national educational television reasons et thomas alike a man with an ornament bring a citizen idea breaks into your head the mud out at odds and maybe they don't like a sleepwalker and start writing a pamphlet that it don't you think it's a citizen's duty to share a new idea what a public the public doesn't need new ideas the public is much better off with all of it is you're not even embarrassed to say that look i'm only the south once and for all you're always barking about authority if you don't already to prosecute you nothing is the ultimate respect what you decide to revolt against your superiors or it might be bought my book of a predator you anymore i've drawn to the stage or playing for here and now i'm going to give you an older and i want you as your superior when i give an order you all day
christian i'm not at sea and certainly fastest new epa don't get you anywhere voyage that i don't know
it's both the other kinds of business to attend to all that's not true is that is a colonia roma new knowledge of the buildings here and accosted be here soon testing for in the kinds of business only reason at the moment but utah new bottles be all of it was very tasty utah wyden to wait sometimes it's taken the boys for a walk supposedly minute right that might go right ahead and always have for a new rule when think of it my wife and i often wonder if your agent just a few
years younger it wasn't nineteen oh seven no no no think you know you just drop but i stick to my age and so he's much more economic news as if you thought that can i threw money out the window or not you can you really no escaping the boys for a walk it's dangerous when the government says another level of it is that song i was held up at the printing shop reading the new ofa on business partly it's about an article for the paper i got i just and my brother has become a very prolific contributor to all what you call it
people's daily the people's daily messengers the doctors sometimes on as a messenger when he wants to uncover the real true fans and subject the truth or yes yes i say that what you have something to nosedive i don't want to think i blame my brother for using your columns missed of stuff after all every performance goes out to the audience and a lonesome most i mean i have nothing against your paper was that i really didn't think so you're a go to sit down saying that i happen to be very proud of the tolerance we have in our town it's magnificent just don't forget that we had because we all believe in the same thing it brings us together here says forensic the springs those are all wonderful news brings they changed the saudis don't want my way guest and springs are going to put this town on the map and there's no question about oh everything is surely ahead real estate is going up
money is changing hands of rio businesses humming band are unemployed right he was a really good summer and sick people will be coming here in kabul says the springs could be a regular fed when you're called back there and for once the wealth of the people in this town won't be the only ones paying taxes on your reservations are really starting to comment coming in everyday looks promising very very promising that's fine then the doctors article dominant oh he's written something that you know it's a piece he wrote during a letter recommending the springs but i let the article live because i was imagining oh no i just thought it would have a bigger effect in the spring when people start planning for the summer oh that's much as though there is not is always so full of ideas about this spring's like every day that you want to be an idea gets a sentence means oh i think it's more than that don't you have wronged dr stockman created just in spring you don't say let me hearing that
one thing that i had a certain modest all the dinosaur that i only met the original idea was it oh my good brother as nevada last friday is all sorts of ideas when it comes to putting them into action in another kind of man but i think at least in this house he didn't want to go and have a bite to read my husband to be home very soon he may be a little something in remarkable ways of the people without background chemical intact why upset yourself why can't you share the artist like gordon brothers the trouble is caught in that segment about interested in sharing with others all nonsense you've always got along better flee with thong right you know
senate how this is really nice about the gunman or nonsense out with a tiny on the table you got the idea of the gathering no one or probably to of course say that they don't know like i don't really motivating fill it what else do you call it follows effect followed them young people can consume all of that food and live why what why didn't want young people eat over the minister of culture that so was the allure of the letters a long time or maybe it's like you and me will be let landon called that people owe don't jump on every minute with you you know your job at your impressions of what you
want is a crowded corner the north for five years like i didn't come back here it's like watching the seven days of creation you things that work and fight for that than usual the men and i wasn't doing well and a good income at some below the value it was that vision that women to install talk and it was pretty tough going on on the time up there now to be able to live like a prince the actress's we had roast beef and wind up with enough leftover zucker job he's one of the studies show a video we've adapted to a large ice bowl or whether they'll have my model and a caption says i'm earning almost as much as we spend and we read why shouldn't i get myself a pleasure that a young interesting you say went off their guns and later we'll talk about that so he was going to print one of your articles well michael's us about this brings about the
river the winter or that one and i don't want that one brigade right now no its avenues that will be very timely under normal conditions maybe so i was abnormal about conditions now i can't say that the right now at least not tonight that could be a great deal of all about conditions and again there could be no big deal and you've managed to some mysterious something wrong and they are not telling me because i we should keep in mind while also chairman of the board of the springs as well as mayor all let's not get into each other's hair or god's sake know i'm on the habit of getting into people's heads or like to underline that everything concerning justin springs would be dealt with in a legally constituted manna from the proper channels and by the legally constituted authorities i can't allow anything done behind my back in a roundabout way that an ingrained tendency to go your own way thomas
and that simply can't go on in a well organized society the individual really must subordinate himself to the overall or more accurately are the authorities who are in charge of the general well well let's plow itself without elizabethan age my dear thomas as the one thing that you will let alone but you'd better watch out because someday you might pay dearly for it by the gentleman thank you yes we do and thoroughly bernard fogle what did you do in this time what does he want from you can expect any given an accounting of every thought i think everyone make until i'm ready to do it why would you get an account now on this litany gotten into your name of income that they lose after a meal like that like a new man and there certainly
