:43:03
Very interesting.
:43:05
This, Your Majesty,
is Rupert, our young editor.

:43:08
How do you do, Rupert?
:43:10
Sit down.
:43:11
- What's that you're reading?
- Karl Marx.

:43:15
Surely you're not a communist?
:43:17
Do I have to be a communist
to read Karl Marx?

:43:21
That's a valid answer.
:43:23
Well, if you're not a communist,
what are you?

:43:26
- Nothing.
- Nothing?

:43:28
I dislike all forms of government.
:43:30
But somebody must rule!
:43:32
And I don't like the word ''rule''.
:43:34
Well, if we don't like the word ''rule'',
let's call it ''leadership''.

:43:38
Leadership in government
is political power

:43:40
and political power is an official
form of antagonizing the people.

:43:44
What magazine did you say he edits?
:43:46
A commentary on current events.
:43:49
Pardon me, Your Majesty.
:43:51
But my dear young man,
politics are necessary.

:43:55
Politics are rules imposed
upon the people.

:43:57
But in this country rules
are not imposed,

:44:00
they are the wish
of all free citizens.

:44:02
Travel around a bit,
then you'll see how free they are.

:44:04
You didn't let me finish.
:44:06
They have every man
in a straightjacket

:44:08
and without a passport
he can't move a toe.

:44:11
In a free world they violate
the natural rights of every citizen.

:44:16
They have become the weapons
of political despots.

:44:18
If you don't think as they think
you're deprived of your passport.

:44:23
To leave a country
is like breaking out of jail.

:44:25
And to enter a country is like
going through the eye of a needle.

:44:28
Am I free to travel?
:44:29
Of course you're free to travel.
:44:31
- Only with a passport!
- May I say something?

:44:33
Only with a passport!
:44:35
Do animals need passports?
:44:38
Have you finished?
:44:39
It's incongruous that
in this atomic age of speed

:44:42
we are shut in and shut out
by passports.

:44:44
If you'll shut up and
let somebody else talk!

:44:46
- And free speech, does that exist?
- No, you've got it all.

:44:49
And free enterprise?
:44:50
We were talking of passports.
:44:52
Today it's all monopoly.
:44:54
All right, now will you...
:44:56
Can I go into the automobile business
and compete?

:44:59
If I can get in a word!
