1 00:00:00,786 --> 00:00:03,496 You just married into that family. Just by marrying the son of a bitch, 2 00:00:03,636 --> 00:00:06,371 you got a car, a house; you don't have to work anymore. 3 00:00:06,511 --> 00:00:09,343 You've got all of that for nothing. Is that right? 4 00:00:09,483 --> 00:00:12,156 When you went to university, did you pay for it, or did your dad? 5 00:00:12,296 --> 00:00:15,380 "Well, my dad paid for it." Then you got that for nothing, 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,620 just by being born to the right father; 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,133 but you don't want anybody else to get anything for nothing. 8 00:00:20,273 --> 00:00:24,389 You people that were born in America inherit the railways. 9 00:00:24,968 --> 00:00:28,059 They're all here. Automobiles are here. You didn't make the telephone. 10 00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:31,249 Just being born here, you got all that for nothing. 11 00:00:31,389 --> 00:00:33,897 In my day, we had covered wagons. 12 00:00:34,037 --> 00:00:37,177 We didn't have all the highways and all the things that are available. 13 00:00:37,317 --> 00:00:40,423 So, I'm saying that we get a lot for nothing, just being born here. 14 00:00:40,563 --> 00:00:43,070 If you were born in India, Ceylon, 15 00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:45,791 you'd be crawling in the muck. 16 00:00:45,931 --> 00:00:50,726 Getting things for nothing is not bad; it doesn't hurt anybody, 17 00:00:51,310 --> 00:00:54,338 and these people that are giant corporation owners get up 18 00:00:54,478 --> 00:00:57,635 and say "All you people want things for nothing." When you die, 19 00:00:57,775 --> 00:01:00,404 are you going to leave your money to research, 20 00:01:00,544 --> 00:01:02,755 or to your son or daughter? 21 00:01:02,895 --> 00:01:05,200 What the hell have they done for it? See what I mean? 22 00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:09,466 Being born to very wealthy parents gives you a lot. 23 00:01:10,275 --> 00:01:12,908 Just being born, you get for nothing. 24 00:01:13,048 --> 00:01:15,247 Mothers sometimes talk as though they engineered the child. 25 00:01:15,387 --> 00:01:18,326 They shake their head "I gave it life and it bloomed." 26 00:01:18,466 --> 00:01:20,668 They do nothing; just walk around, and 'clunk' out it comes, 27 00:01:20,808 --> 00:01:22,825 whether you want it or not. 28 00:01:22,965 --> 00:01:24,852 Some guy has an orgasm. He's fucking, 29 00:01:24,992 --> 00:01:27,321 has a brilliant time, and pretty soon the guy says 30 00:01:27,461 --> 00:01:30,139 "You're gonna have a bright baby." "You're my son!", 31 00:01:30,279 --> 00:01:32,982 like he made it. He went in the shop, and he sawed out the eyes 32 00:01:33,122 --> 00:01:36,136 and molded them. He'd been in and gone, even farted and belched, 33 00:01:36,276 --> 00:01:38,764 and didn't want the kid who would come along anyway. 34 00:01:38,904 --> 00:01:42,350 Now, parents do nothing, unless they work on the kids: 35 00:01:42,490 --> 00:01:44,795 unless they try to make you self-sufficient 36 00:01:44,935 --> 00:01:47,471 and show you that they have problems, that sometimes they're wrong. 37 00:01:47,611 --> 00:01:51,839 Sometimes they don't understand things. When parents talk like that they're terrific: 38 00:01:51,979 --> 00:01:54,696 "Sure I've got problems occasionally, but I know how to handle them." 39 00:01:54,836 --> 00:01:58,000 When a kid comes over and says "Are you the smartest daddy in the world?" 40 00:01:58,140 --> 00:02:01,603 You say "I can tell you how far the moon is, how long it takes to get there. 41 00:02:01,743 --> 00:02:04,244 I don't know where the hell I put my eyeglasses." 42 00:02:04,384 --> 00:02:07,773 Now, you say the same thing "Was Einstein very smart?" 