39:07
What manager? God?
You don't understand my cousin.

1:39:11
How do you mean?
1:39:13
He accepted all as how things are...
1:39:17
...and thought nobody had any right
to complain or interfere whatsoever.

1:39:22
Even though he knew what
was awful was awful...

1:39:26
...that what was wrong was wrong.
1:39:28
He thought it unfitting to ever take
any action about anything whatsoever...

1:39:33
...except to go on doing
as something in him directed.

1:39:36
What did this something in him
direct him to do?

1:39:39
He suddenly pushed himself
away from the table and said:

1:39:44
"They've got to stop.
Make them stop. I'm not a well man.

1:39:47
I have a heart condition.
It's making me sick."

1:39:50
That was the first time that
Cousin Sebastian ever attempted...

1:39:53
...to correct a human situation.
1:39:56
I think that
that was his fatal error.
