A line from Fritz

My soul is tormented! I've been up and down the four corners of this big old world! I've seen it all! I've done it all! I've fought many a good man, and laid many a good woman! I've had riches and fame and adventure...I've tasted life to the fullest, and still my soul cries out, yes, cries out in this hungry, tortured, wrecked quest: 'More!'

Hey, hey, hey, Look at this big **** gun! [shoots the toilet] I killed the john! I killed the john!

Fritz
[Arriving back at his dorm room, where his roomates ignore him]

Hello men... everybody all busy studyin' for the goddamn exams and all? Hey Fuzz, how'd it go with that Dee Dee chick, huh? She's got some bod' you have to admit, heh... ol' Charlene isn't bad either though right?... like, wow. Heinz! You swine, ol' buddy pig, ya groove behind Alvina and get some kicks tonight, huh? [laughs][Scene fades into black]. Bastards... you'd think the goddamn exams were the be-all and, end-all of existence... the cosmic life-force or somethin'. Y'd think they were the frickin' fugitives. Can't even get in a few decent words to a guy... bastards... What a bore they just sit there and take bennies an' stay up all night with their face stuck in a bunch of books an' their thumb up their ass. Oh Yes, yes I remember when the time when it was all very inspiring and enlightening... all this history and literature and sociology sh*t... You think learning is a really big thing an' you become this big ****in' intellectual and sit around tryin' ta out-intellectual all the other big ****in' intellectuals... you spend years and years with your nose buried in these goddamn tomes. While the world is passin' you by... and all the stuff to see and all th' kicks an' girls are all out there... an' ME, a writer an' a poet who should be havin' adventures an' experiencing all the diversities and paradoxes and ironies of life! And passin' over all the roads of the world! An' diggin' all the cities and towns and rives... and the oceans... and making all of them chicks... [Imagines naked woman] As a writer and poet it is my duty to get out there and dig the world... to swing with the whole friggin' scene while there's still time! [Grabs paper] My farting around days are over baby! From this day on I shall live every day as if it was my last! Yeah! Yeah! I must do it! No more the dreary boring classes, the dismal lectures, the sitting around bullsh*tting with pretentious fat-ass hippies, no more the books, the spoutings of a bunch of old farts who think they know the whole goddamn score! [Gathers all the papers into a big pile] Ha Ha! Heh Heh. Heh.[Breathes fire] Oh my God! What have I done? Oh...man. [We see the roof of Fritz's dorm on fire] I've set all my notes and books and stuff on fire an' uh, now I can't study for my exams...An' I'll flunk out an' my folks'll be pissed off as hell... I-I'll get a blanket... the blanket's on fire. Man we'd better call the fire department.

Fritz
[yelling at various cops as they chase after him]

WE SHALL OVERCOME!

Fritz

The love you give is equal to the love you get.

Fritz

I've been up and down the four corners of this big old world. I've seen it all and I've done it all. I've fought many a good man, and I've laid many a good woman and if there's one thing I've learned it's.. it's... it's you get over here and you get down there like that an then you blondie... [Fritz starts dragging all three girls to the bed and jump and the and removed their clothes and Fritz removed the bandages Having sexual pleasure with the girls]

Fritz

I know about the race problem - I've studied the race problem!

Duke

You don't know nothing about the race problem! You've got to be a crow to know about the race problem!

Fritz
[the car breaks down; and Fritz gets out to inspect it - he opens the trunk first]

No, I knew that - the engine's not here, it's in the back...

Winston Schwartz
[goes to look at the engine]

What's wrong, Fritz?

Fritz

Well, it's all very complicated Winston, ah, I think it's got the piston rod stuck in the drive shaft... either that or the carburator's rusted out... or something.

Fritz

You're a mother**** bitch!

Winston

I see the hard facts of life! I am realistic, something you're incapable of! You'd be better off with one of those stupid little morons like Charlene who you could just sleep with and throw away when you're done! You can't cope with a mature woman!

Harriet

Hi.

Fritz

How are you?

Harriet

High.

Fritz

Why'd you have to hit her so hard for?

Lizard Leader

She loved it. Listen man, me and you have been assigned to blow up the power plant. That's all I care about. The Revolution.

Fritz
[She turns on the radio and Fritz turns off the radio]

You're full of shit! All you care about is a reason to hurt, to destroy, to blow up!