43 00:02:07,913 --> 00:02:12,211 He could tell you how much the planets would vary in their orbit in 10,000 years, 44 00:02:12,351 --> 00:02:14,641 but he never knew where his tie was; 45 00:02:14,781 --> 00:02:16,730 couldn't find it; looked all day long for it. 46 00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:19,335 One day, he had to lecture at one of the universities, 47 00:02:19,475 --> 00:02:21,473 and he put on some baggy pants. A guy says 48 00:02:21,613 --> 00:02:24,035 "You can't go and lecture with those pants." 49 00:02:24,175 --> 00:02:26,318 He says "What's the matter with them? They're clean." 50 00:02:26,458 --> 00:02:30,405 The guy says "There's no crease in them." He says "What's the crease for? 51 00:02:30,545 --> 00:02:33,595 "What was that?" "What's it for? 52 00:02:34,047 --> 00:02:37,731 As long as you're wearing clean pants." Some asshole worked on a crease. 53 00:02:37,871 --> 00:02:40,349 Now we won't go out without that crease. 54 00:02:40,489 --> 00:02:44,418 How can you go out without your hair done up a certain way? 55 00:02:44,558 --> 00:02:48,227 I'm just telling you, people are brought up to be stupid, insane. 56 00:02:48,367 --> 00:02:52,605 Another interesting thing about Einstein: he had an ordinary-looking house 57 00:02:52,745 --> 00:02:54,980 near Princeton, New Jersey; 58 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,130 and the goddam hedges were growing all over the place. 59 00:02:58,270 --> 00:03:00,860 When he first moved in the neighbors were very mad. 60 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,731 "The goddam guy won't cut his hedges, and the grass is wild." 61 00:03:04,871 --> 00:03:07,749 They all got mad, until they found out Einstein lived there. 62 00:03:07,889 --> 00:03:12,206 Then they'd drive to their house "See those hedges? That's Einstein's house." 63 00:03:12,346 --> 00:03:15,216 In other words, if Rockefeller, Howard Hughes wears a torn, dirty shirt, 64 00:03:15,356 --> 00:03:17,898 farts and belches, they think "He's a millionaire; he's eccentric." 65 00:03:18,038 --> 00:03:21,871 If you do it, you're a goddam bum, do you understand? 66 00:03:22,011 --> 00:03:26,860 So these people up there that you admire are not much better than anybody else. 67 00:03:27,590 --> 00:03:31,806 The kind of things most of you believe in are wrong. That's why you're in trouble, 68 00:03:31,946 --> 00:03:36,715 but if you learn how to think about the world, in this way, in this sense: 69 00:03:36,855 --> 00:03:39,047 that people are the products of their environment; 70 00:03:39,187 --> 00:03:42,107 you can raise a dog full of hate or love; you can raise children 71 00:03:42,247 --> 00:03:45,165 so they love people, but don't blame anyone for anything. 72 00:03:45,305 --> 00:03:47,720 There will be no prisons in the world we talk about. 73 00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:51,507 There will be no hatred, no jealousy. And I'll show you what love is. 74 00:03:51,647 --> 00:03:55,810 If you are my wife and I'm in love with you, and you want to run off to the milkman, 75 00:03:55,950 --> 00:03:59,963 I'll help you pack. Is that what you really want? I'll help you pack. 76 00:04:00,103 --> 00:04:04,326 "You goddam two-timin' son of a bitch. I'll get a drink!" 77 00:04:04,466 --> 00:04:08,445 You're going to get a drink? There's no problem solving; we get pissed off. 78 00:04:08,585 --> 00:04:12,814 Because, if you want the milkman, it means that you don't want to be married to me. 79 00:04:12,954 --> 00:04:14,737 It must mean that, right? 80 00:04:14,877 --> 00:04:18,266 Now, when you go off with the milkman, if I love you, I will help you pack. 81 00:04:18,406 --> 00:04:20,975 Can you understand that? 82 00:04:21,115 --> 00:04:24,558 And I say "Honey, why don't you take this paper toy. You've always liked that too." 83 00:04:24,698 --> 00:04:27,661 Oh no, don't try to do that! You say "Well, why are you doing all these things?" 84 00:04:27,801 --> 00:04:30,059 "Because I love you." That's what love is. 85 00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:34,472 The other kind of shit: "You two-timin' cunt! [grumbling]", 86 00:04:34,612 --> 00:04:38,610 and a normal person gets so fucking uptight that they don't know mercy. 