was never going to get new editors from the people's daily messenger help the ball it's just as the leader of the moment or the latino his official business and beauty as well let them weak keyboards and why do you i can't really house and suddenly it is beautiful sit down for a great man and yet as that idea what about is mr mike white suspicion of voices it's using our nominee but i don't do anything no boy of his old friend's house and it would look like this one is a visual goodman a blizzard of the minority
vote o what an invention that a new saints two captain i try to be ready next week and then america essence the plan then you will be here for the new elections are going to be another election you know i don't get mixed up in those things you are interested in public affairs at your book frankly i don't understand nothing about it now than july that that's why i'm always so pleased to see you that was aimed at the news should vote even if i don't understand anything about it i understand what you mean by that society captain is like a ship every man to do his part to help navigate the ship but lately all right on short on board ship it doesn't work out solo and he while lying around like visits
well i'm out sleigh well you just don't do that another and i see myself on the great young woman of your authentic i think it myself you do still all thought it would be a new orleans tonight just didn't have time that you don't get it amazing how a month sb one you've been waiting for that moment that it would be a lie backing away and then there's too little again and again about the postman probably one of these out of town patients that much too much of this not the case by the way what happened to that english novel you're going to translate for our ice dancing owing to teaching hebrew school again last night plus high school every day
and every night at higher lessons and i thought oh and maybe that's why i think the view is always been kind of breathless in and i learned it and so when you think i mean she looks tired us feel like a moment where we're getting so much punishment for a city that of course he believes his teacher don't stop important you don't like the work or no so fannie mae and i think to most second they do not just a building so yes i do my god i do i think eventually we'll all be new year was that a moment not thinking about going to a lone live there you
are you don't really think it hurts them listen to such don't know what i don't want is the news in this town news to really discovering that i made really now let the baboons running this town called me a lunatic now i better watch out ah the mighty have fallen it is the general opinion is net that our town has is silent healthy spot of corporate isn't a rather unusually healthy or not a place you'd be recommended not only to all people but sick people and we certainly have recommended that i myself have written and written about it in the people's messenger the world have been doctored the miraculous plays it got such a fortune to build the whole health institute it's a pastoral you know that's built up and win
over the state that has such a stinking smell the cousin the cannery up there and that same damn poisonous mass comes right out into the blessing miraculous water were supposed to cure people wait you mean actually where our beaches are exactly but how can you be so sure i had a suspicion a lot of the long time ago there were too many staircases among the five oil gas for disturbances i remember masses and symphonies and that at the time we thought that the dew drop about that later this winter i got a new idea and i started investigating water working well i sent samples of the water to the university for an executive announced and that's what you're saying this is it it proved the existence of infectious organic matter in the water when they haven't discovered in time that we can say that don't let intended to mount dr what thing right boys and cannot be done if not the whole institute use this but there's nothing to worry about i'm quite clear on what critics would you want me to do well shoot my mom thought they were written you know that's another great
you realize that in the whole water systems that they change their home offices all water system the intake is the most of the re settlement or construction spending reduction you're right after all clapping as she remembers he won course i want to i told him when they started building then they not the border down there by poem i am a scientist to tell politicians where to build it up as a jew well now they're going to get it all about this is a great man it's been to the demands that are reports in the best and i won't happen gentlemen this final approval university and my reports on why the solid explosive pages that fly like to the border with stephan thiel of the main thing i need a white privilege and one of the older than a runaway was what i'm wondering about what annie's a yard began
by that it's an important ideas brought out before we start an epidemic well not a likeable to revive him about this discovery messenger years now it really didn't but as a public want to know so right away we are going to be leading men in this town or was nothing to it every detective gets elected rick watson is like the little as a talented baker doctors attribute all us why we also put up with an edible well you get the world record was demanded reasonable thing right on how the original great on it like friends right there's one was eleven love all others who were the respective one's neighbors is is oh i need to compose
they don't just sit there very with a report using the oh yes as a concept you know well perhaps you remember getting homeland foreclosure well i think of my morning there's a consensus here we have to say why is there any doubt he'll probably gonna make it look as if he'd made his government mean does that make you just a little bit afraid hole underneath you'll be happy
it says the leaders of the demonstrators and the us is something that this is the year that it was you put on the right track while and it may be true what'd it through this crazy story about the water system is a true it's true what you find out about their trek a ride by on the way to school it's more he did it as i thought he was trying to make a lot of people want to do a thing like that nothing pleases young people more than to make for the bubble people thought oh well this is truly more just wrote sanaa pretty lucky they were that either i mean i made a discovery of oil through a talking i never thought you had the imagination to pull your own brothers were like my knees was let go now let me get it straight
here's some kind of a like a cockroach is in the water pipes not at all one whole mess of them at all to be a stalemate and nobody can see them but you is that it isn't it was anybody with a mike what are you laughing at them funny you don't understand about that terry just because you can't see it doesn't mean they're not there yet but my god this is the best thing i have a record of my language of the attorney you think you're going to get your brother appalachian believe this well we'll see so that the curious thing is that crazy i'll pull down will be that crazy howard mcnear they probably are and it'll serve them right to i think always say that so much smarter than us old timers were good brother ordered them to bonds me out of the council's only chased me