Duke
[Fritz bumps into Duke at a pool table]

Hey, man, you in a bag?

Fritz

Yeah, that's it. I'm in a bag.

Duke

Just don't lose your coolness, cat. I mean, don't lose your coolness.

Fritz

Well, easy for you to talk. You're a crow. I wish I was a crow. If I was a crow, I'd fly away, man. I'd fly away from this miserable town for good.

Duke

You think being a crow is a big mother**** ball? All you cats the same, man. You don't know where it is. There's nobody to tell you where it's at. And you come up here, try to find out where it's at, but you got to be up here, man, to find out what's happening!

Fritz

I know it isn't a ball, man. I studied the race problems. I know.

Duke

You don't know nothing about the race problem! You gotta be a crow to know about the race problem! You know what I mean? Do you dig where I'm at? You know what I'm talking about?

Fritz

Well, listen, man. this thing affects me very deeply, fella. As a cat, I have a considerable guilt complex, because my kind have always brought suffering on your kind.

Duke

Yeah?

Fritz

Yeah. Yes, indeed, my soul is tortured and tormented by this racial crisis.

Duke

No sh*t?

Fritz

Sometimes I really get hung up about it. You know, uptight. Strung out.

Duke

ln a bag?

Fritz

Yeah, in a bag.

Fritz

Revolt! Revolt! Revolt, you thick-skulled idiots! You have carried heavy burdens for the bosses! You have sweat your lives away for the bosses! The bosses! They ride around in limousines!

Crow

Get the **** off my car!

Fritz

The Bosses! They're eating strawberries and cream!

Duke

That's funny! Cats are real boss!

[The pigs show up]

ALRIGHT, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! BREAK IT UP!

Duke

Cool it, officer. He's just blowing hot air. No one's paying no mind.

Fritz

Come the revolution, there gonna be no more limousines! Come the revolution, there gonna be no more strawberries and cream! See?!

Al (Pig Cop #1)
[laughing]

Hey, Ralph, you know how these dumb kids are. They don't know what they doing.

**** "A" right.

Fritz
[pointing at the pigs]

There he is! He's the one who keeps the bosses in power! HE'S THE ONE WHO'S HOLDING YOU DOWN!

Al (Pig Cop #1)

Who, me?

Al (Pig Cop #1)

No, no, not me, YOU!

[fighting]

No You!

Al (Pig Cop #1)

No You!

You, You, You!

Al (Pig Cop #1)

Me!

Not me, YOU!

Al (Pig Cop #1)

Yeah you!

Al (Pig Cop #1)

**** you!
Ralph (Pig Cop #2): YOU FIRST!

Fritz

THE SPIKED BUDDHA CAPITALISM! THE IRON THUMB ON THE HEADS OF THE PROLETTERIAT!

Al (Pig Cop #1)
[The crows slowly and angrily surround and close-in on the pigs] [to Ralph; scared]

They're gonna kill us.
[As the crows inch closer, Ralph pulls out a photo of his family] Ralph (Pig Cop #2): [to the crows; smiling nervously] Would you like to see a picture of my kids?

Duke
[One of the crows throws a glass bottle at Ralph in his left eye. Ralph starts shooting at the crows, but this only angers them even more. Pig Cop #1 gets on his knees and prays, while Ralph continues shooting frantically before the crows pounce on them and brutally kill them. Horrified, Duke watches the scene turn into chaos before rushing to Fritz.]

Come on, man! You'll get killed up here!
[Duke is suddenly shot and starts bleeding excessively as he slowly dies. His corpse collapses onto the road.]

Fritz

Son of a bitch.

Winston

You're so clever. so clever. big mechanical genius. here's a bucket, smart guy. good luck.

Fritz

Hey, this is for shit! you made a big bourgeois deal out of everything. and ruined it completely. I was gonna bug out and be free from all this bullshit and roam around and dig everything and really have a good time.

Winston

Your naivete is astounding. You'd be completely lost without me, Fritz and you know it.

Fritz

You're a mother**** bitchh!

Winston

I see the hard facts of life! I am realistic, something you're incapable of! You'd be better off with one of those stupid little morons like Charlene who you could just sleep with and throw away when you're done! You can't cope with a mature woman! You haven't the faintest idea how lucky you are that an intelligent woman loves you and wants to give you something of value something that will inflame your creative potential! Now, get going and hurry up!

Fritz

We'll see who gets lost without whom.