87 00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:41,375 [grumble] He drinks that shit, and it knocks him out. 88 00:04:41,515 --> 00:04:45,717 Excuse me if I break any bones. A drunk, I swear to God, he comes in and says 89 00:04:45,857 --> 00:04:50,450 "Move your ass, silly fuck. Move over." He could never say it sober. 90 00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:54,397 "Move your fucking things over, piece of shit." He gets temporary relief. 91 00:04:54,537 --> 00:04:58,199 Let me tell you, if that guy that's so uptight didn't drink, 92 00:04:58,339 --> 00:05:01,860 he'd crash man, you know what I mean? So he goes to AA. 93 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,703 Everybody gets up and confesses. "I've lost my home, I lost my car, 94 00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:10,999 and I lost my job. I stopped drinking now. 95 00:05:11,139 --> 00:05:14,272 I've been sober two weeks." You know the guy I mean, don't you? 96 00:05:14,412 --> 00:05:17,782 "I want my family back." That's bullshit: same old. 97 00:05:17,922 --> 00:05:21,860 The only thing they have in AA, is just a lot of people standing around with the same story. 98 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,741 They forgive each other. Normal people don't forgive. 99 00:05:24,881 --> 00:05:28,084 When a guy says "I'm through with drinking. I've had it. 100 00:05:28,224 --> 00:05:30,751 I lost my home. I'm gonna be sober." The guy takes him in the house. 101 00:05:30,891 --> 00:05:33,074 Three days later, he's lying in bed dead drunk. 102 00:05:33,214 --> 00:05:36,208 The guy says "I thought you said you were going to be sober?" He doesn't understand 103 00:05:36,348 --> 00:05:39,609 that circumstances put the guy in a drinking position. 104 00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:43,345 So what we want to do is get people to understand 105 00:05:43,485 --> 00:05:48,001 that when you get uptight, he's got to have five drinks, and that softens him up. 106 00:05:48,141 --> 00:05:52,102 This guy never drinks, and when he gets uptight, he gets [???], 107 00:05:53,268 --> 00:05:57,318 and when she gets uptight, if she don't drink, and she don't get [???]: 108 00:05:57,458 --> 00:06:02,385 (sound of retching), ulcers. When you get uptight: "migraines, ah shit." 109 00:06:02,525 --> 00:06:05,453 So everybody manifests it in a different way. 110 00:06:05,593 --> 00:06:08,132 So, we are all fucked up; that's not part of the thing. 111 00:06:08,272 --> 00:06:10,474 Stop looking for the great thing, 112 00:06:10,614 --> 00:06:13,393 this wonderful person that's going to lead you through life. 113 00:06:13,533 --> 00:06:16,643 The only thing you can have is what you can give in a relationship. 114 00:06:16,783 --> 00:06:20,000 The way things work out is always perfectly right. 115 00:06:20,477 --> 00:06:24,826 Here's what it means: it means that lions might jump on a zebra and eat it. 116 00:06:24,966 --> 00:06:27,491 Under those conditions, that's what they do. 117 00:06:27,631 --> 00:06:31,811 Now, in our lousy school books, they tell us that those are wild animals, 118 00:06:31,951 --> 00:06:36,132 and that's nature. That's a lie. 119 00:06:36,272 --> 00:06:39,935 How many of you saw the movie "Born Free?" Can you raise your hand? 120 00:06:40,075 --> 00:06:43,520 A family raised a lion, and it wouldn't bite or hurt anybody. 121 00:06:43,660 --> 00:06:46,860 Remember that? Then they turned it lose 122 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,969 and a wild boar ran into him "bam" and the lion ran away and wouldn't fight. 123 00:06:51,490 --> 00:06:56,334 There are no natural enemies. You can bring up a deer, a lion, a bear together. 124 00:06:56,474 --> 00:06:58,917 If you feed them together, they don't fight with each other. 125 00:06:59,057 --> 00:07:01,425 But if you feed one dog; if you've got two dogs, 126 00:07:01,565 --> 00:07:05,176 and you feed one dog, the other one gets angry. 