1:09:02
I'm gonna stick the "Mao Tse-tung Hour"
in at 8:00...
1:09:04
because we're having a lot of trouble
selling the "Mao Tse-tung Hour."
1:09:17
That "Mao Tse-tung Hour's" turning
into one big pain in the ass.
1:09:23
We're having heavy legal problems
with the federal government right now.
1:09:28
Two FBI guys turned up in Hackett's
office and served us with a subpoena.
1:09:34
They heard about our Flagstaff
bank rip-off film, and they want it.
1:09:40
Hackett told the FBI to fuck off.
1:09:47
We're getting around the FBI...
1:09:49
by doing the show in collaboration
with the news division.
1:09:52
We're standing on the First Amendment:
Freedom of the press...
1:09:55
and the right to protect our sources.
1:09:57
Walter thinks we can knock out
the misprision of felony charge.
1:10:08
But he says absolutely nix
on going to series.
1:10:11
They'll hit us with "conspiracy
with an inducement to commit a crime."
1:10:16
Christ, it's cold in here.
1:10:19
We're paying these Ecumencial
Liberation Army nuts $10,000 a week...
1:10:23
in order to turn in authentic film
of their revolutionary activities.
1:10:26
That inconstitutes
"inducement to commit a crime"...
1:10:30
and Walter says we'll all wind up
in federal prison.
1:10:35
I said, "Walter,
let the federal government sue us.
1:10:40
We'll take them to the Supreme Court.
1:10:42
We'll be front page."
1:10:45
The New York Times
and the Washington Post...
1:10:48
will write editorials.
1:10:50
We'll be front page for months.
We'll have more press than Watergate.
1:10:54
All I need is six weeks
federal litigation...
1:10:59
and the "Mao Tse-tung Hour" can start
carrying its own time slot.
