after dinner.

Talking about banning

books again ,

really subversive books,

like The Wizard of Cz,

Diary of Anne Frank.

What happened to you?

The voice is back.

You don't have to build

a football field , do you?

He said , "Ease his pain ."

Ease whose pain?

l asked him . He wouldn't say.

Shoeless Joe's?

l don't think so.

One of the other players?

l don't think so.

This is a very nonspecific

voice out there, and he's

starting to piss me off.

l was having a fun day today,

a good day.

Want a fry?

And l say ,

smut and filth like this has

no place in our schools.

Fascist.

l'd like to ease her pain .

Mrs. Kessinik, Mrs. Kessinik.

That book you're waving about

is hardly smut.

lt's considered by many

critics to be the classic

novel about the 1 960s.

lt's pornography!

No , no . The Supreme Court says

it's not.

And it"s author, Mr. Mann . . .

ls sick !

Terence Mann is

a Pulitzer Prize winner.

He's widely regarded

as the finest satirist

of his time .

He's a pervert!

Probably a Communist, too !

What planet are

these people from?

Mr. Harris, the so-called

novels of Terence Mann

endorse promiscuity ,

godlessness,

the mongrelization

of the races,

and disrespect

to high-ranking officers

of the United States Army .

And that's why right-thinking

school boards

all across the country

having been banning

this man's S-H-l- since 1 969 .

Terence Mann?

You know why

he stopped writing books.

Because he masturbates.

Excuse me, madam .

Excuse me.

Terence Mann was a warm ,

gentle voice of reason

during a time

of great madness.

He coined the phrase,

"Make love, not war."

While other people

were chanting ,

"Burn , baby, burn ,"

he was talking about love

and peace and understanding .

l cherished his books,

and l dearly wish

he had written more.

Maybe if you had experienced

even a little bit of the '60s,

you might feel

the same way, too.

l experienced the '60s.

No, you had two '50s

and moved right on

into the '70s.

Annie, look at this.

Your husband plowed

under his corn and built

a baseball field .

Now, there's

an intelligent response.

The weirdo.

Annie. . .

Honey, it's all right.

l'll be cool .

At least he is not

a book burner, you Nazi cow.

At least l'm not married

to the biggest horse's ass

in three counties.

All right, Beulah ,

do you want to step outside?

Fine !

RAY:
Annie.

All right, honey.

l've got a better idea.

Let's take a vote.

Who's for Eva Braun?

Who wants to burn books?

Who wants to spit on

the Constitution of the U nited

States of America? Anybody?

All right. Now,

who's for the Bill of Rights?

Who thinks freedom

is a pretty darn good thing?

Come on ! Come on !
