:07:03
Let me see this.
:07:08
- It's simply a loyalty oath.
- To CBS?
:07:11
And to America.
:07:13
- You promise to be a loyal American?
- All of the reporters have signed this.
:07:16
- Are you promising this to CBS? Paley?
- Murrow. Murrow signed it.
:07:20
- Murrow signed it?
- Yeah.
:07:23
"Are you now or have you ever been"...
:07:25
I thought it was a joke at first,
but there's a lot of pressure.
:07:28
..."on the list of subversive groups?"
- I don't know.
:07:30
All right, what is it really saying?
:07:33
Is it a civil liberties issue or censorship?
:07:36
- I'm telling CBS that I'm not a Communist.
- Murrow signed this?
:07:39
- Yeah. And Fred and Stanton.
- Maybe you should talk to Murrow.
:07:42
Maybe I should sign it.
:07:45
If you don't sign this,
are you and I a target?
:07:50
If I don't sign it, they'll fire me.
:07:58
Sign it.
:08:00
Finally we can tell everyone the truth.
:08:03
If I could express it
in what"s in my heart right now...
:08:07
... l"d do it in the terms
of the poet who once said:
:08:12
Ah, "tis but a dainty flower I bring to you
:08:16
Yes, "tis but a violet, glistening with dew
:08:22
But still in its heart
There lies beauties concealed
:08:26
So in our heart
:08:30
Our love for you
:08:32
Lies unrevealed.
:08:37
You know, I used to...
:08:44
... pride myself on the idea
that I was a bit...
:08:49
... tough.
:08:51
Especially...
:08:53
... over the past...
:08:55
... 18 or 19 months when we"ve been...
:08:58
... kicked around
and bullwhipped and damned.
