A scene from The Trial of the Chicago 7 2020
Sondra

You can't give this speech in Chicago!

Bobby Seale

Fred Hampton wants me there. Plane ticket.

Sondra

Let Fred give the speech!

Bobby Seale

Between Hayden and Hoffman there could be 5,000 people. It'd be nice to talk to 5,000 people.

Sondra

Not while you're in trouble in Connecticut.

Bobby Seale

Yes, well I'm in trouble - I'm the head of the Black Panthers, Sondra! When the hell am I not gonna be in trouble? Travel bag.

Sondra

You're going to be in a lot more of it if you stand up and say 'Fry the pigs!'

Bobby Seale

IF they attack me. You're taking it out of context.

Sondra

So will every white person in America! Cops won't give a shit about context, and you don't have enough protection in Chicago.

Bobby Seale

There's no place to be right now but in it.

Sondra

But 'Fry the pigs'?

Bobby Seale

IF they attack...

Sondra

Dr. King...

Bobby Seale

Is dead! He has a dream? Well now he has a **** bullet in his head! Martin's dead, Malcom's dead, Medgar's dead, Bobby's dead, Jesus is dead. They tried it peacefully, we're gonna try something else.
