The Eichmann Show Page #4

reacts to things said

and done in the court.

Let's go again, gentlemen. Until we

get this running smooth like water.

Feelings that he may try and mask

emotionally may manifest themselves

in a way that he cannot

physically suppress.

You want us to climb into

the glass box with Eichmann and ask:

'What kind of man are you?'

- Exactly.

Gentlemen, I don't believe in monsters

but I do believe that men are

responsible for monstrous deeds.

What transformed this ordinary man

into someone who was capable of

sending hundreds and thousands

of children to their death

while going home every evening and

kissing his own children goodnight?

- A human being like any one of us.

- He is not like us.

I am not Eichmann, Mr Hurwitz.

Under the right circumstances,

anyone is capable of fascist behaviour.

Not I.

- Yaakov, anyone is capable.

- Not I.

- Fruchtman.

- Mr Fruchtman, listen carefully.

You will close production down

and leave Israel immediately.

Who is this?

The trial of Obersturmbannfhrer Eichmann

will not be allowed to take place.

If you don't leave, Mr Fruchtman, your

wife, your children, I will kill them all.

Hello?

Honey... I won't make it home

for supper tonight.

- I have some things to run through here.

- Ok.

- How are the kids?

- The kids? Fine.

How are things there?

How is Leo getting on?

He's putting them through their paces.

- How are you?

- Fine. We're good.

- The kids?

- Yeah, the kids are good.

- How's the apartment?

- The apartment? In what sense?

Generally.

I think the apartment's fine, Milton.

You want me to go and ask it?

- You have got these calls before?

- I received a few in New York

when it was announced that

I was to produce this show.

A couple of crank letters

to Capital Cities' office.

Nazi bullshit.

Should I warn my people?

It would alarm them unnecessarily.

I will add to the security presence

in your building.

And my family?

- I will take care of it.

- How?

By taking care of it.

I want to talk to you about

your cameraman, Millek.

Ok, gentlemen - and lady -

sssh - thank you.

As some of you may know

this afternoon we learned that the Israeli

authorities have revoked their permission

for Millek to

operate in the courtroom.

Why?

I am a member of the Israeli

Communist Party who

may, in their mind, wish

to attack Eichmann.

Who in their right mind wouldn't want to

attack the bastard? Doesn't mean they will.

I might jump from my box

with a knife between my teeth.

Alright, thank you,

thank you, thank you.

I have tried to explain

at great length that

Millek has no desire

to attack Eichmann

and every desire to see him

stand trial for his crimes.

But to no avail.
