We're trying to clear up
all evictions today...
1:18:02
so it won't get into the latter part
of Christmas, which is tomorrow.
1:18:07
We don't want to do any tomorrow.
1:18:09
- Because it's Christmas?
- Right.
1:18:13
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's my pleasure to introduce...
1:18:16
the chairman of General Motors
with his annual Christmas message...
1:18:20
Mr. Roger B. Smith.
1:18:28
You know, the thing that strikes me
about Christmas...
1:18:33
is that it's such a total experience.
1:18:37
For a few weeks out of our year...
1:18:39
our whole environment is transformed.
1:18:43
There are the lights, of course...
1:18:45
that lift us out of winter's cold and gloom.
1:18:47
This bitch got his money
and sent my motherfucking shit out.
1:18:53
They remind us
of the warmth of human companionship...
1:18:57
and of the spring that's never far behind.
1:19:02
Try to lay it down.
The wind will blow it over if you don't.
1:19:06
We listen for jingle bells in the country.
1:19:09
We smell the pine needles on the trees...
1:19:12
and the turkey on the table.
1:19:15
We even dream of a white Christmas...
1:19:17
in the hope that nature will accommodate
our longing for a total experience.
1:19:22
Where are the motherfucking keys?
1:19:24
- That motherfucker got his money.
- They're setting us out on the street!
1:19:28
I paid this man his rent. Give me my shit.
1:19:32
... the individual dignity
and worth of each human being...
1:19:36
the more fully human
each of us will become.
1:19:39
He's got his money!
I showed you the paper!
1:19:42
All I owe that man is $150.
1:19:44
Now let me close with an observation...
1:19:46
that I consider
by a real leading authority on Christmas:
1:19:51
Charles Dickens. Here's what he said:
1:19:56
''I have always thought of Christmas...
1:19:58
''as a good time... ''
1:19:59
Get your goddamn coats on!
