"He said the attempt will be made in place
on March 6...

1:11:06
"Mr. Epstein also said
that Paul McCartney was alive in London."

1:11:11
"John Lennon doesn't affront the queen
by sending back his MBE.

1:11:14
"He doesn't make ha'penny's
worth of difference...

1:11:15
"to attitudes on Biafra or Vietnam.
1:11:17
"Or to the place of his drug-orientated
record in the charts.

1:11:20
"He makes an ass of himself."
1:11:24
- We waited for hours.
- Remember me?

1:11:26
If I'm going to get on the front page...
1:11:28
I might as well get on the front page
with the word "peace."

1:11:31
But you've made yourself ridiculous.
1:11:33
To some people. I don't care...
1:11:34
- You're too good for what you're doing.
- Lf it saves lives...

1:11:37
You don't think... My dear boy,
you're living in a never-never land.

1:11:41
You talked to a...
1:11:42
You don't think you've
saved a single life?

1:11:45
What do you know about
a protest movement, anyway?

1:11:47
I know a lot about it.
1:11:48
It consists of a lot more than...
1:11:49
sending your chauffeur in your car
back to Buckingham Palace.

1:11:53
You're just a snob about it!
The only way you can make...

1:11:55
You're a fake!
1:11:56
Can't give up something
that means a little more?

1:11:59
It was no sacrifice to get rid of the MBE,
it was an embarrassment...

1:12:02
Then what kind of protest did you make?
1:12:03
- You said I don't know what this...
- It is an advertising campaign for peace.

1:12:08
- Can you understand that?
- No, I can't.

1:12:09
A very big ad
campaign for peace.

1:12:11
I think it's vulgar
and self-aggrandizing.

1:12:13
Are you advertising
John Lennon or peace?

1:12:15
Do you want nice,
middle-class gestures for peace?

1:12:18
And intellectual manifestos...
1:12:20
written by a lot half-witted intellectuals?
1:12:23
And nobody reads them. That's the trouble
with the peace movement.

1:12:28
I'm someone who admired you very much.
1:12:30
I'm sorry you liked
the old mop-tops, dear...

1:12:32
and you thought
I was very satirical and witty.

1:12:35
And you liked Hard Day's Night, love,
but I've grown up.

1:12:37
- But you obviously haven't.
- Have you?

1:12:40
Yes, folks.
1:12:56
John Lennon stopped
during his busy peace campaign today...

1:12:59
to give an interview in which
he spoke candidly about drugs.