out like a doll make jack passes out the wall and stockman yes but more morally a short tale jack asses salt mine if you can make the mayor and his elegant friends grab his bait a couple hundred cows a chair at your right now well that's very kind of new mortgages say well i didn't have much to play around with that if you can go right out from under him with this cockroach business it well at least fifty rounds to charity and maybe this'll teach them to put on brian's back and sybil good morning all over him and it was this one in and its two one sense of course he's good and i guess that he's going to be in the papers i had a hope here's your tie down the corners and you know they can either people or don't waste management or getting it or if only you could see it and this is the
best idea my life your whole budget doesn't believe one more about it was you think you're doing it in at about my brother my daughter you've got a few minutes you're going to have all of that going on it read from the mayor on a video later i've been thinking about that since last i can say for you is a medical man as a scientist this is really a rare opportunity that i've been wondering if you realize it ties in with a lot of other thing is when you make a stop last night he said the water came from impurities in the ground it comes from a poisonous job open window valley doctor i think it comes from an entirely different done the same job that's been poisoning and polluting our entire social life and style that's when i knew that you know everything that matters in this
town has fallen into the hands of a few bureaucrats well they're not all your friends the rich although regular lanes and i got everything a comment yes but they happen to have a bill that the analogy did they show ability and knowledge when they decided to build a water system when they did know of course not but that happened to be a blunder and we'll get up now you really imagine is going to be as easy as all that after i decided to give this whole scandal very special treatment the way that they get caught just cannot do when i took over the people's messenger i swore i'd blow that smug about old self satisfied obese a bit and this is a story they can do yes but guys do think we owe the beat of gratitude from buildings right well the mayor being you're rather i ordinarily wouldn't want to touch it but i know you'd never let that kind of thing obstruct the truth i want you to understand me i come from a very simple family i
know in my bones what the underdog meets he's got to have a say in the government a society that's what brings out i believe the intelligence and self respecting people i understand i've been a newspaperman who turns down an opportunity to give the underdog the left is taking on the responsibility that i don't what i know perfectly well in fancy circles i call an agitation and they can call it anything they like but i have my own conscience i agree with but this is only the water supply and that ended up terrifying true also its interview looking for me the word i want to see the doctor what can i do oh is it true doctor but i'm here to believe that you intend to campaign for a better water system or yes for the health insecurity but it's not a cafe i just wanted to call and tell you that we have behind you one hundred percent there you see cirrhosis and i thank you with all my heart that we could be
important when the little businessman wants to push something through he turns out to be the majority you know and it's always good to have the majority on your side well that's certainly true but there i don't understand what this is all about seems to me a simple straightforward matter the watchlist we intend to be a blip moderation that i always try to be moderately carefree oh you're known for that at houston springs of becoming a goldmine for this time especially for the little business and that's why in my capacity as chairman of the property owners association and furthermore as a representative of the temperance society you probably know that too that i am active for prohibition know so i worked as a result i come into contact with all kinds of people and since i have known to be a law abiding and solid citizen i have a certain authority in this town you might even call her a little power i know that very well missiles and that's
why you can see it would be practically nothing for me to arrange a demonstration then stretch of what you're gonna demonstrate about the citizens of the town complimenting you for bringing this important matter get everybody's attention obviously it would have to be done with the utmost moderation so as not to hurt the authorities the state not the big bellies partridge family discussion or extreme aggressive toward the authorities was that i don't want any wild eyed radicalism and this thing i've had another that in my time and no good ever comes of it but for a good solid citizen to express to scam frank and free opinion is something nobody can deny why do or six and i can tell you our partners made is that support i'm happy i really am i'm happy i'm a member of the temperance society i don't think i can go quite that
good well and i want to remember that the little man is behind you know you have a silent majority on your side because when the man takes all of it without the city and the day and i you know i just have one or two things to listen to here well what you say to a little hypodermic lilies and sitting deadheads everybody's afraid they know perfectly well it's like that there were three what i think that was actually a very sincere there isn't the time we come to little got seventies well intentioned man of goodwill under other liberal talk they still idolize a party that's going to be ruled out at this time this one drop the water system has to be made clear to every voter you can print your report of an editorial in the meantime and the mayor will go along with as well you might if that should they believe a doctor it's entirely possible look
you along with it i promise you that he would make that my report every word of it on your word of honor but they're taking an awning argued read it return it to me later in the day and we'll see if it had anything vital substance of latinos and zeroes off today oh well that happens will remain at ralphs and i just had a long shadow of these really fascinating discovery you know this thing has more implications and i thought at first you know and i have backing me up watching haven't named you had back then you are the silent majority is apple and good wonderful you can imagine the feeling to know that your own town feels like a brother to
and belts and almost thousands of more interest is that right good morning good morning nice to see of it now are new world sos i received your thesis about the conditions of the spring i thank you know the reading yes i read well what he had to say excuse us are we going to go and promise was really necessary to go into this investigation beyond my back yet so what is now you are convinced thank you university campus of corroborated nintendo present this document of the volatility is officially a medical officer in the spring of course something's gotta be done and
