behave yourself, there's nothing wrong.

I'm not putting bad connotations on the

word "freak", you know. I'm just...

Don't you think that the word "freak"

itself has a bad connotation?

It's whatever you think about it.

Last time we saw anything like this was

at the Rose Bowl Parade last New Year's.

That's right.

Like four ice cubes

out of the bag, you know.

They wanted to buy four ice cubes?

Yeah, right.

I don't know, what can you charge

them for ice cubes? You know.

It's a great shot in the arm to Sullivan

County, business-wise.

Something we needed.

As far as whether it will leave a

favorable effect later, besides money...

...we'll know when the festival is over.

Uh, they're beautiful people.

Well is this festival

affecting you in any way?

Well, it's kind of overwhelming us.

Put it this way.

In what way?

Just to take care of,

to try to get the people fed,

I would say is one of the main

objectives here.

I know all these young fellows here,

they've got to be fed

and they're going to get hungry.

I hope that they can bring

enough supplies in for, for...

That seems to be the big trouble.

And traffic, that's... well, you know

yourself without me telling you.

What's it done for business?

Oh, come on.

What's it done?

Increased it about what?

As much as you can do.

Put it this way. And more.

I'll say one thing for the young people.

They've been very nice.

All of them. So far.

It's really amazing. Yet it looks like

some kind of Biblical, epochal...

...unbelievable scene!

They're all, you know, like all...

You see these cars,

they're strewn on the sides of

the roads from the helicopters and...

...in all different angles, you know. They

look like jackstraws and stuff like that.

There is this continual flow of people

just riding the stream.

They're going along and it...

Jerry, it was all frozen.

So let's enjoy. It was all I could get.

Well, I mean, I mean,

from a practical point of view,

what do you think,

how could they limit this crowd?

They didn't want this many people

here, really, I don't think.

So you find the control points at

the beginning of the highways...

...and those with tickets are allowed

in and those without tickets are not.

You have to have some control.

You know, when you

have man-eating...

...Barabunda ants coming over

a hill in South America...

...they want to cut them off and stop

them from coming. They make a ditch...

...they put oil in the ditch and

they make a flame.

Now I'm not saying they should put up

flames to stop the people...

...but there has to be some way of

stopping the influx of humanity.

Uh, in numbers, tell me,

how many do you expect?
