DAVE:
Why?
MRS. DELLINGER
You taught him to!
DAVE:
Guys. I’ve organized a hundred
protests. This one isn’t going to
be any different in that it almost
certainly won’t work. The police-
MRS. DELLINGER
I’m not worried about the police.
And I’m not worried about Hayden
and Rennie Davis. I’m worried about
Hoffman and Rubin.
6.
DAVE:
It’s the Democratic National
Convention, honey, every camera in
America is gonna be pointed at it
and Daley isn’t gonna let his city
become a theater of war. And
Hoffman and Rubin are geniuses...in
their own special way.
MRS. DELLINGER
Oh Jesus-
DAVE:
(re the SON)
He’s got a Scout meeting tonight at
7.
SON:
Dad-
DAVE:
If the police try to arrest me I’ll
do what I always do and what I’ve
taught you to do, which is what?
(beat)
Which is what? Tell me, bud.
SON:
Very calmly and very politely-
13 INT. BLACK PANTHER HEADQUARTERS -NIGHT 13
BOBBY:
F*** the motherfuckers up.
BOBBY, 32, is talking to his girlfriend, SONDRA, and getting
ready to leave. We’ll get a tour of Panther headquarters-printing
presses, maps, guns, body guards and women, a few of
them white.
BOBBY (CONT'D)
everything’s cool. They tangle,
disrupt, intimidate, they play it
fast and loose with the First
Amendment-
SONDRA:
Robert-
BOBBY:
--they start breaking heads, then
no, we will not be on our way.
7.
Bobby Seale
National Chairman of the Black Panther Party
SONDRA:
You can’t give this speech in
Chicago.
BOBBY:
SONDRA:
Let Fred give the speech.
BOBBY:
Between Hayden and Hoffman there
could be five-thousand people. It’d
be nice to talk to five-thousand
people.
SONDRA:
Not while you’re in trouble in
Connecticut.
BOBBY:
Yes while I’m in trouble in--I’m
the head of the Black Panthers,
Sondra, when the hell am I not
gonna be in trouble?!
SONDRA:
You’re gonna be in a lot more of it
if you stand up and say “Fry the
pigs”!
BOBBY:
“If they attack you”, you’re taking
it out of context.
SONDRA:
America, cops won’t give a sh*t
about context and you don’t have
enough protection in Chicago!
BOBBY:
There’s no place to be right now
but in it.
SONDRA:
But fry the pigs?
8.
BOBBY:
“IF THEY-
SONDRA:
Dr. King-
BOBBY:
--is dead! He has a dream? Well now
he has a f***in’ bullet in his
head. Martin’s dead. Malcolm’s
dead. Medgar’s dead. Bobby’s dead.
Jesus is dead. They tried it
peaceful. We’re gonna try something
else.
(pause)
Sondra, I’ll be there for four
hours, that’s it.
SONDRA takes a pistol from a rack-
SONDRA:
