00:28We honor him for that today and thank him.

00:58But when you look hard at that contract with America, you're pretty hard pressed to find

01:08where the American people fit into that contract.

01:28Well, that ought to do it.

01:41Think you use enough dynamite there, Butch?

01:47Well, when I started the festival in 1985, if this doesn't work, I'm not going to hang

01:57around pumping it or beating a dead horse.

02:00If it does work, then if it ever ceases to service a need or to be irrelevant, that'll

02:09be the end of that.

02:17Mr. Clausen's office.

02:25This is Bob Woodward of the Washington Post.

02:27Can I talk to Mr. Clausen, please?

02:28This is a society divided by fear, hatred, and violence.

02:33And until we talk about just what this society really is, then I don't know how we're going

02:37to change it.

02:47To me, there's no greater reward than to be honored by the people you work with.

03:06So, of course, I'm very, very moved by it.

03:10This allowed me to just be an actor again, because that's how I started.

03:25There's a lot of pressure and there's a lot of weight to being a director, and particularly

03:29a director-producer.

03:31So, I loved it, and I would like to continue that.

03:35I don't want to have to act and direct every time I go out.

03:39I like the idea of just acting.

03:42I love directing, yes, but I think just acting, I like that a lot.

03:49I hope I can continue to do that.

04:03I hope it puts a smile on their face.

04:05We can use it.

04:09Akay, Kingremice.

04:10It's gonna see you soon.

04:11Come on, I'll do that.

04:12I love to listen to you soon.

04:13It will be you soon.

04:14I'm glad you're listening with you soon.
