:48:01
I have a new poem
I'd like to read.
:48:04
[ Angela ] Point of order, please.
Apoint of order.
:48:06
I want to discuss this strategy of poems,
which are getting us nowhere.
:48:10
Excuse me, ma'am. Ma'am.
Poems are amazing, okay?
:48:14
They will help you
and your mind transform.
:48:16
[ Angela ]
Who the hell are you?
:48:18
I'm with Albert.
It will help you...
:48:21
to transform your mind
into thinking differently.
:48:23
- You guys need this, okay? This is great.
- Where's Brad?
:48:27
This is called
'An Open Meadow. '
:48:30
''An open meadow,
an open marsh in a cloudless sky.
:48:32
- [ Girl ] Boring.
- A crane flies.''
:48:34
- Oh, Brad's here.!
- [ Brad ] Look what I got you, MaryJane.
:48:38
- Oh, is that for my grandson?
- It most certainly is.
:48:40
I'm talking here.
Come on. Shit.
:48:42
You know what?
Let me just finish reading my poem...
:48:44
and then we'll review
our strategy, okay?
:48:46
- Good job, Albert.
- Can it be taped?
:48:49
Excuse me, Brad. I would like to finish
reading my poem, please. Thank you.
:48:52
- Relax. Not doing your poem.
- Don't give me the relax thing, Brad.
:48:55
Let him read the poem, man.
He was in the middle of it.
:48:58
That man is not in our coalition. He has
no right to be here and no right to speak.
:49:02
No, ma'am, I'm not a member,
but I am a local firefighter.
:49:05
He's a great firefighter
and exactly who we want on our side.
:49:08
I don't know who these men are.
They're not members of our coalition.
:49:11
They're working on the benefit.
They're bringing a lot of support for our cause.
:49:15
- Conflict is an illusion.
- Shut up, Brad.
:49:17
Hey, Albert, that's not
the way a director behaves.
:49:19
Why are you guys wasting all
your time fighting each other?
:49:24
I mean, come on. Serious.
Put the egos aside for a second, guys, please.
:49:28
Deal with this issues, okay. We have a deadly
petroleum situation, not to mention--
:49:32
- [ Group Booing, Hissing ]
- Shut up! Shut--
:49:35
- [ Mouths Words ]
- Cystic Fibrosis. Civil war in Africa.
:49:39
Toxic fish. You have children
in your own community going to prison.
:49:43
Father Flavin doesn't have
the money to help them.
:49:46
Ma'am, listen to me.
:49:48
This is exactly the unfocused,
idealistic approach...
:49:51
- by Mr. Markovski that's killing us dead.
- [ Applause ]
:49:55
Killing us dead.
Our mission has nothing to do...
:49:58
with this nut's
petroleum fixation.
