WOMAN: Hi.
1:09:07
Hi.
1:09:09
I thought that was you.
1:09:11
Yeah... it's me.
1:09:14
[ Woman laughs ]
1:09:16
Well, I'm glad to meet you.
I've seen "The Gong Show."
1:09:20
Oh. Yeah, well...
1:09:23
I think you're the most
insidious, despicable force...
1:09:25
in entertainment today.
1:09:30
How dare you subject
the rest of the world...
1:09:32
to your loathsome views
of humanity?
1:09:35
Yeah... I don't think
it's that loathsome.
1:09:37
What is it, then?
1:09:39
To mock some
poor lonely people...
1:09:40
who are just craving a little
attention in their lives...
1:09:43
to destroy them?
1:09:45
I mean, they're still people.
1:09:47
They still deserve a little
respect and compassion.
1:09:52
Who the hell are you...
1:09:54
and what the fuck
have you ever done...
1:09:56
to elevate yourself
among the pathetic masses?
1:10:00
Oh, that's right.
You created "The Dating Game."
1:10:03
Wow.
1:10:06
That's right up there
with the Sistine Chapel.
1:10:08
[ Drink spills ]
1:10:12
Ladies and gentlemen...
1:10:15
it wouldn't surprise me
to see this next act--
1:10:17
[ Upbeat music begins ]
1:10:19
MAN: Whoo!
1:10:20
That means...
1:10:22
it's Gene Gene,
the Dancing Machine...
1:10:27
and just in time!
1:10:30
[ Gene's dancing music plays ]
1:10:53
FEMALE CRITIC:
He represents more...
1:10:54
than just the decline
of quality television.
1:10:56
In my opinion, Chuck Barris
will do more harm...
1:10:59
to our society
than people seem to realize.
