We weren't sucking up. We like Geoffrey.
:06:05
(applause)
:06:06
- Shouldn't we...?
- Not on your life.

:06:09
- It was hardly a lifeboat evening.
- Portentous.

:06:12
But when Geoffrey called
and asked us to take him for dinner,

:06:16
he made a pattern in life's tea leaves,
because who wants to go to banks?

:06:22
Why do you stay in South Africa?
:06:23
One has to stay there
to educate the black workers.

:06:27
We'll know we've been successful
when they kill us.

:06:31
- Planning the revolution to destroy you.
- Putting your life on the line.

:06:35
You don't think of it like that.
I wish you'd visit.

:06:37
Oh, but we'd visit you
and sit in your gorgeous house,

:06:41
planning visits to the townships,
demanding to see the poorest of the poor.

:06:46
"Are you sure they're the worst off?
I mean, we've come all this way."

:06:50
"We don't want to see people just mildly
victimised by apartheid. We want shock."

:06:56
It doesn't seem right sitting on
the East Side talking about revolution.

:07:00
Only small, murky cafés
for Pépé le Moko here.

:07:03
No. No. La Pasionaria. We'll build
barricades and lean against them, singing.

:07:09
- And the people will follow.
- Follow, follow, follow. What is that song?

:07:13
It's our role in history,
and we offer ourselves up to it.

:07:17
It's your role in history, it's not our role.
The Fantasticks.

:07:21
Follow, follow, follow, follow
:07:23
A role in history - to say that so easily.
:07:26
To lead the people. Like Lech Walesa
and the striking shipyard workers.

:07:32
Gorbachev urging on
the striking coal miners.

:07:35
The phrase "striking coal miners" -
:07:37
I always picture these very striking
coal miners modelling the fall fashion.

:07:50
- Why is there a statue of a husky?
- Another drink before we...?

:07:54
Where shall we?
God, the restaurants in New York.

:07:57
It's like Florence in the 16th century -
genius on every corner.
