(Sidney Lumet,
):
Intro : Why do you think the old man might lie? It was just that I looked at him
for a very long time. The seams of his jacket was split, under the shoulder. Or did you notice that?
Middle : He was a very old man

We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad!
