I remember walking around
Beckton Gas Works by myself. . .

1:48:08
. . .and he drove up in the jeep
and said:

1:48:10
"What's wrong?
Why are you walking around?"

1:48:13
I said, "I don't know
what it is you want from me. "

1:48:17
And he said,
"Are you crazy? Get in the jeep. "

1:48:20
He said,
"I don't want you to do anything.

1:48:22
I want you just to be yourself,
that's all I want. "

1:48:26
You put "Born to Kill" on your helmet
and wear a peace button.

1:48:28
Is that some kind of sick joke?
1:48:32
Well, what does it mean?
1:48:34
-I don't know, sir.
-You don't know very much.

1:48:36
Get your head and your ass wired
together or I will shit on you!

1:48:41
Answer my question
or you'll stand tall before the Man.

1:48:44
I was referring to
the duality of man, sir.

1:48:48
The duality of man.
The Jungian thing, sir.

1:48:52
Whose side are you on?
1:48:53
Kubrick shot part of
Full Metal Jacket in London. . .

1:48:56
. . .where a derelict gasworks was made
into the city of Hue, Vietnam.

1:49:01
The four key elements were
the demolition, the signage. . .

1:49:05
. . .the palm trees and the smoke.
1:49:07
Most was shot in "magic hour. "
1:49:11
"Magic hour" is that delightful time
of day when you're all exhausted. . .

1:49:14
. . .and the light's perfect.
1:49:18
He's dead.
1:49:22
You collaborate with Stanley.
1:49:25
It's not easy to impress him
with what you do. . .

1:49:28
. . .but if you come out
not ticking off about something. . .

1:49:31
. . .you know you've done well.
1:49:33
You get very close.
You're part of the family.

1:49:36
It's a very close unit because you're
with him 24 hours a day sometimes.

1:49:41
You eat, drink and sleep it.
1:49:42
There's no life outside
of film with Stanley.

1:49:45
And if you enjoy it,
there's no greater experience.

1:49:48
Everybody earned their pay
when they worked for Stanley.

1:49:52
But nobody earned their pay
the way Stanley earned his pay.

1:49:56
No one worked as thoroughly, deeply. . .
1:49:58
. . .obsessively, as Stanley did.