then quick as you always used such strong expressions among other things the report you say that we guarantee our guests and businesses a prominent case of poison is but would you describe that imagined poisoned internally and extra so you know to conclude we build a waste disposal plant and reconstruct our entire water system from the bottom up you know some other way i don't thomas i took a little walk this morning after the city engineer and the course of our conversation i jokingly mentioned these changes as something we might consider for the future you know the future will be set up here in sydney a kind of smiled at my expense and he gave me a few facts i don't suppose you've taken the trouble to consider what your proposed changes would cost you know i never thought that naturally dollar project would come to at least three hundred thousand crowded
and expensive public so upset it's only monday the worst part of it is it would take some two years to hear at least what you propose we do about the springs in the meantime shut them up because we have to assume was the rumor gets around the water is davis we won't have a visit her neck that's thomas menino power to literally ruined your own town look i don't want to ruin anything thomas i don't report hasn't convinced me that the conditions are as dangerous differently about this and they're even worse than my reporting i remember a summer is coming or whether i think you exaggerated after all a capable position ortho what precautions to take and then what the
existing water supplies for the springs are affected and they've got to be treated as a fact now if you're reasonable and act with dispatch the board of directors will be inclined to take into consideration any means to reasonably and without financial sacrifices made possible improvements dear god you imagine for one minute that i would ever agree to fish for it truthfully as a treaty ally of fraught a downright crime against the public as a whole community i said before that i'm not convinced that was in the actual dream boy you are anything else is impossible my report is an absolute fact the only trouble is that you and your administration other ones who insisted on building the water supply where it is and how you're afraid you're not the one who committed to hold on to that i figured that all right let's suppose that is maybe i don't know a little about my reputation but i still say i do it for the good of the tarp without moral authority there can be
no government that is why thomas it is my duty to prevent your report from reaching the border sometime later i will reopen out of a discussion in the meantime not a single word is to reach the public oh mike do you might you can prevent that little bit and it that they need to make people already know about oh you can't possibly most people from the billing isn't exactly a liberal press will stand up until its duty thomas you're an unbelievably irresponsible man can you imagine what consequences that's going to have for you what made just for you and your family what the hell you're saying now thomas i believe i have the right to think of myself as a helpful brother you have a ninety degree that i hope that by improving your finances i might be able to prevent them from running completely halt while it was only for your own sect or simply yes what you think people think of a name of an official who's closest relatives get themselves into trouble time and time again
and that's what i've done you can't help feeling like a man with an automatic brain once an idea that india had no matter how idiotic and maybe you get up a sleepwalker and start writing a painfully big don't you think it's a citizen's duty to share a new idea with the public a public doesn't need new ideas the public is much better off with owen it is you're not even embarrassed to say that i'm a promise i'm going to lay this out once and for all your always barking about without amending human ortiz prosecuting nothing is important enough to respect once you decide to revolt against your superiors all right i give up on the goal to try to change it to the stage all playing for you and now i'm going to give you an order and i want you you had better obey the things that your career what kind of an order you are going to deny these rumors officially how you simply say that the woman to the examination of the water more thoroughly and you find that you over estimated the dangers i say and you're convinced
that whatever improvements are necessary and management will certainly taken off from my convictions come from the condition of the water my convictions will change when the water changes and forty all other reason why you're talking about convictions beneficial to get your convictions to them i say what was that something else was a somewhat an employee of the incidents you have no right to express your convictions or personal opinions about policy now you listen to me i am a doctor understand about the institute that life will be a little superior when it bulges you ok what they're used to doing in stopping yeah that makes me very happy you were saying something about forbidding really want it is that in my own face of this is that it owns one was to
always be so colorful and i don't obey them will publish a report of our own to calm the public good enough allegations prove that i'm right and you're wrong when you know that and i simply will not be able to prevent your business what business from the institute that's what i said if youre going to make war on pearson's brings you have no right to bring the board directors you know you want to do it so yeah i know that's not true you are probably the only sane person in this house knock some sensitive is when you make him realize what is driving his family in july vatican says nobody but my circus family and his own castle you the public utility
companies the liberty bell we're getting people all thomas has gone beyond opinions convictions and a man so that kind of insulation around is nothing penetrate the society i don't belong and somewhat on the seven the family but they use that is about it it's got my mind my own portion of selecting from the beginning the gold media traded to society that is that he has all the power on the sideline i have that to my mind we can't tell what goodies the truth is it's ridiculous catherine i have the liberal press behind it and a majority a solid majority what am i not going to fight it out in public with your what the village would you want to do it
they won't do what they won't what we'll end up with a notice to say you why i'm going to do my duty covered they demand he calls a trader joe's says i don't want your duty to heal than the people you're supposed to provide for the worst comes to the worst you can manage but what about the boys tell you and me what about you would you want me to be the miserable animal climb up the bulk of that and then what do we have invited face myself it was my line comments the world is so full of injustice you simply got to learn to live with the oh god help me will have no money again is so since the north that you've forgotten what it was like to live the way we lived and we had another battle one lifetime well weren't you learn anything in school in a new finding
