Hi, Mom!

who cracked under
the pressures of our society.

1:20:05
You know, we have such
intense materialistic pressures,

1:20:09
and there's such a tremendous gap
1:20:12
between those who make it
and those who don't.

1:20:15
And you feel most definitely
that that frustration

1:20:17
is the kind of thing
that is taken out here.

1:20:19
It's the kind of thing...
1:20:21
We're raised on violence
in America, you know?

1:20:23
People are... all these toy guns,
and the war in Vietnam...

1:20:27
- Excuse me, sir.
- Excuse me, what is your name?

1:20:30
My name is Jon Rubin, sir,
and I just came back from Vietnam.

1:20:33
I spent 18 months over there,
and I'd just like to say that...

1:20:36
What were you doing over there?
Would you mind telling us what...?

1:20:38
I happen to be a demolition expert.
1:20:40
You might be able
to give us some clue.

1:20:43
We've been trying to determine the...
1:20:45
As a matter of fact,
I was noticing this building,

1:20:47
getting away from that,
and it looks like a pretty good job.

1:20:50
Uh, you know, I hate to say it,
1:20:52
but it looks like it was
done by an expert, at least.

1:20:55
I'd just like to say, sir,
I'm just sick of this...

1:20:57
- Well, please, we're on the air.
- Sorry, sir, that's the way I feel.

1:21:00
I'm just kinda annoyed
1:21:02
about the fact that, well,
I just come back from Vietnam

1:21:05
after we kinda, you know,
sweep up the country there.

1:21:08
We've got 500,000 men over there,
1:21:10
and then we come back
to this country, and what do we see?

1:21:12
We see some kind of mess
on the floor, and people killed...

1:21:16
I mean, a fellow like this
has never seen any...

1:21:17
You haven't seen any action.
You ever been in the Army?

1:21:19
You ever been over in Korea
or Vietnam or in the Second War?

1:21:21
You haven't seen what I've seen.
1:21:23
I've seen arms shot off.
I've seen faces blown up.

1:21:27
- I've seen... taken off.
- Hey.

1:21:29
I'm sick of all that...
I'm sick of all that...

1:21:32
Excuse me, please, we have to...
1:21:34
I'm sorry.
1:21:35
We have to...
I-I don't mean to push you,

1:21:36
but we have to get off the air now.
1:21:38
Do you have anything
you might just like to say in summary?

1:21:40
Well, I would like
to say something, if you don't mind.

1:21:43
No, of course not.
1:21:44
I'd like to say hello to my mother,
if you don't mind.

1:21:46
Uh... of course.
1:21:48
Thank you. Hi, Ma!
