:53:01
decided that whatever... We knew...
:53:02
whatever we did
was going be in the papers.
:53:05
Whether it's Richard or Liz...
:53:07
or so-and-so gets married...
:53:08
or whatever people like us do
is gonna be in the papers.
:53:11
So we decided to utilize the space...
:53:13
we would occupy anyway,
by getting married...
:53:16
with a commercial for peace.
:53:19
And also a theatrical event.
:53:30
And what we basically
had was a seven-day...
:53:33
press conference in bed.
:53:36
It's a bed-in, folks.
:53:39
The first day they fought
at the door to get in...
:53:41
thinking there was something
sexy going on.
:53:44
And they found two people
talking about peace.
:53:46
Even if you can beat the establishment
at their own game...
:53:50
I don't believe in that game. I think
the only way to do it is Gandhi's way.
:53:53
That's nonviolent, passive, positive
or whatever they call it these old days.
:53:57
Is there not a more positive way
of demonstrating in favor of peace...
:54:00
than sitting in bed
eating three square meals a day...
:54:02
Now, it's a different age.
:54:03
It's gimmicks and salesmanship.
:54:05
And if that's what'll put it across,
that's the way to do it.
:54:07
Whether you're protesting against
the conditions you live in...
:54:10
or the conditions you work in,
or the conditions of the whole world.
:54:14
- Can I talk to you?
- Yeah, sure.
:54:15
Okay. Okay Rog.
:54:17
I think we got the message over, Roger.
:54:19
I think the message is catching on.
The peace message.
:54:21
Chuck, don't you think so,
the peace message is catching on?
:54:24
Right, he thinks so. We met a lot of
groovy people, made some good contacts.
:54:28
- Right?
- For tomorrow?
:54:30
For tomorrow? Who knows?
:54:32
I'm a dreadful Neanderthal fascist.
How do you do?
:54:36
John and Yoko, meet cartoonist Al Capp.
:54:40
We've had all sorts in here.
:54:42
I'm sure you have.
:54:45
One of the things that had...
:54:48
interested me was that you said
that you were very shy people.
:54:52
Yes, we are.
:54:55
And yet, these are...
:54:58
- Does that prove you're not shy?
- Certainly not.
