- You're late.
- Lucy and l kept talking.

:00:23
l didn't realise how late it had got.
:00:26
You missed a very dull
TV show about Auschwitz.

:00:30
More gruesome film clips,
and more puzzled intellectuals

:00:35
declaring their mystification over
the systematic murder of millions.

:00:39
The reason why they can never answer
the question ''How could it happen?''

:00:43
is that it's the wrong question.
:00:45
Given what people are, the question is
''Why doesn't it happen more often?''

:00:49
- Of course, it does, in subtler forms.
- l have a headache from this weather.

:00:58
lt's been ages since
l sat in front of the TV,

:01:01
just changing channels to find something.
:01:04
You see the whole culture:
:01:07
Nazis, deodorant salesmen,
:01:10
wrestlers, beauty contests,
the talk show...

:01:14
Can you imagine the level of
a mind that watches wrestling?

:01:18
But the worst are the fundamentalist
preachers: third-rate con men

:01:23
telling the poor suckers that watch them
that they speak for Jesus.

:01:27
And to please send in money.
Money, money, money.

:01:31
lf Jesus came back and saw
what's going on in his name,

:01:35
- he'd never stop throwing up.
- Oh, God, would you please lighten up?

:01:39
l'm really not in the mood to hear
a review of contemporary society again.

:01:45
- You've been very nervous lately.
- l can't take this any more.

:01:49
l'm trying to complete an education
l started five years ago.

:01:52
l'm not your pupil. l was, but l'm not.
:01:55
When you leave the nest, l want you
to be ready to face the real world.

:01:58
We're going to have to
make some changes.
