:38:03
But when the sun sets
on Denver tonight,
:38:06
and forever more, let it
always set on we the people,
:38:11
secure in our land of the free
and home of the brave.
:38:16
I, for one, plan to do my part.
:38:19
Thank you.
:38:21
[ cheering and clapping ]
:38:24
- Or like when they had
their convention in Colorado,
:38:29
a week, whatever,
the month after Columbine,
:38:30
that was just stupid.
Just don't do that.
:38:31
Of course you have "the right
to," but what are you doing?
:38:34
Upsetting a whole city full of
people, why would you do that?
:38:37
- This is Matt Stone.
He grew up in Littleton
:38:40
and has fond memories
of Columbine.
:38:43
- Yeah, Columbine,
it's just a crappy school
:38:45
in the middle of a bunch
of crappy houses.
:38:47
- Matt and his friend
Trey Parker
:38:49
found a way to take out
:38:51
their anger of being different
in Littleton
:38:54
and turn it not into carnage,
but into a cartoon.
:39:00
"Just another Sunday morning
In my quiet...
:39:06
"Mountain town"
:39:08
[ music ]
:39:10
"You can see your breath
Hanging in the air
:39:13
"You see homeless people
But you just don't care
:39:16
"It's a sea of smiles
In which we'd be glad to drown
:39:19
"It's Sunday morning
In our quiet little
:39:22
"White-bread redneck
mountain town"
:39:24
- Columbine is a normal
high school--
:39:26
- Yeah.
- ...in a normal suburb--
:39:28
- Yeah.
- ...you know, basically.
:39:29
- Yeah. Painfully, painfully,
painfully normal.
:39:31
Just absolutely, painfully,
horribly average.
:39:34
Littleton in general is...
:39:37
I remember being in sixth grade
and I...
:39:41
had to take the math test
to get into Honors Math
:39:43
in the seventh grade.
And they're, like,
:39:45
"Don't screw this up.
Because if you screw this up,
:39:48
you won't get into Honors Math
in seventh grade.
:39:50
And if you don't get in
in seventh grade,
:39:52
you won't in eighth grade,
then not in ninth grade.
:39:54
And 10th and 11th grade
and you'll just die poor
:39:57
and lonely."
And that's it, you know?
:39:58
You believe, in high school -
and a lot of it is kids,