127 00:07:05,316 --> 00:07:08,071 Jealousy is made by man. 128 00:07:08,211 --> 00:07:11,607 If I have two children, two little boys, or a boy and a little girl, 129 00:07:11,747 --> 00:07:15,072 and I pick up the little girl and say "You are the angel of the family," 130 00:07:15,212 --> 00:07:17,612 and the little boy stands there and says "Can you pick me up?" 131 00:07:17,752 --> 00:07:20,387 and I say "No, you're the older boy. You go out and play." 132 00:07:20,527 --> 00:07:23,205 Once I pick up the little girl and say "Isn't she the pretty one," 133 00:07:23,345 --> 00:07:26,297 when the relatives come in, that makes jealousy in that baby. 134 00:07:26,437 --> 00:07:28,858 So, whenever you have a kid, put the little boy on your lap, 135 00:07:28,998 --> 00:07:31,709 and take the little girl up on your lap, and say "This is your little sister. 136 00:07:31,849 --> 00:07:34,041 You want to take care of her." Pick them both up. 137 00:07:34,181 --> 00:07:37,059 Never in a classroom say: "You come to the head of the class. 138 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:39,523 You've done very well. And you're the dummy." 139 00:07:39,663 --> 00:07:41,750 Once you do that, and the rest of the class laughs, 140 00:07:41,890 --> 00:07:46,631 he becomes anti-social, angry. We make people what they are. 141 00:07:46,771 --> 00:07:49,806 They are not naturally any way, any more than animals are. 142 00:07:49,946 --> 00:07:53,459 Now one day they did a fantastic experiment, and this is the conclusion. 143 00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:58,041 They took a deer, a wolf, a rabbit, etc., and put them all in the same area, 144 00:07:58,181 --> 00:08:01,553 but the guy put a little high-voltage unit on the rabbit. 145 00:08:01,693 --> 00:08:03,534 The rabbit came in for the first time, 146 00:08:03,674 --> 00:08:06,016 and the wolf went toward the rabbit, started sniffing and got a shock, 147 00:08:06,156 --> 00:08:08,805 and jumped right off the rabbit. Didn't affect the rabbit. 148 00:08:08,945 --> 00:08:11,289 Then the coyote came and sniffed and got a shock, 149 00:08:11,429 --> 00:08:14,729 and the lion came and got a shock. Then they took the jacket off the rabbit. 150 00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:18,329 That little rabbit would walk up to them and run away, "lalala." 151 00:08:21,535 --> 00:08:23,953 There are no natural enemies. There are no murderers. 152 00:08:24,093 --> 00:08:28,062 There are no bad people. There are just terrible circumstances. 153 00:08:28,202 --> 00:08:31,209 There is one passage in the Bible that very few people understand, 154 00:08:31,349 --> 00:08:34,398 which is useful: "There but for the grace of God go I." 155 00:08:34,538 --> 00:08:38,698 Here's what it means: the circumstances that put you in that situation, 156 00:08:38,838 --> 00:08:42,474 could've put me in that situation, had that situation occurred. 157 00:08:42,614 --> 00:08:44,997 Same concept, that's what it means. 158 00:08:45,137 --> 00:08:48,811 These assholes keep reading the Bible and don't know what they are reading. 159 00:08:48,951 --> 00:08:51,956 They don't understand it. What I'm trying to tell you 160 00:08:52,096 --> 00:08:56,141 is that in the modern scientific approach, this kind of thing I'm talking about 161 00:08:56,281 --> 00:08:59,479 gives you a realistic picture with people. 162 00:08:59,619 --> 00:09:02,854 What you get from people is what they can give. That's the way they are. 163 00:09:02,994 --> 00:09:06,359 If you can live with it, you live with it; and if you can't, don't call them names. 164 00:09:06,499 --> 00:09:08,449 If somebody hurts you in a bad way, 165 00:09:08,589 --> 00:09:11,550 you tell them "That kind of situation is painful to me 166 00:09:11,690 --> 00:09:14,108 in the way I was brought up." 167 00:09:14,248 --> 00:09:16,964 You tell them. If they don't seem to respond, you can't relate to them; 168 00:09:17,104 --> 00:09:20,221 you have to leave.