is that say what happened here why have i mean i think you know i'm going to voice now on i'm going to teach you when a man is well maybe yes always think it's
devastating attack is a brilliant man i swear i myself i never really understood how incompetent those back i hear the rumble of revolution should all slick citizens also it's an authentic coward we'd always talk of moderation always a disease yellow sure i'm just waiting until the doctor gives is outward approval and affirm his brother hasn't given and we put on the president yes yes this is about to get pretty rough and doesn't let him try to block that reconstruction the little business then the whole town will be screening for his head also excelsior that but the stockholders are the latter part of this goes through the boy i think it's gonna bust them and when the springs gold busted the people in this town are going to finally understand the level of genius that's been running those five sheets of paper and put a liberal administration in this town once and for all the revolution you know they're on the edge of a real revelation
it was one degree and this is only the beginning you know what do he actually tried to blackmail me is that the nerve to say i'm not allowed to speak my mind about his permission imagine he actually set that right out of my face and really is that i give him credit for being our kind of people but they're the dictators at the booth idaho that would poison the job to do it he'd actually you must always be throwing accusations and witty understand but moderation what you think it's a masterpiece in one blow you manage to prove beyond about what kind of men are running has been reprinted now i should say so we'll have it ready for tomorrow state mr fick when you wanna find paper but to supervise the printing press i'd hate to see the weather report in the middle of my article that was a disadvantage right now is that you're printing money you just can't imagine i'm dying to see it in print after all allies
in the papers the half life of the orderlies to finally see the absolute unvarnished truth about something important and this sort of the beginning we want other said it will block that reliably liberal what is a us citizen just remember that it's not doing it as though i was standing in the middle of an historic meeting got them there's a story that one day this scene lillian and he's an entitled the day the truth was born oh i got it and then the patient i hope you realize how useful the us uses of the beginning letters of that to this brings austen's and what makes you so scared all the time it even know that you are tackling the national government is having one of the things i'm going to start going
out on the town in this what's the difference that is that but there is a difference you'll that the national government what happened nothing there right out of the town whether life will be overthrown or something i represent the little property owners are lots of state property in the truth they don't know mr bailey i'm older than you are i've seen fire years before you know work at your desk before you councilman stansfield council just because i work of renegades that you are a politician in a politician ever knows or even than that and besides you applied for a job as secretary to the magistrate and ballet well why not if i get it as an aggressive defense with a job like i could but plenty of those big boys on the spot on the same people today just remember when you called me a column i may not have made
all the speeches but i've never changed my belief that unlike some of the big radicals around here i didn't change of course i don't see what's so funny about that we could get rid of him it easy because the printing them the groups say well we asked lukman the us that we can really put out a paper moon his father though she you oh since wednesday government i think is largely unknown know really a return the scenes at the same overcoat the saints' super the same line on the right hand the jedi look at the over all year long you are a diamond on the inside but on new year's eve peters in iraq you just figured out a man with no visible means of support what's
a lot of money right so my dog fancy senior his judgment skills can ask you something was that this at least not when one translator if you want under the reforms i don't understand you don't understand what this book is absolutely against everything a people we won't stop it says if you're good that there's a supernatural force that will fix it so you end up happening we punished for things when there's a world like that you know so this is a newspaper people like to read that kind of thing they buy the newspaper for that and then we slip into a political stop you see a newspaper can probably wait a minute i don't want you to go away feeling that way but take this to the printer with him i just want you to stand something
i've never even read that book it was billings it is but he's also chinese well he's that true but what i was going to say is he's trying to get a job as secretary to the magistrate what people are people just not the magistrate who's been fighting everything progress in this town let's not argue about it i just don't want you to get the wrong idea me i guess you know that i happen to admire not very many opportunities to tell you mine that meeting that but that's when i really don't understand me tell me why you're supporting my father what's a mystery it's a matter of principle the paper that you kind of look like that has the principal one you jump to such extremes are just like so you really you know is doing this
something i agree with your father that's why i'm pretty good stuff and nothing would please me more than hold your hand to stop him but i well you were you got me but you don't mind really do you know i try to do with my father you know principals what you want to hear i don't think i've been so frightened in my life oh nice this week the display in a very nice as those i do for your inner circle
i had a very annoying thing happen to me today is that so yes it seems my brother has written some sort of the memorandum about the spring it also as you mentioned do you know oh yes i think he did say something about that that if i don't know i mean it has a look at the predators and here's another thing the printer one of the spelling so that it was just a question as felons of the right under the spelling maybe i can help people know you're listening what an interview with no laughing oh yes i have to help my brother with his lot more time going to print this i can't very well refuse assigned article signed articles the office responsibility is going to allow this also have some of that publishing policies frequently i mean you have the
