| [00:00.000] | Czolgosz: |
| [00:00.875] | It takes a lot of men to make a gun |
| [00:06.345] | Hundreds |
| [00:07.938] | Many men to make a gun |
| [00:13.257] | Men in the mines to dig the iron |
| [00:16.189] | Men in the mills to forge the steel |
| [00:19.451] | Men at machines to turn the barrel |
| [00:22.378] | Mold the trigger, shape the wheel |
| [00:24.908] | It takes a lot of men to make a gun… |
| [00:29.946] | One gun… |
| [00:33.267] | Booth: |
| [00:34.355] | And all you have to do |
| [00:36.146] | Is move your little finger |
| [00:40.141] | Move your little finger and |
| [00:43.476] | (clicks the trigger) |
| [00:44.550] | You can change the world |
| [00:47.285] | Why should you be blue? |
| [00:49.490] | When you've your little finger? |
| [00:53.682] | Prove how just a little finger |
| [00:56.994] | Can change the world. |
| [01:02.041] | Guiteau: |
| [01:04.022] | What a wonder is a gun! |
| [01:06.271] | What a versatile invention! |
| [01:08.260] | First of all, when you've a gun |
| [01:09.680] | (He points the gun out front, slowly panning over the audience) |
| [01:11.797] | Everybody pays attention! |
| [01:13.807] | When you think what must be done |
| [01:15.972] | Think of all that it can do: |
| [01:18.888] | Remove a scoundrel |
| [01:20.966] | Unite a party |
| [01:23.078] | Preserve the union |
| [01:25.133] | Promote the sales of my book |
| [01:29.398] | Insure my future |
| [01:31.844] | My niche in history |
| [01:36.108] | And then the world will see |
| [01:39.924] | That I am not a man to overlook! |
| [01:42.824] | Ha-ha! |
| [01:48.535] | Moore: |
| [01:49.466] | I got this really great gun |
| [01:51.258] | Shit, where is it? |
| [01:52.383] | No, it's really great |
| [01:53.634] | Wait! Shit, where is it? |
| [01:55.333] | Anyway, it's just a .38 |
| [01:57.239] | But—it's a gun, |
| [01:58.895] | You can make a statement |
| [02:00.525] | (Pulls out a shoe) |
| [02:01.217] | Wrong! |
| [02:01.937] | With a gun |
| [02:02.351] | Even if you fail |
| [02:04.952] | It tells 'em who you are |
| [02:06.020] | Where you stand |
| [02:07.119] | This one was on sale |
| [02:08.470] | It— |
| [02:08.814] | No, not the shoe— |
| [02:10.018] | Well, actually the shoe was, too. |
| [02:12.123] | No, that's not it |
| [02:12.997] | Shit, I had it here |
| [02:14.840] | Got it! |
| [02:15.768] | (Pulls her gun out) |
| [02:16.477] | Yeah! There it is! |
| [02:21.310] | And |
| [02:21.903] | All： |
| [02:22.436] | All you have to do |
| [02:24.387] | Is crook your little finger |
| [02:29.050] | Hook your little finger 'round— |
| [02:32.820] | Moore: |
| [02:33.810] | Shit, I shot it . . . |
| [02:35.168] | Others: |
| [02:35.923] | You can change the world. |
| [02:39.990] | Simply follow through |
| [02:42.638] | And look, your little finger |
| [02:47.487] | Can slow them down |
| [02:50.266] | To a crawl |
| [02:51.995] | Show them all |
| [02:54.108] | Big and small |
| [02:55.834] | It took a little finger |
| [02:59.623] | No time |
| [03:02.306] | To change the world. |
| [03:12.333] | Czolgosz: |
| [03:13.454] | A gun kills many men before it's done |
| [03:18.800] | Hundreds |
| [03:20.340] | Long before you shoot the gun |
| [03:26.025] | Men in the mines |
| [03:26.840] | And in the steel mills |
| [03:28.621] | Men at machines |
| [03:29.998] | Who died for what? |
| [03:31.778] | Something to buy |
| [03:32.877] | A watch, a shoe, a gun, |
| [03:34.658] | A "thing" to make the bosses richer |
| [03:37.115] | But a gun claims many men before it's done |
| [03:44.781] | Just one more… |
