Bowling for Columbine

:17:02
- Never made a bomb yourself?
- No. Oh, I've made 'em.

:17:05
It was nothing big; it wasn't
even as big as a pipe bomb.

:17:08
It was just... some make it
like a little tennis-ball bomb

:17:10
or something like that.
:17:14
Out of the "Anarchist Cookbook,"
the latest thing I built...

:17:18
I think, would have to be...
I think I made it, like,

:17:21
about a good five-gallon drum
of napalm.

:17:25
You know, homemade napalm.
:17:28
- Kids knew that
you were doing this?

:17:29
- Yeah.
- So you were number two, then,

:17:31
on the list.
- Right.

:17:33
- Who was number one?
- I don't know.

:17:35
They never told me that name.
Which kind of made me mad.

:17:38
'Cause I didn't make it
to number one.

:17:41
I know it's kind of silly,
but I guess

:17:44
it'd been kind of an ego thing,
knowing that I was number one

:17:47
at something in Oscoda, even
if it was a bomb-threat list.

:17:51
- Do you believe it was right
:17:53
to blow up the building
in Oklahoma City?

:17:55
I'm not saying you did it.
- No. No, no, no.

:17:58
- I'm just saying: was it right?
- Why was it "blowed up"?

:18:00
That's a good question. Why
was that building "blowed up"?

:18:03
And who blew it up?
- But if someone did it,

:18:06
it would be wrong.
- Yeah.

:18:07
- It is wrong to take the lives
of those people.

:18:10
- Yeah.
:18:12
I use the pen. 'Cause the pen
is mightier than the sword.

:18:17
But you always must keep a sword
handy, for when the pen fails.

:18:21
I sleep with a .44 Magnum
under my pillow.

:18:25
- Come on...
That's what everyone says.

:18:28
Is that true?
- It's true.

:18:30
- If we were to go--
- The whole world knows that.

:18:33
- ...look under your pillow right
now, would we see a .44 Magnum?

:18:36
- Yeah.
- Honestly?

:18:37
Would you take us and show us?
Right now?

:18:40
He took me into his bedroom,
but told the cameraman

:18:43
to stay out. Sure enough,
:18:44
there was a .44 Magnum
under his pillow.

:18:48
There it is. Okay.
Is it loaded?

:18:50
- Aye-yay-yay.
:18:52
- Okay. I believe you.
:18:53
NICHOLS HAS COCKED THE GUN
AND PUT IT TO HIS TEMPLE.

:18:56
[ laughing ]
Don't do that!

:18:59
You put the gun to your head.
- I know!
