If blood is going to flow, let it flow all over this city!
Tom Hayden What is that?
I've been keeping a list every day. Americans who've been killed since the day we were arrested.
Tom Hayden Why?
With the trial starting, it might get easy to forget who this is about.
Tom Hayden Are we using the trial to defend ourselves against very serious charges that could land us in prison for ten years, or to say a pointless "**** you" to the establishment?
**** you!
Tom Hayden That is what I was afraid... Wait, I don't know if you were saying "**** you" or answering.
...I was also confused.
Winning elections, that's the first thing on your wish list? Equality, justice, education, poverty and progress, they're second?
Tom Hayden If you don't win elections, it doesn't matter what's second. And it is astonishing to me that someone still has to explain that to you.
You've all got the same father, right? 'Cut your hair, don't be a ****, respect authority, respect America - respect me.' Your life, it's a '****-you' to your father, right? A little?
Tom Hayden Maybe.
Maybe. And you can see how that's different from a rope on a tree?
Tom Hayden Yeah.
Yeah. He was shot in the shoulder first. You can't aim a gun if you've been shot in the shoulder, you can't squeeze the trigger. Second shot was in his head. Fred was executed. Anything else?
No.
[Bobby leaves the room without another word]
I'm in private practice now, and if John Mitchell wants to cut me in half, he can and he will.
Tom Hayden You have to find some... Sir, you have to find some courage now.
Find some courage? Yeah.
Tom Hayden Yes. You have to find some courage, and...
That's what those two men came to tell me, that if John Mitchell wants to cut me in half, he can and he will. So I wanted them in the room when I said 'When do you want me in court?'
Mr. Clark?
I'm sorry?
Swear me in, Bill.
It is against the law for you to testify, Ramsey. It is as simple as that.
It's General Clark. And arrest me or shut the **** up. [turns to Hayden] Found some.
Tom Hayden Our. Our. Our blood. If our blood is going to flow...
You meant to say, 'If our blood is gonna flow, then let it flow all over the city.' You didn’t mean the cops! You were saying, 'If they’re gonna beat us up, everyone should see it.'