point i can see my mother's role model but the reconstruction of the springtime will realize it does mean a tremendous sacrifice stockholders all don't look so upset the fasting and maintenance is that the less wealthy can always be prevailed upon them and the spirit of sacrifice for the public audience especially with the wealth that you were going to do this episode what you don't seem to understand what fits in the song if i have met any changes in those bags will be paid for by a municipal owned you mean you're going to tax the people exactly but the stories are a private corporation corporation built the springs with its own money the public wants them changed the public most naturally pay the bill the corporation given the condition of the doubt any more money it simply cannot do it that's impossible the nearest ever now that that
really is is a fractal european all this happens to defect plus a love affair or you'll forgive me for speaking about facts in a newspaper office about the dead the springs will take two years to make all of its two years without income for your small business members thousand plus i have a new tax or signs and all because of this dream this hole is a nation but we live in the past for us based on science this is based on an uneasy the map even the mat with it was well a lot of it has nothing to do with coal more signs of anything else or pure and simple destruction and i intend to sit with that the public understand that exactly so maybe you are you sure you want to support this kind of
stuff frankly i've never thought of it in quite the way i mean when you think about it psychologically it's quite possible that a man may simply be out there i don't know what to say you are i hate to hurt this town in any way i'd never imagined there'd be a new tax revision of imagined it hopes that because you're going to have to advocate unless of course liberal and radical newspaper readers enjoy high taxes but of course you know that that you know i happen to have here a brief story of the true facts that proves that with a little care that nobody really be harmed the old by the war of course and time we have to make a few minor structural changes and we pay for those fancy that i suggest you study results that fancy if you don't like
my brother he passed the correct ones that i didn't find it is a place like this right what do you say i guess not really quite sometime you mind if i wake all this nonsense and that really really quite some time alair with me about that i just get like if you really were very busy here you might actually be a way we're going to make this town shine like they do oh they're walking down the street i was looking at the people in the stories running the wagons and suddenly i was well that's you know by the innocence i mean when i'm writing it is that when this tax
was a great airline to start making a say something oh susan i want you to promise me you're not going to get up a bigger doctor there's no use concealing easy it all of our lives and i think so thomas i want to come home now i want to be a topic that's probably doing something wrong as a somber stockman is the father of three children is the whole novel purity knows that no one would believe it the way you're kind of race into this disaster or business development i think you like this fun and you're trying to make up for what i am not find a job at the springboard to realize that article they would surely an upright copies the lesson is not joe randolph i want to the palm use right right then a man who shares my risk is my friend was a new born on this day when this thing breaks everybody in this town is going to come out into the street and right that pen
ms bustos because blank what the hell is he doing you know you won't get away with it well you i don't really care about the people oily water wasn't enough you're working on the press is a mistake what monson says
this residency i just want you to realize bigger than anyone may where this happened to democracy and a free citizen he's not afraid to touch it and as for the baton of command your honor it could last summer and then so the book yet the people haven't spoken and i have the people because i have a trove of my friends are not scientists gawker we get jobs with your article is really authentic i'm not reading it i'm not going to sacrifice this newspaper on the real story is made clear the public is not going to accept any changes in the springs is are just told us there is it is going to have to be a new tax audience i see and that's why you're suddenly not scientists anymore and that decide whether i'm telling the truth while so i don't think that's
why despite all five through this town like an arrow an identifier we were at a point it will ruin this but they're for the sake of your family who can lead his family out of this god help me what i think you people are hobbled my article if you don't mind the credit is going to forget it and to see my head forget it and you will never forget those long article last meeting and the review will hold an outtake a drama go from strict history proclaiming that this brings up a fallen poisonous rapping the body politic and i believe you really are that mad bad or whatever that you haven't even heard me raise my voice yet i was baron

nice i think we can proceed to the vote what are you going to let me speak at all we're just about the volt and that question the water damage that i have that right yet one order he has stopped in the world that's right and i want to discuss the motion oh i got it as he talks and talks and the talks but not worried about the fact we are just trying to drop everything well judge for yourself but the region now that our taxes or doctor i think the majority wants to take the vote before you start to speak if they so will you can speak otherwise the majority rules you won't deny that
i won't mention the institute i have a new discovery that a thousand times more important all the institutes in the world they have a platform well i don't see how we can deny and that as long as he can finds himself to isis present at the subject before i go into my subject i want to congratulate the liberals and radicals among those like vegetables that what you mean radical what is it you want to call me a rebel you got me there there isn't any evidence i guess there never really was i just wanted to congratulate you on your self control tonight you will have for in every pot over the principles of free speech these many years i believe in democracy when miami is are overwhelmingly against something i'm not going to impose my will on the majority you have to go in my remarks gentlemen ladies this is not going to stop
the night i was struck by a sudden the flesh of like a discovery second or not but before i tend to do a little story i wanted the money is a lot of our country up there the rulers of the world of the great see you gigantic squadrons of duck man lives on ice huddled together in little piles of snow is warlike consists of grubbing for pooled nothing more they can barely speak is a language and it came to me one day that was romantic and sentimental for a man of my education in attending these people not yet reached the stage where they needed adopted it would be told a veterinary would be more in order is that where authorities and hardworking people i expected that my friend i don't think you can fog up my brain without magic word the people not anymore that because there is a mass of organisms with the human shape they do not automatically become up eagle
