Daniel Grudge:
Get out.
Fred:
Merry Christmas, by the way.
Daniel Grudge:
Yes, so it is. And tonight, especially tonight, I'm in no mood for the brotherhood of man. Do you mind? I've heard that speech - and heard it. Oh, I've had it with you, Fred. With all of you, I've had it - right up to here.
[brings his hand up to his neck]
Daniel Grudge:
Mind your own business - and let everybody else mind their's! Your responsibility happens to be your classroom. *Not* classrooms in Cracow, Poland; Butte, Montana; or Johannesburg, South Africa. Do you insist upon making it a better world? Won't you die happy until you do? Do you insist on helping the needy and oppressed? Is that some kind of an itch that you can't stop scratching? Then, tell them to help themselves. Let 'em know the cash drawers closed and make 'em believe it! You'll be surprised how much less needy and oppressed, the needy and oppressed turn out to be. But, you've heard that one before - and heard it! No, I can't change you. And you can't change me. So just, stay out of my way, Fred. Out of my house - and out of my life.

drown out the hunger cries
00:00:03.637 --> 00:00:06.272
that fill the air around you
00:00:06.339 --> 00:00:08.041
How do you create
00:00:08.042 --> 00:00:09.742
this exact science
00:00:09.809 --> 00:00:10.977
whereby
00:00:10.978 --> 00:00:12.145
you disinvolve yourself
00:00:12.245 --> 00:00:13.813
from all the anguish of the world
00:00:13.913 --> 00:00:16.349
that doesn't happen to be in your direct line of vision
00:00:16.449 --> 00:00:18.468
That doesn't take a special
00:00:18.469 --> 00:00:20.486
breed of man at all Mr Grudge
00:00:20.586 --> 00:00:22.989
That is man in his normal condition
00:00:23.999 --> 00:00:24.791
No
00:00:24.857 --> 00:00:25.858
No man isn't cruel
00:00:25.959 --> 00:00:27.527
I don't think I'm cruel
00:00:27.528 --> 00:00:29.999
but we can't
00:00:29.162 --> 00:00:30.597
At least at least I can't
00:00:30.598 --> 00:00:32.999
spend my time grieving
00:00:32.131 --> 00:00:33.075
because part of the world is
00:00:33.751 --> 00:00:35.368
rich and part of it is poor
00:00:35.468 --> 00:00:36.753
because part of it has
00:00:36.754 --> 00:00:38.999
and part of it has not
00:00:38.137 --> 00:00:40.573
But we see when we actually see
00:00:40.574 --> 00:00:43.003
human beings in want
00:00:43.109 --> 00:00:45.445
we react we respond
00:00:47.313 --> 00:00:48.498
Is that a fact

Daniel Do you insist upon making it a better world
00:00:56.155 --> 00:00:57.407
Won't you die happy
00:00:57.408 --> 00:00:58.658
until you do
00:00:58.725 --> 00:01:01.001
Do you insist upon helping the needy and oppressed
00:01:01.127 --> 00:01:02.829
Then tell them to help themselves
00:01:02.895 --> 00:01:04.044
Let them know the cash drawer is closed
00:01:04.464 --> 00:01:05.565
and make them believe it
00:01:05.001 --> 00:01:08.006
You'll be surprised how much less needy and oppressed
00:01:08.134 --> 00:01:09.486