has to be what is one automatically become a man by adding human shape and living in a house and thinking once they send agreeing with one's neighbors that name also must be done when i gave my conclusion about the water you have no right to mess up pick you think they didn't catch me on a word i'm not going into the springs i became convinced of my theory about the water the authorities want it right away and i said to myself i will fight and that that that because the revolution here he is a revolution of defense i thought to myself the majority i have the majority and let me tell you find that with a brand billy because the reason i came back to this place of my birth is that i wanted to get my education to this town i loved it so i spent months without pay or encouragement and dreamed up albright of their friends and why not as my brother
said so the five gary just of crowded streets but so that we might cure the sick so that we might meet people from all over the world and learn from them and becoming broader and more civilized than other words more like men more like the people you don't like anything about this town to a religious unit i don't admit it i have no reason to resent you right away with a majority right when they refuse to believe that the earth will robinson about a little bigger than the thought it takes that there is a majority to be right the majority is never write a democrat right i want to state right now that although this man has been my friend for many years and it had a stable many times i know cut myself off from a mess
a platoon of soldiers walking down the road toward the enemy every one of them is convinced that he's on the right roll this april but two miles up and stand one lonely man the outpost he sees it the road is dangerous that his comrades are walking into a trap he runs back to find the book isn't it clear that this man must have the right to warn the majority the idea with a majority the five when the majority of the police he has been true before many can know something one must know and it's always the same rights as sacred until it hard for somebody to use them i take i realize that cost is great the inconveniences great it's great i want to walk down
to the platform so i naturally i come down i will not responsible for what happened i want to go home as the jamb and i order you don't make this bigger lead the newspaper that the whole country is one to one this all mozart run out if you're trying to build a town and a morality soul rock level in the country in the world if the only way you can revive his murder of freedom intro and i say with all my heart let it be destroyed but the people of paris is in recess how i would like a silicon valley notion the people assembled here tonight decent and patriotic people in defense of their town and their country declare that dr stockman medical officer of the springs is in any event the book and in his community so do you that very much has the motion any
monies i am one nato and the doctor and what else with all votes against you as a summit formally declares dr thomas not going to be the people that many in the future all dealings with them by bees a patriotic citizen will be on that business is the term a chicken and you have room for some years ago american than economists say that they don't want this where oh no go back to those i don't want to mislead anybody the enemy of the people is not finished in this town not quite yet clear and eight hundred and eighty ha no

nervous i am not nervous you expect me to remain in charge well people are being poisoned thomas and time you can make your changes five years ten years you know you're totally you don't grasp even now there are certain man you can't buy i'm quite capable of understanding that didn't happen to be one of those men remember that where it was on his mind when you're talking all come down five autonomy with that professional tennis where you're talking about you don't know until finally going around all morning buy up stock in pearson's brain sly epstein up stock every single sharing that is hands on but i don't understand that what is that that when they all come now come out what i have a talking about very well if you insist on being dance a man waves
relentless campaign to destroy confidence and a corporation even go so far as to call a mass meeting against the very next morning when people buying up shares about their value my annual got the nerve to speak to me about principles and you actually believe that i am not interested and psychology i believe what i see and what i see is nothing but a man doing the dirty filthy job a more genteel and believe me by tonight every single men in this town will see the same thing to you know sit down and write me a statements denying everything your arrow all creatures all right thomas did it get this tree if your figuring on opening another attack from out of time keepers among the morning it's published i was another subpoena for you and begin prosecution for conspiracy
now all my life i've been trying to make a respectable man out of you know if you want to take the big jump building nobody there will be back we understand each other so we do catherine got to go scrub the floors was done a lot of the president has to get them in the law now what is the moment you you realize how this makes me look at it whispering sea is very easy nervous about an exclamation point thomas
they did you ask my family that but they also lead you they'd love to murder your wet maybe leave you the way they say the pollution is coming down the river from a windmill about that's exactly where it's coming from and that's exactly where my time is what was anonymous interview that the pollution was generally waste and the blaming you it's my fault i didn't take you seriously but it's very serious i get the tenor away from my father my father learned from his father and his father died from my great run we do not intend to all my family's name of the stand for the three generations of murdering angels will poisoned his top i waited a long time for this talk more and i don't think you can stop that from happening but you can i i know these
years because a lot less on your money away this brings i don't have that i didn't have a show my money away the most bees were bought with new money why not but you've probably suspected that i might leave a little something from catherine and the boy's name not really a whole lot i decided this morning to invest that money in the stalk thomas you want this job with catherine's money people call the badger and that's an animal that the roots on things but there's also some kind of a pig i understand i lived at the man and i'm going to die to be you're going to be in my in a forgotten now i want to see if you really belong in a stage i think what is the matter with you know don't get at that
pricing if you should make another investigation of the walk i don't need another investigation leave you think it's over and decide you want to change your opinion of all the while water is poisoned it's poison if you simply go on insisting that the water was poisoned with these in your house and there's only one explanation for you're absolutely crazy you're right i am madam it's a bill must be used to bring the skin off your families back oh man wanting to tell me before you want this job because you would understand it back to that if i told you after a dedication to understand now don't you millions of tons of water run down that way but how do you know the day you made those tests that wasn't something unusual about the war y'all know i took them on a cycle of you know why couldn't those little animals have planted up all in the picture want to use of
their reporting on all the rest of it was unclear if not probable people were getting sick last summer sick before they came in other words it wouldn't have come out with intestinal disease is skin diseases the only place and a buddy gets a belly ache is here now common cause in norway that maybe the ford was that do you think of that would you know i didn't look into the food and what makes usual shortz lot because i tested the water but that you want a lonelier you have some doubt was nothing a hundred percent and there's a lot of that and you have a perfect right to go the other way with a scientific right and did you did you ever think of some disinfectant and that you know you thought of them for a massive oil every day can be now that's science thomas i never liked to row that you have every right to it i
didn't do it because i hate my brother art to be part of that don't deny you admit there's some doubt in your mind of all the water that there may be ways to disinfect it and yet you know when your brother is still the only way to cure the thing was to blow up the whole institute there's a pretty bad boy don't forget these can belong to now so we threw the shoe ever hatred out of utah at southgate in front of years of audio show what really gave huge gamble my family's future on the strength of my convictions and the convictions are not really that still i'm ready to handle my convictions but no man has the right to make models of others my family's innocent so the coaches everyone belongs to our panelist man nobody's going to say mr npr at this town your attract your convictions are these local charity everything you
know something or confident but not much i want my god name it's exceedingly important to me and giving to charity though you know though it was a serious thing to destroy it morton when i look at you i swear to god i see the devil no no please truly intellectuals doctors can we have five minutes nothing to say to you i want an answer right away in today and what's a quick what you want butter we don't expect you to forgive our attitude at the meeting that you don't get why didn't you tell us what was in that you could have had the messenger behind you all the way to that public opinion would you now want to tell us look under attack does not be the rubble even overcome by that stock in this race is no secret anymore well what about if you want me to spell it out for you
i certainly wish you would all right let's lay it on the table back in the beginning we support you we couldn't go on supporting you because in simple language we didn't have the money to withstand the loss in circulation building boycotted now well the paper one of them boycotted two of woodstock why you can see that the door yet but what do you want the people's messenger can't put on such a campaign that you'll be hailed a hero in this town in two months time so we can prove to the public that you had to buy up the stocks because the management would not make the changes necessary for public health in other words you had to do it for absolutely scientific public spirited reeves it's not what you said you want money from his attic well you know don't walk around if we started to support you again dr we'd lose circulation and we'd like you are secure rather to make up a deficit now that's open and about war and i don't see anything wrong that do you remember dr you needed you needed desperately know i don't see anything wrong with the dol over the
cattle enjoy being with us there is one point i hate to keep repeating the same thing but the water's boys and the mayor says he's going to levy a new tax on everybody to pay for the reconstruction i assume you are ready to support that at the same time you're supporting me and that's actually extremely unpopular doctor with you back in charge of as medical officer of the balance we have absolutely no fear that anything could go wrong in other words a gentleman you will clean up my name so that i can take charge of the corruption we can't tackle everything a new tax that the inaugural ticket would ruin the paper and you don't need to do anything about the law and we have to think that you won't get sick and i was stunned when you're looking for some with a blackmailer that they opened the bill we are trying to clear your name dr stockman and if you refuse to cooperate god you know i think we'd better go what we don't
need a man to monitor going to make it was you know what we know now i will say that the public is on this is that what you're going to do the mayor will prosecute you work and stressing to destroy your cooperation and without a paper behind you you'll end up in prison and you're supporting what i wanted from your mom posted this little victory will not deny me tell you off that you're going to go on cruise of it a lawyer that said today he would not leave her until i get this from your mouth you're a madman you're saying when egotism and isolated with humanitarian slogans because amanda would drag his family through a lifetime of disgrace is a demon in his heart dna a daemon who cares more for the purity of the public that then he does for the lives of his wife and children dr stockman you deserve everything that you're going to get much money into months time i promise you your whole life will change he was the

Description
Episode Description
Arthur Miller's adaptation of "An Enemy of the People" by Henrik Ibsen is a new and up-to-date version of this drama. The author of "Death of a Salesman" brings to bear his deep concern for the individual's responsibility to the society in which he lives. A small Norwegian town has just begun to earn fame and wealth through its medicinal spring waters. Dr. Stockmann, resident physician in charge, discovers that the waters are poisoned. On receiving proof of this he immediately reports to his associates, the town officials most immediately affected. But because of their selfish "practical" interests, they refuse to do anything about his findings. The press will not report them; the officials will not give him a hearing; he loses his position; the townspeople boycott him; ultimately his wife and children are cut off from all contact with their friends and neighbors. The family is blackmailed, slandered and evicted from their home. Only a sea captain stands by them and agrees to take them to America, but Stockmann's antagonists buy the ship and the family is refused passage. In the final dramatic moment of the play, Stockmann, deserted by all but his immediate family, stands firm in the house he must leave as an angry mob assaults it. "Remember now, everybody, you are fighting for the truth," he tells his family, "and that is why you are alone. And that makes you strong." An Enemy of the People is a National Educational Television production. This 110-minute piece was recorded on videotape and aired as NET Playhouse episode 9 on December 2, 1966 and as NET Playhouse episode 59 on November 17, 1967.
